The Left’s hysterical opposition to the War | Victor Davis Hanson
Yes it’s true. Hatred of Trump trumps love of country. Trumps patriotism. Trumps the hope of destroying a clear and present threat from religious fanatics.
I find it disturbing and disgusting. I remember how political differences used to be about tax rates and health policy. It used to be about policy and policy differences. Which were debated in the halls of Congress. Now it’s about hating Trump. It’s paid protesters on the streets. It’s regular violence. It’s open calls for the murder of Donald Trump. Which I thought was a felony.
Victor Davis Hanson, calm professorial historian, ponders the questions. He talks of the hypocrisyod the Left over this war. If it were prosecuted by Obama, the media and the Left would be swooning and cheering it on. As they did with his bombing in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
There is no doubt in my mind, in my following of politics in America, that big chunks of Democrats have become openly, even proudly, violent and anarchical. During the “mostly peaceful” No Kings protests last Saturday, I saw sprayed onto the walls of a Federal Building: “Kill your local ICE agent”, followed by the the Anarchist sign. Nothing was done. Nothing.
They hid this about Israel | Daniel Greenfield
Iran has been at war with the United States for near,y fifty years. It’s just that the United States didn’t deign to recognise it. Save for words, from president after president. “We must deal with Iran and all options are on the table”. Except they weren’t. Just talks, sanctions and deals that were immediately broken by the Mullahs.
Until Trump. Who really did have all options in the table. Which makes me realise the reason for calling the operation “Epic Fury”. You tweak the tail of the lion often enough, he turns on you with fury. Epic Fury. Because it’s taken so long to build.
Daniel Greenfield is correct approximately 100% of the time! According to my understanding in 20 years now of studying Islam, its theology, its ideology, its caliphate ambitions: he’s spot on.
I used to follow the late David Horowitz, Daniel’s predecessor and founder of the Centre Daniel now runs. Horowitz used to be a Marxist. Who changed when he understood the damage Marxism had done tomfgw world. I always identified with that, as I’d also had an eye opening time when I went to live in Cultural Revolutionary China in the 70s and saw what extreme leftism, Marxism, Maoism had done to China.
Daniel covers a lot in this talk. The current war, Hamas, the a Muslim Brotherhood, Islamophobia, and more:
- Why the media narrative around “genocide” is being pushed
- The real reason the Israel–Palestine conflict isn’t about land
- How universities became hostile to Israel and the West
- Qatar’s influence in American institutions
- Why the UN targets Israel more than any other country
- The growing divide inside the conservative movement
- And what may be driving major voices like Tucker Carlson

Mural Wars
This is crazy. And sad. And disturbing.
And also not all what you’d think?
Also: how does the mural of a beautiful young woman NOT “reflect your values”?

Islamisation of Britain: Complete
Andrew Gold talks to Dave Rubin in Hungary. I've followed Andrew for many years. He's sound; a good analyst.
When I started this blog, 17 years ago, I did a spreadsheet predicting the Islamisation of various countries of Europe. I thought the Scandinavian countries would be first, then Germany and France, then the U.K. And my guess was around the 2050s and 60s.
It's happening now, much quicker than I thought. Much quicker than anyone thought. It's happening right in front of our eyes. There's even talk of civil war.
When Andrew says "I don't know why people didn't see what happened in the Middle East" he's referring to is the Islamic conquests of all those countries.
The Middle East is a lesson. No one learned it.
Except that now a civil war may be imminent in Britain then Europe. Could it be? Or will it just be the crapification of Europe, as happened in all the Islamified countries of the Middle East? Not a one of which was made better by their submission to Allah.
Those Islamic conquests across the Middle East are being replicated in Europe and the U.K.. When the Islamisation is complete, it's the whole Sharia law bit*. Women oppressed and in burkas, minorities oppressed, gays arrested or executed, churches and synagogues closed down, Jews and Christians, and even atheists, like me, driven out.
Grim. Authoritarian. Theocratic. Anti-science. Anti-modernity. Anti-fun.
ADDED: We here in Hong Kong are just fine on that front. We're not about to be Islamified. Our government won't put up with any nonsense on that front, giving in to Muslim demands to "respect Ramadan", or to "ban dogs". No way. And that's a comfort to me in my dotage. To know that we're safe from the ravages of rampant Islam.

