Netanyahu, I believe, is a sick individual. In 2024, in his Knesset speech, Netanyahu said: “I’ve been warning about Iran for 30 years.” It was reported on March 3rd, during a visit to a site struck by an Iranian missile, Netanyahu stated: “We read in this week’s Torah portion, ‘Remember what Amalek did to you.’ We remember—and we act.”
In 1 Samuel 15:2-3, God gives King Saul a specific, direct order to carry out this command. The prophet Samuel relays the message: “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. ‘”
The harshness of the command in 1 Samuel has disturbed Jewish scholars for centuries, leading to various interpretations that move beyond a literal call for genocide. If Netanyahu believes that genocide is the command of God, that is NOT in the self-interest of the United States. He knows you cannot accomplish regime change from the air. This is the very first time when we are in a partnership with another country who is really calling the shots here where the interests of Netanyahu are by no means the same national interest of the United States.
This Iran War is Netanyahu’s war, not America’s. He is consumed with hatred and he will NEVER stop because he sees only total annihalation of Persia. This has been an ancient feud that goes back thousands of years. We should NOT be involved because Netanyahu will NEVER accept peace so this war will NEVER see a resolution while it is draining the resources of the USA leaving the country vulnerable on a grand scale. The US can be defeated conventionally because of Netanyahu.
Let me make this very clear. The US has bombed the hell out of Iran to the point that the stockpile of conventional weapons has been seriously depleted. I warned from the outset, if I was on the other side of the table, I woud use this war to drain the US as we have used Ukraine to weaken Russia. There is no way to win this war. Iran cannot be bombed into oblivion. Sources familiar with internal data state that the US has fired a vast number of its most advanced long-range missiles. Reports suggest that almost ALL of the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and the newer PrSM have been used during the campaign. These are costly, land-based missiles valued at well over $1 million each.
It would take boots on the ground to secure the Strait of Hormuz meaning you ust occupy 50 miles indland on each side of the Strait permanently. Anyone who is NOT biased can see Netanyahu has dragged us into his endless war trying to fulfill 1 Samuel 15:2-3.
The Persians captured Marcus Crassus, a member of the Triumvirate with Caesar and Pompey, at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC. As the legend goes, he was famous as the wealthiest man of Rome, so the Persians poured molten gold down his throat to kill him. The symbolic message was “you thirsted for gold, now drink it.” Then in 260AD, they were the first to capture a Roman Emperor Valerian I in 260AD.
Even during the civil war that followed the assassination of Julius Caesar, Cassius sent Quintus Labienus to join with the Parthians during the civil war asking for their help against Octavian and Mark Antony. They did not arrive in time. Yet, this coin issued by Labienus showed a Persian horse on the reverse.
The Romans were NEVER able to conquer the Persians. They have always been a proud and formidable enemy. Sorry, but I warned that I did not see a change in the government until 2027. The risk here is that they have shifted the real power from the Ayatollah to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is an elite military and security force in Iran, established after the 1979 revolution. It was created by Ayatollah Khomeini to protect the new Islamic system from both internal and external threats, serving as a powerful ideological counterweight to Iran’s regular army.
Today, the IRGC is much more than just a military branch. It has evolved into one of the most powerful institutions in Iran, often described as a “state within a state” due to its immense influence over the country’s military, political, and economic spheres. To be part of that they must be the hardline believers. This is far more difficult to negotiate with than an Ayatollah assuming he is even alive. Of course, Netanyahu smiles and claims the Ayatollah is dead as if that is some victory.
Lucius Verus invaded Persia, claimed a victory after sacking two cities. As the Roman army withdrew from the East, it brought back more than just victory. The soldiers carried a lethal disease, which became known as the Antonine Plague. The plague had a catastrophic impact on the Roman Empire. It raged from 165 to 180AD and is estimated to have killed 5 million people, with mortality rates in the army and cities reaching as high as 15% in some areas. In Rome itself, the plague was so severe that it is reported to have caused up to 2,000 deaths per day at its peak. It Even Killed an Emperor: In 169 AD, Lucius Verus himself died from the plague, becoming one of its most high-profile victims.
