OK, that might be a little premature. But apparently the brief “war” we have been experiencing is about to end, for now:
I confess that I am not ready for the 12-day war to be over. I want the mullahs destroyed and overthrown, and, preferably, the return of the Shah to lead a constitutional monarchy. But Trump’s announcement indicates, in essence, a surrender by Iran’s leadership–whoever that may be, at this point. There is no reason not to take “yes” for an answer. Iran, the supposed Jew-destroying nation, has been exposed and humiliated, following on the heels of Israel’s devastation of its terrorist proxies. So peace is likely to reign for a while, at least.
Note that Russia and China, Iran’s purported allies and sponsors, have played no role in recent events. This is a big win for us, and a big setback for them. I seriously think that any plan China may have to invade Taiwan has now been deferred at least to the end of the Trump administration.
Give the man the Nobel Peace Prize.
ONE MORE THING: The most Trumpian phrase in that post is: “…which it will…” After Saturday night, yes, everything ought to work as it should.
AND ANOTHER: Will the Democrats proceed to file their articles of impeachment? Or maybe they have filed them already. All I can say is, please do! And be sure to send the Squad out to represent your party on Middle Eastern issues.
