All true but it is a threatening environment. Mr. Vennaccio mentioned the mid-terms but there is another election next month. The EU is going all out to oust Orban. If they succeed, it will remove our most reliable ally in Europe and also hamper a rapprochement with Russia. Even if they don't succeed, they are working on multiple ways to neuter him. Either way it is a crisis. Other than Hungary only Slovakia is generally positive. The others are all hostile to varying degrees.

Really well written and to the point. Mr. Trump understands the entire picture better than all the so called "professionals". Hopefully the Republicans will maintain control of the House and Senate in the Mid-Terms, otherwise these plans will go up in smoke with all the "investigations"

You laid it out perfectly.

President Trump and millions of Americans do NOT understand Iran. Islam and the underlying Sharia law is a political system of governance for believers. Iran is a theocracy: a form of government where religious leaders hold supreme authority, and state law is based on religious doctrine. It is characterized by the belief in divine guidance, with officials (often clergy) managing daily affairs. Regime change is more than replacing a political leader, it means replacing 1400 years of two Islamic sects, Sunni and Shia who have been fighting and killing each other for 1400 years. Iran may be Shia, but remember, Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers were Sunni.

Sharia w is incompatible with the US constitution and the constitutions of Russia and China. Religious freedom in America does NOT mean supporting a religion that wants to replace the US constitution with Sharia law.

The religious hypocrisy of the Shiites in Iran is on full display. They pray daily for the destruction of the infidels. Infidel refers to someone who rejects or disbelieves in the oneness of Allah and the message of Prophet Muhammad. Do the Russians or the Chinese believe in Allah and the message of Prophet Muhammad? Both are godless societies - infidels that need to be destroyed. Yet Iran seeks their help. Are like the communists useful idiots? Useful infidels? There is no difference: the ends always justify the means. Hiding behind the freedom of religion is the greatest evil.

Agree with everything you write, except that President Trump doesn’t understand Iran. What is he doing that exemplifies a lack of understanding?
