Oh Boy!
Centuries of world history has repeatedly demonstrated,
“A little respect goes a long way!”
As always, DJT was not bluffing. Once again, he has been foolishly underestimated by our craven enemies, both foreign and domestic.
As expected, destruction of Iran’s military capabilities during initial strikes, and of specific individuals within its current regime’s political and military leadership, has been amazingly precise and severe, but few details have emerged as yet. Continuing military action likely to go on for weeks, maybe longer.
Iran’s retaliatory military response, directed at US military assets in the region and at the Nation of Israel, has been confused and feeble, at least so far.
Our Republican politicians are supportive of DJT’s initiative.
Predictably, a few Democrat/socialist politicians (particularly the appreciable cadre of radical Islamists among them) have categorically condemned this current military action. But, the vast majority of Democrats are uncharacteristically silent, shyly waiting to see where the chips fall.
To the surprise of no one, our leftist media is generally unsupportive, cynically disparaging American military capabilities while simultaneously mouthing dire warnings about Iran’s.
Mullahs and their enforcers are already calling for Islamists to “lash-out” against Christians and Jews across the world. Thus, organized, retaliatory domestic terrorism remains a distinct possibility here, so my recommendations (mostly unchanged from “ordinary times”):
1) Remain alert, aware, mobile, self-contained.
2) Keep in-touch with friends, family, colleagues, neighbors
3) Don’t travel unnecessarily
4) Stay tuned-in to current developments.
5) Keep your gas-tank full.
6) Have adequate reserves of cash, food, water, medications, flashlight(s), batteries
7) Have Trauma Kit(s) readily available
8) Stay far away from crowds, particularly political/religious events, protests, demonstrations, riots
9) Don’t linger in dangerous places. When possible, immediately exit unsafe areas/circumstances.
10) Go armed. Have always on you, and nearby, what you need to hold-out for a while.
