Sarah Adams spent her career inside the CIA hunting terrorists.
She was in the room during Benghazi. She knows what a real threat looks like.
She sat down with Shawn Ryan, looked straight into the camera, and didn’t flinch.
The NCTC identified 18,000 known and suspected terrorists who entered this country during four years of open borders.
Eighteen thousand.
She’s been sounding the alarm for years. The border stayed open anyway.
They didn’t sneak in.
We left the door open and looked the other way.
That’s what the intelligence community won’t say on camera.

🚨 To Active Duty Marines, Service Members Facing a Moral or Political Dilemma:
Dislike for the Honorable POTUS?
Control the controllables.
Dislike for the Honorable VPOTUS?

The Honorable Elon Musk?
Get over it.
As an NCO, your one priority if war breaks out is crystal clear: Bring your Marines/Soldiers home. Channel your energy into that—not insubordination, not venting in front of your troops, not letting your big mouth become a liability.
We live by “Praise in public, disagree in private” for a reason because tongue holds the power of life and death and that’s the line between leadership and failure.
That’s the difference between you and me—Semper Fidelis 🦅🌎⚓️

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.”

@NatashaCL7 It was accurate; Trump didn’t mean it to be funny. That said, Japan is our strongest ally. We have been partners in the Pacific alliance since 1951 — and what was forged in the ashes of war has become one of the most durable friendships in modern history.

Here is the distinction that the current debate keeps collapsing: grammar is the military domain — how war is waged. Logic is the political domain — why and to what end. The United States military has a grammar of unmatched sophistication. The question before the administration is whether it has the political logic to match. A ceasefire that leaves the Islamic Republic intact is a grammar that served the logic of the regime’s survival — not ours. Clausewitz would recognize it as the pattern he warned against: subordinating political object to military convenience, or worse, to diplomatic fatigue.
Perhaps the most urgent Clausewitzian concern is the culminating point of victory — the moment at which continued offensive action begins to weaken the attacker relative to the defender. The campaign has a window. IRGC reconstitution, Iranian dispersal doctrine, and the geopolitical patience of China and Russia all define that window. The culminating point arrives not when the bombs run out, but when the political will to press the advantage dissipates — in Congress, in allied capitals, in domestic polling. That is the clock the regime is watching. They have read Clausewitz too.
Clausewitz’s final judgment on a campaign like this would be characteristically unsentimental: a war begun must be fought to its political conclusion, or it should not have been begun at all. The Islamic Republic has been at war with the United States since November 4, 1979. The question was never whether to fight — it was whether to acknowledge the war that was already being waged against us and respond with commensurate political purpose. That day has arrived. The grammar is being written in real time. The logic — the durable political order that follows — is still being negotiated. That negotiation is the most important battle being fought right now, and it is not being fought with aircraft.

Clausewitz: The Trinity, the Grammar, and the Logic of What Comes Next
Clausewitz opens On War with the observation that war is not merely a political act but a true political instrument — a continuation of political intercourse carried on with other means. That sentence is the lens through which the Iran campaign must be understood, and it cuts in uncomfortable directions for those who want to simply bomb and declare victory.
Clausewitz’s trinity — primordial violence, chance and probability, and rational political purpose — maps directly onto the current operation. The Iranian people are not the enemy. Decades of regime brutality, Women Life Freedom, the currency collapse, the fuel protests — the population’s animosity toward the Islamic Republic is a strategic asset the United States has chronically underexploited. The grammar of this war must account for that distinction. Bombing that kills civilians converts a potential fifth column into a recruiting pool for the IRGC. The professional execution of strikes on nuclear infrastructure, IRGC command nodes, and Kharg Island logistics is the grammar of the campaign. The U.S. military knows how to do this. That is not the question. The harder question is rational political purpose. What is the political object? If the object is destruction of the Islamic Republic’s governing capacity, that is one war with one set of termination conditions. If the object is merely degrading nuclear capability while preserving the regime, that is not a war — it is an expensive postponement. Clausewitz would recognize the second option immediately: a war fought without a political object commensurate to the violence expended is a war that cannot be won, only paused.
Clausewitz’s Schwerpunkt — the hub of all power and movement, against which all energy should be directed — is the regime’s legitimacy in the eyes of its own population and its own military. The IRGC is not the center of gravity. Natanz is not the center of gravity. Khamenei is a node, not the hub. The true center of gravity is the perception inside Iran that the regime can protect itself and survive. The moment that perception collapses — among the Basij, among the clerical establishment in Qom, among the IRGC officer corps — the regime loses cohesion faster than any bomb can cause. Military operations should be designed to accelerate that internal fracture, not merely to satisfy a targeting list.
Clausewitz’s friction — everything that makes the simple difficult in war — is operating at full force in the diplomatic space right now. Every call for a negotiated settlement that preserves the Islamic Republic’s structure is friction injected into the political objective. It creates uncertainty about termination, signals to the regime that endurance may be rewarded, and fragments allied commitment. Clausewitz is explicit: a government that goes to war without the will to pursue its object to decision is introducing friction into its own machinery. Half-measures in war are worse than no war at all, because they expend blood and treasure without altering the fundamental balance of power.

