President Trump has been speaking out against Iran and the Iranian nuclear deal.

But I guess Boeing will be able to send all those aircraft to Iran so Americans can have jobs.

That was one of the outcomes of the much denounced nuclear deal.

I heard 80 planes are on order.

At some point we have to wake up and see those aircraft as delivery systems.

Hate to look at it that way, but what else can you do with a nation that hell bent on insanity.

Iran is just full on confrontational and nuclear weapons obsessed.

That whole region is at risk, and Europe and the U. S. as well as Iran’s missile capabilities grow.

It hasn’t attained North Korea’s status yet, and we mustn’t let it.

Most NY Jews would vote for Hitler if he had a D next to his name, which he did.

The US progressives owe the entire world 8 years of our life’s back. Imagine how different things would have been if Obama backed the green Iranian counter revolutionary movement.

That is an interesting “deal”. Made by Obama. Sanctions will likely kill it at some point. Though a choice Trump may have to make. Boeing has a big backlog without the Iranian order.

“Top American Jewish Official”

What a hoot! The only top “American Jewish Officials” I know are Chuck Schumer, and Dianne Finestein, and they are Marxists, bent on the destruction of our country.

Yeah, Iran. Everything is Iran. Nevermind Sunni Saudis and Sunni isis and Sunni boko harem and Sunni 9/11, Paris, Nice, London, Madrid, Ft Hood, San Bernardino, the Pulse, Boston, etc.

Iran is a pain, but they are also a scapegoat.

I think Mr. Hoenlein is a very important official and his travels to Arab-Muslim countries and Israel at the same time should clue us all into the fact that Israel seeks Arab-Muslim partners for its anti-Iran policy.

I would call Malcolm Hoenlein a ‘point man’ for what many call the “Israel Lobby”.

Hoenlein has been refining his anti-Iran message lately regarding Syria and Iranian presence there.

Last Thursday night Israeli aircraft bombed an airport in Syria where Iranian planes land with supplies for Iranian and Hezbollah forces fighting for Assad against the jihadists in Syria.

Malcolm Hoenlein is a regular guest on the “John Batchelor Show” heard at 9pm Eastern on a number of radio stations with podcasts available online.

He was in Morocco the other week. Many Moroccans have migrated to the Netherlands disrupting that country’s traditions and culture. The impact of their presence has been heavily criticized by Geert Wilders.

Wilders, who lived and worked in Israel for two years, was trashed as “Anti-Semitic” during the recent election campaign.

When you diss people from a country that works with Israel against Iran, promoting the “glorious Arab Spring” (Sarc) I strongly believe, they call you an “anti-Semite”.

Mr. Hoenlein should interest all of us interested in ferreting out the truth of the Arab Spring including the street revolt in Iran that came before it and the street revolt in Ukraine that came after it.

Saudi Arabia’s probably only second to North Korea in weirdness and makes Iran look almost enlightened in comparison.
In Iran as repressive as that place is, there are Jews and Christians who live and worship there. Women can drive and vote.

Iran could go western again quickly and almost did in 2009. Saudis never will.

Israel and the United States, Western Europe etc. have a common problem-large debts.

Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arabs have lots of money.

A key to understanding why what happened since 9/11 has happened up through the “Arab Spring”?

I dare to predict that once Iran is dispatched, the money men in the room from the Muslim-Arab nations will expect Israel to go with the ‘two-state solution’ and force a lot of Jews out of their homes to accommodate the “Palestinian state”.

You know what, he did back terrorist groups in Libya, and Syria, calling them Freedom Fighters or some such, after denying the Iranians support for the same thing.

The guy wasn’t even consistent.

I have asked this before and never quite received a satisfactory answer.

In the great Islamic civil war between Sunni Arabs and Persian Shia, why does the US take the Sunni Arab side?

The Iranians are an educated people, who allow a degree of freedom of religion as well as allowing women a degree of freedom. Iran’s people are on the whole western in their outlook.

Furthermore Iran has not launched a terrorist attack (to the best of my knowledge) against the US in a quarter of a century.

The Sunni Arabs on the other hand are backward, intolerant head choppers who finance and support the worst extremes of Islamist horrors, they oppress ruthlessly other religions and women and most importantly organised and carried out the attack on 9/11.

So why on earth does the US back the Sunni Arabs, most notably that dreadful desert kingdom Saudi Arabia, against the Iranians and the Shiites?

Is it something to do with Israel?

Sunni's are not our friends but Iran is driving toward nuclear weapons, to be used against Israel. This is an Israeli point of view. Try to keep up.

Agreed with your observations. And don’t mistake me, Iran is straight up bad guys. But I cant understand venom for Iran, and waxing on about our dear Saudi friends.

The Sunnis have the bomb, they are in Pakistan. There are about 120 of them so stop your hyperventilating. Also, the Israelis have at least 80. And theirs are modern and deliverable in modern systems.

Iran isn’t going to nuke Israel. Iran wants a bomb for exactly one reason. The saw Saddam hang, Khadaffi killed in the streets, and Osama shot up in Pakistan. They correctly assess that nobody will attack someone who has a bomb.
It makes you safe from western invasion that has become vogue. That’s about it.

Try to keep up sport.
