UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!

Recalling the recognition of evil which faced the world in WWII, President Trump has finally uttered the words, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, something which led to the reversal of fortune in Germany which followed the victory in that war.  While the policy of denazification following WWII was ultimately left both incomplete and retrograded to suit the shifting trends of emerging geopolitical realities/interests, the demand of an unconditional surrender by the Axis powers represented the fact that the Allies would never negotiate a partial peace or contemplate any ceasefire with its enemies which might leave them with any remnant of authority, dignity or legitimacy. In fact, it would be quite relieving to know that Washington has adopted a similar sense of resolve of the Allied Powers with regards to eradicating the abject evil which has been sheltered in Iran over the past nearly half century, as amusingly announced in this historic short tweet.

Of course, it is sometimes hard to accept by some that such rogues as lead the nation of Iran are in fact the very embodiment of evil, or that their utter destruction is both necessary to the establishment of peace and fair relations around the world.  Importantly, though, as the Pro-Iran talking heads which populate Western media, including those on the right such as Tucker Carlson and his ilk, challenge the reality or relatedness of American interests in opposing these villains, these villains have been contemplating the conquest and subjugation of the entire Western world, of every man, woman and child among us.  Their schemes of targeted attacks on American, Israeli, and Western civilian and military targets over the years make this fact plain as day, even should we ignore their many statements which should add to the evidence of their intentions.

While the West has preferred to sleep, as it did in the road leading to WWII, their own demise is being contemplated, planned and implemented, and there is no limit to the clear evidence that this is so.  Hence, as America has no duty to be the world’s policeman, and it must credit its own national interests as paramount in fashioning its own policies, it can not ignore the threat which would arise from a nuclear terror state which has for too long acted with impunity as it has slaughtered thousands of Americans without cause or pretext, even so recently as on October 7, and even more recently with the vicious execution of the already bound and mutilated American captive, Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

Indeed, the reality spoken by these images of tortured and slaughtered innocents should mold US policy towards securing the future and security of America’s own citizens, and of course, it is reasonable to expect that this is the very reason for Trump having fashioned his policy around his stated rejection of Iran becoming a nuclear state, time and time again.  Yet, up to this point, Trump  has preferred a policy of negotiation to that of punitive military measures, a policy which has failed to imprint any significant change upon the Iranians beyond their willingness to talk about talking some more.  Of course, the building friction between Trump’s demands and the Mullahs obfuscation and intent of their retaining nuclear capacities has been the context thru which Trump’s declaration of UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER was fashioned.