“Can Iran really be stopped?” | Max Afterburner
I’ve followed the Max Afterburner channel for some time. And I’ve posted his analysis before. (By the way, “Max” is not Max as in the Mad Max, but Max as in short for “Maximum”. The “Afterburner” being the fighter jet’s booster).
Max Afterburner is Ryan Bodenheimer*, who sets out (0:55) his extensive experience in the U.S. Air Force, and in war, war planning and instruction. It’s extensive.
This is a man clearly proud of his country and its military, but also has a clear-headed view of the difficulties of war. In particular the difficulties of completely suppressing Iran’s IRGC. Which he sees as defaulting to terrorist mode, given its military is essentially destroyed.
The threat from Iran is and was real and explicit. You don’t have to wait, like a tethered goat, for the lion to eat you. You don’t have to wait for the first mushroom cloud to blossom. You don’t have to wait until Iran has so many missiles, so much fortification, so much drone and missile manufacturing capacity, to act. Act is what the U.S. and Israel did. They are supported by 12 Muslim nations! It’s the Europeans (and Australia) who are complicit in appeasement.
I guess this is the first time that Ryan has been on a British YouTube channel, above on Spiked, with Fraser Myers.

Why (and how) does Taiwan make 100% of the world's most advanced chips?
I found this super interesting. As someone living in the region, Hong Kong, right by China Mainland and Taiwan. By “beating” Taiwan, they’re talking of the high-end Chip manufacturing.
Everything you value -- especially your iPhone! -- relies on chips from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
I didn't know how important to the manufacture of consistently high-quality high-tech Chips is the fact that Taiwan is sitting on an Earthquake zone. And has huge storms.

Dear Donald: you can't do that! You can't even say it FFS…
... bombing desalination plants? No, no, no. You CANNOT do that. It's like poisoning the wells.
I get the maximalist thing. I get the wanting the scare the s*it out of your enemies thing. I get the keeping if IRGC leaders off balance.
But, but... this is too much. Really. It gets even your supporters wondering about mental capacities. Knock it off. Please.
Like I'll have any effect... heh. Even his closest advisers, like the very sound and logical Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio, have no effect. I just hope he realises it’s counter productive.
Jay does Tesla. The Semi
Jay Leno is a huge car guy. He owns 180 cars kept in “Jay’s Big Dog Garage”, in Burbank CA, worth some $US 100 million. He’s loves all types of car, from steam engines, to turbines and EVs.
He’s hugely knowledgeable about them.
This Tesla Semi can go 800 km on one charge. And recharge in half an hour. It’s more aerodynamic than a Bugatti Veyron. It cost about 20% less to run than the equivalent diesel truck. It doesn’t slow down when it goes up hills, a big safety feature. Safety is built in to the whole concept, as the two Tesla guys explain.
Trucks are 1% of U.S. traffic, but consume 18% of all diesel. So Tesla trucks are going to reduce that dramatically.
Inside it’s a cool truck. Seat in the middle. Office chair for a travelling office.
Production starts this year. As do Cybercabs. So, a big year for Tesla.
These guys are some of what makes me optimistic about America. While the shenanigans go on in Washington, people are out there doing stuff, inventing stuff, improving stuff, making stuff. Making stuff to make the world better. America’s inventive can-do spirit is exemplified by these guys.
ADDED: Meantime ning nongs in Australia torched a Tesla showroom. These are the retards that thought Elon Musk was a climate hero. Until he used his brain to leave the tribe.
TESLA FSD: Chinese influencer is impressed
Chinese influencer Li Chi flew from China to California for the sole purpose of experiencing Tesla FSD — Full Self Driving— firsthand. Here are his impressions:
“Flew 25,000 km — half the globe — just to personally experience Tesla’s smart driving and compare it with Huawei’s smart driving. “I’ll skip the detailed process and go straight to the conclusion: “Under normal weather and road conditions, Tesla’s vision-based routing is first-class. (I didn’t get a chance to test in foggy conditions). In certain scenarios, Tesla outperforms Huawei. For example, when activating smart driving, Tesla can reverse to avoid a vehicle parked on the left, then go around it and rejoin the road ahead — quite impressive. “Route selection capability is also top-tier. It doesn’t just follow conventional routes but can take shortcuts through residential roads. Acceleration is crisp and decisive, without hesitation… “In short, Tesla FSD is improving very quickly. Physically removing the steering wheel would already present no real obstacles. “ I hope China will soon allow Tesla FSD to operate domestically, enabling earlier adoption of L3 and encouraging competition with local manufacturers.”h/t: @Ray4Tesla
Me: I believe Tesla FSD will soon be allowed here in Hong Kong.
How to end the war? Win it
You don’t win a war by leaving the battle ground. You can claim victory all you want, but the other side is going to say “we outlasted you”. Neither do you win a war by a ceasefire. At best that gives a “frozen conflict” like Korea. But “victory”? That’s when the other side gives up. That’s when you achieve your clearly-stated war goals.
The goals of Operation Epic Fury are clear. No matter how much CNN, BBC, MSNBC and all the rest may repeat “the war aims are not clear”; they are. The president and Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio have stated them repeatedly and clearly. Here they are, from my memory:
1. Destroy the Iranian Army. Tick.
2. Destroy the Iranian Navy. Tick
3. Destroy or decimate the Iranian ballistic missiles system. In progress
4. Destroy the military manufacturing systems, such that 1, 2, and 3 cannot be rebuilt. In progress
The projected result of these four aims >> an Iran that can no longer threaten the region and the world. An Iran that cannot build a nuclear bomb. The Iranian people an opportunity to rise up and build their own government.
ADDED: Marco Rubio sets them out, again, clearly, to George Stephanopoulos of abc's Good Morning America.
These are clear aims. I buy them. So do the vast majority of Republicans and a majority of all Americans.

