When passivity, appeasement, and "sanctions" have all failed
Trump knows there’s only one thing left to do.
President Trump Vows US Intervention If Iran Kills Peaceful Demonstrators: ‘Locked and Loaded’
President Trump on Friday issued a stark warning to the Iranian regime, vowing U.S. intervention if leaders in the rogue country use lethal force against peaceful protesters. This comes as widespread demonstrations erupt across Iran over economic hardships.“If Iran (shoots) and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue,” the president cautioned. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”
His message marks a sharp escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as protests have already turned deadly. Reports have indicated that at least one protester has been killed. Other as of yet unverified reports indicate more deaths.
Earlier in the week, President Trump did not indicate whether or not he supported regime change in Iran, but did issue a warning that the protests may get worse.
“They’ve got a lot of problems: tremendous inflation, their economy is bust, their economy is no good, and I know people aren’t so happy,” he told reporters.
RedState reporter Nick Arama revealed that the protests in Iran are spreading fast as more and more demonstrators stand up to the brutal regime. But it seems like we’ve seen this play out before. Will these protests mark something that fundamentally alters that nation?
“There have been numerous protests over the years in Iran,” Arama writes, “but there are indications in this one that are giving many great hope, as we enter a new year.”
Opposition to “forever wars” on the basis not of stubborn isolationism but of putting America’s interests above all else is fine and well, of course. But the moment the terrorist financing, equipping, and training Mad Mullah regime goes the way of the dodo, the world will become a far better place.
Take ‘em out, Mr President sir, take ‘em all the way out, by any and every means required to do so. Then bring our boys back home and let Iran find its own way.
