Iranians murdered & maimed an awful lot of American soldiers with IEDs in Iraq. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see those Islamofascist sons-of-bitches being sent back to Teheran in bodybags.
Iran has long been building up a force on Israels borders in Syria along the Golan and in Lebanon via Hezbollah. War with Israel was imminent and probably forced Trump’s decision to scotch the deal to preserve strategic clarity.

It would have been absurd to keep the deal in the face of a conflict where America could not remain neutral. Besides, Iran's has fallen into a strategic trap too good to be missed.

Iran is now fighting two major foreign wars. One against anti Assad forces and now against Israel. The ayatollahs would have been invulnerable had they remained within Iran. But the Islamic elite became an expansionary force and sowed the seeds of their own destruction.

Israel's strategic problem was to lure the Iranians close. The IDF has always been a very short range force. All its wars have been fought near or inside Israel itself. In Iran the ayatollahs were beyond the combat power of Israel to destroy.

Part of the problem was solved by the Iranian guard itself. They moved into Lebanon where thru Hezbollah they ruled a lucrative private state, where they could launder money and run rackets. The neck was out, but Israel needed the body.

The rest of the solution was provided, albeit unintentionally, by Obama. The collapse of Syria tempted bigger forces in. Iran are now the foot soldiers of the wretched Assad. The money Obama so generously provided paid for their deployment into the foreign quagmire.

Iran is now neck deep in Syria and Lebanon. The ayatollah's foreign legions are far from home loaded down with the crippled Assad and inside the lethal short range of the IDF. They must either retreat or be bled dry.

I don't think Trump plotted this. Maybe Netanyahu did. But it would have clear to Mattis who realized the Deal would become a dead letter in that scenario. So Trump did the only thing he could. He chose a side.

Eventually clearer heads in Tehran will grasp the magnitude of the debacle and we may see them try to negotiate an exit from Syria. Not total victory but a bigly one.

UPDATE (May 14, 2018): Has Iran fallen into a strategic trap? (A longer-form, blog entry expanding upon the points above).
Raqqa Like A Hurricane
ISIS virtually conquered after losing its capital, reports The China Post.
Worst hit by the news: Former Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. If he’s alive, that is.
Second worst hit: Former China Post editor Joe Hung, who predicted (less than two years ago) that the Islamic State Caliphate was invincible. (No use clicking through, though. The China Post has killed the link, perhaps realizing that this editorial column was not among the paper’s finest.)
ISIS had hundreds of thousands of fanatical troops and billions of dollars, Joe Hung said. The world would just have to live with the Islamo-Nazis’ new Thousand-Year Reich, he insisted. Because ISIS would bring peace and love and understanding to the Middle East, just like all the Caliphates did before it.
Oh, and never you mind about the lowly infidel (Yazidi and Christian women) relegated to sexual slavery to soldiers of the Master Faith. Yazidis & Christians are little people, and in Joe Hung’s world, the rapes of a few thousand little people are well worth the price of the grand Middle Eastern Utopia he assured us was just around the corner.
A few of Joe Hung’s mighty, invincible rapist-terrorists. After their defeat. Why, they look ten-feet tall, don’t they just?
#ISIS lost nearly 6000 terrorists in #Raqqa, then surrendered in large numbers. Once purported as fierce, now pathetic and a lost cause. 4/6 pic.twitter.com/JV9EFywqd4

Either on their knees, or at your throat:
ISIS is beaten because they’ve had it: dog-whipped, cringing, crawling beaten. If you ask the survivors to jump they’ll ask how high.

They ain’t the men they used to be. They’re broken, which is a terrible and ugly thing to do to a man. But as Sherman knew, that’s the point

ISIS Issues Islamic Decree For Extermination Of Mentally-Disabled Children
Looking forward to seeing how Joe Hung of Taiwan’s China Post puts an erudite gloss on this latest of ISIS’s Nazi-like enormities.
UPDATE: Comrade Historian puts his own words into the mouths of Asian governments:
China and many other nations of Asia hope the [United States’ next president] can shift back to the Middle East again to contain the newly formed caliphate by peaceful means rather than force of arms. [Emphasis added]
Laughable, given that China is quick to resort to brutal violence against Muslim terrorism in Xinjiang, and that China has vowed to “resolutely strike” ISIS terrorists who murdered a Chinese citizen.

