WE TEND TO FORGET . . .
On June 28, 1919 – Germany Was Forced To Sign The 14-Point Treaty Of Versailles, at the Behest of the Allied Forces (Britain, France, America & Italy), which Stipulated Germany’s Punishment & Restrictions – For Starting WWI.
Trump’s Current Proposed Treaty With Iran Features 15-Points.
Between 1919 & The Early 1930’s – In About A Decade’s Time, the World Began to Forget the Meaning & Purpose of the Treaty of Versailles, which Restricted German Militarization, as the World Moved-On to Other Pressing Issues, Since WWI Was Yesterday’s News.
On January 30, 1933 . . . Adolf Hitler Was Made Chancellor Of Germany.
THE WORLD WAS PAYING ATTENTION & DID NOTHING:
On August 19, 1934 . . . Through “Democratic” Procedures (National Plebiscite), Hitler Assumed the Power of the German Presidency with a 90% Plurality.
In The Space Of Days, Hitler Abolished the Titles of Chancellor & President, for his New Designation as Führer & Reich Chancellor . . . Which Began his Lifetime Appointment as Commander & Chief Over Everything German.
In The Short Span Of Just 4-Years . . . Germany, Under Hitler Rebuilt its Military Way Beyond What was Agreed to in the Treaty of Versailles.
On September 30, 1938 . . . Germany, Italy, France & England Signed The Munich Agreement, which Allowed Germany to Seize Sovereign Territory from Czechoslovakia in the Guise to Liberate Ethnic Germans from the Czechoslovakian Sudetenland, For The Purpose Of Appeasing Germany To Avoid Another European War.
On September 1, 1939, Germany Invaded the Sovereign Territory of Poland, which Had a Mutual Defense Pact with England, Forcing England to Issue its Declaration of War Against Germany . . . Eventually Cascading Into A 6-Year World War . . .
World War II Ended In Europe On May 8, 1945, which Had Led to the Deaths of as Many as 100-Million People.
DEALS CANNOT BE MADE WITH SNAKES – NO MATTER PROMISES MADE:
Germany Was Given The State Of Sudetenland For Peace – Then Went After The Rest Of Europe.
WHAT MAKES ANYONE BELIEVE WE COULD TRUST IRAN?
The Current Iranian Regime Can-Not Be Trusted.
A Government that Publicly Slaughters its Own Dissenters Cannot be Trusted. A Country that Lies About its Weaponry (Nuclear & Distance Of Missiles) Cannot be Trusted. A Country that Finances, Organizes & Arms Terrorist Armies to Wage a Terror War Against its Democratic Neighbors Cannot be Trusted. A Country that Abhors Freedom of Expression Cannot be Trusted.
Knowing The Preceding . . . What Could Compel Anyone To Trust Iran’s Word In Any Capacity?
I DON’T LIKE TRUMP – I WOULD VOTE FOR HIM – BUT I DON’T LIKE HIM:
I Would Vote For Trump, Because Much Of What Trump Is Doing Must Be Done, Domestically & Globally . . . Certainly Within the Context of America’s Long Overdue War Against the Mullahs of Iran, which Has Indeed Been Caused by an Iranian Existential Threat (Nuclear) Against America, In-Spite Of What The American LEFT (Democrats) Say For Their Own Political Expedience.
IMAGINE SACRIFICING PATRIOTISM FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE:
Just One Year – Almost To The Day, Prior To The Declaration Of WWII – The Allies (England & France) Tried to Buy Peace with the Nazis, who Never Tried to Hide their True Intentions . . . Europe Didn’t Believe, or More Succinctly, Didn’t Want to Believe the Threats of Nazi Germany.
IS THAT WHERE WE ARE NOW?
Are we Going to Make Believe that we Can Make a Bargain with a Regime Governed by Snakes, Who Make No Effort to Hide Who they are and What they Stand-For?
Will This Be Like The Munich Agreement, When the Less than Useless Prime Minister of England (Neville Chamberlain), Landed in England the Day-Of, Holding the Signed Agreement he Negotiated with Hitler – As He Declared . . .
“My Good Friends, For The Second Time In Our History, A British Prime Minister Has Returned From Germany Bringing Peace With Honor. I Believe It Is Peace For Our Time . . . Go Home And Get A Nice Quiet Sleep.”
In Less than One Year from the Day Chamberlain Declared . . . Peace For Our Time – The World Was Roiled in the Worse Catastrophe . . . Humanity Ever Knew.
I TRUST TRUMP & TRUMP’S ADVISORS NOT TO BE THAT NAÏVE OR COWARDLY:
I Am All But Certain That Trump Knows Exactly Who & What He Is Dealing With . . . And Instead of Making a Deal with this Iranian Vipers’ Pit . . . I Pray That Trump Is Playing For Time, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth & General Dan Caine Organize all their Troops & Assets for Maximum Lethality.
Maybe Trump Will Be Able To Squeeze A Deal With Iran . . . But Probably Not.
What I Do Know . . . Is That No Deal With Iran Is Better Than A Bad Deal. And there is No Deal Worth a Repeat Military Visit to Iran in Later Years . . . because Iran Could Not be Trusted to Live by Whatever Promises Iran Might Make, Just To Buy Time Until They Start Their BS All Over Again.
This Is Not 1938, Trump Is Not Neville Chamberlain . . . And America Is Not 1930’s England.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

How many heads do they have? Each must be continually cut off, but the whole body must be removed. The Persian people must be helped to rise up.
Having seen the disasters of Ukraine; the utter failures in Gaza and Lebanon; not to forget the shameless dithering in Iran; and the unforgiving mistreatment of Best Friend, neighbor, and business collaborator– Canada; this observer is absolutely unable and unwilling to consider any circumstance of trusting Donald J Trump. AEN
While Iran is waiting for DJT and the Israelis to set up “peace talks”–I would start air dropping small arms, explosives, and ammo directly to the Iranian people–Then wait for them to deal with their Government.
Trump and his negotiators are too eager to make deals; look at Hamas and Gaza. Israel should have finished off those Islamists while they were down on the ground. The time they have been given has allowed them to recruit, build arms, and reorganize. The IDF will lose more soldiers, and the cost to the Israelis and Gazans will only be higher. Trump has to learn that when dealing with EVIL, the only answer is extermination.
Howard I thought you liked Trump ? I’ll back him all the way “Go Trump Go”. I even have Trump stickers for my car.
If not Trump/ What would Kamelia have done?
Times have changed the method of war today and this is not a war Trump can win. The logistics are against America, too far from home.I don’t think Trump knows what/who he is dealing/fighting with, namely Islam and hardened sharia ideologists. This is not Iraq #2. Trump would be better and well advised to fight the home war on Islam and the invasion of Texas, Florida, New York and Utah before it’s too late. Canada is facing the same problem and we can’t depend on Carney the Muslim lover.
I pray you’re right. Trump is mezmerized by the klieg lights and the (pyrrhic) glory of “ending wars” just like Obama in Iraq, and aside from the fact that the enemy didn’t end it when he did and the prospect of having made the deal for peace (in our time?). Trump’s greatest weakness is his narcissism and the world knows it. Meanwhile Iranian missiles are raining down on Israel. The only person in the administration I really trust in is Marco Rubio.
