The US bombs Iran taking out three strategic nuclear facilities. President Trump addressed the nation Saturday night.
The media is reporting that six 30,000 lb. massive ordinance penetrators (MOPs) were dropped by B-2 stealth bombers on the Fordow facility, and 30 submarine-fired Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles targeting Iran’s Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.
I have conflicting thoughts about the administration’s action. The anti -RINO /Democrat part of me doesn’t want the United States engulfed in another endless war in the Middle East, even for Israel. Yet ,the patriot part of me believes Trump’s order will have ramifications beyond Iran.
President Trump has said for years Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb due to the country’s reputation as the number one state sponsor of terrorism. Giving this order not only has Iranian leaders fearing for their lives, but will also put fear in the hearts of worldwide bad actors. They have to be thinking this guy is f’n crazy enough to back up his rhetoric.
The last time our enemies feared an American president to this degree was Ronald Reagan. And when I say enemies, I don’t mean strictly foreign. We’ll see what effect this has on the likes of Antifa and other domestic terrorists.
Will Iran retaliate ? Do they even have the means to retaliate? How will China react? President Trump reached out to Russian President, Vladimir Putin earlier this week : I assume to signal his intentions. Will Russian condemn Trump’s decision? I suspect we’ll have these questions answered in upcoming weeks and. months. .
I’m giving Trump the benefit of the doubt for this one and I am speaking as someone who cannot stand neocons such as Senator Lindsey Graham and the Bushes. Look around and think about what is missing. There have been no false flag operations prior to these American bombings.
Historically, the prelude to US involvement to war has , in many instances, involved some an attack against the US that galvanized the public, such as the bombing of the Maine prior to the Spanish-American War, the attack on Pearl Harbor , the Gulf of Tonkin incident and even , as some have speculated, 9-11.
There have been no such incidents involving US interests. This tells me Trump is doing what he believes is best for the country, rather than pleasing the military industrial complex.
That’s my gut . If I am proven wrong, I will be the first to admit it. In the meantime, pray for President Trump and America. The US bombs Iran: will this military action bring Iran to negotiations or is this the beginning of something worse?
