Weekly Update/Rant 6/21/25

This isn’t your typical political podcast. In this fiery kickoff to the weekly rant series of Meaning of the Minds, I rip into the latest headlines with no filter or apologies. From a political assassination to the media’s blind spots, the “No Kings” rallies, Trump’s foreign policy failures, and the myth of diplomatic progress with Iran and Russia. 

If you think isolationism is a virtue or that protests are progress, prepare to be challenged. I lay out why war with Iran and Russia is the answer, why America’s hesitation to act is cowardice, and what needs to happen next.

Do you want to hear my thoughts on recent socio-political events? Then stay tuned for this weekly update rant version of the Meaning of the Minds podcast. I created this podcast to voice my opinion and engage in meaningful conversation about topics that I find interesting. My focus to this point is typically on topics that I think are evergreen that are universally interesting for long periods of time, but sometimes it takes time to develop those ideas about what I want to talk about and I need to think about it for a long time. And I only want to create something about evergreen topics if it's a view that I have interest in. and something that I haven't heard expressed before. I want to be unique in that way and not just talking about something that someone has already gone over or discussed in depth. So, at this point, I've decided to try weekly updates on current affairs because a lot of things have been happening in the world recently and this is a space where I can share my thoughts about what is happening. So, the evergreen podcasts that I have been doing will not stop and hopefully will continue and happen even more as usual. I've also been very busy recently and that has also impacted my ability to make podcasts. Sorry about that. The good thing is that things will be a bit slower for the next few months hopefully. So, I'll have more time to dedicate to recording. So, with all of that said, here's my first weekly update as a social commentator. I'm going to set my bias free here because basically I can. I created this podcast as a way for me to be able to express myself. So, that's what I'm going to do here. This might come off as more of a rant than anything, but honestly, it's how I feel, and because it's my podcast, I can express myself any way I want to. So, if you're wondering, my tone here might be a little different than in previous podcasts. Here, I might come off as more of an incendiary fire brand than I do in my typical podcast, but at the same time, I also feel that my opinions are rooted in fact, and I'll try and utilize information to substantiate my claims as necessary. And I will freely admit that I am very biased about certain things and that's what I'm going to put out there. All right, with all that said, let's get started on what's happened in the last couple weeks. First of all, the Minnesota political assassin who killed the state lawmaker and nearly a state senator. This is a horrible tragedy. It sucks that this happened. Also, very good thing that it happened at the time that it did because the liberal media would have had a complete f****** field day with this if Israel had not decided to attack Iran during this time. So, it has spared the public the exposure to the ridiculous complete circus that this would be over the national media if it had happened outside of this time frame. In addition to that, it's just really sad that the dude didn't kill himself. I always really hope that the perpetrators of crimes like this are going to off themselves in the end because it just saves so many problems for society. It's just so much easier if the person puts a bullet in their head than allows themselves to get captured and then they have to go through this whole f****** legal rigmarole that takes years and years, thousands of taxpayer dollars. You know that the dude is going to go to prison for the rest of his life no matter what. And then if anything, he's going to attempt to get his completely goddamn ridiculous political viewpoint out and use his position as political propaganda to support whatever b******* claims he has. It's easier if he just is not taken into custody. It sucks that the police didn't kill him and it sucks that he didn't kill himself. The second thing to talk about is the no kings rally that happened across the United States the other day. First of all, I like to refer to this as hippie church because that's exactly what it is. Liberals clearly don't believe in religion even though they are completely religious and it is a religious ideology and a zealous position that they take. And so this is the closest thing to church for liberals that they have. This was so irrelevant I completely forgot about it before I started recording. Here's my rant about these kinds of political rallies. What the f*** is the point of doing this? This makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. It's smoke and mirrors. It's screaming into the void. This is all just sound and fury. There is absolutely no substance. to any of these things. They're not going to go anywhere. You have not created any change in the world whatsoever. What do you expect to happen as a result of you walking down the street with a thousand 10,000 people that believe exactly the same thing as you, holding signs and engaging in this practice, other than making yourself feel better for the moment, you were doing absolutely nothing to change society. I understand, I guess, how some people might think like, "Oh, well, we're contributing ing to the education of the public about the bad things