Donald Trump, TACO, appears again

Unfortunately, Donald Trump is no President Reagan or Lady Thatcher. While I agree with his economic and homeland security policies, I've never been a fan of his national security policies. For instance, Russia's war with Ukraine continues with no end in sight. Our was with Iran continues with no end in sight. In both instances, all I see are endless negotiations. I get it that we don't want endless wars. Still, what's the upside of endless negotiations? High gas prices for longer times isn't an upside. No certainty in the world's most volatile region isn't an upside, either.

When asked by a reporter what his strategy was towards the Soviets, President Reagan replied "Simple. We win. They lose." President Reagan understood that there'd be a time for negotiations. President Reagan also understood that he wouldn't negotiate with Gorbachev until he'd scared the daylights out of Gorbachev. You can't scare the daylights out of the IRGC. They're messianic. They dream of meeting their 72 virgins.

According to this Fox News article, "President Donald Trump announced on Saturday an agreement has been 'largely negotiated' with Iran and several allied nations, signaling a nearing end to the controversial 84-day war." TRANSLATION: More Trump happy talk. When will Iran surrender their enriched uranium? When will the IRGC surrender? Without those questions answered, we're nowhere. I don't care about progress reports on these endless negotiations. Tell me when the IRGC have surrendered or been killed. Without that, we're nowhere.

I'll be clear. I HOPE I'm wrong. It's just that I've seen the IRGC play President Trump for the fool too often. I'll believe it when the last I is dotted and the last T is crossed on the surrender/exile agreement is finished. Until then, I'll be skeptical of President Trump.

  1. Given that they are still negotiating (according to SOS Rubio), how can you claim he caved?
