World Is Worse Today
With China up next to invade Taiwan.
With Iran and North Korea just waiting for their chances at evil.
With provocations, escalations, and threats of nuclear weapons.
The world is much worse today.
Peace is shattered.
There is no telling when or how this will all end.

Iran's Fateful Mistake
With horrible reports coming out that Iran has torched the holy tombs of Mordecai and Esther, this is a new despicable low even for Iran’s evil leadership. As we all know, Mordecai and Queen Esther are the heroes of Purim who with Hashem’s help saved the Jewish people from the evil decree of Haman to utterly destroy the Jews of Persia. Now, the Iranians (Persians) have cast their evil lots once again by setting ablaze these tombs in Hamadan, Iran, and desecrating this site that is holy to Jews around the world. My mother’s Hebrew name was Esther and I am outraged at this vile act against the graves of our holy ancestors, as we all should be.
Let’s hope and pray that soon the Iranian people will realize their aspirations for freedom and that the tyranny that they live under will soon come to another miraculous ending under the watchful eyes of our holy ancestors, Mordecai and Esther.

Countdown To Iran
For two decades the cat and mouse game with Iran's development of nuclear weapons has gone on while Iran is leading State sponsor of terrorism and one of the worst human rights abusers. Iran has marched forward with its desire for a global caliphate and has gone on threatening death and destruction in the Middle East and beyond and murdering with impunity.
Now the end game is almost here...
The U.S. and Israel are committed to preventing Iran's existential threat and may G-d help us.

Iran--and Obama--Lied
The Iranian Nuclear Deal has been definitively proven to be based on lies and deception.
G-d has once again helped Israel achieve a miraculous intelligence coup against Axis of Evil, Iran!
The real proof is in the archive (not the fake news echo chamber).
Iran has a clear path to nukes, and they have been working feverishly towards this maniacal end for decades!
This has put Western Civilization at grave risk at the hands of the fanatical Mullahs who endlessly call for death to America, Israel, and even Sunni civilization.
The only thing the Iranian deal was good for was as a deceptive political ploy by Obama to gain a fake win and to support dangerous Iranian global terrorism, extremism, human rights violations, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Now we know the real reason certain people couldn't say the words "Islamic Terrorism."
Iran lied, but so did Obama.
I can hear our bombers revving their engines and see the smart bombs being loaded into their bays.
It's well past time to make things right and conduct the necessary preemptive strike to foil their evil plans and destroy their wicked weapons of mass destruction before they can use them on you know who. ;-)

Dysfunction Society
North Korea has achieved ICBM capability with a missile launch yesterday to 2,800 miles altitude—11 times higher than the International Space Station—giving Axis of Evil, North Korea the ability to now hit Washington, D.C.!
At the same time, a career civil servant tries to pull a fast one on the Trump Administration—challenging the President’s right to appoint an Acting Director over the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, which is part of the Executive Branch of government—and hoping that the Senate then won’t confirm Trump’s new appointee for Director, all of which would leave her in charge of CFPB for the next 3 years! Of course, the courts don’t see it her way, but as the Wall Street Journal noted her coup attempt is definitely something to take note of in democratic, America.
In the background, the Democrats and Republicans continue to beat each other silly and senseless, and not only with stalled legislation on almost every front from Healthcare to Immigration, but now minority leaders Schumer and Pelosi are even refusing to meet with the President over enacting a government budget leading us to another looming government shutdown in December…we can’t seem to keep the government functional or even running for the most powerful nation on Earth.
Finally, Bitcoin—an artificial computer-generated currency, advanced 1,000-fold this year to hit $10,000! Talking about another financial bubble reminiscent of the manic investment in tulips in the 17th century. What’s the value of Bitcoin or sunflowers? Whatever you want it to be! It’s not about the technology, which may be great, but rather the phony valuing of cryptocurrency, which few understand, and we all know how these bubbles end.
So overall, we have national security, the administration of our government, and economic stability all in grossly abnormal territory.
When things get this crazy, eventually you can be sure that something will first start to crack and then potentialy really break, and when it does, will we see more Negan with his brain-bashing baseball bat, Lucille? ;-)

