    1. How about giving them extra to just finish the job? It will save money in the long run. Then the Middle East can experience peace and prosperity. The rest of the Arab world seems willing now with only the mullahs in Iran needing attitude adjustment.

    2. So you think that cutting US federal spending by 0.09% would be some sort of magic elixir?

      US Non-Defense Discretionary Spending every 3 weeks is more than total aid to Israel over the past 10 years.

  1. Every time the Iranians launch missiles and/or drones, that many IRGC members should be taken out.

    Or maybe double that number.

    1. Just like this:

      “It started so simply, as these things do, with a barrage of Iran’s patented Totally Ceasefire Missiles™ that Israel knocked out of the sky. It ended, if that’s the right word, with Israeli airstrikes taking out Iran’s top two leaders. That’s a big win, even if one of them was already mostly dead.”

  2. The one imperative for the end of all of this is that we get all of the enriched uranium Iraq has/had. All of it. Without it, we don’t know whether Iran already has an atomic bomb. And if they have one, the world will change dramatically, probably on July 4th, 2026.

    They bragged about having 460 kg of 60% uranium 235, enough for 11 atomic bombs. The idiot news media, believing that only 90% U-235 is “weapons grade”, thinks that they are still far away from having the bomb. A recent paper on crude terrorist nuclear bombs shows that 40 kg of 60% U-235 is optimum for a weapon of at least 1 kt yield. 460/40 = 11.5, so the bragging was real.

    These would be too heavy to deliver by a missile, but would be deliverable by shipping container. Or by business jet, and not dropped. Don’t forget that these people wear vests loaded with explosives to take out the infidel.

    And, like Little Boy, a gun assembly atomic bomb wouldn’t need to be tested in advance. And like Little Boy, it could be manufactured by several different plants, none of which knew what they were building.

    I’m very nervous about this, and am fairly certain that it was the impetus for the launch of the war. My other sources are dubious, but they aren’t as knowledgeable about atomic weapon design as I am. That 1 kt yield assumes an amateur terrorist bomb builder. No neutron initiator, which makes the difference between a 1 kt and a 12 kt bomb. And it ignores fusion boosting, which could give a 100 kt bomb…easily. The Iranian nuclear people aren’t stupid.

  3. Not a fan of IRAN/IRGC, but we were and are not prepared for this conflict.

    “So let’s look at the way the US lost the most recent round of its war with Iran:

    Regime change failed
    Nuclear prevention failed
    Defense of Arab bases failed
    Defense of Israel failed
    Destruction of military capabilities failed
    Strait of Hormuz blocked
    (I add: Expended major percentage of munitions not quickly replenished. Reveal the weakness of our readiness in major Naval combatants and policy/doctrine).

    About the only thing the US did successfully was to not lose any warships. Which, one notes, could have much more easily been accomplished by not sending them to the Persian Gulf in the first place. And not only did the USA fail in its objectives, but it ended the conflict worse off than when it began.”
