Conrad Black says the obvious part out loud in writing…

Trump Will Win the War With Iran

“…There is not the slightest pretense of bipartisan support for the war effort and as the Democrats demanded peace they went on record proclaiming that Iran was not a threat to America, that the United States is losing the war, and had been dragged into a quagmire.

When the negotiations came, they denounced them. The negotiations did not last long. Iran’s failure to concede the verifiable and permanent elimination of its nuclear military program and the abandonment of funding for international terrorism, particularly on the borders of Israel, and end all pretense of controlling the Strait of Hormuz, means the war will be resumed and those goals will swiftly be achieved by the Americans and the Israelis.

At that point all the scaremongering of the Democrats as the “progressives” devour and intimidate whatever is left of moderate Democrats, will be exposed as a fraud. Congressman Ro Khanna’s demand for Mr. Trump’s removal because of mental incompetence and the disintegration of Congressman Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign because of his aggressive womanizing have lowered the farce of the California Democrats to hitherto unexcavated levels.

There is little that the voters of America like better than victory in a “splendid little war” at a low cost (Theodore Roosevelt on the Spanish-American War). This was the story of Presidents Polk in Mexico, McKinley in Cuba and the Philippines, and even, for a time, the Bushes in Iraq. In the aftermath of Iran’s refusal to concede the nuclear and terrorism issues, the United States and its allies will seize Kharg Island, close Iran as tightly by sea as it is by air, strangle it of the ability to support terrorism, and impose a permanent aerial arms embargo on nuclear military development; all at minimal cost to the United States and Israel in the lives of their servicemen…”

The Pope and senior leaders in the Catholic Church have revealed themselves to be part of the Democrat NGO graft machine…

Trump cut off their illegal alien graft and they want the taxpayer money flow turned back on.

All the rest is talking point gibberish for stupid people.

Despicable.

The Catholic Church has disgraced itself again.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

They’re going to host a summit to persevere in the bone-crushing work of preparing a draft plan to theoretically do something when all the danger is over. Oh, and pat themselves on the back for doing something…

 

Compare the mealy-mouth, dish-water utterances of this non-entity to one of the great men of history who was also British:

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Winston S. Churchill

Iran is in over its head and performing badly…

Trump’s Hormuz Trap Snaps Shut: Iran thought it could extort the world. Instead, Trump is turning a closed Strait into leverage, rising U.S. energy exports, and a global reordering

Mister Ultimatum…

I am Mister Ultimatum,
I hand out time with conditions.
Better cooperate or you’ll suffer the demolitions.
If I warn you, it’s for a reason—to make you think.
I’m a compassionate hero, always giving a chance.
Act dumb and it’s ultimatum right here.
Get cocky with me and ultimatum over there.
He who warns doesn’t betray—I offer you options.
If wars break out, it’s your fault—you didn’t choose right.
At the UN, I greet with a theatrical wink.
I hand over my list of conditions on the front page.
The world stands still, waiting for my final signal.
I make a grand gesture and extend the deadline a bit more.

“That Britain no longer exists.” The British have voted themselves into decline and irrelevance…

“Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world’s emergency gas station and China’s cheap energy subsidy evaporated.”

The new Pope seems like a decent guy. He is way out of his league on foreign policy and war. Mouthing meaningless platitudes may feel good, but they have no effect whatsoever…