Reconquest of the Soviet Union
Russia lost 14 Former Soviet Union (FSU) states after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- Armenia
- Azerbaijan
- Belarus
- Estonia
- Georgia
- Kazakhstan
- Kyrgystan
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Moldovia
- Tajikistan
- Turkenistan
- Ukraine
- Uzbekistan
Could you imagine the United States or the European Union losing something like that?
Think of California and Texas and more seceding and making their own independent states.
What would that do to the power and capability of this country?
Hence, when Russia goes into FSUs like Georgia and Ukraine (in red)--does a land grab like with Crimea and Abkhazia and South Ossetia--and threatens others, in their Soviet minds, they are just reclaiming what is/was theres.
Now listen, I am not justifying their aggression and hostile actions, but I am realizing/recognizing how explosive a situation this may end up being--especially since Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (in blue) changed sides and are now part of NATO!
Russia--even without the 14 FSUs--is the largest country in the world by territory with over 17 million square miles--that is almost the size of the United States and Canada or and China combined!
Russia may not have the economy of the United States but they are a formidable foe that we least not forget also has the largest nuclear weapons stockpile in the world.
Russia has a history of creating a large world dominating union and their military forays into the FSUs, support of hostile regimes like Syria and in Iran, sizable war games in Belarus, continuing to militarize the Arctic, interfering in our election, stealing our secrets via Kaspersky Lab software is likely just a shadow of what is yet to come.
So if you think North Korea and Iran are problems... ;-)

From North Korean ICBMs to the Las Vegas Mass Shooter
They both target the masses for the maximum fatality count.
North Korea was shown targeting a nuclear attack on major U.S. cities--including San Diego, Austin, Washington DC, and the islands of Hawaii.
The Las Vegas shooter last night targeted a concert crowded with fans to let loose his automatic rifle killing at least 59 and wounding 527 in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
How about the Boston Marathon bomber that killed three and wounded 260 at the crowded finish line?
We are living in dangerous, dangerous times.
And being in a crowd can seriously get you killed.
Honestly, does it take a genius or a madman to target a large gathering to inflict great pain on the enemy?
Honestly, who hasn't wondered why we don't target the terrorists groups and rogue terror nation states--whether Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, Al-Qaeda or Axis of Evil Iran and North Korea--when their militants are violently rallying, burning the American flag, chanting death to the USA, and boldly and defiantly raising their assault rifles high into the air.
Why do we prefer to go after onesies-twosies in a virtual never ending battle to try and stop the terrorists of the day before they hit our cities and people again, when instead we can take out the evil bunch in more or less one fell swoop and send a no nonsense deterrent message.
Are we too moralistic to do it to them before they do it to us and we have hundreds of thousands or millions of dead?
I'm not suggesting hitting innocent civilians, but how about an armed, military parade with tanks and missiles or a bunch of crazed terrorists just building up their gumption to do their next dirty massacre against masses of innocent men, women, and children.
The bad guys aren't asking any questions before they hit the World Trade Center or the Pentagon or London or Paris or Tokyo or Jerusalem with guns, knives, bombs, vehicular attacks or even attempted WMD--maybe we shouldn't ask too many questions before we invoke "fire and fury" on their evil ranks and protect our own once and for all. ;-)

Always Be Prepared
Even when we're having a good time, we need to have in mind the possibility that things can go very wrong.
These last couples of weeks with Hurricane Harvey and Irma, we saw again the destructive forces that Mother Nature can bring.
And today being the 16th Anniversary since the terror attacks on 9/11 and the almost 3,000 murdered at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we are reminded of the necessity to always be ready for man-made/inflicted disasters as well.
Now with Axis of Evil nations, North Korea and Iran, continuing to pose alarming threats to the West, the need for preparation and readiness to dangerous WMD--whether from an ICBM or a suitcase bomb--is ever present
Let's just say until the final redemption when peace will reign on earth, we can never just rest securely on our laurels.
Even on a sunny day, the clouds may be gathering to threaten us.
So have a plan. Be prepared. You and your families lives across our beautiful and free nation depend on it. ;-)