The Department Of Homeland Security. Fire. Them. All.
Re: That Muslim terrorist cunt from the San Bernardino massacre
Heckuva job, DHS!
For [Tashfeen Malik's] visa application [to live in the United States], the address she listed in her Pakistani hometown, ABC News discovered today, does not exist. [Emphasis added]
America vetted Tashfeen Malik like America vetted Obama @davereaboi @seanmdav
— The Scandalous DJT (@AceofSpadesHQ) December 4, 2015
[Tashfeen] Malik, 27, belonged to an educated, politically influential family from Karor Lal Esan in Layyah district. Malik Ahmad Ali Aulakh, one of her father’s cousins, was a provincial minister from 2008-13.
Residents said the Aulakh family is known to have connections to militant Islam.
As they like to say at Obama's Department of Homeland Security, nobody who lies about their address and has connections to militant Islam could be a bad person!
UPDATE (December 6, 2015): All is well, remain calm, everything is under control:
At least 72 employees at the Department of Homeland Security are listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list, according to a Democratic lawmaker.
UPDATE #3: Obama's FBI is really on the ball, too.
So the FBI just forgot to take that pile of shredded evidence with it? Just plum forgot? Yeah, that's credible. pic.twitter.com/zxCshuaUrg

UPDATE (December 9, 2015): The original title of this post was, Time For Public Hangings At The Department Of Homeland Security.
Musta been really tired and angry.
Public hangings? Oh my, really?
Not gonna apologize for being angry, but that was a bit over the top and inflammatory.
For the record, there will be NO public hangings over these lethal fuckups at Obama's Department of Homeland Security.
(Nor, one suspects, will there be so much as a single private reprimand, either…)

You know how much Barack Obama's "thoughts and prayers" are worth if he continues to allow Muslim terrorists to enter the States?
“Fuckin’ nothin’.”
UPDATE: The comedy routine which seems to have inspired the prayer-shaming movement:
i-1
So Apparently, Prayer-Shaming Is Now A Thing
Hmm. Democrats must have the next election in the bag, so clearly they don't need votes from the drooling, inbred Jeebus-lover crowd:
How many dead people did those thoughts and prayers bring back to the life? https://t.co/FX5yWryt1o
— Markos Moulitsas (@markos) December 2, 2015
Nevertheless, as an atheist myself, I can sympathize with the desire for solutions over platitudes. And so in the spirit of that, I make a simple proposal following the terrorist attack at San Bernardino:
End ALL Muslim immigration. NOW.
Because the time for meaningless platitudes is indeed over.
UPDATE: Just tracked down one more of those jerks who offers "thoughts and prayers" during mass casualty events.
I mean, what a total asshole, amirite?
And for the sake of completeness, this monster's latest violation of all that is good and politically-correct:
"Our first order of business is to send our thoughts and prayers to those who have been killed."
— Obama on the San Bernardino massacre (Dec 3, 2015)
UPDATE #2: Some thoughts on the prayer-shaming campaign:
The coordinated attack [on offering "thoughts and prayers" for victims & their families] seems to have three goals: One, to simply bait and troll religious people, Two, to show how trite and silly common people are with their second-hand sentiments (and how elevated the critic of such sentiments is), and Three, that while the rightwing can only offer "thoughts and prayers" in response to a mass shooting, leftwing politicians offer action…
UPDATE #3:
Has condemning thoughts and prayers solved mass shootings yet? Seemed like a real winner yesterday.

