“I hope that either all of us or none of us are judged by the actions of our weakest moments, but rather by the strength we show when and if we’re given a second chance”—

It’s sad that this even has to be said, but if your initial reaction to the IRGC’s “Open Letter to America” is to get on the internet & shriek about how “voting this way or that way is what the terrorists want” then I hate to inform you, but you’re the mark. The IRGC doesn’t care about Democrats, they don’t care about Republicans, they don’t care about Independents, they shout “Death to America” for a reason. The open letter is nothing more than a sad attempt at creating more division with the ultimate hope of destabilization. If you think that it’s pathetic that Democrats “will be voting the way Iran wants” then you should find it just as pathetic that your response to their open letter is you doing exactly what they wanted you to do.

“It was always more hype than hypersonic”-AH Men lie, women lie, Russia produces constant lies in the form of propaganda for the sole purpose of destabilizing & demoralizing the West. Their greatest weapon has always been disinformation because bombs & missiles land in targeted areas, propaganda lands everywhere.

The amount of grown men on this platform who cosplay as the epitome of patriotism & masculinity while endlessly arguing like teenager girls with the same 5 people, over the same 4 issues is absolutely astonishing. Even worse, there’s a secondary group of individuals that revolve their entire personality around their favorite politician(s) & their fan pages that back them which is fucking weird. Do y’all not have actual jobs? Families? Kids? I couldn’t imagine responding to my wife asking what I’m doing by stating “really putting the pressure on SuperLib24” or tucking my kids in while in the midst of jockeying for position in proving how superior your service & knowledge in National Security is superior to others. Have some fucking shame, y’all are in your 40’s, 50’s, 60’s & have convinced yourself you’re in the fight by warring in comment sections…

An absolutely brilliant edit, well done.

A whole lot of you could learn something if you paid attention instead of blind outrage…

It’s the names of those lesser known that are & have always been true heroes of our nation.

There’s truly no other conclusion to reach here other than he’s compromised by a foreign country. You can reach whatever conclusion you want as to what form that compromise comes in, but this is insane levels of delusion.

If all you can bring yourself to talk about while celebrating #America birthday is politics, political issues, political divisions, & politicians then you’re just as much of the problem as those you’re complaining about. We are not a perfect nation because there’s no such thing as a perfect nation. We have our shortcomings, we have our imperfections, we have our differences, we have our major differences, we have our issues that still must be addressed & resolved, but regardless of those things we are still the single greatest nation that exists & that’s just another truth we hold as self evident. If you love the country like you say that you do then love it like it deserves to be loved & celebrated. This birthday is a celebration of the men & women who gave their lives for what we have today. It’s about those who continued to stand up & volunteer when the country they love needs them to. It’s about those who dreamed big & sacrificed even more, it’s about those who continue to do the same now. This moment isn’t about politics or politicians, political parties or differences, it’s about our nation. It’s about the people who came before us, those who are here now, & those who will come to be. Love your country the way it deserves to be loved, even if it’s just for the day. Make it about her, her history, her past, her present, & her future. It’s easy to complain about what’s not right, but this milestone deserves more than easy outrage. It deserves appreciation & gratitude, it deserves remembrance & respect, it deserves its moment to be recognized for all that it is, not what it isn’t.

We’re really about to get to the point where Trump is going to try & make a case to Congress & the American people that the IRGC should no longer be designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. It’s the only way he can agree to sanction relief against Iran & it’s absolutely delusional if he actually goes through with it. The current head of the IRGC is Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, a man that oversaw & ran the training & arming Shia militias in Iraq fighting American forces. He was one of the architects behind the EFP/IED tactics that were responsible for the killing of hundreds of Americans & injuring even more. He doesn’t leave Iran because he has an Interpol Red Notice on him for his role in the 1994 AMIA bombing in Argentina. Fucking insanity, truly indefensible.

What a flick🇺🇸🇺🇸

HER

What are we even doing? Iran continues to attack while we keep getting told how great negotiations are going & how a deal is just always days away?

I am so unbelievably happy!!!! Let’s fucking gooooo!

