What the hell took ya so long, anyway

When Jimmeh Peanut sat supinely back and allowed a bunch of Moslem weird-beard revolutionaries to overthrow the Shah and help themselves to Iran’s treasury, natural resources, and military assets and justi basically did nothing to stop or at lest disrupt it beyond barricading himself in the White House to watch America be stripped of its power, position, and international prestige on The TeeWee, he made one of the most damaging, unneccessary, preventable, and boneheaded mistakes any head of any governnent ever has, or likely ever will. When “President” Weakass Moron surrendered to an implacably aggressive, megalomaniacal, and quite frankly batshit insane leadership cabal ever known, well, it pretty much told any astute American patriot everything he would really need to know about the direction the American future was being dragged towards by its rotten to the core career politician case.

For years afterward, Israel’s own feckless ProPol class has expelled gale force levels of hot gas in massive quantities, blustering mightily about the Iran’s tterror-sponsoring leaders won’t be allowed to do this, will face terrible, awful, bad, no good consequences should they foolishly keep ton doing that, and just better damn well stop doing the other. It was all just a great big old pantload of hooey, natch; contra all the empty threats, bluster, and total bullshit issued by Israel, the FUSA, and all the other limp-wristed bunco artists the West can scrape up, Iran has been allowed to get away with doing pretty much anything it wants scot free.

Until now at any rate, thanks to Netanyahu and his big brass ones. While I’m pleased to see Israel’s vigorous response to Tehran’s despotic goobermint, I can’t say that it’s my own belief that we should jump right into the fray with both boots to directly join in ourselves. Not that we don’t owe the Mad Mullahs a serious ass-whupping for decades of verbal abuse, monetary, materiel, and secret sabotage in support of terrorist groups all over the world, I hasten to add. But this ain’t the time; Americans no longer have the strong stomachs and the will to win required to see such a campaign through to total victory; plus, our own military muscle has been sapped by Leftard libertines so badly the reason to just assume an American victory over pretty much anybody, anywhere, remains a foregone conclusion.

T’ain’t so, McGee.

So far, for Israel, it’s going well: they have destroyed the Republican Guard headquarters and killed its commander, General Salami. In other targeted assassinations, the head of the Iranian army is dead, as are more than ten nuclear scientists, and various other bigshots, including at least one potential successor to Ayatollah Khamenei, who for the moment appears to be alive. It’s the biggest military action on the soil of the Islamic Republic since the Iran/Iraq War forty years ago.

~To get the obvious out of the way, what should America do?


That’s probably correct as far as the politics of it is concerned. But the other reason for not getting America involved is, of course, that the Pentagon is totally crap at war. So, if the US is on your side, you’ll lose. See, most recently, Afghanistan and Ukraine – the former an international humiliation, and the latter having been micro-managed from Washington until January 20th with equally disastrous results, at least for the dwindling number of Ukrainians living in Ukraine. US military effectiveness is fading from living memory: for three-quarters of a century now, Washington has been utterly unable to use war to achieve any strategic national objective – despite accounting for forty per cent of the entire planet’s military expenditures. There is nothing to suggest Iran is likely to be an exception to the rule.

Nope, not really. They could be made one, possibly, but without a widespread adjustment of Western shitllib attitudes powerful enough to persuade them of their desperate need to reconsider…heck, pretty much everydamnedthing, I just don’t see any such thing happening.

  1. The obvious –
    Israel needs our support, weapons systems, munitions manufacturing, battlefield view, etc. What they do not need when destroying 3rd world barbarians is our direct military support. They can handle that all by themselves. That should be clear to even the most ardent Jew haters.

    Iran is a paper tiger, just like Saddam’s Iraq, Yes they have the missiles and a few, very few, will get through (and have), but to no great effect.

    This is not a “3 day operation”. Israel has spent months preparing for this and the intent is quite clear – the Iranian regime is going down. What will replace it? I’ll guess that the Iranian people will determine their own fate.

    Trump knew exactly what was coming and was an active participant. I have told you since before the election that Trump has made it very clear Iran would be taken down. Trump knows the mad maniacs will never negotiate a true peace and thus they must be destroyed. Israel is doing the dirty work with our support and back up.

    Last, lets correct the bullshit that gets spread –
    “So, if the US is on your side, you’ll lose. See, most recently, Afghanistan and Ukraine…”
    Afghanistan was a model win. We did it with a handful of soldiers and air operations in concert with indigenous people. Very low loss of life for our side and during the last couple years under Trump the taliban was shut down. American service men in country were more likely to die of boredom than enemy action. 2020 and 2021 combined there were a total of 24 deaths. The entire 20 year campaign saw 2,456 deaths with 3/4 of those coming in the first 10 years or so. Afghanistan defeated and humiliated the Soviet Union, they are known as the burier of empires. The USA defeated Afghanistan thoroughly on the battlefield and subdued the taliban terrorists. That is not losing. Biden fucking up the final withdrawal (which they did on purpose to obfuscate the win) has nothing to do with the success of the war.

    Ukraine is an example of America “losing”? Pure hogwash. While I do not support our involvement due to the corruption of our politicians involved and the corruption of the Ukraine government, it is the russians that are the big losers. Their special operation meant to last from a few days to a few weeks is now past it’s 3rd year anniversary. Ukraine is a 3rd word country 1/5 the size of russia (population) and all the russians have to do is drive to the damn border for the invasion (contrast with the USA sending troops and materials half way around the world). Ukraine could not have sustained the battle on their own certainly, but calling this a loss for the US is patent bullshit of the purest kind.

    Our military has issues. Our military is the finest on the planet and it is so by a margin of 5:1 over the nearest rivals and that’s being generous. That we keep them on a leash is a good thing for our numerous enemies.

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
Donald Sensing

"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
Etienne de la Boiete

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
Skeptic

"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
Joseph Goebbels

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
Ronald Reagan

"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
NC Reed, from Parno's Peril

"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