Nuke Fear Turning To Action?
Currently, there are about 15,000 nukes either stockpiled or poised to strike around the world.
Enough deadly weapons to kill the entire planet!
After a frightening series of 5 nukes tests since 2006 plus 18 technologically progressive ballistic missiles tests over the last 6 months, things are escalating after new sanctions imposed to try to contain the threat--with North Korea rattling it's nuclear arsenal with a shrill threat of attack moving to "physical action" and the U.S. shooting back "fire and fury,"
As to further North Korean mad progress, it was reported that they are developing a powerful new H-bomb with immense destructive power, especially towards our density killing fields:
- If such a weapon would strike, G-d forbid, Washington D.C., it could mean 500,000 dead and another 900,000 injured--let alone what this would mean in terms of a destructive decapitation to the very functioning and continuity of our government and country.
- Even worse fatalities would occur should it strike our financial capital, New York City, with estimates of 1.7 million dead.
Hence, the news that this is no joking matter anymore (as if it really ever was).
Fears typically first get expressed in rhetoric, but then with greater and ever potent means for them to become reality, the risks increase for them to actually make the horrific leap.
What happens next with the ever menacing dangers from rogue Axis of Evil nations, North Korea and Iran--and will we ever feel and be safe again, absent any meaningful social progress while they continue to absolutely and speedily advance their ever more deadly weapons programs and the means to deliver them, first class. ;-0

Baiting With North Korea and Taiwan
Yes, North Korea is a nuclear threat and they are ramping up the ante.
And we are still technically at war with the North Koreans.
But all the in-the-box ideas for stopping the North Korean threat is wasting everyone's time and efforts.
Today in the Wall Street Journal, we had everything from telling China that we'll recognize the Axis of evil North Korean regime and sign a peace treaty with them in return for limiting the North Korean missile program and having inspections (because those worked so well in the past or with Iran) or we put the "squeeze" on China by threatening to remove their 328,547 Chinese students from American universities.
Listen, it's time to face facts:
China will not give up support for North Korea against us, until we would agree to give up support for Taiwan against them.
Is that really so hard to understand?
No China will not be sanctioned by us or threatened by us economically or militarily--they are a superpower in their own right!
And we cannot expect to ask or force China to stop supporting North Korea, just because we don't like it--in fact, that is exactly the point.
We don't like it, and that's what China wants in order to push us out of supporting an independent and democratic Taiwan.
So now we are at the root of the choice here for America.
Either America is willing to negotiate with China for real and in effect compromise our values for democracy and freedom in the world or we can deal with North Korea on our own.
And dealing with North Korea on our own--without destroying much of South Korea and even Japan in the process--probably means just one (or two) big bangs. ;-)

Don't Defeat ISIS
Yesterday, they gave Axis of Evil Iran some payback.
Iran, the #1 global sponsor of terrorism, got terrorized.
In a brazen attack on Iran's parliament and shrine, ISIS attacked these hardened targets.
Now, while all terrorism is terrible and should be condemned, isn't there an old saying:
"Fight fire with fire."
In this case, sadly but maybe the truth is the only way to fully defeat terrorism is by:
The only way to win the war on terror is to let terror fight terror!
No, we should not resort to such barbarism!
But as the world allegedly did in the Iran-Iraq war (and so many other conflicts), we armed both sides and let them go at it.
Similarly here, let ISIS and Iran's terrorists duke it out until they are both gone for good or hopefully they come to their senses and stop the madness once and for all!
Civilians are innocent and should never be targets, but the terrorists killing the terrorists is fair game.
Sure, carrots are preferable to a stick, but have any of the carrots worked at all or are we not at a global terrorism all time high after 16 years fighting the war on terror since 9/11.
Why wait until ISIS and/or Iran hits us again and again with terror wave after terror wave or eventually with unfathomable weapons of mass destruction?
Devil kill devil--and let peace and sanity reign supreme for the rest of the civilized world. ;-)

