ZM-

I hope that is all true.

Some are pointing out that the US (and Israel) are "too civilized" to win wars anymore.

You know how the US defeated Japan? We firebombed Tokyo, killing 400k, and then dropped two nukes. Only then, Japan folded. It was brutal, but also shortened and ended the war, and won a durable peace that has lasted since.

Germany was mercilessly bombed for months.

The US and Israel will not wipe out Tehran. That "civility" will allow the demented Ayatollah regime to hunker down...and possibly survive.

I hope not.

   Most people these days only know what the movie "Oppenheimer" told them about the A bombing of Japan to end WW 2. They don't know it took 2 A Bombs to get Japan to surrender. And then they complain about the death and devastation, not knowing Japan made it even worse on themselves by forcing the dropping of the 2nd A Bomb. They don't know the bloodshed the USA suffered to just take the Islands encircling Japan. POTUS Truman knew a land invasion of Japan would result in far worse US casualties. Most people under 35 yrs old just do not know history. Hell, they can't even do the basic math that is required to "make change". And they're worried about AI eliminating their "jobs"? THEY, all by themselves, eliminate their "jobs". Your basic 35 and under is a total "dip sh*t".

Oh, a lot of people don't know Israel and Iran were friends and allies until 1979---and I think they can be again, if Western liberal democracies see this next act through.

Imagine a Middle East planning peace and prosperity instead of how to contain and appease and fear the nuke-addled Islamo-fascist terror regime in Tehran.

Added plus (for TG!): Russia takes a huge whack when Tehran goes down.

    China is also a huge loser. The loss of Venezuela oil + loss of Iran oil puts a big energy strain on China. And Trump is supposed to go to China in a few months. If Trump does go to China, this will be the centerpiece of their "discussion". Per his "Method Of Operation", Trump would hold huge "Leverage".

Question: How could the American electorate be so ignorant as to elect Donald Trump in 2016 and 2024?

Answer: It was the result of the cumulative effects of fifty-plus years of KGB disinformation and "active measures" operations aimed at getting Americans to distrust their government.

For example, Oliver Stone's 1991 film, "JFK," the origins of which can be traced back to an anti-Clay Shaw / anti-CIA article published in a Communist-owned Italian newspaper, Paese Sera, three days after overly ambitious, scandal-plagued, and revengeful New Orleans DA Jim Garrison arrested Shaw on suspicion of having masterminded a homosexual thrill-kill assassination of JFK, and which article motivated Garrison to change his theory against Shaw to "He organized it for the evil, evil CIA."

   It's good seeing that time has opened your eyes. Like Nixon in 1960, Trump did Win in 2020. "Better late than never".

Nixon won in 1960. Trump won in 2020.

Dear Dana Rohrabacher I mean Royell Storing,

It's too bad that a Kremlin-loyal triple agent at the FBI's NYC field office (KGB Major Aleksey Kulak -- aka FEDORA -- sent by Gribanov to the FBI in early 1962) convinced Nixon in 1971 that the Kremlin had a complete copy of The Pentagon Papers (it didn't), and thereby duped him into setting up The Plumbers.

If Trump won in 2020 as you say, why did sixty courts say otherwise?

Because they're part of "The Deep State"?

PS

[Former U.S. Congressman] Rohrabacher is known for his longtime friendship with Putin and for his defense of "the Russian point of view".[73][74] On June 15, 2016, then-House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told a group of Republicans, "'There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God'". Then-House Speaker Paul Ryan ended the conversation by saying "'No leaks. This is how we know we're a real family here'". The Republicans present were sworn to secrecy.[75] Brendan Buck, counselor to Paul Ryan, initially denied these reports, but was then told that The Washington Post had a recording.[76] After the recording was leaked by the Post in May 2017, McCarthy said the comment was intended as a joke.[75][36][77]

I am a Trump supporter and I don't believe he won the 2020 election anymore than I believe Nixon won in 1960. There seemed to be some shady things going on but I see no way it could have decided the election. Biden flipped five states that Trump won in 2016 and to reverse the outcome, Trump would have needed to hold three of them. I don't see how that is remotely possible.

Likewise, JFK won the electoral college comfortably. The election came down to the last 3 large states that were still up for grabs, Illinois, Missouri, and Texas. Nixon had to win at least Illinois and Texas to win the electoral college. He lost all three. Had he won Missouri and one of the other two, the election would have been decided by the House of Representatives as Harry Byrd's 15 electoral votes would have prevented either man from getting a majority.

Illinois has always got most of the attention due to the alleged vote manipulation by Dick Daley's Cook County machine, which almost certainly did create votes for JFK. What people ignore is the fact the Republicans were doing the same thing in their stronghold of Lake County in the northern suburbs of Chicago. The Republicans accused the Democrats of cheating better than they did. Even if Nixon had carried Illinois, he still would have lost the election as he failed to carry Texas or Missouri.

   Above, YOU are the one saying that Trump won in 2020. You clearly made a, "Freudian slip".
