In the last 72 hours, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran when negotiations between Washington and Tehran were still ongoing.
Iran was caught off-guard. But Iran recovered more quickly from its Pearl Harbor moment than Israel expected.
In less than 18 hours after Israel’s surprise attack, Iran responded firing hundreds of ballistic missiles including hypersonic missiles into central Tel Aviv and across Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington.
At the same time, Russia, China, Pakistan and most of the Muslim World are rallying to Iran’s defense.
Supplies, equipment and technical assistance are pouring into Iran.
It’s time for a reality check:
Washington burned through $12 trillion in the Middle East since 2003. Result? 7,000 dead Americans. 50,000 wounded, open borders and 100,000 Americans dying yearly from Fentanyl poisoning.
Today, the United States is $37 trillion in debt, a sum that does not include so-called “agency debt.” 77 million Americans voted for President Trump because he promised to end the overseas conflicts and halt the march to WW3.
Trump’s mandate is unchanged: Secure America’s borders, ports and coastal waters. Deport illegal aliens, crush the criminals r-ping and murdering Americans. Restore the rule of law. But not one more drop of American blood for foreign wars.
One Israeli strike on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's oil exports flow—or Bandar Abbas terminals, and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of global oil supply.
That means disrupted supply chains and runaway inflation. Gas hits $7/gallon overnight. Every working family crushed. Truckers can't deliver food. Economy crashes. For what? So Israel that started this insane war can drag Americans into a wider regional conflict with the potential for nuclear war?
We have 40,000 troops in UAE, Qatar, across the Persian Gulf. They are sitting ducks. Iranian Shahed-136 Drones cost $20,000 each. American Patriot Missiles cost $4 million per interceptor.
Do the math. We will run through our inventory of missiles and go broke while Americans come home in boxes.
The Middle East is on the brink. Here's what Washington must do to defuse conflict:
1. Ask for an Emergency UN Security Council meeting. Ask for an Immediate ceasefire making it clear that Washington opposes the destruction of Iran, Israel and any other state in the Middle East.
2. Demand that Israel stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and withdraw its forces from Gaza and the West Bank.
3. Suspend all military aid to Israel until Israel agrees to remove its troops from Gaza and permit humanitarian assistance to reach the people of Gaza.
4. Propose the commitment of Armed Forces from non-aligned nations to police Gaza and the West Bank. 5. Propose that the United States, Russia, China, India and Brazil convene a peace conference to arbitrate the dispute between Israel, Iran and Israel’s neighbors.
I led American Soldiers under fire into action. I've seen plenty of flag-draped coffins. I don’t want to see any more. Washington’s warmongers had 22 years. They failed. They lied.
They profited while America bled. Time's up.
America First means AMERICA FIRST. Not Israel first. Not Ukraine first. Not NATO first. AMERICA FIRST.
1/2 Sham "trial", show of complete disregard of any norms in Baku against #Armenia|n civilian, 68-year-old resident of #NagornoKarabakh who under @ICRC protection was being transported to🇦🇲 for heart surgery &was abducted at illegal checkpoint weeks before ethnic cleansing in NK.
For those "Christians"and so called “activists” where were you when Israel killed Palestinian Christian American Journalist Shireen Abu
Akleh last year?
The Israeli forces targeted her last year and killed her. After killing her they couldn’t even respect her funeral. At her funeral Israeli forces are seen beating a crowd of mourners carrying her casket in the Old City of East Jerusalem.
Where were you Christians and activists then? Why were you silent when a fellow Christian and human being was targeted simply because she was doing her iob and was Palestinian?
In the last year alone, I've seen death, I've seen war, I've seen blockade — but I refuse for even one second to consider myself a victim.
I refuse to buy into the idea that bad things happen to us which we have no control over. I refuse to believe that we are a helpless people. We can be strong, we can survive, we can create a new and better Armenia.
So here's to the people who will dig deeper, push harder, climb higher, and do what it takes to build this ideal nation, and keep it running. The people who understand the simple, undeniable truth — that no matter what the question, the obstacle, or the challenge — there is only one answer:
Let's do the work.
The fight for the soul of our nation, of who we are, and where we are going — is now.
Armenians: ARTSAKH ARMENIANS ARE GETTING KILLED.
International Community: (silent)
Kurds: ROJAVA KURDS ARE GETTING KILLED
International Community: (silent)
Israelis: Hamas attacking us!
International Community: WAR ON TERRORISTS
What's happening in 🇮🇱 reminds me of what happened in NK recently. Just world media didn't cover it like this 24/7.
I assure you, the sound of rocket explosions is very loud, scary...
Let no one see war.
I took this video from Stepanakert cemetery, September 19.
120,000 Armenian Christians were driven from their homeland after being slaughtered by drones sold to their attackers and there was about 0 interest from conservatives and “Evangelical Christians.” This is why I don’t take you people seriously.
As #Hamas and #Israel are engaged in a new conflict let's not forget that Azerbaijan is still holding Armenian hostages from Artsakh. Azerbaijan has a history of committing war crimes, human rights abuses and murdering dissidents. Remember these names:
"The US didn't simply turn a blind eye to Azerbaijan’s attempts to impose its will on the Armenian people through starvation and force—it repeatedly emboldened and legitimized Azerbaijan's coercive diplomacy by refusing to hold Azerbaijan accountable" https://t.co/F6Y8RrJmhw