that are happening as a result of the government. First of all, I don't think that that's true because you're just appealing to people that are already converted to your side. Secondly, you lost the f****** election. That was not that long ago. That was like 8 months ago. And Trump, for all of his faults, and I'm happy to go into those. I'm going to completely rag on him in a minute here. He's clearly not a king. And for the people that are thinking that he's going to Putin himself here and completely take over the United States. You're absolutely f****** Looney Tunes crazy. I'd be happy to put some money down on that cuz there's no way that that is ever going to happen. If you're the kind of person that's assuming that he's going to run for a third term, you are out of your goddamn mind. There's no way that's going to happen. It's just totally ridiculous. The no kings thing was also preempted by the war between Israel and Iran. So, Sorry that that happened to ruin your day as well and you didn't get all of the news coverage that you were desperately hoping for. I'm glad that it didn't result in a whole bunch of cities burning across the United States like the George Floyd ridiculous b******* did for quite some time. Now I'm going to move on to Trump. And if anybody thinks that I'm a right-winger, you are probably going to change your mind after you hear the things that I have to say about this guy. So some caveats before I get into this. I've voted for Trump this last time. I am really happy that he won because virtually anything in the world would have been better than Biden or Harris taking the seat of the presidency. So, I wanted him to win. I'm glad that he won. With that said, I am way more anti-liberal than I am conservative. I do not at all consider myself to be conservative. I consider myself very clearly to be in the libertarian camp. I am a libertarian by far more than am anything else and also not a complete lunatic libertarian like Ron Paul or Rand Paul. Those guys are completely f****** nuts. Rand Paul has some smart ideas about things and then the rest of his ideas are completely ridiculous b*******. Anyways, moving on to destroying Trump here. Trump has absolutely no idea what he's doing. He has completely s*** the bed as far as his foreign affairs and basically he's completely a fish out of water. Here's why I think He's so bad in understanding and doing anything productive in foreign affairs. If you think of his life as working with construction for all of the years that he did that, right, he was a real estate mogul. His time was spent focusing on contractors and subcontractors that wanted something out of him. It was an economic agreement between two parties to get things done. If you're a businessman that wants a business to be created, you go out and you find contractors and subcontractors that put in bids. They want something from you. They want the work from you. You want the work from them. So, it's a mutual understanding that happens between parties, right? There's a very definitive incentive structure behind the behavior that happens. Foreign affairs in the world is absolutely nothing like that. Iran or Russia, they don't look at interactions with other countries in the same way that a real Estate tycoon looks at interactions with potential contractors in building things for them. For example, they might have incentives that don't at all align with what the other party wants to accomplish. The incentive structures for foreign governments are not the same thing as the incentive factors for people in a real estate deal. In a real estate deal, the intentions are the same. They're predictable on each side of the fence. You have the person that is buying the property or renovating the property on one side and on the other side you know that there's people that want to put in work in order to get money from you. Very simple. This does not at all apply to how foreign policy and influence works in the world. There is an incentive structure for countries that don't want to follow along with what the rest of the world wants. them to do. There is an incentive process that pushes them to bluster, to lie, to intentionally mislead the rest of the world because they want to do whatever the f*** they want to do anyways. And they want to get away with it. And they know that the easiest way to be able to do whatever you want to do is to pretend to play the game of diplomacy while at the same time following through with whatever you going to do. We've seen this time and time and time again for years and years, decades from both Russia and Iran, and now is the time to pay the price for all of that b*******. Point being, Trump does not understand how foreign affairs work because he does not understand that there are incentive structures that are completely different than what he is used to as someone involved in the real estate industry. Basically, the only thing that he's been successful full on up to this point in his administration is immigration. He's doing great with that. Well, at least he kind of was doing great with that until ICE started busting down doors in meatpacking plants which screwed up the businesses of some of his oligarchic friends and shockingly amazingly uh all of a sudden ICE is pulling out of the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants. Oh, it's completely amazing that that is the way that that happened. I'm sure that there was reason other than Trump's buddies who donate millions of dollars politically to him and have everything to gain or lose from the fact that they have illegal immigrants working for them. I'm sure that didn't play at all