Strategy for a More Tranquil Globe: Aid Israel in Countering Iran and Properly Equip Ukraine with Arms
Let the world watch as Israel has no choice but to wage a relentless war against the Iranian regime, a despicable entity that threatens the entire free world.
The upcoming weeks hold grave implications for the security of the U.S. and the global community.
The pressing issue is whether Israel, with the appropriate American backing, can eliminate Iran's nuclear program entirely. This means not just neutering their dubious uranium enrichment program, but obliterating their ballistic missiles, missile launchers, and their capability to mass-produce drones. Nothing less will suffice.
Before the Israeli attacks, whispers from the Trump Administration suggested they might allow Iran to continue with a peaceful uranium enrichment program, all while the Ayatollahs pretended to dismantle their nuclear bomb efforts. Thankfully, this perceived arrangement appears to be off the table. The Ayatollahs are not businessmen seeking a fair deal; they thirst for blood, especially the annihilation of Israel.
Negotiation chatter should merely serve as a distraction to the core mission at hand: eradicating Iran's nuclear ambitions once and for all.
Israel must also be allowed to deal disastrously with Iranian proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
World leaders, including Xi Jinping and our allies, will keenly observe whether the U.S. has the courage and strategic acumen to realistically counter our adversaries.
This brings us to another critical test: Ukraine. Alarmingly, too many policymakers and observers seem blissfully unaware of the strategic significance of the ongoing conflict.
The U.S. has an unfortunate history of underestimating the true nature of Vladimir Putin. He may seem amiable and eager to collaborate, especially with American presidents. Before George W. Bush finally realized Putin's true identity, he naively stated, "I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy... I was able to sense his soul." Bush's successors haven't fared much better.
Despite his errors – and with Russian casualties now nearing a staggering million – Putin still believes he can win this war. He's convinced that his relentless offensives will wear down the Ukrainians, while earning more and more Ukrainian territory. These territorial gains, Putin thinks, will lead the U.S. to scale back crucial weapons support for Ukraine. Effectively, the U.S. would abandon Ukraine.
Such a withdrawal would be a strategic disaster on par with the 1938 Munich agreement, where Britain and France surrendered Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler.
President Trump's continued flirtation with Putin fuels these concerns. His suggestion that the G7 should become the G8 (with Russia reinstated) or even the G9 (with China included) stirs deep apprehension.
The prudent path is clear: Let Israel dismantle the Ayatollahs, and arm Ukraine sufficiently to thwart Putin's imperialist ambitions, and the world will be a safer, more stable place.
- The upcoming weeks hold significant challenges for the United States and global security, as Israel's mission to eradicate Iran's nuclear program is pivotal.
- Policymakers must pay heed to the strategic importance of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, lest they underestimate Vladimir Putin's intentions like past American presidents have done.
- Allowing Israel to deal decisively with Iranian proxies, while providing Ukraine with adequate weapons support, could pave the way to a safer and more stable world.
