If he wants to use the language of threat … he should talk to me.

-Suleimani statement reported on 7/26/2018

This is not a Warning, it is a Threat.

-Trump tweeted on 12/31/19

You can’t do anything.

-Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted on 1/01/20

He wasn’t talking to you, AK.

Here’s Petraeus:

Key graf:
“…[I]t is impossible to overstate the significance of this action. This is much more substantial than the killing of Osama bin Laden. It’s even more substantial than the killing of Baghdadi.”

quoting from the “Battle of the “Phillipines” wiki —
“Another submarine, USS Cavalla, was able to maneuver to an attack position on the 25,675-ton carrier Shokaku by about noon. The submarine fired a spread of six torpedoes, three of which struck Shokaku on her starboard side. Badly damaged, the carrier came to a halt. One torpedo had hit the forward aviation fuel tanks near the main hangar, and aircraft that had just landed and were being refueled exploded into flames. Ammunition and exploding bombs added to the conflagration, as did burning fuel spewing from shattered fuel pipes. With her bows subsiding into the sea and fires out of control, the captain gave orders to abandon ship. Within minutes, there was a catastrophic explosion of aviation fuel vapor which had built up between decks, which blew the ship apart. The carrier rolled over and sank about 140 miles (230 km) north of the island of Yap. 887 crew and 376 men of the 601st Naval Air Group, 1,263 men in all, were killed. There were 570 survivors, including the carrier’s commanding officer, Captain Hiroshi Matsubara. Destroyer Urakaze attacked the submarine, but Cavalla escaped with relatively minor damage despite near misses from depth charges.”

USS Cavalla (now a museum piece in Galveston, Tx) was commanded by Lt Cmd. Herman Kossler, my next-door neighbor (by then Rear Adm.), 1960-66. A genuine mensch, that one.

The coming non-peace status will be less advantageous for Iran and for terrorists because of Trump’s successful strike.

The Trump “Dayenu”
Trump is unprecedented in the history of the relationship of the United States and Israel and the president is only two years into his administration.

Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, 24/04/19 19:16 | updated: 16:07
his is the Dayenu for President Trump, based on the simple realization that there has never been a president as pro-Israel as Trump, and it is almost unthinkable that there will ever be another.

Let us count the ways, individual acts for which alone we would sing Dayenu, “it would have been enough:”

There are 17 important actions on the Rabbi’s list, and that was last April.
But we are supposed to believe that Trump is an anti-Semite because, um, because, something.

That’s all I have to say about that.
