Trump: "A massive Armada is heading to Iran," Ready to Strike "with speed and violence"

Iran requested talks with the US to avert a possible military strike. Iran denies they did this, but the government is just a collection of filthy primitive Satanic liars.

Trump transmitted his demands, in exchange for "talks," and Iran rejected them. Among the demands: A completely nuclear-free Iran.

Now Trump warns Iran: Don't make me do to you what I did to Venezuela.

A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela.

Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary. Hopefully Iran will quickly "Come to the Table" and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn't, and there was "Operation Midnight Hammer," a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don't make that happen again.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President DONALD J. TRUMP

Iran has responded, per the NYT:

Iran responded defiantly to President Trump's demand from earlier this morning to "Come to the Table" or face possible military action. The Iranian mission to the United Nations said in its own social media post that Iran was "ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests." But it added that "IF PUSHED," Iran would "DEFEND ITSELF AND RESPOND LIKE NEVER BEFORE!"

Marco Rubio was asked about Iran in his Senate appearance today.

The problem for Iran -- and for us -- is simple: Their economy is a basket-case due to their using all of their money to fund terrorism and nuclear bombs, and the sanctions we have imposed in response to that. The people are protesting not just because the regime is repressive and evil, but because common citizens are just broke and wondering where they'll get the money to eat.

But we can't help their economy or loosen up the sanctions as they continue to build nukes and fund terrorism.

So there's really only one way to end this. Well, two ways: Either the Ayatollah agrees to stop building nukes and funding terrorism, or we take him out.

They refuse to agree to the former.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson continues attacking Americans for even speaking about foreign policy. If you object to Iran killing 30-35,000 of its own citizens, he says you're a monster and a neocon for not talking about American fentanyl deaths.

But meanwhile, he can't stop taking trips to Qatar and Saudi Arabia and praising Islam.

"I'm very comfortable being in the seat of Islam."

Because he's such a patriotic American and such a strong Christian! I mean, did you know that Christian support for Israel was heretical?! Tucker Carlson says so. In fact, he says he "hates" "Christian Zionists."

But he's a SuperFan of Islam. And that endorsement should count for a lot, for, as he always tells you when he's endorsing leftwing propaganda, he is a Christian. Or at least he became one two years ago.

Ambassador Mike Huckabee suggests that Tucker Carlson's rapid ideological shift is driven by money:

"Let's just take Tucker Carlson. That a man in his mid 50s, who I've known since 1991 when his first job out of college was in Little Rock, Arkansas, working for a newspaper. I worked with him for 6.5 years at Fox News in New York.

Suddenly, in a very short period of time, a switch is split, and he has a completely different worldview, and his ideological base has completely changed. That's not normal for someone in his 50s. It just isn't.

What happened? I don't know. Is it that it is more profitable for him to do what he's doing now than what he was doing when he was at Fox News?

He wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't. There's got to be, on all of our part, a willingness to push back, stand up, speak up. But to do it with facts, but to do it not with a sense of anger and hostility, I think that's a huge mistake.

If all we do is engage in the same level of temperature, then we're not going to be able to be successful. We need to calmly, but with a sense of assurance and confidence, push back on some of the more outrageous things."