I’ll withhold judgment on the Iran war until all the facts & such shake out, but I’ll say this… If you spend American blood & treasure, what we accomplished shouldn’t have to be explained, it should be brutally apparent.

Don’t let the ignorance or political biases of others distract from the incredible success of our military. We didn’t risk the lives of many for one person, we made good on the commitment that Uncle Sam has given every single person who enlists in his military that no one gets left behind. You can’t put a price on every single service member knowing that no matter the obstacles or risks involved, we’re coming to get you. The dollar amount to do so does not matter, equipment can be replaced, political capital is irrelevant, but the unwavering belief that the country is coming for you is priceless. We will either bring you home or die together & if you can’t understand the logic of that statement then you can’t understand the ethos of the American war fighter.

To be very clear, I’m very much in favor of major NATO reforms, specifically on member nations & spending. NATO as is has flaws, but the logic & strategic importance is still viable nonetheless. With that said, the case to be made as to why our current reaction to European NATO countries in regard to the Iran conflict is shortsighted & counterintuitive to our interests isn’t hard to make. The case: Last year President Trump rightfully made it clear that it’s time for the European NATO nations to take the lead on all aspects of defense in relation to Europe. He stated that the U.S. will no longer prioritize Europe’s defense, that we’ll be focused on our interests & our hemisphere & not being the collective defense of everyone else. There wasn’t anyone on our side of the political aisle that didn’t agree with the logic, we would focus on our backyard & Europe would focus on theirs, the alliance would thrive as a whole when the individual parts all thrived independently. We’re now roughly 12 months from when those statements were made, & we’re again carrying out operations in the Middle East which as you may know is not in our hemisphere. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in support of taking out the Iranian regime, destroying their pursuit of nuclear weapons, stopping the funding of terrorism, & the general issues they cause. It’s how we went about it & how we’re reacting that I think is ridiculous. There’s plenty of cases to be made as to why Iran posed a credible threat, I personally don’t think any of them were imminent by definition tho. President Trump decided to not make a case to NATO, he absolutely could have used Article 4 which applies to security threats in any part of the world, including territories overseas & **consulted** with NATO countries. He didn’t for reasons I’m sure he had & that’s fine, but in doing so he made it OUR play, a play we’re not alone in since Israel & the Gulf Nations are involved. Let’s be clear: -It was our choice to engage Iran -It was our choice to not include NATO -It was our choice to tell European NATO countries to focus & prioritize Europe’s defense. We didn’t bring them to the party, & now we’re acting outraged because they don’t want to dance. WE told them to focus on Europe’s defense, WE told them that they had to prioritize their backyards, & now that they are we’re acting baffled. We can’t float the excuse that “Iran posses a threat to Europe too” since we didn’t think it was enough of a threat to bring them in from the start, it was our choice. Again, there’s issues with NATO members, it’s not perfect, & some of the petty responses are painfully stupid, but they shouldn’t matter. We shouldn’t want them involved, they’re doing what we said they should & by trying to force them into this fight will just cause them to deplete their stocks of munitions, they’ll no longer buy weapons for Ukraine which will benefit Russia, & it will place them right back under our defense umbrella. No one benefits from Iran’s regime being dismantled & the SOH open more than Israel & the Gulf states, the incredibly wealthy Gulf States. Instead of crying that NATO is doing as we asked, we should be portraying our strength on our Gulf allies to step up. It’s insane how willing we are to big brother European NATO countries, but not the Gulf ones. The Gulf states don’t have the physical resources to go about it on their own, but they do have the financial ones & they could bankroll us for our services. They could replenish our stocks, they can buy more weapons, they could take a bigger role in the conflict that’s IN THEIR BACKYARD. We told Europe to focus on their backyard, & they’re doing so. We said that we were going to focus on our backyard, & we kinda did & are, but for some reason we’re unwilling to tell our Gulf allies that it’s time they focus on theirs.

One thing that’s entirely clear is that this platform has an astonishing amount of absolute morons that cosplay as intellectuals and/or experts.
