Iran is a threat, and so is the DNC - Matthew G. Andersson

 

by Matthew G. Andersson

If Democrats win in the midterms and take the White House in 2028, our enemies' agendas will rule.

 

When Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with President Trump this week in the White House, many issues will be on the table.  

One of those issues should be the importance of maintaining political continuity in the United States, now that it is on the right track.  

Because, if the Democrats makes gains in the midterms, and get control of the House, and the purse, and if they get back in the White House in 2028, their objective will be to systematically unwind U.S. national and international policy and security.  

Under President Trump, the U.S. is finally asserting itself in tangible, confident and powerful action.  

The conflict with Iran is at a critical juncture, and if it fails, or worse, results in turmoil, which the progressive left is banking on, in order to create domestic political capital, it will turn Iran, and its radical anti-American ideology into an ally, a cause, and a weapon, for U.S. domestic factionalism and unrest, which is the DNC’s signature strategy

The GOP is currently funded at a large margin over the DNC.

American companies, and American technology entrepreneurs, appear to appreciate the industrial and economic path that the country is now on, but they have to stand firm against the agenda they were lured into by the Obama and Biden administrations concerning racial activism, unqualified welfare, and deceptive programs like the “green new deal.”  

But there is another psychological element that could supercharge a DNC comeback.

In 2004, author Wolfgang Schivelbusch wrote “The Culture of Defeat,” where he chronicled how losing nations create a mass culture of revenge ideology.  The Nazi party is an example, where it based its appeal on “rising from the ashes,” creating a “payback” narrative after WW1, while also casting that mass appeal in racial, ethnic and religious terms.

The progressive left in the U.S. is especially eager to frame a comeback in those same terms.  

That means that failure is not an option in America’s new posture of military strength and resolve.  

Failure is exactly what the DNC is obsessed with, because failure appeals to the mass psychology of not only its urban base, but to the millions of illegal migrants that swarmed into the country and were transported to those same concentrated cities.

If radicals like Hakeem Jeffries in the House, Corey Booker in the Senate, along with other anti-American fundamentalists like Minnesota’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar; New York’s AOC, and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani build a growing political bloc, it will reverse current Middle East policy, freeze military modernization, radically increase social spending, and seek to realize its fantasy, in the shadow of Obama, of transforming the United States into a pacifist, socialist state.

There is some speculation that Rahm Emanuel will seek the 2028 DNC nomination.  That could be just as dangerous, as it means the Obamas and their entourage are back, again, in the White House.

This makes the Iran conflict into something more than what partisan critics inaccurately call a proxy war for Israel: it is part of a series of stakes for U.S. resources, national security, defense modernization, military operational fitness, and the positive feedback this creates in American industrial development and economic growth.  

Iran is domestically unstable under its aging ruler Ali Hosseini Khamenei, but conflict failure can turn him into a new cult symbol of revenge activism that is absorbed and amplified by the current DNC party.  

Some critics claim that Russia and China will come to Iran’s aid.  That is not likely in operational terms.  There is no love lost between Iran and Russia, and China will not be distracted from Taiwan and the Australasian sphere.

That brings up one other key risk to current political continuity.  

University of Chicago political science professor, John Mearsheimer, has made a career criticizing the Israel lobby, AIPAC.  But it is merely one of hundreds of lobby groups seeking to advance its interests in a marketplace.  And while the DNC may be gratuitously open to its viewpoints, it can also completely shun them because they have another sponsor that is eager to make transformational inroads into U.S. domestic politics: China.  China is the DNC’s national role model: one party, absolute control, economic nationalization, social credit system, mass surveillance, and absolute censorship. And China can dwarf other funding sources, while destabilizing American monetary policy. 

A volatile mix of potential international revenge ideology, coupled with a radical domestic socialist agenda, backed by a resurgent Iran and expanding China, puts current U.S. foreign and military policy into a fail-safe imperative.  But the best fail-safe strategy is redundancy — and victory.
