The Dems’ leaders and media are treating the Iran war exactly as they need to in order to win the House and Senate this year.  They are creating a horror show that gins up their already fervid voters even more.

The cold political reality of elections in our current U.S. is that voters get up to vote only when they are angry and scared.  When your side is winning everything, for the Reds, it’s ho-hum, isn’t that nice, I guess I’ll stay home this time.  One TV guy, Mark Levin, does 90% Dem vilification (Communists!), the same 90% that all the MSNBC folk spend burning Trump (King!).  MSNBC is beating FOX on fear mongering.  Thus they will win.

So I need to go back to Iran, to remind us Independents of the fact-based, non-partisan version of reality our kind prefers.

  • Iran has been an imminent threat for 50 years.  Waiting even just months longer on the initial bombing would have given them nukes, and this attack will stop their ballistic missiles from controlling all Arabia.  Any MORE “imminent” would have meant “too late,” as with Russia, China, Pakistan, and North Korea on their nukes.
  • Neither Japan, Germany, North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, nor even Russia and China have hated us so much they declared they would attack us in our homeland in order to destroy our civilians.  That’s what “Death to America! Means.
  • This was extremely well planned and justified.  Again, compare it to the relative chaos of all our other wars.
  • It follows the legal right and mandate of our president to initiate–and Congress won’t touch it, as always, when the 60-days is up.
  • Amazingly, we have the support of all the Arab countries against their fellow (rabid) Islamic brothers.
  • This benefits most the Far East, especially Japan, and our NATO non-brethren, despite their making us do all the work while they sneer on the sidelines.
  • It will, for the first time since Kuwait, be timely ended, though of course not like Venezuela–but remember, even Chavez never said “Death to America.”  We did not need regime change, or the total destruction of their attack facilities.

Compare to the Ukraine war, still beloved by the Dems.  

  • It’s dragged on longer than WW2.  
  • No one was threatening us at all, thus protecting us from nothing–and in fact, coldly ignoring the possibilities of nuclear escalation, actually creating its own real threat.  
  • It has no possible gains.  
  • We have supported the killing of a million Russians, and enabled the continuing deaths of hundreds of thousand Ukrainians, with our cluster bombs and ballistic missiles.  
  • It has had neither any initial strategic plan, nor any plan to get out, until Trump is at least trying, with zero help and support.

Welcome back to the rational world, fellow Independents.
