"In the next place, the good man should be both a strong and a brave man; that is, he should be able to fight, he should be able to serve his country as a soldier, if the need arises. There are well-meaning philosophers who declaim against the unrighteousness of war. They are right only if they lay all their emphasis upon the unrighteousness. War is a dreadful thing, and unjust war is a crime against humanity. But it is such a crime because it is unjust, not because it is war. The choice must ever be in favor of righteousness, and this whether the alternative be peace or whether the alternative be war. The question must not be merely, Is there to be peace or war? The question must be, Is the right to prevail? Are the great laws of righteousness once more to be fulfilled? And the answer from a strong and virile people must be, "Yes," whatever the cost. Every honorable effort should always be made to avoid war, just as every honorable effort should always be made by the individual in private life to keep out of a brawl, to keep out of trouble; but no self-respecting individual, no self-respecting nation, can or ought to submit to wrong."--Actual President Teddy Roosevelt
“To the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don’t leave your home. It’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be, probably, your only chance for generations.
For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So let’s see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.
This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”--Actual President Donald Trump
But many just have doubts based on the decades of Post-Traumatic Abuse we've suffered under Deep State and Secret Society wickedness. That's fair.
But there is a huge difference between the Endless Sandbox and Ukraine Wars and this current action. We shouldn't shoehorn today into that old corrupt paradigm.
Again, the Sandbox and Ukraine Wars were Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden Wars for Globalist Tyranny.
But this is a Trumpian Blow against Globalists for Freedom and Civilization.
And that makes all the difference in the world.

IRAN REVOLUTION LIVE WITH IRANIAN HOSTS GOLDIE AND ARMIN: DAY 63
America Wakes Up to News of Expanded Military Operations Against Iran - The Last Refuge
(2020)
from Apr. ’24:
Iran would already be free but for that sonofabitch Obama.
He kept rescuing the Mullahs to enslave and oppress the Iranian People.
That Bastard Spawn made himself the enemy of the Israeli People, the Iranian People, the American People and all mankind.
Psalm 59:
8-10 But you, God, break out laughing;
you treat the godless nations like jokes.
Strong God, I’m watching you do it,
I can always count on you.
God in dependable love shows up on time,
shows me my enemies in ruin.
Hallelujah!
A man who would know, Frederick Douglass:
“The Constitutional framers were peace men; but they preferred revolution to peaceful submission to bondage. They were quiet men; but they did not shrink from agitating against oppression. They showed forbearance; but that they knew its limits. They believed in order; but not in the order of tyranny. With them, nothing was “settled” that was not right. With them, justice, liberty and humanity were “final;” not slavery and oppression.”
“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.”
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.”

Matthew 28
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Thank You for entrusting and empowering us for this Great Co-mission, Lord Jesus!
Coffee and Covid--☕️ FREEDOM FALAFELS ☙ Saturday, February 28, 2026 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠:
"Next: “Trump promised no forever wars!” That is true. He never said he wouldn’t use the military though. He kind of said the exact opposite, “peace through strength.”
A “forever war” is letting Iran arm Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis for 47 years while a succession of American presidents issued progressively sternly worded statements and hoped for the best. The forever war has already been happening. It just had good PR. It was a forever war that didn’t lead the evening news because corporate media sympathizes with the terrorists.
It’s been 47 years of half-measures, proxy skirmishes, hostage crises, dead Marines, blown-up embassies, terror campaigns, and diplomatic theater with a regime that negotiates the way a cat plays with a mouse— batting it around for entertainment, never intending to let it go. The forever war is not acting; letting Iran continue to arm Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis while pretending sanctions and sternly worded IAEA reports will eventually work. That is the forever war. It’s just a slow, quiet one that doesn’t produce corporate media headlines.
Trump is trying to end the forever war. You may disagree with his methods, but the ambition is literally the opposite of what he’s being accused of.
