The same people say Iran can’t have a nuke because they are religious fundamentalists are the same people who hold the heretical belief that we must support Israel’s non-stop campaign of murder, blackmail, land theft bombing & starvation of the innocent because ‘God will bless… pic.twitter.com/79UUiPsAX1 — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) June 18, 2025

Not much has been said about.. "Iran supplies 80% of its oil to China. That will provide a serious economic incentive for China to weigh in." "These NEOCONS cannot see beyond the end of their noses. They conspired and used 911 to attack Saddam with zero forethought of what would happen when you remove him? They never anticipated ISIS. They only look at the immediate objective and do not consider anything beyond that. Turn this into a religious war, and you will watch Europe burn. It may be to remove the religious government of Iran that overthrew the Shah in 1979, but if this is perceived as a war against Islam instead of a government, then this explodes in everyone’s face." Obama’s attempt to invade Syria was rejected by Congress, but he still funded the CIA’s covert operations. That sent countless Muslims into Europe, and therein lies the destruction of Europe. While NEOCONS are entirely in charge of NATO and have indoctrinated all the various heads of state from Merz, Starmer, and Macron, just to mention a few, their myopic focus on war with Russia has overlooked that this NEOCON attempt to overthrow Iraq and Syria, had allowed waves of Syrian and other militants into Europe who did not assimilate. As war escalates against Iran, the greatest danger is that this becomes a Jihad – holy war against both Judaism and Christianity. I would NOT plan any vacation to Europe this summer. This Middle East NEOCON War to eliminate all of the possible enemies of Israel is a disaster about to unfold. Pakistan has threatened to drop a nuclear warhead on Israel if Benjamin Netanyahu uses nuclear weapons against Iran, according to a top Iranian officer. ..... Americans Wary of War – Is Iran the Enemy? The American people do not want war. The Iranian people do not want war, nor do the Russians, Ukrainians, or Israelis. Politicians lead nations on paths of death and destruction. The military-industrial complex succeeds, the neocons succeed, governments topple one another in search of power—but the people always lose. Iran was a different nation prior to the 1979 revolution. Pre-revolution pictures show women unveiled and living normal lives. Sharia law is now strictly enforced. The hijab is now non-negotiable for girls as young as 12. Half of the population was instantly silenced. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij militia have dismantled any attempted protest or disobedience. There were protests earlier this year but the people cannot speak out without the threat of execution. The major nationwide protests that occurred in 1999, 2009, and 2022 were completely dismantled by Iranian forces. The people live under a complete dictatorship. Kings and politicians have been waging wars for thousands of years. They seem to have no problem sending people to their deaths, all for some strange reason that appears to be the same human trait that wages sports, and we have to beat the other team to pound the chest and hold up the trophy. The French King Louis XIV, on his deathbed, lamented that he loved war too much. Every war is government vs government, but they villanize the entire population of the enemy nation to justify their war games. The GOP may be cheering for war, but I have heard several Trump supporters express disappointment as they voted for the candidate who they presumed to be the least likely to bring America into a global conflict. I repeatedly warned that Trump could only prolong the inevitable cycle of war. Americans are loudly stating that they do not want war. A new poll conducted by the Economist and YouGov found that only 16% of Americans believe the US should be involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, 24% are undecided, while an overwhelming 60% do not believe this is America’s battle to fight.
