As he did with Iran, President Donald Trump should demand the Democratic Party’s total capitulation.
This is because, in a symbolic sense, he has destroyed the Democrats, just as he destroyed the Iranian nuclear-armed bullies and their scheme to first destroy Israel and then the United States.
You need to reconsider if you believed that the Democratic Party and its leaders had reached their lowest point by protecting illegal immigrants—including the dangerous criminals who are among them—from deportation.
The arrest and expulsion of countless numbers of unscreened illegal immigrants from Iran who entered the country through Joe Biden’s open borders will likely spark protests among Democrats in the near future.
Were they there to establish sleeper cells or to look for employment?
Given that Trump is willing to perform the world a long-overdue service by eliminating the Iranian leaders off the map, even in the face of a cease-fire, it’s possible that these dormant cells are ready to spring alive.
No matter what arrangement they make, you can be sure that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the mullahs will cheat, as they have done in the past.
It would not take long to destroy what remains of Iran nevertheless, judging by the spectacular success of the unique and unnoticed B-52 bunker busting operation on the nation’s nuclear facilities.
In the meantime, the Democrats doubled down on their ignorance and criticized Trump for destroying or at least impeding Iran’s ability to finish building and delivering nuclear weapons.
Nearly as many Americans have been slain by Iran’s militant Islamic terrorist government, which has been waging war and terror against the United States for more than 40 years, as by the Japanese during their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which sparked a war with Japan. On that day, about 2,335 American troops and sailors lost their lives.
After defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War II, the United States and the Allies demanded an unconditional surrender, which both nations complied with. This implied that the United States and the Allies established the conditions for peace, which they actually accomplished.
The president has never called for or even discussed unconditional surrender in any other conflict since then, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the two Gulf Wars, or any other conflict in which the United States has since intervened.
So far.
It will happen even though we may not demand that Khamenei and the religious zealots who have incited terror around the world be overthrown and the system changed.
As was the case with Germany and Japan after their unconditional surrender in World War II, unconditional surrender means that the victor determines who will govern the vanquished country after the conflict. Both nations saw a change of government. Otherwise, nothing is altered.
But in one swift move, Trump prevented a nuclear Armageddon from destroying not just Israel and the Middle East, but also perhaps western civilization. There has never been a military event like it.
The world took notice of the unusual mission, including Russia, which is mired in a stalemate reminiscent of World War I in Ukraine, and China, which may now reconsider its invasion of Taiwan.
Additionally, Trump was quite unambiguous in contrast to the shameful obfuscation and doubletalk that previous presidents Barack Obama, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Antony Blinken shown toward Iran and its nuclear program.
“It’s really easy,” Trump stated. Iran is not allowed to possess nuclear weapons.
Although other countries are capable of producing nuclear weapons, Iran is the only one that has publicly threatened to use a nuclear weapon against its adversaries, Israel and the United States.
Iran’s vile religious fanatics have been threatening to kill both for nearly 50 years, and they will do so for another 50 if they are permitted to.
Thus, the Khamenei and the others need to go.
Otherwise, it will all be for nothing and there won’t be an unconditional surrender.
