Linda Goudsmit: President Donald J. Trump is a brilliant businessman who understands that economic wars are won and lost without bullets. The problem is that our America 1st president assumes that ideological wars can be won and lost with economics––it is a fatal mistake. President Trump is making the same mistake in his trade deals in the Middle East with Muslim nations, that Nixon/Kissinger made in opening trade with Communist China in 1971. Americanism is associated with the colors red, white, and blue. Communism is associated with the color red, and Islam with the color green. The red/green ideologies are existential enemies of the red, white, and blue. Any short term red/green trade deals are just pauses in the ideological wars against the red, white, and blue. Why is this true? Because the red and green ideologies are long-term, binary, socio-political, supremacist, expansionist world views that fully intend to rule the entire planet. What about the western globalist elite? The western globalist elite are the most dangerous existential enemies of Americanism and our constitutional republic. Globalism is the third binary socio-political ideology of rulers and ruled that seeks the destruction of all nation-states, and our constitutional republic in particular. Americanism, with its upward mobility and middle class, is the exception to the binary red/green and globalist totalitarian political ideologies. President Donald Trump and MAGA republicans are committed to the preservation and protection of Americanism and freedom in our constitutional republic––they courageously stand against servitude in the globalist Unistate, the Communist Unistate, or the Islamic Unistate.

Iran does not want “peace.” Iran wants victory. Why don’t we? The only “peace” Iran is interested in is one strictly on its terms. With nuclear weapons, there will be “peace,” all right — the Iranian regime’s survival, power and domination — that kind of peace.

- Iran knows exactly what it is doing. It is playing a game it has mastered for decades: stall, confuse, buy time, bring in the well-intentioned but toothless International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). All the regime needs to win the negotiations is to entrench enforceability and retain the ability to work in secret down the pike.
- Iran could, at any moment, declare itself part of the nuclear weapons club. The mullahs could also negotiate a deal that grants them partial sanctions relief, re-entry into the global financial system, and access to international trade — all while keeping key parts of their nuclear program intact.
- Giving Iran any daylight to enrichment is not diplomacy — it is surrender.
- US President Donald Trump seems shocked that he is being duped by the superstar of KGB (now the FSB) whose entire purpose is to dupe Americans and the West: You mean he is not really my good friend Volodya? Russian President Vladimir Putin has not gone crazy; we were crazy for believing him. The same holds true for Communist China’s President Xi Jinping.
- Iran does not want “peace.” Iran wants victory. Why don’t we? The only “peace” Iran is interested in is one strictly on its terms. With nuclear weapons, there will be “peace,” all right — the Iranian regime’s survival, power and domination — that kind of peace.
- Meanwhile, Trump’s “deadlines” with Hamas and Iran have come and gone, thoroughly eroding his credibility with Putin, Xi, Kim, NATO and everyone else. There have been no consequences, no accountability and no results.
- This is not about compromise or Munich 2.0. This is about survival. Ours, not theirs. Stop being played.
Once again, the United States has sat down with Iran for yet another round of nuclear negotiations — this time the fifth. And once again, we are told that there will be another round in the “near future.” Sound familiar? It should. Iran’s cat-and-mouse diplomatic theater is not a breakthrough; it is a rerun. Just as the past rounds, this latest episode concluded without any meaningful agreement, while Iran continues to advance in its nuclear program, intercontinental ballistic missiles — not needed to attack Israel — and rebuild its air defense.
