NEW SUPREME LEADER OF IRAN CHOSEN

MOJTABA KHAMENEI SELECTED NEW LEADER

By: Derek Varsalona

Iran clerics have selected their new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.  He is the son of the former leader, Khamenei.  President Trump has vowed to assassinate this leader, also.

That is just the problem with America.  We try to take out leaders that America disagrees with.   President Trump said he wanted to select the new leader of Iran.  However, it is not President Trump's decision to make.  Nor is it the American public's decision to make.  The new leader should have been chosen by the Iranian people, not the elite clerics of the nation.

America has always had a problem.  Our problem is that we nation-build so much, and the Iran conflict is no different.  We tried to nation-build in Iraq.  It has been decades since Saddam Hussein's assassination by the Americans.  Now, Iraq is in civil war, and American forces should be removed from Iraq.  With that being said, America should not be in Iran either.  Israel is well capable of fighting Iran on their own.

The problem is America loves to nation-build.  But what Americans and their politicians do not understand is that who Iran selects for their leader is none of America's business at the current time.

Due to this needless war with Iran, crude oil prices are soaring.  President Trump is making life more expensive for the American people.  America had no right to attack Iran.  At the time of the attack, Iran was no threat to America.  I think I can safely say now that Iran is America's number one enemy as of right now, and that is shameful.  As always, comments accepted.

IRAN'S ARMY CAN FIGHT FOR MONTHS

AMERICA'S OCCUPATION OF IRAN

By: Derek Varsalona

Iran claimed it can fight the Great Satan, America, and Little Satan Israel for months.  As I warned, America needs to be in this for the long haul.  I am against the American occupation of Iran.  Although Iran does pose a threat now, it was not a great threat before the war in Tehran that America is needlessly involved in.

Israel has brought the fighting to Lebanon. I do not see Lebanon as a threat.  But the Little Satan, Israel, is trying to expand its might.

This is America's unjust war in Iran.  We have no business being in Iran other than wanting to take Iran's oil supply by stealing it for ourselves.  Iran claims it has the willpower to fight for half a year. 

America should never have gone into Iran in the first place.  Israel must put on their big boy pants and start fighting without the help of the United States.  As always, comments are accepted.

TRUMP'S WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

FULL FLEDGED WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

By: Derek Varsalona

Due to President Trump's unjust war in Iran, the entire Middle East is now in crisis mode.  Over the weekend, Israel fully attacked Iran in what they call is a self defense.  I do believe Israel that they are defending themselves.

What I fear the most about Iran is that they are going to have a September 11, 2001, style attack on the American homeland or at least on American interests.   I do not support this war in Iran.   But now that we are in this war, America must win and finish the job.

The problem with this war is that the terms of a win is not clearly defined.  I am afraid that with a war with Iran, we are going down the road of another Iraq.  The fact of the matter is as I said at my dinner table Friday night, that America has never met a war it didn't like, even going all the way back to the American Revolution.

The fact is that Republicans love war.  War is good for business on the defense contracting side of things.  But this war with Iran is horrible for the American consumer.  Gasoline and oil prices are going to go up if they have not done so already.  Just when America was getting its inflation under control, I do think that the war in Iran is going to send oil prices northward through the roof.  As of right now the world economy is in tatters.  We have a fledgling economy right now that is on the brink, right now thanks to President Trump's unjust war in Iran.

Israel has not made the situation any better.  They have hit the Iranians hard with a fresh attack.  Let Israel fight the Great Satan Iran on their own terms.  American blood should not be shed or spent in defense of Israel.

Due to the war in Iran, commercial planes have been destroyed.  This is a direct attack on American commerce.   As of right now, oil futures are up for Monday morning.  Again, this is a needless war, and needless American precious blood is being spent in America's quest to democratize the Middle East. As always, comments accepted.

AMERICA'S NEEDLESS WAR WITH IRAN

US-IRAN WAR WIDENS TO THE REGION

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump's illegal war with Iran has reared its ugly head to a further regional war within the Middle East.  A USA Warplane has crashed in Kuwait, another needless American death has occurred due to President Trump's bonehead decision to invade Iran.  The Kuwait armed forces mistakenly shot down an USA fighter jet.

President Trump's unjust war with Iran is turning out to be a bad thing both politically and  economically for the United States.  Watch for oil prices to spike during this week asa result of the war with Iran.  I do believe that America is less safe today than it was a week ago.  This is a direct result of the war with Iran.

A USA war plane has needlessly crashed in the country of Kuwait.  This is another service member dead due to President Trump's boneheaded move.  The Kuwait armed forces mistakenly shot down a US fighter Jet.  This is just another American life needlessly killed due to President Trump's unjust war with Iran.

So far, the attack campaign against Iran is turning out to be a nightmare for President Trump.  I hope for a better situation to occur, but I am realistic.  The entire world's national security is at risk due to President Trump's move.  Watch for oil prices to skyrocket.  As always, comments are accepted.

FOUIIR SERVICE MEMBERS NEEDLESSLY DIE

FOUR US SERVICE PERSONNEL NEEDLESSLY DIE

By: Derek Varsalona

Right now, at least four US service personnel lie dead due to President Trump's unjust war on Iran.  Again, these service people did not have to die, and they did not die in vain.  They died due to President Trump's cowardly act of aggression against Iran.

At the time, Iran posed no threat to the United States before the attack on Iran.  Since the useless attack, Iran now poses the greatest threat o man kind.   Six service members are now dead due to President Trump's misjudgment.  All six of the fallen were members of the reserve unit stationed in Saudi Arabia.  There are at least four people confirmed dead at the time this article was written.

I am afraid and sad to say it, but U.S. wars are indeed good for business, especially in the defense industry.  As we all know, America has a history of invading other nations when it is not our business to attack them.  Due to America's involvement in Iran the American Ambassador Wilson Dilworth's life.  I fear this can turn out to be another Benghazi, and it does not seem like President Trump gives two craps about it.  As always, comments are accepted.

US EMBASSY ATTACKED IN RIYADH SAUDI ARABIA

DRONE HITS US EMBASSY IN SAUDI ARABIA

By: Derek Varsalona

There are consequences to fighting unjust wars like the one America is fighting in Iran.  The lates casualties is the people inside the Embassy of America in Riyadh,  Saudi Arabia.  Again, I stress this is a needless war that is of President Trump's own making.  America needs to stop nation-building.  America needs to understand that not everyone agrees with our way of life.

I do support more democracies around the world.  People who think like Americans are less likely to attack America.  But a Democracy should come from the ground  floor up instead of at the barrel of a gun.  I am afraid that this war is going to be long.  It is an unjust war.  Americans must now have a state of war frame of mind.

Iran has hit the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  They took out the Embassy in a drone strike, which landed a direct hit.  Since the start of the American occupation in Iran and the unjust war, 787 Americans have lain needlessly dead.  Two drones have hit the American Embassy in Riyadh.

Again, this is an unjust war of America's own making.  America did not need to go to war with Iran.  But now that we are in the war, I support American troops who are giving their lives for America's freedom.  However, I do not support this needless war in Iran.  I think thisIran war is going to be America's longest war.  I support our troops in harm's way.  On the war with Iran, I do not support President Trump.  As always, comments accepted.