And notably, this isn’t just a partisan position. Democrat Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) —who’s getting less popular with his base by the minute— tweeted, “President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.” Fetterman agrees with the mission, so Trump has at least one Dem on board.
🚀 Now, at last, let’s connect the dots.
For our entire adult lives, the Middle East has been the world’s powder keg. Every few years something explodes. Somebody gets invaded, some embassy gets torched, some shipping lane gets mined, and American kids get sent to babysit a region that has been fighting since roughly the invention of the pointed stick. Or as Trump has said, “for the last two thousand years.”
Imagine what a world without Middle East conflict would look like.
Until last year, the decades-old instability has flowed from three main places: Palestine, Syria, and Iran. Compare that list to what Trump has tackled:
Palestine. Under Trump 1.0, the Abraham Accords began normalizing relations between Israel and the Arab world— something the credentialed experts had insisted was impossible right up until the moment it happened. After the October 7th war and the Gaza crisis, Trump forced a resolution to a conflict that had been festering since Israel became a nation again in 1948.
Syria. The Assad regime —Iran’s closest ally and the geographic weapons conduit to Hezbollah in Lebanon— collapsed. Just … gone. That domino toppled without a single American boot setting foot on Syrian soil.
Now, Iran. Israel calls Iran “the head of the snake.” It’s the oil-rich banker, armorer, and puppet master behind Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and a dozen or so other militias that have soaked the region in blood for nearly half a century. Iran is the final domino, and the biggest.
Every single president since Jimmy Carter has managed the Middle East, playing whack-a-mole with the latest crisis and passing the ruined wreckage along to his successor. Nobody dared try to actually solve the problem. Nothing ever changes. Not until President Trump.
Trump is swinging for the fences. He’s done with ceasefires, peace summits, international committees, inspection regimes, and ‘talks’ with a regime that uses negotiations the way a boxer uses the ropes to buy time to catch their breath before the next round of violence. President Trump is aiming at a permanent end to the source of the instability.
If he pulls it off, and ends the Middle East forever war, it could produce an era of global peace and stability not seen since before World War I. If you’ve been reading C&C for the last six months, you’ve been watching this puzzle assembled one piece at a time: Abraham Accords II, Syria, Gaza, Ukraine peace negotiations, and now this. It’s the most coherent foreign policy strategy in a generation, executed by a man most of the world’s capitals spent four years insisting was too dumb to have one.
It could fail, of course. War is messy, unpredictable, and heartbreaking. The missiles Iran fired at our bases this morning are real and dangerous, a bone-chilling reminder that this is a real and dangerous conflict, and brave Americans are in harm’s way right now.
But for the first time in our adult lives, an American president is actually trying to solve the problem instead of just managing it for four years and passing the bill along to become the next president’s problem. He’s not pursuing a forever war. He’s pursuing a forever peace.
That is the most important point, and it deserves to be understood for what it is. Some people might not like Trump’s means, but they can’t argue with the goal.
Ten days, six words, forty-seven years of managed decline, one speech at 2:30 a.m., and a president crazy enough to actually try. Whatever comes next— pray for the troops, pray for the Iranian people dancing in the streets, and remember: the impossible thing about solving a problem is that first you have to believe it can be solved. For the first time in your adult life, somebody does." .......
"... Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into apotential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next. And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything. Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself. One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris. This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again. They will not let it happen again. Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo. Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran." ....... Shanaka Anslem Perera | Substack
Rest in the Vine: Carthage Riding: Chesterton on Peace and War
G.K. Chesterton on Pacifism and War:
"The cheapest and most childish of all the taunts of the Pacifists is, I think, the sneer at belligerents for appealing to the God of Battles. It is ludicrously illogical, for we obviously have no right to kill for victory save when we have a right to pray for it. If a war is not a holy war, it is an unholy one--a massacre."
