Even if the bumbling Biden decides to prostrate himself before the Iranian mullahs, looks like the IDF is preparing to get the job done.
Interestingly, I suspect they will have a lot of help from the Saudis and other Gulf States. No one, outside of Obama era holdovers and the mullahs want Iran to get the bomb.

It is unfortunate that the U.S. cannot commit to the ‘long game’. Israel’s ally is “with them” for four years and then they’re thrown under the bus when a new administration comes in.
Communists (both Russia and China) are patient and committed to the long game. They have been working at the destruction of the U.S. since Lenin. They sow their poison into American culture and can wait for generations for their fruits to blossom. Iran is also aware of the “hot & cold”ness of American resolve which is why they ‘laid low’ during the Trump administration and now they can push their agenda forward.
Great points Art, thanks. I totally agree with you on strategic vision, i.e. we lack it completely and it falls to the whim of whoever is in power. Would be nice if we could get a bi-partisan document that lays out the strategic priorities of the US. The military, State et al would have to sign off on it and day-to-day policy decisions could be bounced up against it. The document would be totally transparent so all Americans would have buy-in. If a consensus emerges that the national strategy needs to change, we would have that dialogue not just mindless party based chatter.
Among the significant majority of American voters, I’m sure there is a consensus that we should be tough on Iran and deny them nuclear weapons through at least sanctions if not direct military action. The globalist elite doesn’t really share that opinion; they want Iran to go nuclear. Unfortunately swings in party power tend to happen for many non ideological reasons, so the globalists get their time in power to implement their schemes even though all the voters really wanted was a $2000 check (now discounted to $1400, suckers). Notice how when the left’s plans are put straight to the people they are rejected, e.g. California (!) voters rejecting propositions that permit race based discrimination. If we voted on policy, Trump’s vs. Biddenharris’, which policies would win? Do we have to ask? The disconnect between partisan voting and the desires of the voters is the fundamental cause of so much of the disunity in our country today. I think the differences between R and D voters is much smaller than the differences between the elite fusion party and the voters. That so much of the political and cultural high ground is held by the former obscures the truth of the matter.