in any way into the decision for ICE to pull out of agriculture, hotels, and restaurants. It's absolute corruption. It's total f****** b******* that this is allowed to happen. It's unbelievable. In addition to that, let's talk very briefly about tariffs. I don't want going to get into specifics about the whole thing because numbers are boring. But here's the one thing that anyone needs to know about tariffs. They will raise the price of products. Amazing. I know it's totally astounding, right? This is this is just mind-blowing to anyone hearing it. If you place a tariff on a product, it is going to be more expensive as a result of that. And in a world that we currently are in where Joe Biden spent money like a deranged f****** psychop ATH. We have unbelievable inflation in the United States right now as a result of all of this terrible fiscal policy that has been going on. And to play this bizarre and ridiculous game of, oh, hey, we're randomly going to assign, I don't know, 100% tariffs. No, it's going to be 200%. No, it's going to be 50%. No, it's going to be 10%. On every single item that's coming potentially into the United States of America. Not only completely f**** up the stock market, but it also severely impacts the appropriate pricing of items. Tariffs are ridiculous. It is mercantalism at its best. The reason that Trump is pushing for tariffs, is because he seems to believe that he can get historical liberal bastions, primarily the labor unions, which are f****** terrible in every conceivable way, and out for their own power, and also donate virtually all of their money to the Liberal Democrats. By the way, they're not going to be your friend. If you're a conservative, you need to let that s*** go right away. This is not going to be your newest voting base. Not going to happen. Okay? He's trying to buy off the unions and he's trying to buy union support and union votes in the future. It is a losing game to play and it looks absolutely terrible. It might save a couple of jobs in America, but the price that you pay is the universal price on products in the United States increase in in order to save a few people's mostly liberals jobs in very particular fields. Now, to look specifically at foreign policy and here I'm going to be talking primarily about Iran and Russia. Iran more than anything, but Russia plays a big part in this. Trump comes across as a complete p****. People say Trump is a taco or that taco is associated with Trump stands for Trump always chickens out. Unfortunately, 100% accurate when it comes to the way that he is responding to both Iran and to Russia. Let me talk really briefly about how I understand the psychology of the minds of the people that are running Russia and Iran. These places are run by people that are criminals, especially Russia. Russia is basically if Tony Soprano and his buddies took over a country. That is exactly what Russia looks like right now. Iran is the same thing except it's if Tony Soprano and his friends took over, but they're also religious and have a fundamentalist death cult ideology pushing them. I've worked with criminals for many, many years, decades at this point. I know the criminal mind really well. I've sat in on innumerable one-on-one sessions, groups with criminals. I understand the intricacies of their minds. I understand why they think the way that they think. And I assure you, as far as criminals go, the only thing that they respond to is violence. That's it. It's very simple. The criminal mind is extremely simple. They only respond to violence or the threat of violence with the capacity and willingness to follow through with it. To be truly honest about the state of the world, the state of the universe, the only thing that is keeping any of us safe, that is keeping you safe, keeping me safe, keeping your family safe, is men with guns that are willing to kill other men with guns. That's it. I know that that probably sounds weird and you might not have a gun. You might not believe in a gun. You might not know anyone that has a gun. Here's the truth. You are allowed to have that kind of position because it is a luxury. It's because there are people with guns that are willing to defend your right to not have a gun. Your absence of understanding about those things is a luxury that is afforded by our rich western society. At the end of the day, if there were not men with guns willing to protect you, other people with guns would do whatever they wanted to you. That is the way that the world works. So, let's jump back to the dangerous neighborhood analogy that I talked about before in previous podcasts. Say you've got a neighbor and this neighbor's name is Muhammad because of course it is. And Muhammad's got a family. He's a great guy. He keeps his women locked up in their house. They're basically wearing the equivalent of burlap sacks. They can only leave with him or one of the male heirs. They have to cover themselves at all times. They can't talk to anybody outside of the family. They can't drive. Nothing like that. He's got sons as well. And every time you walk by his house, he's got his garage door open. And his sons and him are working on this weird contraption inside there. Kind of looks like a bomb. It's really weird. And you ask them, "Hey, what are you guys doing?" And every time you walk by and you ask them this, they respond, "We're making a bomb and you ask them, "What are you going to do with that bomb?" And they say, "Oh, well, once we get this done, we're going to put it in your house and we're going to blow you up and we're going to kill you." And this is our goal in life. We believe that we are divinely inspired