For the past few days, the lefty media and the anti-war libertarians have been screaming that killing a terrorist leader who had organized an attack on our embassy would lead to catastrophic war and death.
Instead, Iran fired rockets in such a way as to put on a show, without killing any Americans.
Who could have predicted that? Well, anyone reading The Point. Also anyone who knows anything about Iran and the region. As I pointed out in yesterday’s article…
“More relevantly, what “massive regional war?”
The last time the United States openly fought Iran in 1988, after the attack on the USS Samuel B. Roberts, the sacred terrorists of the Islamic revolution were beaten up and down like a rented mule.
A regional war between Iran and America has been underway ever since their attack on our embassy. The only way that there will be a massive regional war is if the United States decides to fight one.
Iran has chosen to fight a low and dirty war because it stands no chance in an actual fight.
President Trump decided to call Iran’s bluff and show that its aspirations to be a regional superpower consist of the same tired trick of providing weapons to terrorists in other countries as its Sunni rivals.”
There will be an actual retaliation. And it will consist of the same stuff that Iran is already doing, using Soleimani’s terrorist proxies to carry out attacks on American forces and facilities. I wouldn’t be surprised if they once again target the embassy in Baghdad or hit a visiting dignitary.
The problem with calling this retaliation is that this is what Iran was doing anyway.
But the question is will the anti-war lefties and libertarians who, just yesterday, were predicting a massive catastrophic war, Iraq War III (I think we’re on III by now), that Trump had driven us into, apologize and retract their nonsense? Or will they go on spinning conspiracy theories while covering for Islamic terrorists?
Will the same commentators and experts, news networks and pundits, who were repeating Iranian propaganda and blaming the Jews, while warning that we’re all about to die, apologize?
The answer is obvious. But it’s up to the people to call out their nonsense and hold them accountable.