You made three arguments. Two are correct. One will be used against this campaign.
Europeans are dependent on Hormuz. Correct. Eighty-four percent of that oil moves to Asia, but Europe’s LNG exposure and fertilizer supply chain are real vulnerabilities. You’re right to say it.
European ship owners crew their vessels with Filipino and Ukrainian sailors and won’t surge a warship to protect them. Also correct. That’s not a minor point — it’s a structural moral failure worth naming plainly.
But then you end with a shrug. And that shrug is dangerous.
Not morally — strategically.
The moment gas hits $4 and urea hits $680 at spring planting, the opposition has one question: why are we doing this for people who hate us?
You just wrote their argument for them.
“Americans don’t care” is a weather report, not a strategy. Apathy has a shorter shelf life than you think — it expires the first time the cost becomes personal.
This campaign doesn’t need European gratitude to be legitimate. The Islamic Republic has been killing Americans since 1979. That ledger is 47 years long and exists entirely independent of Rotterdam’s energy portfolio.
Your frustration with European arrogance is justified. Express it.
But framing American action as indifferent service to ungrateful allies doesn’t embarrass Europe.
It undermines the one argument that sustains this campaign when the pressure comes — and the pressure is coming.
English
Dear Europe, I know you feel outrage. I have talked to many of you on the phone.
I know politicians and media on both sides of the Atlantic are furious. I attended a conference with mostly Europeans. The worry and frustration was palpable.
I get it too. You are dependent on Middle East oil and aluminum and fertilizer and shipping and LNG. Dubai is a vital travel hub for you. Vital.
But don’t worry. Trump will lose the midterms and Congress will flip and side with you.
Or maybe not…
I live in the bluest town in the bluest state, where protests are practically a seasonal sport. I drove over eight hours across New England this week past the usual corners where outrage normally lives.
This time? Nothing.
Left, right, center. I’m hearing almost no one talk about this war. MAGA doesn’t even care.
Ask someone and you’ll get the expected talking points. But in coffee shops, kitchens, real life? Silence.
Hard truth: most Americans just don’t care.
And since the weather warmed, not a single keffiyeh in sight.
So when Trump says you need to go protect the ships and airports that are vital to YOU, I think he means it.
Because the vast majority of Americans don’t care.
And it’s not that we want to see you spin into an energy and food shortage. It’s that even the most TDS-inflicted liberal American is getting tired of your BS.
Hating Trump is one thing. Almost half of America is OK with that. But your anti-American vitriol and arrogance and weakness is exhausting.
Nobody likes a needy person who is angry and thinks they are better than you. It’s literally the worst combination in a person.
And you might not want to admit it, but you are needy. You need us to reopen Hormuz. You need our banks and our markets. You need a lot.
“We will not participate in this war” is fine. Nobody is asking you to bomb civilians. What’s weak is you won’t surge defensive missiles and planes to protect European-owned ships and property.
When exactly did defense make you a participant?
Defense of innocent life and property isn’t a “war crime.” And you DO own the majority of ships getting attacked.
Ships that you are unwilling to defend maybe because you outsource the labor to Indonesia, the Philippines, and Ukraine.
You are the wealthy lords who abandoned the mansion but told the help to stick around and defend it.
So you might want to send a few warships and missile defense units to protect YOUR property.
Or at least leave them at anchor and send the innocent crews home.
You want us to defend the Strait because we started this mess?
That’s reasonable. Problem is the reaction from most of America to your demands is:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge.
Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division.

Did Clausewitz Write on Iran?
Not by name. But he wrote on Persia in the only way that matters — obliquely, through principle. In his historical surveys he studied the Persian Wars through the Greek sources, and what he drew from Thermopylae and Plataea was not a lesson about Persian failure but about the relationship between political will and military instrument. The Persians had the larger army, the longer logistics tail, the greater material power. They lost because their political object — the subjugation of a people who would not accept subjugation — was incommensurate with what military force alone could achieve against a population that had fused passion with purpose.
That lesson is 2,500 years old and it applies in both directions. The Islamic Republic has studied it. Their strategy since 1979 has been to make the cost of their removal exceed the political will of any administration willing to impose it. They have been largely correct. Clausewitz would not have been surprised. He would have noted simply that the defender who survives long enough converts time into a strategic asset, and that every ceasefire offered to a regime still capable of governing is a gift of time it did not earn on the battlefield.
Clausewitz never wrote on Iran. But the Ayatollahs have been writing on Clausewitz for forty-six years. It is past time we read him back to them in a language they cannot misunderstand.