in order to create this bomb and kill you. God wants us to build this bomb in order to kill you. And they keep saying that every time you walk by. They're working on the bomb. It's getting closer and closer to being done. Hey guys, what are you doing? Hey, we're still working on the bomb. to kill you and your family. Oh, in the meantime, by the way, Muhammad also sent some of his sons over to your house, uninvited, of course. They broke down the fence in the backyard. They raped a couple of your daughters. They murdered some of your family that were in the backyard horrifically. Tried to cut some of their heads off, put that on TikTok because they thought that that was fun. And again, remember that the dangerous neighborhood analogy is accurate to what the world is like. There is no overarching police force to come in and save the day. There's no objective reality that is going to save you from this. We are all neighbors in this neighborhood and there's nobody that's going to come and save us. We have to make the decision on our own or by making alliances with other neighbors in order to stop horrible people from doing horrible things to other people. This is the problem with the isolationist portion of the Republican party, which really unfortunately is a huge part of Republicanism right now, and it makes me f****** sick. It drives me absolutely crazy. The tactic that the isolationists in the Republican party are taking right now is virtually identical to the same argumentation that those people during the Gulf War were screaming no blood for oil. It's the same argument. The same people that you hated back in the day for saying that the United States should be isolationist. You are adopting that position. That is the position that you were currently in. You were the same people What the f*** is wrong with you? Instead of Muhammad wanting to blow our house up, let's say that we have the nicest house on the block and the neighbor, we'll call him, I don't know, Mosha. Moa and his family are really the ones that Muhammad wants to blow up. So, uh, every time you walk by, you ask Muhammad, "Hey, what's going on in the garage?" Yeah, we're making a bomb. We're going to blow up you and and Moses. That's our number one goal. your big Satan, they're little Satan. We're going to kill both of you as as soon as we possibly can. The moment that Muhammad sets his kids over to break down the fence, rape his family members, murder Moha's family members, the moment that something like that happens, and let's say that you're there, you're watching this occur, you see it happening, you know that it's going on right next to you, you could hear the cries of these horrible things happening. to these people and you were in a prime position. Let's say you've got a gun. Let's say you got a bunch of guns and you could walk over there and you could very easily tell them, "Hey, you're not going to f****** do that. And if you do, I'm going to kill you or you're going to leave and go back to your house." Whatever it is that you want to say. You have the ability to do that. It's completely available to you. And yet, you choose to do absolutely nothing. You sit in your house. You don't say a f****** word to anyone. That is completely unethical. It is completely immoral. And that is the position of the United States as far as Russia and as far as Iran. It is the exact same thing. We are refusing to stop tyrants from engaging in harming other people. It is absolutely ludicrous that we are doing this. It is a moral and ethical imperative to help innocent people from getting butchered, raped, and robbed. We are the monsters. If we let these things happen to our neighbors and we don't do anything in response, it reminds me of a great big strong guy and his little buddy at a bar and some jackass comes up to the little guy and starts picking on him and attempts to fight the little guy and the little guy winds up just beating the holy s*** out of this douchebag that tried to instigate a fight with him. And the United States is the great big guy. who doesn't do anything throughout this entire process, watches his friend get picked on, watches his friend beat the s*** out of the other guy. And then at the end, once the little guy has thoroughly defeated this douchebag that was trying to f*** with him, the big guy then walks over and kicks the douchebag in the ribs as he's on the ground. This is the way that the United States is treating Israel and Iran in the midst of this conflict. If there's a reason that the US shouldn't join in the attacks against Iran with Israel. I really am struggling to understand what the counterarguments could possibly be with this. Nothing that I've heard makes any semblance of sense to me. I'll talk about a couple possible counterarguments that I've heard recently. The first one is that if we attack Iran or join in the attack on Iran, then all of a sudden Iran is going to open up on US assets and troops in the Middle East. There's thousands of troops that are in the Middle East. spread in military bases all throughout the area and Iran is just going to open up on all these people. They're going to kill God knows how many untold numbers of our troops. It's just going to be absolutely terrible. It's going to be a blood bath. Well, no, that's not going to happen. That's total b*******. They can't do anything to Israel right now other than lob random missiles into the country at increasingly dwindling rates because their launchers are getting destroyed. We'll get talking more about that in a second. here. There's absolutely no indication that they're going to be able to do anything. Anything maybe then