Trump’s Churchillian Decision: Eliminating Iran’s Nuclear Sites Means No One Can Use Them Later

Peloni:  We have all been waiting for the moment that we can all say we are no longer waiting for the moment that this threat to all of Western Society has been neutralized.  That moment is nearly over.

President Donald J. Trump has a problem. If he leaves Iran’s major nuclear research and centrifuge sites, such as the Fordow uranium enrichment plant or Natanz, under their protective mountains, the countless centrifuges sheltered there will remain a permanent temptation — an “attractive nuisance” — for the Iranian regime to resurrect to terrorize its neighbors with again.

What Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appears to want — and what Iran’s regime has said it wants since the Islamic Republic’s founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini put it in 1979 – is:

“We shall export our revolution to the whole world. Until the cry ‘There is no god but God’ resounds over the whole world, there will be struggle.”
— Quoted on p. 42 of Shireen T. Hunter’s The Foreign Policy of Iran: Ideology and Pragmatism (Praeger, 1984).

    The capitalist system is a world system and it encompasses every corner of earth. This was it’s revolutionary origins as expressed by the socialist pioneers in the Communist Manifesto in 1848.

    But by 1860, in 12 years, John Tyndall following on from Joseph Fourier in the 1920s, and Eunice Foote just a few years before, had solved totally the Global Warming and Greenhouse Gas puzzle.

    That, counting from Tyndall’s lectures to the Royal Institute in London, is a full 165 years. And now the urgency of Global Warming of the planet demands the answer

    (This podcast explains that we knew the danger to earth of Global Warming by 1860 with the demonstration in the Royal Institute by John Tyndall…why 165 years later issue firmly stuck… not solved. Source Felix Quigley)

    While donning the reactionary garments of the female oppressing dictatorship of Sharia Law, and of the Imperialist aims of Islam, plus deep hatred of the Jews, the Mullah government of Iran has been totally fascist-capitalist. It’s capitalism based on nothing original…oil drilling and adding to Global Warming of the planet.

    In 1979 the Mullah Sharia regime of Khomeini took control because the workers were betrayed by Stalinism (the Tudeh Party)

    The immediate task is the defeat of the repressive And Jew hating regime. That is primary. The workers must come forward. Socialist revolution is not posed simply because the workers and youth do not possess a party. But at any rate measures must be taken to repress the reactionary Mohammedans in the country forever.

  2. I support Trump because of the badly needed decisions he has made about such matters as illegal immigration and the Democratic Party’s encouragement of it, his steadfast opposition to the “deep state” bureaucracy, judicial overreach, the corruption of Federal elections, the corrupt Biden administration and its corrupt “royal family,” his actions to put a stop to the corrupt USAID program and leftist and/or Islamist “charities” it funded. All these are an impressive list of changes in government policy. However, he is no Churchill. Churchill was resolute and unflinching is his opposition to the Nazi tyranny, while Trump is waffling in his oppostion to the Nazis of the present era, Islamist Iran. He tried for 60 days to make a deal with them. Now he is letting his diplomat-in-chief, Witkoff, to continue negotiating with them. Churchill would never have done that.

    • Negotiations with what’s left of the Iranian leadership may be necessary if regime change doesn’t materialize. The problem is getting what you want at the bargaining table. I put zero faith in Witkoff.

      PS I heartily agree with your assessment of Trump’s policy achievements.

      • RAPHAEL-

        I believe Considering the devastation the present Leadership has led Iran into, that Regime Change is inevitable.

        I feel that The Crown Prince Is already busying himself and supporters to take over, perhaps with a Constitutionsl Royalist Govt, or even stand for election in a republican based intending govt.

        I wrote about this some 10 days ago to no interest, but I feel that the time is on them right .now.

        I can not believe that the People will stand for the obscene, fanatical power drunk Ayatollahs any longer especially since the Revolutionary Guard, their power base, has been largely destroyed-if the reports are accurate.
