From the moment the talks between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran commenced in Islamabad, Pakistan on Saturday, only one of three results could follow: Munich, 1938 with the U.S. appeasing Iran; ReykjavÃk, 1986 with diplomatic deadlock; or Appomattox, 1865 with the exhausted and broken Iranians surrendering to the reality of hard power.
Turns out it was Reykjavik 2.0 with Vice President J.D. Vance instead of President Reagan exiting the meetings looking stone-faced and irritated as he announced an end to the talks and the departure of the United States delegation.
A from all Iranian ports commenced Monday at 10 AM pursuant to President Trumps order to the . The Navy has already commenced mine-clearing operations in the international waters in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday â during the talks. Quite a signal, that.
President Trump has indicated that renewed strikes on the teetering Islamic Republic of Iran are possible as well. Israel continues to pummel Hezbollah, Irans proxy in Lebanon.
It was a very bad weekend for terrorists in the Middle East as well as for the mother ship regime that supports them all in Tehran. The ayatollahs and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that prop them up are down to their fifth string “generals,” and the impotent “elected officials” of Iran who have never had other than the power the IRGC allocated to them.
The Iranian regime has survived on terror and bluster for 47 years. Now its on the edge of collapse because of and Israeli Prime Minister .
The fact the these two men are orchestrating the strategic defeat of a sinister, lunatic regime that as recently as January 8-9 murdered more than 30,000 of its own people in two days has the left in America and around the world working through cognitive dissonance. It would be amusing were the Iranian people not suffering so under the boot of the Islamist fanatics and the cost in American and Israeli lives in the dozens.
Our domestic left know they should actually cheer the ongoing collapse of the power of the and the threat they present to the world. But the fact that the cartoon villains living in their collective heads rent-free 24/7/365 â Trump and Netanyahu â are the pair deconstructing the baddies leaves the lefties in legacy media and the Democratic Party stuttering and mumbling.
Many of them are also carrying the (very heavy) sunk costs of the absurd “” from the halcyon days of peak Obama in 2015. The JCPOA was indeed the worst deal America ever made but the held it up as an achievement for the ages. Trump blew it up. They havent recovered.
Like super-seniors pining for their glory days during the Elvis craze, the political equivalent of the 1950s teeny boppers from Team Obama and his supporters in the legacy media are downcast, feeling left behind and increasingly certain that no one will ever fall for their “echo-chamber-leading- from-behind” schtick again.
Not only has their beloved JCPOA revealed as idiocy, but now Trump and Netanyahu have also revealed the Islamic Republic to have been less than the mighty superpower Team Obama built them up to be or at least put them on the path towards being.
More danger is ahead but clarity is a wonderful thing. Serious people have always had the Iranian regimes number. Silly podcasters and successive Democratic presidents may not have understood the depth of the evil they faced in Tehran, but the center-right and national security hawks never saw anything but menace. A reminder that it was who first and loudly blew the whistle on the fraud that was the JCPOA, just as he did on the Wuhan lab leak. Perhaps listen to Cotton next time an international crisis arises and not Beltway sharpies with podcasts?
Team Obama may not have just been dense. They may simply have been afraid of confronting the killers in Iran.
No matter. Their era of appeasement is over now. The Vice President gave the Ira