encouraging Mutad Alsader to rise up in Iraq and attempt to to cause chaos in the country or maybe the Houthies attempting to do something. Although that's we've seen how that plays out for the Houthies. It's they're not going to be able to do anything. They haven't been able to do anything already. There's no indication that they're going to be able to do anything significant against US soldiers in the area. It's It's just totally ludicrous. Another counterargument that I've heard that is quite outlandish is that the Iranian military, what they're trying to do is use their cheap, s***** missiles against Israel in order to deplete their interceptors so that once the interceptors are completely degraded, there's nothing left, there's nothing for them to shoot, then all of a sudden they're going to launch this massive wave of missiles that's going to utterly devastate Israel. This is complete b******* as well. It's clearly b******* because if that's the case, why have the number of missiles that they've shot day after day after day continuously dwindled? It's not because they are having some weird 3D chess game where they're outwitting the United States and Israel in order to launch this massive devastating attack that's just going to annihilate them. No. What's happening is that they've shot basically the majority of the missiles that they have in their availability right now. a bunch of other ones are already blown up by Israeli forces or they are in bunkers that are sealed up because the entrances have been bombed or the most telling and important thing is that the launchers that they're using the the trucks that the missiles are actually on are being completely destroyed all across the country. Now, that's going to take some time because they have a bunch of them and they're all over the place. So, there are still a few that are left. But every single day, Israel goes through and kills more and more and more of these things. So you will only see the numbers go down in time. This is a completely spurious argument that has absolutely no factual basis whatsoever. Another counterargument that I've heard is that somehow if the United States attacks Iran or especially if they use like a nuclear bunker buster to destroy for nuclear facility, then this is going to somehow give permission to Russia to utilize nukes in Ukraine. First of all, I don't think they need an excuse to use nukes in Ukraine. They didn't need to have an excuse to go into a foreign country that had done nothing towards them and slaughter and butcher thousands of people. That they didn't have to think about that at all. Why the f*** would they have to think about using a nuclear weapon? Also, um also, you might not remember, but the United States already has used two nuclear weapons in the past. I believe it was in the 1940s, if I remember correctly, against a country known as Japan. This is how we won. in World War II. So there is a precedent of countries using nuclear weapons against other countries. If they wanted to use that as an excuse, they could do that at any time. Putin does whatever the f*** Putin wants to. He uses whatever justification he needs to come up with in the moment. There is a reason that he is not using nuclear weapons at this point. It's because he knows that the world will come down on him, including China, might add, like a ton of f****** bricks if he starts flinging nukes around in Europe. Also, a really Easy way to counter this would be for the United States to just say, "Hey, guess what we're going to do? We're going to move nuclear weapons into Ukraine." How about that? How about they could also just give them to Ukraine? They could be like, "Hey, because they're our allies and we want them to survive this. We understand that this is an existential crisis for Ukraine. You know what we're going to do? We're going to give them a whole bunch of nuclear weapons." Or, "Guess what? We've already given them nuclear weapons. Good luck with that, Russia. What are you going to do now?" Also, the US could just say, f*** you Russia and join in the fight against them and kill a whole bunch of reds, which is probably what we should be doing right now. Anyways, another counterargument is that diplomacy is going to work. All of a sudden, magically, they're going to listen to all of these discussions that politicians across the world want to have with them in order to stop this violence. That's not going to work. It never has. They have been lying through their f****** teeth for decades, year after year after year, about their nuclear ambitions and what the intent of their nuclear program is. is diplomacy. Again, it's all about understanding the reasoning behind why countries engage in diplomacy. Some countries are engaging in diplomacy because they actually want to accomplish a goal. Others use diplomacy as an excuse, as a justification in order to utilize a delaying tactic against the rest of the world so that they can continue to do whatever they want to do. And shockingly, It's always the ultra criminal s***** countries of the world like Russia, like North Korea, like Iran that engage in this practice of this fake diplomacy in order to make the Neville Chamberlains of the world feel like they're actually accomplishing something when in fact they're doing absolutely nothing at all. I've also heard people talk about whether there should be regime change, whether that should be a goal for the US and Iran. And uh they answer is very simple. Absolutely. Yes. It 100% should be the goal. We need to kill Iranian members of government and diplomats until there's nobody left to kill or unless somebody else takes over the