| Republicans on Iran war and Trump |
I’m speaking here as one who remembers clearly the 2003 invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. In this household we were against both those wars. As Richard Clark, counter-terror czar, said at the time:
“Attacking Iraq after 911 was like attacking Mexico after Pearl Harbour”.
That sure stuck in the mind…
“This time it’s different”. Well, yes, it is. For a start the clearly-expressed aims are convincing. We were never convinced by the WMD excuse for attacking Iraq. We were not convinced by Colin Powell’s pivotal presentation to the United Nations. We were never convinced that “getting” Osama bin Ladin needed a full-scale war in Afghanistan.
Iran, by contrast does have uranium to 60%; it does threaten the region and the world with death and destruction; it has killed thousands of Americans and people of all nations, and hundreds of thousands of its own people; it does support terror proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis; it does have a ballistic missile program aimed at Europe and the United States. It does threaten the world with nuclear annihilation. Even as that would annihilate Iran itself. Its religious lunatics are apocalyptic millenarians, ecstatically happy to be incinerated in a theocratic mushroom cloud.
Let’s also recall that in Iraq we did not lose the war. The war was quickly and convincingly won. We lost the peace. The whole process of “nation building” was ineptly handled; it should never have been attempted. There is no such aim in Operation Epic Fury in Iran.
That’s called “learning from experience”.
Emily Scheader makes my points better than me, in this video, Grok transcript summary below:
Islam really DOES "hate our freedoms"
This was Question number one in the 3.5 hour (!) discussion between Coleman Hughes and Dave Smith some 5 months ago.
Coleman agrees with Dave's opening claim that there's no truth to the idea that Osama bin Ladin and Al Qaeda attacked America on 911 because "They hate our freedoms".
While I'm shaking my head: but it is true!
And I have the proof. The writings of Osama bin Ladin himself.
Look at this quote from bin Ladin:
“For practically everything valued by the immoral West is condemned under Sharia law.”
Isn't that the very definition of hating the "immoral West" for its freedoms?
Bin Ladin's writings were collected and translated by Raymond Ibrahim in his book "The Al Qaeda Reader" (2002). Which I consider -- after my 20 years of reading and following the deeds and depredations of Islam -- to be a must-read for anyone trying to understand motives of the likes of ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, Jihadis in general and, yes, even the Iranian mullahs today.
One of the few who does understand, who's not a Muslim, is Sam Harris. He has written well and trenchantly on the subject. EG: "What do Jihadists really want?", 26 August 2016. And the related post on ISIS.
Meanwhile, Dave Smith's belief that Jihadi Muslims are out to attack the west because of (or mainly because of) what he calls "terrestrial grievances", like the Israel-Palestine issue, colours every bit of his analyses, and ruins many of them.
One way this belief ruins his analysis is that it's western-centric. The idea that if we we fix this or that, then all will be well. No. It's not true.
We can do all the Jihadis demand, attend to all their grievances, and they will still want to kill us (unless we convert). Because that's Islam. That's what Islam demands. That's what the Koran demands. That's what Muhammad o.b.o. his god, demands.
