So, at 330 PM (Eastern) on 17 June 2025, the media reported that 32 U.S. air-refueling tanker-aircraft were flying eastward across the Atlantic to be available to refuel U.S. and Israeli aircraft as they prepared to destroy Iran because the Mullahs had the nerve to be upset with and then respond to attacks by Israel’s aircraft. Worse than that, the Iranians have absorbed Israeli attacks without a whimper, and have responded like brave and tech-savvy men – instead of like the tough boys in Israel who are publicly whining about the damage Iran has done in Israel in its response to Netanyahu starting a war he now finds not easily won over the sturdy Iranians. As a result, he has demanded Israel’s owned-and-paid for American traitors to join the war and help him kill more Muslims. The money Israel has spent — drawing on the extreme wealth of Jewish Americans and the funds the U.S. Congress has shoveled into Israel for going on 80 years – is bearing fruit for the murderous Israeli government as Trump appears to have abandoned the idea of an American First foreign policy and embraced the Star of David. He now is dancing the interventionist two-step, while his Israeli and Jewish-American friends, the whole of the American Congress, most Flag Officers, and Jewish-American Trump-donors spit on the Constitution, U.S. domestic security, Old Glory, and demand Trump go to war.
America started the 20th Century with Woodrow Wilson, who first spoke the America First lingo – non-intervention and neutrality — but then allowed the nation to be sucked into a European War which was only of a U.S. concern because he ached to mediate a peace deal to the war. The cost of that gross failure was 1,000 dead American troops a day for 110 days and the start of a steadily growing authoritarian U.S.government which has yet to be harnessed, let alone destroyed. What did America fight for under Wilson and his ego? Well, to make the world safe for democracy of course. How did that one work out?
Two decades on along comes Franklin Roosevelt – Wilson’s Assistant Secretary of the Navy – and with help from Herr Hitler’s Reich-killing declaration of war on the U.S. — took us into another ridiculous war in Europe, even though the only pending military task for America at the time was to defeat Imperial Japan for attacking Pearl Harbor.
FDR was the end of the road for constitutional U.S. wars. Since 1941, not one president has asked the Congress to do what only it can do, according to the Constitution, and declare war. After 1941, presidents’ have started wars whenever the mood hits them, most recently using the cover of that Congress-loved and unconstitutional item called “authorization for the use of force”. This slimy little gambit delegates a constitutional power that belongs solely to Congress. It or something similar, has been used in all but one of the wars America has fought since 1945. The exception being Harry Truman, who entered the Korean War with only his unanimous personal approval, another unconstitutional act. Each of the post-1945 wars has been a presidential war, we have lost every one, and we now have War Lords rather than presidents.
Long ago, one of our greatest diplomats and then president, John Quincy Adams, urged Americans to maintain strict adherence to the guidance for conducting foreign policy offered in George Washington’s Farewell Address. Adams warned that the survival of the republic depended on obedience to that guidance and on an enduring refusal to go abroad to seek monsters to destroy. War Lord Trump now seems arrogantly intent on ignoring historical truths and commonsense by starting yet another war in the Middle East. He is going to, as he said, “unleash hell” on Iran which clearly has been a pain in the ass for some of the world for a good long time. It has, however, done virtually nothing to America that has not been provoked by needless War-Lord interventions in places like Lebanon and Iraq. Indeed, the damage Iran has done to the United States has been minor when compared to the despicable, intentional, and enduring damage Israeli governments and Jewish-American organizations have wrought in the United States, starting with suborning the federal and many state governments, selling our technology to U.S. enemies, focusing Jewish-American money and organizations on Americans in an effort to reduce the Bill of Rights to an empty shell, and by refashioning the U.S. military as its cat’s paw. While there certainly are several foreign monsters out there, there is only one such state that merits immediate U.S. retribution, and it is not Iran.
I’ll finish with a quote from General Washington’s Farewell Address. He, of course, was not clairvoyant and so knew nothing about the future state of Israel. But he had seen the havoc and divisiveness caused in the United States by the all-in American advocates of revolutionary France, men who were supported with French money, the work of French diplomats serving in America, and, for a while, the covert assistance of Thomas Jefferson. Having experienced that problem, Washington urged Americans to forever steer clear of offering perpetual and unthinking support or enmity to any foreign country.
“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.” (1)
You know, perhaps General Washington was clairvoyant, as well as being, by far, the greatest American.