country and the country bulcanizes as a result of it. The instability that would result from balkanization is something that would result in stability for the rest of the world. This is what our goal should be. And a final argument that I've heard about why we should not attack Iran is that the proxies might attack the United States. A good counterargument to this would be why don't you go and ask the Houthis, why don't you ask Hamas? And why don't you ask Hezbollah how that is going for them? They've done absolutely f****** nothing. And if they had the ability to, don't you think they would have followed through with that? They've already blown their wad. They attempted whatever they could starting with October 7th and then the response after that point. And they've been utterly decimated in every conceivable way since that point in time. They don't have the capacity to attack to any significant degree at this point. Now, is it possible that they might have sleeper cells in the United States that could hit soft targets or something like that? Yes, absolutely. That's a possibility that might happen. Would it be tragic? Yes. Would that make any semblance of difference as far as an existential threat against the United States or killing hundreds of thousands of people or doing something that would be just massively disrupting to the world? No, it wouldn't at all. It would be terrible, tragic terrorist attack and it would be dealt with quickly and violently. And if anything, it would be another reminder that these terrible, f****** s*****, ideological, zealous people need to be wiped from the face of the f****** planet. Back to Trump being a complete p**** about this situation. The one thing that I've heard is that he actually heard about the bombing before it was supposed to happen. What? Oh, gee. Well, that's wonderful. What a great accomplishment in your life that you heard about something but didn't do anything about it. I'm wondering if it was potentially a cover as well that the Israelis were so tired of waiting for Trump to act and actually do anything of note that they decided to go in and take care of the situation themselves and then afterwards Trump had a discussion with them and they decided that they would push the narrative of well actually I did understand that they were going to do it beforehand. I just chose not to do anything regardless. He hasn't done anything since that point. If anything, he is potentially utilizing the tankers in order to help refueling for the jets, the Israeli jets as they're flying over to bomb Iran. That's wonderful. Congratulations. It is the most mediocre vanilla milktoast p**** possible response you could ever have in a situation like this. We need to be flying over there right now, dropping bombs on heads, destroying that place along with our Israeli allies. So, I don't know why he isn't acting and bombing at this point. He should be. This two week limit is so f****** ridiculous. He's done this multiple times with every It's just his default in when he doesn't know what to do, which is constantly. The man has absolutely no idea what the f*** he's doing as far as foreign policy or well, even domestic policy when it comes to like economics. He doesn't understand that either. But every time that he has a problem with Russia, he says, "Oh, well, I'm going to give him two weeks to respond to this. And he's done that what, three times now, I think. And now he's using the same f****** response for the Iran situation. Just admit that you don't know what the f*** you're doing. Make a decision. Follow through on it. Be a f****** leader. Stand up. Don't act like a goddamn buffoon that doesn't understand what the hell you're doing. Why are you waiting for the little guy to do your work for you when it's something that you should be doing on your own? It's ridiculous. So, what should be the goals if and when hopefully the United States begins attacking Iran in conjunction with Israel. Primary goals, killi, kill all of the leadership of the country, reduce any of the organizations that they use to establish and maintain power to absolute rubble. Why should we attack Iran? What is what's Iran done to us? Well, let's talk about that. Okay, there's a thing that you might remember called the embassy hostage crisis which happened in 1979. took 52 Americans hostage and held them for over a year. In 1983, Hezbollah, uh, the pieces of s*** up in Lebanon, blew up the Beirut barracks that was full of American servicemen and killed 241 Americans. 241 Americans were murdered by them in 1983. They also were a part of the Kobar Towers bombing in 1996 that killed 19 US Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. The Pentagon created a report in 2019 that shows that in Iraq during the war there from 2003 to 2011, there was approximately over 600 US service members that were killed as a result of Iran's support during that time after Trump in the very rare circumstance that he actually did anything worthwhile as far as foreign policy goes during his last administration when he killed Kasam Solommani, Iran targeted multiple US air bases in Iraq and and this is in 2020 and shot missiles into it, destroying parts of the bases. And I believe that it caused some type of trauma to the service members that were in the bases at the time. Thank god nobody died as a result of it. In 2024, an Iranianbacked militia sent a drone attack in Jordan into an American base that killed three American soldiers. It's been accused of a bunch of cyber attacks against the United States. Also, they more than likely tried to assassinate President Trump himself. There's a litany of issues that Iran