I'm reposting below a piece I wrote here on 25 August 2009. It seems that I was responding a BBC World Service radio program of that day. I talk a lot about Ibrahim and the writings of bin Ladin.
I remember thinking that even if the BBC did nothing about my suggestion, I might educate some of its staffers in the editorial rooms. In this I have clearly had zero impact, for they are more Islamo-philic than ever.
Yet, as I re-read what I wrote 17 years ago, it's just as true today as it was then. It's been true since the birth of Islam 1,400 years ago: Submit or Die, infidel!
The post, 25 August 2009:
If we give away Israel, all will be ok.... (not)
Michael Scheuer claims on BBC Radio International (675 AM Hong Kong) that there is no "corpus of rhetoric" to show that Osama bin Laden “hates the West’s liberty, freedom or our way of life”. If we address Islamic grievances (Palestine, Iraq war, abandon Israel, and so forth) we shall be able to coexist in peace.
In this he is demonstrably wrong. Worse: he is willfully –and therefore deceitfully – wrong for he knows that such writings exist.
Demonstrably wrong:
On freedom, liberty and the West’s way of life:
“For practically everything valued by the immoral West is condemned under Sharia law.” (p.37)
On coexistence:
“Does Islam or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam; either willing submission; or payment of the jizya [tax on non-Muslims]…; or the sword – for it is not right to let the infidel live. The matter is summed up for every person alive: Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam; or die”. (p.42)
In case we miss the point:
“In fact, Muslims are obligated to raid the lands of the infidels, occupy them and exchange their systems of governance for an Islamic system, barring any practice that contradicts the Sharia from being publicly voiced among the people…”. (p.51)
These are clear and unequivocal statements by al-Qaeda, and there are many, many more, authorized or written by bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri. Why does Mr. Scheuer say they “don’t exist”??
Willfully wrong: it would be one thing if Scheuer were ignorant of bin Laden’s writings. But he is not, as evidenced by the debate, in late 2008, with Raymond Ibrahim here. Scheuer says Ibrahim has been “selective”. Well, of course one has to be selective in any “Reader”…. But, as Ibrahim points out, the Reader quotes writings and speeches from al-Qaeda which are directed both at the Muslim world and those directed at the West. In any case, whatever the selectivity, to say that there is no evidence of al-Qaeda hating the West’s freedoms (“hating our MacDonalds” as Scheuer cutely puts it), is clearly false and it is equally clear that Scheuer knows of these writings.
This is too important a topic to leave the last word to Scheuer and his deceit. As Scheuer himself says, it’s a matter of “knowing one’s enemy”. Are al-Qaeda after settling grievances (Palestine, the Iraq and Afghani wars, etc), or are they after world domination of Islamic Sharia? Clearly the former does not preclude the latter. And clearly the latter – suzerainty of Islamic Sharia – is of overarching importance to al-Qaeda and their fellow travellers. To say that it’s only the former (Islamic grievances), as does Scheuer and to ignore the latter (Islamic suzerainty) is surely propagating a dangerous misconception.
I urge the BBC to invite Raymond Ibrahim to put the case that the world view of bin Laden and his cronies includes world-wide Islamic caliphate, under Sharia law.

