Retired soldier/LtCol Swedish Air Force, views are my own.









"In a final twist after the weapons officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airmen, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into Iranian hands." -NYT



Vi önskar dig en glad påsk och fina dagar med nära och kära! 💐🐥



Did President Trump know his approval rating could drop if he approved Operation Epic Fury? YES. Did he know it could split his base? YES. Did he know some people would blame Israel? YES. Did he know the media and Democrats would try to sabotage the operation politically? YES. Did he know oil and gas prices might temporarily rise? YES. Was he probably advised not to do it? Very likely. Did he receive the same intelligence briefings every President has received for the past 47 years? YES. So the real question is not what did he know? The real question is: Why did he do it anyway? COURAGE. The same courage that made him stand up in Butler after being shot and say: “Fight, Fight, Fight.” The same courage that made him run for re-election after: ~ Two impeachments ~ Endless investigations ~ FBI raids ~ Court cases ~ Media attacks every single day ~ Being banned from social media ~ Assassination attempts ~ Political lawfare designed to bankrupt and imprison him Most politicians protect their approval rating. Most politicians protect their career. Most politicians follow the polls. Most politicians do what is safe. Leaders do what they believe is necessary, even when it is unpopular. Trump is not a politician. He is a leader. And leaders don’t make decisions based on polls. They make decisions based on what they believe is right for the country - even if it costs them politically. That’s the difference.
