The first reaction of the Trump Derangement Syndrome chattering class was to ignore the brilliance of the most sophisticated and and devastating military attack in history, and to immediately call for impeachment, before any credible battle damage assessment could be completed.
This extreme bias not only misses the most important points, but it is also counterproductive to America’s future safety.
Why? The impeccable timing and coordination between the cruise missiles coming from our submarines, the B-2 bunker busters in concert with the USAF F-22 and Israeli F-35 escorts, and the numerous fuel resupply tankers set a new standard for military planning and execution anywhere in the world, at any time.
The MSM’s rapid doubts and complaints play to America’s enemies, many of whom might have missed the most important points:
—Russia & China have taken note that if they cross Trump’s red lines, he will obliterate their strongest weapons.
—America’s ‘peace through strength’ maxim has been credibly restored.
—Should Iran be foolish enough to restart their quest for a nuclear weapon, the US has demonstrated it is willing and capable to end it again.
—The Middle East is far safer today without Iran’s nuclear threat, than at any time in the previous 45 years.
It’s time for all patriotic Americans to stand proud and tall as the Trump administration continues to restore freedom to a world torn apart by endless wars and weak political leadership.