Operation Epic Fury goes well, but…
Operation Epic Fury goes well, but… The headwinds are strong. All from the loopy Left and ranty Right in the West. Echoing our enemies, Iran, Russia, China.
Western civilisation may never win another war if this keeps up.
This is maddening. The radical left, mainstream media, and the woke right are running the exact same playbook with the US/Israel campaign against Iran as they did with Israel in Gaza.
They create impossible standards in terms of:
- -Zero Casualties
- -Zero Economic Disruption
- -Zero Uncertainty
- -Zero Time to Accomplish the Mission
- -Zero Collateral Damage
And everything the bad guys do is actually our fault because we made them do it….same script as Gaza…the bad guys have no agency and it’s actually our fault.
Day 32 of the Iran war:
- -degraded missile factories, nuclear sites, IRGC bases, and proxy networks
- -the Supreme Leader is gone…and his replacement is s vegetable
- -all the top leadership is gone…in fact, we don’t even know who’s in charge
Yet the all you hear is endless doomerism.
And all of this sounds exactly like the demoralisation propaganda from Russia, China, and Iran, that has infiltrated our society for years via social media and retarded influencers chasing click.
This isn’t responsible skepticism.
It’s weakness…
And you’ll never get peace through strength when the opponent knows you lack resolve and they can just wait you out.
This is madness.
So “How does this war end?”. Answer: by winning. We, America and Israel, have to win. No ceasefire without capitulation.
America Maoism redux
I was in Beijing on 9 September 1976, the day Mao died, as was Xi Van Fleet. So I know exactly what she's talking about. The poverty. The corruption. The oppression. The main food that winter was Chinese cabbage piled high on street corners. All other food was rationed. I needed ration tickets for rice. Ration tickets for cotton. Ration tickets for shoes. Bread didn't exist. You needed permission to travel anywhere. The average urban wage was $25 per month. Farmers much less.
I was a language student. My attempts at essays in my learner's Chinese were graded not just for grammar and character strokes, but for political content. There was correct view and a wrong one.
It was in the socialist China of those days that I learned I didn't much like socialism, let alone communism. Though I tend to treat "socialism" and "communism" pretty much interchangeably. Socialism: bad. Communism: badder.
Socialism in practice, as in China of the 70s, destroyed my lazy-hazy undergraduate chardonna-socialism that I shared with my class mates.
Sadly, though, it's starting again in America. Socialism. Communism. Maoism redux. We see it everywhere.
I've followed Xi Van Fleet for years on X. She's a vocal critic of the CCP. Her grandparents were the Chinese equivalent of Kulaks, small landowners, who had their land confiscated (ie, stolen) by the CCP. Her grandparents were named "Black Faction" members, Hei Pai. And therefore so were her parents, and therefore so was Xi herself. One person in the family is a Black Faction, all the family members are Black Faction. The only escape from the branding was to escape the country.
Talking in the vid above to Adam Carolla, Xi warns of the dangers of resurgent Maoism in America. The only difference from China's of the 60s and 70s being that the divisions between "good" and "bad" -- which in China of the Mao era were class-based, rich or poor, Hei Pai or Hong Pai, Black faction or Red faction -- in America are based on race, or gender, or sexual orientation, or all three. The operatives are the same. The M.O. is the same. Define and name the parties, label one "good", the other "bad", and have at it -- divide the country; go to war. (Joe Biden was pretty good at this. Remember his speech in Philadelphia in October 2024? Where he labelled half the country, Republicans, “near Nazis”?).
With the "good" side, of course, destined to come out on top of the evil "Black faction".
When you look at what's going on in America today, in big chunks of the Democrat party, moving ever Left (the communist hammer & sickle red flag of communism at the "No Kings" protests!), often paid by wealthy donors in America and overseas, can you really say her warnings are not relevant? Are some kind of crazy conspiracy theory?
Meantime, China's Communist Party perseveres, even as China's economy is less socialist and more a kind of crony-capitalism. But, The Party stays in power -- 75 years and counting.
The Party Abides, dude.
ADDED: Some background to the Chinese influencer who's popped up all over the internet recently, Jiang Xueqin.