You Can Take The Man From Washington
Even here in beautiful Florida, I ran into this caricature of former President Obama in some street art downtown.
Man, isn't it enough that he empowered the Axis of Evil Iran and North Korea; left Syria and Ukraine to rot in bloody civil war and to kneel beneath the will of the Russians; ignored the Sino military buildout in the South China Sea, was lax on radical Islamists, ISIS, and global terrorism; abandoned America's allies Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the gulf nations; and let's not forget that he literally doubled our national debt to $20 trillion!
What was once an admirable Democratic party is still reeling today from the embrace of leadership from behind, disengagement, weakness, and blatant anti-Semitism.
Like Forrest Gump says, life is not a bowl of cherries or box of chocolates, especially when failed leaders do the wrong things and hurt the country and their party. ;-)

Easy Solution to Axis of Evil
North Korea and Iran are sworn to the destruction of the U.S. and it's allies.
Repeatedly, they sponsor global terrorism, abuse human rights, violate agreements against proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, conduct nuke tests, and missile launches.
Instead of destroying the missiles immediately upon launch or on the launchpad, which is a nice start...
Let's just do this:
- When North Korea launches, let's redirect the guidance system on the missile to Tehran.
- And when Iran launches their missiles, let's redirect it toward Pyongyang.
We don't have to fire a single volley.
Let the evil ones destroy each other and have a gangbusters time doing it. ;-)

Crosshair Planning And National Security
Not because we currently have North Korea in the crosshairs before they hit us with a nuclear-tipped ICBM.
But rather for how this diagram can be used in strategic planning and enterprise architecture.
The way this is used is the following:
First, you put your goals in the inner quadrants (or other such division of the inner circle). For example, perhaps you have a goal to reduce your weight which is now 215 lbs.
Next you create concentric rings around your goals with each ring representing a time horizon. For example, the first ring could be 6 months, the 2nd ring 1 year, and so on.
Then for each timeframe in the rings, you put what your target is for that related goal. For example, maybe in 6 months you want to reduce your weight to 210, and then by end of year 1 to 205.
In this way, you can easily show your goals as well your targets over various time frames into the future.
You can similarly use the other quadrants (or other divisions of the circle) for other goals emanating from the center to the future targets.
Of course, you can also use this for North Korea--to target above the 38th parallel for dropping a good deals MOABs to clear the enemy and their nukes and missiles from threatening the U.S. and our allies. The same solution goes for Axis of Evil, Iran, and their endless spread of global terrorism and human rights abuses.
Targets are for restoring the peace and for strategic planning and these two intersect when it's comes to national security. ;-)

North Korea and Iran--No Time For Nuke Time
North Korea and Iran have nuclear weapons capability and are threatening and maniacal enough to use them.
Negotiations, incentives, and phony deals have led to nothing but advancing proliferation of weapons of mass destruction with our enemies and their continued vows to kill us.
As Iran vows to annihilate Israel and chants:
"Death to America"
North Korea vows a nuclear attack saying Washington will be:
"Engulfed in a sea of fire."
The Talmud (Sanhedrin 72a) teaches the principle of self-defense:
"If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first."
Preemption is justifiable if the threat is real and imminent.
North Korea and Iranian threats are very real and getting ever more imminent as their capabilities increase--and if anything, they have been underestimated and underreported.
They have continued to build and test nukes and the missiles to deliver them to the U.S. and our allies, despite pleas as well as carrots and sticks to cease their menacing actions.
The prior administration's position of "strategic patience" has meant nothing but indecision and a do nothing approach as things get worse and not better.
Now, we have the opportunity to destroy the deadly nuke sites before these despotic regimes hit us and our population of nearly 320 million people with a nuke first strategy!
We are a peaceful nation that believes deeply in freedom and human rights, but we cannot live under constant threat of nuclear attack on our cities and allies.
A preemptive strike is a very, very serious decision, but we cannot wait indefinitely and let ourselves become victims of the most horrific weapons and their destructive capabilities and aftermath.
What do we do if North Korea and Iran refuse their endless pursuit weapons of mass destruction and their threats to use them on us?
Perhaps, this is soon to be a rhetorical question if not the most dire of all decisions to make and the time to make them.
May G-d have mercy on us--if ever their was a time, now is the time to pray and mean it. ;-)

