- Despite
encouraging Iran's protesters to carry on and assuring them that American
"help is on its way," Trump has done nothing to compel the
regime to permanently stop the killing or its other atrocities.
- The
question becomes: Is Trump actually going to leave these psychopaths in
power and effectively thwart the brave, unarmed Iranians from ridding
themselves of an armed government that has been suppressing, torturing and
slaughtering them in the streets over the past 47 years?
- For
reasons that are entirely unclear, Trump already has a history,
unfortunately, of rescuing the Iranian regime -- called by the US State
Department 39 years in a row, since 1984 the world's leading state sponsor
of terrorism.
- Trump
first said he did not want regime change in Iran; then posted that he might
want regime change if it could "Make Iran Great Again: MIGA!!!",
before turning around, yet again, and reimposing the ceasefire. Trump also
seems constantly to be "forgetting" that Iran has been attacking
the US since 1979...
- Every
US adversary -- from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Chinese President
Xi Jinping -- can now assume that the Trump administration, while giving
diplomacy so much of a chance that it is effectively no help at all, is
primarily just huffing and puffing, while every US ally can now assume
that the US no longer can be trusted.
- The
Trump administration's dawdling appears virtually the same as that of
President Joe Biden.... Such acoustics with no follow-up destroy US
deterrence and paint the Trump administration as weak and dithering at a
time when the future of American preeminence is at stake. That is a
terrible look.