has created throughout the world. They have been an enormous problem spreading their hatefilled ideology, their anti-semitic ideology, their anti-American, anti-Western ideology all across the world since the revolution in 79. They need to be stopped. They need to be destroyed. Do we need boots on the ground as a result of all of this? Uh, no. This is not going to happen. It's It's totally absurd to think that that's going to occur. At most, boots on the ground might be utilized for something like securing the Iranian nuclear sites like Fordo, for example, to make sure that they're no longer a threat and then to hopefully get the boots on the ground out of there immediately once that's done. Once the country is reduced entirely to rubble, we should leave it at that point, let the population take over or do whatever the hell they want to do. Hopefully, there would be something like a bulcanization that would happen. Would that potentially lead to the Civil War. Uh maybe. Who gives a s***? I don't f****** care. Let them kill each other. It doesn't matter to me. Also, an important thing to note is that bulcanization is really good as far as American defense goes in the region because what happens as a result of bulcanization is that the country becomes so destabilized that there's no central authority that can gain power to the point where they can create enough organization in order to do things like create nuclear weapons. Again, the perfect example This is Iraq. I know a lot of people talk s*** about us going into Iraq. We probably shouldn't have done it in the way that we did. I agree with that. But you do not hear about nuclear weapons being created, intercontinental ballistic missiles being created or worked on in that region because of the bulcanization that has occurred as a result of it. Separate the Shiites and the Sunnis. They hate each other anyways. Let them fight it out amongst one another. I've also heard people talk about how possibly Iran and North Korea are similar. There's a lot of very significant differences between Iran and North Korea. First of all, Iran is completely controlled by an Islamic fundamentalist death cult that is very different than North Korea, which is controlled by a tinpot dictator who wants to run his country into the ground and have his own little FFT where he could do whatever he wants, massacre his own people and starve them to death and treat them like absolute s***. The ideology and incentives for behavior are fundamentally different between Iran and between North Korea. The North Korean dictatorship does not want to die under any circumstances. This person wants to live in his little s*** hole country and do whatever the f*** he wants during that time. Iran, on the other hand, is founded it's foundational principles. These people are revolutionaries. They are Islamic revolutionaries. They believe that when you die in battle, especially against the great Satan or the little Satan, It is a ticket that is immediately punched in order to go to heaven. What makes you think that they would not utilize a nuclear weapon if they had the capacity to be able to do that or to give it to a proxy in order to try and minimize their responsibility for the utilization of that in a foreign country. In addition, another difference between North Korea and Iran is China. So, China does actually have a substantial amount of control over North Korea and would really not be happy with them throwing around nuclear weapons in area. So that is a bit of a buttress against them acting out like a bunch of idiots over there. A really important thing to remember is that Iran has shown time and time again after year after year after year that they are willing to create and support proxy organizations like Hamas, like Hezbollah, like the Houthis that they will utilize in order to engage in their religiously motivated death cultriven behaviors and that they would use if possible to give a nuclear weapon to so that they could use it against somebody else. Part of their founding principles is the utter destruction of Israel. They say this all the time. This is like on their news media. This is part of the sloganeering that their government puts forward is death to Israel, death to America. You should probably believe what they say. What other country in the world can you think of where their national identity is predicated on the absolute destruction of a race or religious belief or a specific part of the world. It's absolutely unbelievable that these people believe these kinds of things. They are utter fundamentalists that need to be destroyed. Also, North Koreans are not driven by martyrdom. I already mentioned this before. Iranians are driven by martyrdom. It's the most important thing that they can seek in life. North Koreans don't believe in anything like that because they're atheists. All they want to do is support their little tinpot dictator and live the shittiest life that they can in one of the most god awful countries in the world. I also hear people talking about their fear that Iran is going to take over the streets of Hormuz. And I'm really curious how in God's name do you think that they are going to do that? They have a modicum of a navy that exists for some reason at this moment, although that could change very rapidly because Israel has not decided to blast them into the f****** water at this point. What are they going to do? Are they going to take the hulks of their destroyed ships and sink them to the bottom of the straight so that it's like a speed bump for other boats that are trying to go across it? If you think that they're going to set up some type of situation