So on target…thanks, brother, for posting this article. And may President Trump continue to do the right thing by insuring that Iran will NEVER acquire nuclear weapons. While Obama and Biden twiddled their thumbs and placated and deliberated and appeased, Israel, with President Trump’s support, has acted to insure that the rogue Iranian regime will never have the capacity to use the threat of nuclear weapons to blackmail the rest of the world. Let’s hope that the Trump Administration gives the Israelis the weapons it needs to totally destroy the ability of the Iranian terrorist government to ever deploy nuclear weapons. Make no mistake…the Israelis are fighting for their survival and for the survival of Western Civilization…let’s hope that Western Europeans realize that the outcome of Rising Lion will determine their future also.
In the days since June 13, I have struggled to find the words to convey what Israel’s strikes on Iran mean for the West, especially for America. I have been thinking of Israel as the vanguard, not the Atlas, of the West although I agree Atlas may be more appropriate. This is the best take on what Israel has done for the West over the last four days I have read. I could never say it more eloquently. I can only hope that America realizes that Israel is fighting a war that it should be standing right alongside Israel with soon and supply it with all the material and moral support it needs to finish this task ASAP. This is one American who will stand with Israel in whatever small way I can until this finished. I know there are many others who will also. The cost of not doing so is our destruction. The reward of doing so is our resurgence.
I like how you manage to apply objectivism to current events. The most valuable takeaway from the article for me is that we shouldn't be ashamed of our western values, which is something one might think should be almost self-evident, but sadly has become an almost heretical opinion.
Western leaders have forgotten what it means to LEAD. They follow public opinion forgetting that leadership means FORMING public opinion and EDUCATING the masses, not poling them. This is the great weakness of Democracy. It requires education and education is sorely lacking in our monopolar Universities that teach thought control rather than critical thinking.
What a load of self-masturbatory drivel. Get a grip.
Israel is not standing ‘in the gates of hell’ - it’s the regional hegemon backed by the world’s preeminent superpower. The narrative of existential fragility and lone defiance might have held some water in 1948.

Israel=Ancient Rome; Modern Europe=Hellenistic monarchies

But it’s now 2025 so spare us the heroic fantasy.
