In a post on Truth Social, President Trump wrote: “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
Unequivocally correct. If a military action is worth taking, you go all the way. The last time the United States demanded unequivocal surrender of its enemies was Hitler’s Germany and the Japanese empire, in 1945. The result was a decisive victory for liberty. In the wars since, we did no such thing, and the results were always a letdown, to say the least.
We cannot impose freedom on the Iranian people. But we can refuse to tolerate any more dictators who engage in a perpetual war with our country. It’s as simple as that. This is a lot less difficult than winning World War II.
Now if we can just demand unconditional surrender of America’s totalitarian Democratic Party, and arrest or deport all who seek to destroy freedom from within our borders, we will be on our way. If President Trump can do to the Democrats at war with our Bill of Rights what he has already done to the dictators of Venezuela and Iran, America might truly become great again.
