Trump hits a homer; and by the way I was right :)

This morning before Trump's talk I posted an article speculating that the missile strike was nothing more than a face saving gesture designed to placate Khamenei's internal opponents, and public opinion in Iran, and not actually kill any Americans.

Looks like I was right.  Don't tell my wife; she'd never believe it. :)

But the real news is that Trump also did what I predicted; because no Americans were killed, which is his red line, there was no military retaliation.  So just like that all the fear mongering Democrats who clearly love Iran more than Trump looked like fools.

You can still hear the Democrats and #FakeNews media folk who were huffing and puffing to inflate the "Trump is an insane warmongering dude" ballon howling because Trump put a pin to that monstrosity.

Trump has once again proven that he's not interested in using US military force and killing people, even non-Americans, unless Americans have been killed.  We can't know but perhaps that's why he, at the last minute, canceled strikes on Iranian targets in retaliation for their shooting down our drone; he didn't want to kill Iranians unless Iranians had killed Americans.

Contrary to all the lies the #FakeNews media and the Democrats, the same folks who were all copasetic with Obama waging war on Libya and who wanted Trump to start a war with Turkey to protect Kurds, have been telling Trump has shown not one jot of interest in starting a war.

What they have condemned Trump for is being what an American President should be; "No better friend, no worse enemy".  That's what America is. Germany and Japan found that out. As our enemies we crushed them and destroyed their countries. As our friends we rebuilt them and stood shoulder to shoulder with them against Soviet and Chinese imperialism.

That's what Trump said in his speech. He told Iran that if they continue to attack us they will regret the price they will inevitably pay. But if they renounce not Islam, not theocracy, but just imperialism then we will work with them to make Iran prosperous.

Trump made it clear he's not interested in replacing the theocracy, though should internal opposition get strong enough hopefully Trump will supply at least covert aid, he's only in that theocracy stopping its efforts to forcibly convert the world to their flavor of Islam using terrorism.

Now that's an America first foreign policy that isn't isolationist, he's not ignoring threats to the US just because they're far away, but it's also not using American soldiers and taxpayer dollars to fix other people's problems that aren't impacting Americans.

In doing so he's reflecting what Americans think.  Before WWII Americans really really didn't want to get involved in another European war. But once the Japanese attacked us Americans showed the world that attacking us is not a wise move.

Similarly today Americans aren't interested in fixing the problems in the Middle East which are mostly due to Islam.  If they want to kill each other let them.  The only reason Americans care is because Christians are being killed and because we don't want to see another Holocaust which everyone who is sane knows is what will happen if the Muslims overrun Israel.

Trump is the first American president in a very long time. That is he's the first president who put's what's best for America first not what's best for the "global order" first.

Contrary to what the Deep State thinks Americans in general don't want to be the worlds police; we don't want to pay the bills for defending Europe so that Europeans can get 6 week vacations each summer for example.

The Democrats embrace of Iran another attacks on Trump are hopefully going to cost them.  They shone a spotlight on Trump and instead of acting nuts or pushing for another endless war he did the smart and right thing. Thanks to the Democrats and the #FakeNews media Americans now know who is on their side.
