Trump's Golden Age Of America?
"Can America Win This War?"
America is at War! President Trump said so. Furthermore, in the first
9 days the American military smashed over 3,000 targets in Iran.
Over 1,500 Iranians have been killed so far.
Any simpleton can see America is at War. Yet Republican congressmen
keep "snowing the Public" saying "This is not a War!"
For instance, House Speaker Mike Johnson keeps saying that it's
just an "Operation." He's being "a chicken shit." He knows
that if he calls it a War (which it is), he'll have to answer as to
"Why Congress hasn't approved it as demanded by the Constitution?"

I'd like to see him go to downtown Tehran and tell the Iranians
"We are not at War!' (That will never happen.)
For those who are sane and agree with President Trump and me, I think
it is fair to ask: "Can America Win This War?"
President Trump has said that this War cannot end without Iran's
"Unconditional Surrender" and he wants to be involved in
picking their next Leader. His Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said
President Trump will determine when Iran has surrendered! ("Wow!")
Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran's President has loudly shouted-
"WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!"
What do I think? Well bear with me and I'll tell you why I think:
"This is an UNWINABLE WAR! Currently, the United States and Israel
are clearly winning. HOWEVER, NEITHER OF THOSE NATIONS CAN
WIN THIS WAR OVER THE LONG ARC OF FUTURE HISTORY.

Allow me to tell you how I formed that opinion (and that's all it is).
Two very important factors are at play and must be considered.
Factor #1. Iran is a Theocracy!
Theocracy (noun) is a system of government in which priests rule in
the name of God or a god.

In Iran's instance, the Government is overseen by a "Supreme High
Priest Leader called an Ayatollah."
His views are considered
to be "Divine" as he is Allah's representative on Earth of the
Quran Muslim text.
On the first day of this recent War chapter, Israeli bombs killed
Iran's Ayatollah. His son has been chosen to take his place. President
Trump
says this leader is "a flyweight and unacceptable."
Until 1979 Iran was a Monarchy. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was the
Monarch and held the title "Shah of Iran." He ruled that nation
from 1941 to 1979. He was a good friend of America and Israel.
He was also very cruel and his military killed 4,000 protesters in 1978.
In 1979 he had to flee Iran when millions of protesters
came to oust him. They replaced him with Ayatollah Khomeini.
The Ayatollahs" as leaders have been smart, and possibly paranoid.
They've shielded themselves with Islamic Revolutionary Guards who have
been "hand-picked" and who are religiously devoted to protecting
the Ayatollah and his regime. Today they number about 190,000.
Iran also has 610,000 active-duty military personnel.
"Believe it or not Ripley," America is now in "A Religious War."           Continued
