Opinion: The Price of Gas or the Price of Freedom?  

I read with great interest Dr. Marc Weisman’s astute analysis located in the above link which appeared in the October 29, 2026 edition of the Washington Jewish Week

His analogy of the megalomaniacal, supremacist, genocidal Jew-hating mullahs intent on world conquest with the foes we faced in Nazi Germany, and to a somewhat lesser extent Imperial Japan was spot on.

The difference, as he points out, was that we had a true wartime leader who, faced with similar, if not greater, opposition on the home front to end that costly war as soon as possible (the price of fuel and practically everything else surged then as well), President Harry S. Truman stayed the course, finally achieved unconditional surrender and total victory—things President Trump first hinted he’d do, but wound up settling for something far less…

The Difference Two Letters in an American Leader Make.

So, unfortunately, while millions of Germans and Japanese people became free and have thriving democracies today, threaten no one, and are great friends and allies of America, Iran’s roughly 100 million people will remain under constant threat of slaughter if they strive for the same freedoms Germans and Japanese now have achieved, largely due to America, but also with some Allies’ help.

Simply put, aiming for a no-nuke Iran, as Trump keeps repeating, is important, but was not only what this current conflagration was supposed to be all about. Not to mention that poison gas canisters fitted atop ballistic missile warheads are also weapons of mass destruction.

Over 100,000 innocent Iranian civilians had been slaughtered by the mullahs and their IRGC and Basij military support system.

In WWII, it took more than air and naval power to achieve our final goals. But that’s all Trump has been willing to commit—and that’s obviously not sufficient.

In the modern era, General Colin Powell understood this as well when he developed his doctrine for swift, overwhelming force, utilizing as many branches of the military as necessary, to achieve victory in the wars against Saddam several decades ago.

If we did not plan on achieving total victory and would be content with the genocidal mullahs remaining in power to continue to accumulate thousands of powerful ballistic missiles, drones, other advanced weapons systems, etc., then we should have never got involved in the first place (though I do believe this was truly a “just war”). Another Viet Nam or Afghanistan was not a good choice.

As Dr. Weisman correctly points out, what lessons do our main adversaries get when they see American resolve folding under economic pressure and domestic division?

While he notes that Iran of the mullahs (who hijacked Aryan Iran’s history and despise its proud, more tolerant Zoroastrian, pre-Islamic past, which found it allied for centuries with the Jews of Judaea) may not be exactly Nazi Germany, he also correctly observes that in some ways it and its proxies are worse.

Paraphrasing him…

“Unlike Nazi Germany which could be militarily defeated and its government overthrown, Iran of the mullahs and its fellow genocidal proxies in Hamas, Hizbulah, and so forth have a fanatical, supremacist, unending goal of world conquest even if it means martyrdom.”

In ARABISM’S and its related non-Arab, but Arabized Islamists’s mindsets (think Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Taliban in Afghanistan, etc.), ever since its jihadi conquests of hundreds of millions of other non-Arab peoples’s ancestral homelands from the 7th century C.E., onwards, the entire area of MENA and adjacent lands in sub-Saharan black Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and elsewhere simply became “purely Arab patrimony,’ forever part of an ever expanding Dar ul-Islam…and to hell with anyone else’s indigenous, ancestral rights.

Worse yet, most of the ignorant world buys into this hegemonic claptrap.

For them, such idiots as Macklemore and Hasan Piker are their educators…

Macklemore’s ‘Free Palestine,’ Part II: Why this subject is so important…

In short, as can be seen with Hamas’s recurrent use of its own people as human shields, its pledged goal to continue to commit butchery and atrocities against Jews, and Iran’s willingness to sacrifice as many of its own people as well, as long as the mullahs retain power, such Sunni Arab and Shi’a Iranian enemies will be harder to deal with…

Hello Hasan Piker, Permit Me To Introduce Myself..

This doesn’t mean, however, that we should not have aimed for total victory and unconditional surrender…even if we didn’t totally achieve it. Not all Nazis were killed at the end of WWII.

Unconditional Surrender & Total Victory

While this war is not WWII, we still needed to hunt down, seek, and destroy as much of the IRGC and Basij counterparts to the Waffen SS Stormtroopers, Gestapo, and so forth as possible. They are undoubtedly the world’s key sponsor of terrorism.
That would have given the masses of Iranian people the courage and confidence to rise up once again, knowing that America was truly there to assist if necessary (and Israel as well). Unfortunately, President Obama abandoned them in 2009, and our current leader fell far short as well.

War crime trials should have been conducted together with a demand or reparations, paid for with Iranian oil. In many wars, the loser must pay the price for his aggression—often in territorial losses.

The problem is that Trump didn’t attain victory…but could have. For sure.
What was lacking was resolve, for whatever reasons. Midterm elections, gas and milk prices, and so forth. Once again, Truman also faces such challenges on the home front.

Too many other distractions (billions of dollars in family and friends’ business interests in collaboration with black African and Asian slaving Arab oil potentates, etc.), forcing Israel to prematurely end fighting with Hamas by forcing a one-sided hudna ceasefire on it, haulting the all important momentum every military seeks to achieve, but in perhaps the worse type of warfare possible—urban, with civilians tightly packed together…

The Momentum In War, President Trump, & forcing Israel to Relinquish this Important Military Advantage…

Trump succumbed (with not much opposition) to his blatantly anti-Israel, anti-Kurd, pro-Hamas Turk and Qatari Arab buddies’ wishes. Keep in mind, however, that most of Israel’s population is also squeezed into its ultra-vulnerable 9-15 mile wide waist, comparable to Gaza.