ISIS Sympathizer At The China Post: “Leave ISIS Alone!”
If there's a murderous, anti-Western, anti-democratic government to be found, Joe Hung will be there to lick its boots. Or sandals, as the case may be.
Barack Obama should stop his Crusade against ISIS now, demands Hung:
Obama still has time to reconsider [his] new Crusade, lest he should repeat President Bush's folly by getting the United States mired ever more deeply in the Middle East quagmire.
A competent historian would never say Obama was engaged in a Crusade, for the simple reason that Obama's not trying to recover formerly Christian lands in the Middle East.
(It helps, when one accuses another of launching a Crusade, to have some familiarity with the actual DEFINITION of the word…)
Moving along, ISIS's grotesque little apologist in Taipei asserts the Islamofascist group cannot be fought because it's invincible:
Even supposing the new Crusaders succeeded in toppling the IS caliphate, suicidal terrorism could never be stopped. Caliph al Baghdadi has ordered a jihad. There would not be any lack of mujahideen. Hundreds of thousands of his followers are willing and ready to die in a holy war against the Western imperialists who they believe are launching the new Crusade.
No, 'fraid not. A caliph's religious and political legitimacy rests necessarily upon his control over TERRITORY. Remove his control over land and his legitimacy vanishes. After which, the orders of a phony caliph carry no weight.
Speaking of al-Baghdadi's legitimacy, supermajorities in Middle Eastern countries have a unfavorable opinion of ISIS and regard al-Baghdadi's self-proclaimed position as illegitimate. Read into it what you will that an agnostic Confucian like Joe Hung finds al-Baghdadi more legitimate than the vast majority of Muslims do.
(Chart showing 85% of all Middle Easterners regard ISIS with disfavor.)
Finally, Joe Hung suggests that because ISIS is invincible, it should be left alone to bring peace to the region, the way the Ottoman Caliphate did in years previous:
There was no trouble in the Middle East while the caliphs of the Ottoman Empire ruled it for more than 400 years.
This is all highly unconvincing, since according to Islamic law, a caliph is REQUIRED to wage at least one war every year against Infidel nations.
An ISIS caliphate is therefore likely to create A GREAT DEAL of trouble outside the Middle East, regardless of what happens inside. (Just as the Ottomans made incessant war on Eastern Europe and the Balkans.)
And as for his fanciful prospects of ISIS pacifying the Middle East, Joe Hung forgets the presence of 6 million Jews and many more million Shiites in the region, whom ISIS is unlikely to leave unmolested.
Um, you said "rapes" twice.
POSTSCRIPT: Joe Hung invents "facts" to satisfy his narrative:
As a matter of fact, one result of the Crusades, during which Jews were massacred by Crusaders in a pogrom, was the birth of Zionism, which finally triumphed with the creation of Israel. [Emphasis added]
Comrade Historian is apparently unaware that Zionism (like many other forms of nationalism) was largely a product of the 19th century.
The opposite of "truth" is "narrative."

Taiwanese Cry Foul Over Obama Shout-Out
The other day Barack Obama publicly praised Taiwan for its humanitarian contributions for refugees from the Syrian and Iraqi civil wars, leading Taiwanese who would normally not agree with each other to react with anger and alarm at being placed into ISIS's crosshairs.
First, Chinese nationalists at Taiwan's China Post:
…Obama's statement has not generated the [favorable] traffic that might be expected on [Taiwanese] social media. When it is mentioned, Obama's Taiwan mention is…greeted with a "why us?" analysis.
The U.S. president knows full well that naming Taiwan in such a way will, to a degree, put Taiwan on the terrorists' map…
And second, Taiwanese nationalists at the Taipei Times:
US President Barack Obama naming Taiwan as one of the US’ partners in the global battle against terrorism might have come across as a nod to the nation’s aid to Syrian refugees to some, but his remarks at the East Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur were not only hypocritical, but have put the nation in danger of being targeted by Muslim extremists.
[…]
As with any talks at the international level, the two parties [KMT & DPP], intentionally or otherwise, have sent a clear message not only to IS, but also to Obama: “Keep Taiwan out of your fight.”
I'm gonna zag where readers might expect me to zig, and defend Obama on this one. (Or rather, not so much defend him as to place the blame elsewhere — on Ma Ying-jeou and Taiwan's KMT government.)
Taiwan's humanitarian contributions to alleviate the Syrian crisis are presumably not on some sort of top-secret budget, but are a matter of public knowledge in Taiwan as well as parts of the Middle East. The China Post elucidates the composition of Taiwan's aid:
The nation donated prefabricated houses, LED lamps and medical supplies worth nearly US$10 million in recent years in humanitarian assistance through the U.S. and relevant countries to refugees and other people affected by terrorism and war in the Middle East, according [to Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs].
It seems to me that if the Taiwanese government wanted its donations kept on the q.t., the onus was on it to communicate this wish — clearly & firmly — to the U.S.
It certainly had ample time to do so…YEARS of time, in fact.
So yes, Obama should be faulted for not understanding how ISIS's attacks on one U.S. ally (France) might cause nervousness on the part of a lesser player like Taiwan. But that does not absolve Ma Ying-jeou's administration from the responsibility it had for informing the American government about its desire to avoid the attention of the monstrous Islamofascist organization, ISIS.
Amidst all the finger-pointing at Barack Obama, the KMT's failure in this matter should not forgotten, either.
POSTSCRIPT: I've even seen a "Downfall" parody on this subject. Not knowing Chinese, I can't speak to its quality or lack thereof.
UPDATE: The China Post whistles past the graveyard:
Also, IS does not consider Taiwan an enemy. The monetary and humanitarian support Taiwan gives the American-led coalition is insignificant. The new caliphate feels no need to retaliate against Taiwan.
How do you know that? You got a secret hotline to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi?
And if so, do you believe everything he tells you?