Rivers Of Blood
Obama and Kerry did nothing!
And the result has literally been rivers of blood in Syria.
Obama and Kerry could have fired the warning shots--as President Trump just did 79 days into his new administration--but Obama and Kerry choose weakness and inaction.
The result of the Obama administration's inaction is that Russia has now comfortably moved and settled into Syria and that 500,000 Syrians are dead, 13.5 million require humanitarian assistance, 6 million are internally displaced, and 4.8 million refugees have fled across the borders.
Contrary to all who have accused President Trump of being complicit with Russia, instead we now see in him a leader who in fact stands up for what is right to Russia and despots like Syria's Assad.
Perhaps the real person complicit with the Russians and Iranians was Obama who let them ride roughshod over human rights and over America.
In complicity was not President Trump, but Obama secretly whispering to the Russians and caught on an open mic: "After the election, I will have more flexibility"--to do what Americans obviously wouldn't want me to do.
With regards to Syria's chemical weapons, Kerry falsely stated to the American people:
"We got 100% of chemical weapons out of Syria."
However, the slaughter continued for years and we continue to see chemical weapons used again this week with horrific pictures of men, women, and children brutally murdered in the streets of Syria.
But the weakness, disengagement, and leadership from behind from Obama and Kerry is hopefully behind us now.
Stay tuned...next up is the phony deal that Obama and Kerry made with "Axis of Evil" Iran and the do-nothing with North Korea that has continued to lead them to a nuclear ICBM that can reach America!
So as we will soon start the holidays of Passover and Easter, we know that only G-d can make rivers of white water or of red blood flow mercifully or justly, but Obama and Kerry are the ones complicit in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands in Syria that they could've stopped, but didn't.

Iran Outsmarts And Humiliates
Iran so far continues to outsmart us at every turn...
Take just last week:
We released 7 Iranians for 5 Americans hostages plus a $1.7 billion settlement to Iran, even though our victims of terrorism haven't received their settlement money from Iran.
Good deal?
Well after Iran released the 5 Americans, the Shitte militias in Iraq "whose funding and direction come from Iran" immediately took 3 new Americans hostage.
Oh well.
How about with the nuke deal with Iran?
We got short-term commitments from the Iranians to restrain their nuke program in return for $100+ billion and a removal of sanctions.
Good deal?
Well after Iran agreed to this, they immediately tested 2 ballistic missiles capable of carrying nukes in violation of UN resolutions, and then Iran threatens to pull out of the deal if we impose any new sanctions.
Oh well.
Then again, what about our naval vessels seized?
Iran took 2 US naval vessels and 10 American servicemen/women and after releasing them, we profusely thank Iran.
Good deal?
Well after we thank them, Iran broadcasts humiliating images of the Americans on their knees captured, and it is reported that Iran kept SIM cards from the sailors handheld satellite phones presumably to hack these communications in the future.
Oh well.
They win some and win some more--AND--we lose some and lose some more.
Ready for the next humiliating round? ;-)

Looking At Ourselves In The NUKE Mirror
Yet the deal with Iran--a member of the "Axis of Evil" and the #1 state sponsor of terrorism worldwide and of the worst abusers of human righs is trustless, especially when verification mechanisms are weak and Iran is non-complaint?
So where's the trust headed now (has anything changed, what are the signs so far)?
T - Turning away - Iran continues to turn away and refuse access to inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who are tasked with the verification of Iran's non-proliferation of nukes.
R - Restraining people - Iran continues to disrespect us and holds 4 Americans hostage with no sign or promise of release.
U - Undermining - Iran continues to undermine any relationship with the West by affirming that hostile policies toward "arrogant" America will not change.
S - Swindling - Iran continues to swindle and deceive the West going so far as to publish a 416-page manifesto by the Ayatollah on destroying Israel, "the ally of the American Great Satan."
T - Threatening - Iran continues to threaten the West most recently warning of a "Third World War" sparked by terorrism, and continuing chants of "Death to America!"
So what's the future of this deal in protecting the world from nukes and terrorism--let's be honest and look in the mirror and ask what's the deal here? ;-)
