A wonderful segment on Securing America with Frank Gaffney with Dr. Rod Martin! I didn’t know Sharia Law here in the U.S. was linked to Iran nor did I know much about the Supreme Court case concerning Trump’s tariffs. Those short portions of the segment were very informative. But on to the main topics of this discussion. The Islamic Republic is on life support at this point. The currency and banking systems in Iran have collapsed. Massive protests are happening in the streets of every major Iranian city. Brutal government repression has not stopped them. The Ayatollahs are feeling their grip from power slip. Many Iranians are leaving Islam and becoming Atheists or converting to Christianity or Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of Iran before Arab Muslims conquered and Islamized the country. A secular democracy and constitutional monarchy under the Crown Prince Reza Shah is moving closer each day to becoming a reality.

Yet, the final blow still needs to be struck. This is what President Trump is getting ready to do. The Pentagon brought him plans but he deemed them insufficient because he wanted plans for a decisive strike on Iran. They’ll be no half measures for Trump, he wants to go all the way! The Ayatollahs must be toppled! As he told the Iranian people “help is on the way!” Make Iran Great Again! The Ayatollahs are fanatics who believe in a perverted version of Islam the Prophet Muhammad would have reviled. They want to nuke the world so their God the Mahdi, can come back. They sound more like The People’s Temple or Heaven’s Gate than practitioners of a legitimate religion. Their removal will mean a thriving democratic Iran that will be very wealthy indeed and will be a loyal ally to the United States, the West and Israel. As Dr. Martin pointed out too, Mossad agents are crawling all over the place in Iran. Mossad has successfully infiltrated Iran and has numerous informants working for them there.

As to India, they have officially and quietly, signaled they are moving towards an alliance with the United States and the free world. India has always claimed to be a neutral nation. But they have always behind the scenes, taken sides. During the Cold War they quietly were allies with the Soviet Union. India is blocking the shadow trade of Iranian oil by the Russians and the Chinese. It appears, they have decided to switch sides in the new Cold War. BRICS is gradually collapsing and never posed any serious threat to the United States or the dollar. China’s in big trouble! They can’t get illicit oil from Venezuela anymore, now 90% of their shadow oil is drying up too. The United States has blockaded the shadow oil trade by the BRICS nations in the Caribbean, Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. Now India is blockading the rest of it. China will be forced to legally purchase oil on the open market at full price. Thus demolishing one of their biggest trade advantages over us. I believe the United States and India need to form a formal alliance with one another to counter China. There is no more important area of the world for us than the Indo-Pacific region these days. I call for the complete and immediate abolition of BRICS.

Sure thing buddy. All we have to do is send in a couple million troops and bomb the living shit out of their cities and they’ll be great allies and a wonderful investment opportunity!

Which is exactly what he did in Venezuela and Panama: a couple million troops and a forever war. Moron.

Modi isn't " petty". He's quite strong. And he's a good leader. I wish Trump hadn't attacked and insulted him publicly and continued doubling down. He was a very supportive ally,

I like Modi. I’m not talking about Modi. I’m talking about the entire short history of India’s foreign policy, regardless of who was in power. Ancient civilization, very young country. Acts like it.

They may be a young country, but they are an ancient civilization that has endured and produces some of the most brilliant, disciplined and wonderful people, including my son- in- law, who at age 28?was recruited as the Chief of Radiation Oncology at Cleveland Clinic and at 30, offered the same position at an even more renowned hospital/medical complex a Chief. of Radian Oncology and is a transplant surgeon, a wonderful husband, father and son in law and every member of his family is as accomplished, kind, generous, nurturing and remarkable. And humble.

All true. India is a wonderful country and could be a good friend. I hope they will be. For 80 years their government preferred to play footsie with the Soviets and then with Putin. Perhaps we’ve turned the corner.

Replaced in what sense?

Iran is more suitable for bricks India is to unstable and can't be trusted India doesn't seem to know what side of the fence it wants to be

I don't think you're quite seeing my point. If the Indian Navy and Coast Guard are actively disrupting the Shadow Fleet which funds Russia's war and delivers nearly half of China's steeply-discounted, sanctioned oil, they're all toast together.

Even if we hadn't just sunk Iran's navy, there's nothing they could do to disrupt that. And for all the hype, neither can China's.

In any case, Iran is already part of BRICS. Its GDP is $388B, vs. India's $3.385T (that's "trillion" with a "t"), so India's economy is almost 10X Iran's. It cannot possibly replace India in any sense I can see.

BRICS was always broken. All these countries hate each other. They can never be as advertised.