"I cannot see how we can literally end War unless we can end Will. I cannot think that war will ever be utterly impossible; and I say so not because I am what these people call a militarist, but rather because I am a revolutionist. Absolutely to forbid fighting is to forbid what our fathers called 'the sacred right of insurrection'. Against some decisions no self-respecting men can be prevented from appealing to fortune and to death."
"...war, like weather, cannot in itself be either criminal or saintly; and war as an action undertaken by certain persons may be either one or the other. Only in a state of fallen intelligence akin to fetish-worship could [we] ever have dropped into the habit of talking about the 'wickedness of war'."
"...that all war is physically frightful is obvious; but if that were a moral verdict, there would be no difference between a torturer and a surgeon."
The American Chesterton Society:
"Throughout his career, Chesterton was a vigorous enemy of pacifism. What he did believe in was the right, or the duty rather, of self-defense and the defense of others.
Chesterton was also a vigorous enemy of militarism. Both ideas, he argued, were really a single idea -- that the strong must not be resisted. The militarist, he said, uses this idea aggressively as a conqueror, as a bully. The pacifist uses the idea passively by acquiescing to the conqueror and permitting himself and others around him to be bullied. Of the two, Chesterton thought the pacifist far less admirable. In fact, the pacifist, for him, was "the last and least excusable on the list of the enemies of society."
"They preach that if you see a man flogging a woman to death you must not hit him. I would much sooner let a leper come near a little boy than a man who preached such a thing."
"Does anybody in the world believe that a soldier says, 'My leg is nearly dropping off, but I shall go on till it drops; for after all I shall enjoy all the advantages of my government obtaining a warm-water port in the Gulf of Finland.' ... They are generally two ideas, which are only two sides of one idea. The first is the love of something said to be threatened, if it be only vaguely known as home; the second is dislike and defiance of some strange thing that threatens it. ... There is a religious war when two worlds meet; that is when two visions of the world meet; or in more modern language when two moral atmospheres meet. What is the one man's breath is the other man's poison; and it is vain to talk of giving a pestilence a place in the sun. And this is what we must understand, even at the expense of digression, if we would see what really happened in the Mediterranean; when right athwart the rising of the Republic on the Tiber, a thing overtopping and disdaining it, dark with all the riddles of Asia and trailing all the tribes and dependencies of imperialism, came Carthage riding on the sea." -- G.K. Chesterton, 'The Everlasting Man'
A Prophetic Word for President Trump Regarding Iran – Robin Bullock:
Nehemiah went to him and they all talked to to Cyrus and probably Daniel first, you know, they're all talking and they had to show him in Isaiah 45 where he was mentioned and it said, "Our prophet Isaiah 150 years before you were born prophesied your coming." And when Cyrus saw himself in the scripture, it just took him. He was called a Messiah by the Jews. He was called a shepherd by the Lord. He was called anointed. And so when he saw himself in the scripture, he commissioned them to go back to to Israel and rebuild Jerusalem. And he would pay for it. That's so good.
The rabbis and all in Israel recognized Trump as Cyrus. He was the Cyrus of this generation because he brought the capital back to Jerusalem after 70 years. So he brings it comes back and names Jerusalem on their 70th anniversary. He names Jerusalem the undisputed capital of Israel. Amazing. So when he does this, they mint this coin and it has his and Cyrus's image on this coin because they say he's Cyrus.
Cyrus is talked about in Isaiah 45, I think, verses 1 through13, something like that. And Trump is number 45, the president 45 when he came in office and did this. So now look at what Trump's doing. He's going in making alliances out of all these nations without war. He's going in with the most powerful military in the world just like Cyrus had. He negotiates and makes allies out of everybody until he started this board of peace. Now watch this close. So he's fulfilling it. He may not even know why he's doing this, but he's Cyrus. That's a really, really good point right
Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to Cyrus, His anointed, whose right hand I have strengthened to subdue nations before him, and I will weaken the loins of kings, and open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 “I will go before you, and make the crooked straight. I will break the bronze doors and burst the iron bars.
3 “And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and the things hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, Who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