where they are blockading the streets of Hormuz with their ships, they won't even get them out of the f****** harbor before they get destroyed. This isn't even an argument that is worthy of discussion at this point. They would have more success getting a bunch of those little flotation tubes on Amazon and that you use to float in the pool and uh floating around in the streets of Hormuz that way a higher likelihood of survival probably at that point. So again goals as far as Iran and the United States should be decimate completely the IRGC, destroy everything associated with the IRGC, wipe out the army, wipe out the navy. The one thing that would help the people to rise up against the current rulers of Iran is if you think about it, what is the biggest indicator that you have a governmental presence in your area? It's the presence of for us in the West, it's probably police or military. So, any tiny military outpost needs to be completely destroyed. Drop a 500 lb, 2,000lb bomb, whatever. Take care of those things. If you do that all across the nation, if people are walking out of their homes and there's no collective point where police or the army or any kind of military can gather because it's been destroyed. That will dramatically increase the likelihood that people are going to rise up and actually do something about this. Also, one of the most important things that I don't hear talked about very much at all is you can completely annihilate their economy. 40% of their economy is based off of oil. Destroy all of their oil fields. Wipe them off the f****** planet. If you do that, it will immediately annihilate the economy of Iran, which is already a shambles, by the way, as a result of all of the sanctions that have been placed on it by the world for all of its years of not following through with the nuclear agreements that they've made and also in supporting uh terrorism throughout the world. Destroying those oil fields will completely eradicate their economy and utterly destroy them financially. Wars are won more financially than they are anything else. This is the same thing that should be done with Russia. This is why it's wonderful when the Ukrainians attack Russian refineries and the oil infrastructure in the country. That is the primary way that you can help to assure the destruction of your enemy and you winning the battle. Destroy them economically. This is how we broke the USSR in the late 80s, early 90s. Also, this is probably not going to happen again in our lifetime. I mean, the the last attack on any kind of Iranian nuclear facility was many, many years ago. And so, it's not like this is going to happen over and over again. The way that the world works, Israel, and especially the United States, if it's full of pussies like it currently is now, is never going to continuously attack Iran over and over and over again. Right? We need to make this right right now. We need to destroy Iran utterly at this point because we're not going to have an opportunity to for many, many years or decades in the future. We have to finish the job. At this point, we should not hesitate at all when it comes to potentially nuking their nuclear sites. There are bombs that can be dropped that we can dial in nuclear yields on them that will flatten the mountains that their nuclear facilities like Fordo are built under. It can utterly destroy those things. We shouldn't hesitate at all in order to annihilate those places with nuclear bombs if necessary. Also, If I was the Israelis right now, here's what I would do. No one is talking about Gaza right now. Nobody's talking about it. This is the time where you should have your forces absolutely shove them into the Sinai at that point. Shove them over the border. Put them into uh Syria if need be. Shove them into the Sinai. Let Egypt f****** deal with them. I would hit Gaza as hard as absolutely possible at this point because the world's focus is no longer on Gaza at this point. Utilize that. in order to destroy them. Shove the Gazins out, wipe Hamas off the face of the planet, do everything you need to in in order to utterly break them and destroy them. One other thing of note is that throughout these exchanges, since Iran and Israel have been firing at one another, it's noteworthy that Iran is using ballistic missiles to attack specifically civilian centers in Israel. You can see the attacks every single day when they come through. Unfortunately, there's missiles that slip through every single day and It's relatively rare that they're hitting military sites. They are hitting large urban areas, destroying things like apartment buildings, hospitals. One of the hospitals they hit, they lied and said that there was Israeli tanks parked underneath. Sorry guys, we're not Hamas over here. That's that's not what we do. This is not Gaza. Israel, on the other hand, is focusing specifically on not even like the greater army, but IRGC specifically and then leadership as well. The way that they are targeting people is completely different. It follows along with the Muslim mindset of going to war against an entire people versus trying to break them down systematically like the Israelis are doing. All right, just a side update here. Of course, right after I record this and have been editing it, Trump decides to drop bombs on Fordo and several other nuclear sites in Iran. Good on him for actually stepping up and finally doing something. thing. He's still a p**** and needs to follow through more. But uh I'll end that for now. With that, my rant is over for the day. I'll talk to you next week. Remember, war is the answer, death to monsters. I'll talk to you next time. Bye.