Gathering of the Narcissistic Nongs: a bit of light relief
This is funny. And also kind of despicable. And pathetic.
The whole thing about this meeting -- by Canada's New Democrats, aka "Democratic Socialists" -- is that it's all pathological narcissism. Every person has some kind of "point of personal privilege". All process; No substance.

Stopping Iran genocidal regime is a “gift to humanity” | Jasem Aljuraid
Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident @JJJuraid, invited by UN Watch:
Mr. Chair,
I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.
Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.
So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?
Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.
What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.
There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.
I don't believe in miracles, but this is one.
So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?
Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.
Thank you.

The fact that you march alongside the Islamic fundamentalist supporters of the ayatollahs - those who stabbed Salman Rushdie in the eye, who hang gays and butcher women, who fire rockets upon Israeli civilians and funded Hamas, who massacred thousands on the streets of Tehran - makes you champions of the most reactionary forces on earth

Things you won't see in the news: 12 Muslim nations denounce Iran
 |
| The Ministers in Riyadh. Pic from the World Socialists site, who are very angry at the Ministers! 🤣 |
The countries:
- Azerbaijan
- Bahrain
- Egypt
- Jordan
- Kuwait
- Lebanon
- Pakistan
- Qatar
- Saudi Arabia(Host)
- Syria
- Türkiye
- United Arab Emirates
Never before today, never before the current situation in the Middle East, have we seen such unity amongst Arab and other Muslim states. Denouncing a rogue, terrorist Muslim state.
Muslim states denouncing Iran. Now, who does NOT denounce Iran and its fanatical terrorists?
1. The mainstream media, all the usual suspects: the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, the New York Times. And all the rest. They don't even acknowledge the Riyadh Statement!
2. All of leftie Europe and the U.K. They do not denounce the Iranian regime. My own Australia is pretty limp as well. The PM, Anthony Albanese is in hock to the Muslim vote.
3. And the Democratic Party is actively hoping for an Iran win, because otherwise, Orange Man Bad would have a win. Can't have that.
Isn't that somehow disgusting?
That the most involved states in the region reach unprecedented unity in denouncing this horrid extremist Shi'a Iranian regime. But no one on the Left in the west can bring themselves to wish for a US and Israel victory, so much do they hate Donald Trump.
A US-led victory, should it happen, will be a victory for the West. Also a beginning of real peace in the Middle East. For if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords, the wars against Israel will cease.
The best summary of the case for war in Iran | Lindsay Graham
Plenty of folks don't like Senator Lindsay Graham. And truth be told I don't much either.
He's called a "warmonger", and not without reason. His critics say: "You won't find a place on this earth that Lindsay wouldn't like to bomb".
Ok. Fair enough.
But... on this issue. On the big one happening right now, on Operation Epic Fury -- to destroy the capacity of the religious lunatics in Tehran to destroy the world in the name of Allah -- on that one issue, talking on the floor of the Senate, he gives as good a summary as I've seen of the case for this war.
A war, by the way, to stop a bigger war, to stop WW3. A war, an Operation, to end the war that Iran declared against Israel and the US, way back in 1979.
Here's a transcript from Grok, of the first five minutes:
Senator Graham:
OK, I'll go ahead and get started.
You're entitled to your opinion. This is a free country. Whether you like President Trump or not is up to you. Your view of the war is up to you, but you're not entitled to your facts. You're entitled to the facts. And here are the facts.
To my Democratic colleagues, I challenge you today uh to prove that I'm wrong.
During the negotiations to find a peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear problem, President Trump sent Steve Woodoff and Jared Kushner to negotiate with the Iranians. They say, Mr. President, all they want is peaceful nuclear power. The Iranians, they've been saying that and they should be entitled to enrich like other countries like us.
A bunch of nations enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. And they claim, why not us? Because you're cheap. The IAEA, not me, not Lindsey Graham. You've have a history of not living up to what you say about your ambitions. That your enrichment facilities are not designed to produce peaceful power, but to produce a weapon.
So during the negotiations, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner offered the Iranians, listen, if you'll give us your highly enriched uranium, we will guarantee you a lifetime fuel supply for free. That you can have all the spent fuel you need to operate a peaceful power program. You don't need to enrich. And if you want to enrich for medical purposes, very limited, fine. But you can't have an enrichment program that would lead to making bomb braid material because you're not reliable.
And I would go a step further.
It'd be like letting Hitler have anything. See the difference between me and I think a lot of people here, maybe most Democratic colleagues, I think these guys are religious Nazis. Miller Hitler wanted a master race. He wrote a book. Nobody believed him. He literally wanted to kill all the Jews and nobody believed him.
The Ayatollah is the same. The the regime is built around a cult of death. They want three things. To purify Islam, they're Shi'ites. Their number one enemy is Sunni Arabs. They think they're they've got the faith wrong, that they're that they're traitors to the faith. They hate Sunnis because they're not true to the faith.
And Saudi Arabia believes it.
So they want to purify Islam, bend it to their will, make every Sunni reject their view of Islam and accept the Ayatollah's view. That's what they say, not me. I believe it.
Number two, they want to kill all the Jews. And they openly say it. They're not hiding their disdain for Israel. They're actually talk about it. They put death to Israel on like milk cartons. These people are serious. and you should take them serious.
Like in the 30s, people didn't want to believe that Hitler meant what he said because they were tired from World War I. And they said, "Oh, he's just all talk. He wants this. He wants that. He wants more German-speaking territory. He's not completely crazy. You know, he's sort of just doing the Hitler thing."
Well, he was completely crazy.
Now, I don't know why he wanted to kill all the Jews. I don't know why Hitler thought the Aryan race is the only pure race on the planet, but a lot of people are dead because we got that wrong. Let's don't do that again. We're playing like World War II never actually happened. And you're rewriting this regime's history from 1979. What have they done until today? What have they done to make you think they don't believe what they say? What behavior have they exhibited that they really do want to be normal?
So during those negotiations when they said no to every offer under the sun, they said something that was a fatal mistake for them. "Oh, by the way, we have 460 kilograms of uranium at 60%".
Cliffhanger, right? Carry on from here if you're interested in the rest. It's a pretty good!