With the President seeing his party trounced in the Midterms, any thought of following through to achieve what Truman did is now probably non-existent.

As further retribution for a half century of murder and terror emanating from Tehran, strategic territories in the region needed to be permanently lost to the mullahs—islands near the Strait of Hormuz to establish bases, and so forth.

I voted for The Donald twice as a NPA Independent, with reservations, so am not anti-MAGA.
Perplexing, given the headaches the Houthis are now causing, on another important strategic matter in the region, he still hasn’t granted recognition to the new independent black African Muslim nation of Somaliland—which sits adjacent to the Horn of Africa right across from the Houthis in Yemen… Who’s advising him
American bases there would be closer than in Qatar.
What an amazing site for a new naval base Somaliland would be if these folks agree. Of course they’d also be putting their own nation at risk.
They actually like America, and unlike Qatar, which sees such black people as “‘abid”—slaves—and regard Americans as lowly kafir infidels (even the rich ones) eventually to be conquered one way or another…”Sudan: The Story Within The Story”

Sudan-The Story Within the Story

Somaliland should be quickly recognized by Washington. Qatar and Saudi Arabia “like” America because it’s better for American blood and treasure to be expended to protect them than their own military—and they get all sorts of goodies from us too.

When the Saudis got shipments of sophisticated aircraft, they habitually stationed them a short distance flight time from Tel Aviv rather than on the Persian/Arabian Gulf across from the mullahs… Get the picture?

Somaliland is light years different from the intolerant jihadis in Somalia, too many of whom are giving America so many problems today right on our own soil. So far, the “apartheid” state of the Jews is the only one in the world to grant recognition to this new nation.

Somaliland & Good News From Morocco…

If and when the time ever came when a true democratic republic, or parliamentary democracy—not the farce in the so-called Islamic “Republic” of Iran” now—emerges (or was achieved via American victory in coordination with loyal Persian Artesh military forces whose allegiance before was to the Shah, and perhaps additional support from the Kurds), then such territories could feasibly be returned to Iran. Right now it uses those areas to launch attacks, and threaten international shipping and commerce. Not good.

So, here we are today with Israel fast becoming a pariah and blamed for everything that’s now going wrong—and, besides the Iranian people themselves, it will be the worst victim if the mullahs continue their reign of terror.

Name the problem, as many are correctly opining now, and its the world’s greatest, most ancient, scapegoat and whipping post to blame— “die Juden”…

Midterm Election Results & the Jew Blame Game

The mullahs will have numerous billions of dollars of black gold revenues to fund Arab proxies who, along with their Arabized/Islamized fellow jihadi Iranian puppet masters, will continue to blast and terrorize Israel with at will, and most of the world will be cheering them on.

The future ahead doesn’t look good, for many reasons…especially if an antisemitic isolationist like VP Vance becomes the Republican nominee, best buddies with perhaps the worst antisemite of the new era, Tucker Carlson, whose son he recently employed, and so forth…

JD Vance’s Problems With Non-Suicidal Hebrews

But the other side of this scenario for 2028 is even worse.

The blatantly antisemitic/anti-Zionist Democratic Socialists of America are now in the ascendancy and set to greatly influence the mainstream Democratic Party…

An Open Letter to the Democratic Socialists of America…

And the masses of sheeple grow more willing by the day to once again imbibe the two thousand year old Kool Aide of antisemitism virtually passed on through DNA due to religious indoctrination regarding “god-killing, sons of the devil, poisoners of wells, forever wandering, perfidious” Jews in the West, or “killers of Prophets, sons of apes and pigs, ‘kilab yahud’ Jew dogs in the Muslim East…
Furthermore, too many in the younger generation have been exposed to decades of trillionaire Arab oil potentate-financed higher indoctrination instead of education which has greatly influenced what is taught, what’s on required reading lists, who gets to teach the courses, gets Ph.D. Dissertation Advisors, gains tenure, and so forth.

Guess what happens as a result? Look no further than the ignoramuses rioting, donning Arab keffiyehs on campus and elsewhere today….

‘Stop the genocide’: Tens of thousands rally in Amsterdam to support Palestinians

Ask them if they even know who 43 million truly stateless Kurds and their Yazidi cousins are—I dare you.

Have their professors ever even mentioned these folks, subjected to real genocide—hundreds of thousands gassed and otherwise slaughtered—by mostly Arabs and Turks? No, most certainly haven’t. Does the new, long time antisemitic Nobel Peace Prize winner, Navi Pillay, falsely accusing Israel of every sin under the sun give a rat’s derrière about them?
Ditto regarding such people as another 40 million stateless Amazigh/Kabyle natives in North Africa, persecuted Egyptian Copts, Assyrians, Druze, pre-Arab conquest Lebanese Christians, etc…

Berber Autumn…

If the cause isn’t for Arabs, in any of their various subdivisions, it is usually simply ignored. Almost two dozen states on over six million square miles of territory (including one lopped off of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine in 1922 and known as Jordan today) isn’t enough.
ARABISM leaves no room for anyone else’s justice but its own.

And if the alleged sin or crime ain’t Hebraic in origin, no one cares.

To end these thoughts for now, here’s what could have happened had The Donald achieved what President Truman did by the end of 1945…

America as a new ‘Light Unto The Nations,’ or I hate to say I told you so
