There are moments in history when the world needs more than a diplomat. It needs a man of action. A commander. A decider. A leader. This week, when Iran escalated the war with Israel, the rest of the globe issued statements and expressed “grave concern.” President Donald J. Trump left the G7 Summit early, stepped on Air Force One, and went home to get to work.
That’s the difference.
While the international elites clinked wine glasses and crafted nonbinding resolutions, President Trump did what he always does: led.
This was not a war he asked for. It wasn’t one he provoked. But it was one that carried consequences far beyond the Middle East—and President Trump understood that. Iran’s sustained campaign of terror, its deep-pocketed funding of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and its nuclear ambitions have long threatened not only Israel’s existence, but the global order itself. There is no stability in Europe or Asia if Tehran becomes a nuclear power. Period.

The big tamale is always China. The entire geopolitical chessboard—from oil prices to Pacific shipping lanes—comes down to whether or not Beijing believes the United States is serious about protecting freedom. Taking Iran’s nukes off the table sends exactly the right message: poke the eagle and you get the talon.
EXCELLENT!
AMEN!!
And also, the TALENT!
Iran needs a reckoning. We knew this in the 80s
If not him who? When? We keep sending more money and beg them to stop?
Bigger fish to fry.

WHY wasn’t 0bama AND ALL OF CONGRESS brought up on TREASON charges for their actions? Man, this STILL sticks in my craw!
US sent plane with $400 million in cash to Iran
“The Obama administration secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash on the same day Iran released four American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal, US officials confirmed Wednesday.
President Barack Obama approved the $400 million transfer, which he had announced in January as part of the Iran nuclear deal. The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.”
From CNN of all places!

LOVE IT!
That’s why I voted for him. Godspeed, Mr. President!
Either way, a Chinese amphibious invasion would be a disaster. The Russian, Ukranian and Israeli use of drones give a weaker military an excellent ambush weapon. Amphibious ships loaded with fuel and munitions would be meat on the table.
The 80s. I’m still waiting for revenge for the arrogant Iranians carrying out the garbage in an American flag during the long hostage situation at the US Embassy.
One guy “associated with” the setup of the kidnappings of the Americans was killed in the early days of this crisis.
Iran has never been fully held to account for what they did.
That's a fact not in dispute.
Rare window of opportunity. I think he sends the planes
Leaving the G7 and return to the WH was the right decision. Canceling the speech tonight is unusual for the President. Trump prefers to keep the people informed.
Is there another reason why the WH called a lid? Is Trump in the WH or at a more secure location?
Iran reminds me of Baghdad Bob. If their lips are moving they are lying. However Iran is lead by messianic folks who believe they go straight to Allah if they kill the infidel. They have ballistic missiles, rumored enough nuclear material to build a nuke and are cornered. Top all that with sleeper cells let in by Biden.
I’m going over my gear and filling the cars and cans with fuel.
A little history refresher ...
Aint got time for any Dog and Pony shows!
BUMP!
Our society and culture have become a dog and pony show - except it's more like a 'Look at me!' show.
I think he left the Summit for the same reason he left Ivana.
The Summit and Ivana wanted to party. He wanted to work.
