What are your honest thoughts on recent world events?

Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face, that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand, the ultimatum. And what then, when the Ayatollah has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Iran's decades long Jihad, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he's heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Islam than dead," or as one commentator put it, he'd rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us.

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and Islamic slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin - just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our Iranian enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this - this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits - not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of Islamic darkness.

Elites can't steal from pleb anymore because pleb is too poor so they start to steal from each other, what lead to conflicts and war. This is a destruction and rebuild cycle that has appeared all 100-120 year in history but this time we have toys to destruct ourselves.

oh crap...

what the hell?

ugh... not another one

Those poor unfortunate souls caught up in it... when will this ever end.

I hope for something good to come out of it.

regarding the swedish person murdered in Iran, that's awful. How awful to be pulled asided and executed all alone, no one there to care, body tossed away. Why people go to such dangerous places intentionally is beyond me.

We need to remember the goal is not to conquer iran land +also:

[strateguy632]

I don't see leaders , not even regional leaders trying to attract support for election. It really seems iran citizens are fine with their government funding terrorism that targetted weak civilians. are called accomplice.

If Russia don't calm down soon, WW3 will come for sure.
And Russia is the ultimate villian in all this events.

[In_Trance]

If everyone shut off their TV and social media, you'd have no idea what's going on.

How would you ever know?
Would you care?
