President Donald Trump is reportedly considering military strikes against Iran that could deliver a devastating blow not just to the terrorist regime in Tehran, but to their supposed protectors in Beijing and Moscow. Military experts are warning that such action would expose China and Russia as fundamentally weak powers unable to defend their most important Middle Eastern ally.
The potential strikes represent everything the America First movement stands for – projecting real strength while our enemies cower behind empty threats and diplomatic posturing. Unlike the Biden regime's pathetic appeasement strategy, Trump's approach forces our adversaries to show their true colors.
China and Russia: All Bark, No Bite
Here's the uncomfortable truth Beijing and Moscow don't want you to know: they're military paper tigers. While they've spent years building up their image as global superpowers, they lack the capability to project meaningful force thousands of miles from their borders to protect Iran from American military might.
"If Trump decides to act against Iran, you'll see very quickly how limited China and Russia's real power actually is," one defense analyst told reporters. "They can make all the threats they want, but when push comes to shove, they can't match American military projection."
This is what happens when America leads from a position of strength instead of weakness.
Remember how different things were under Biden? Our enemies felt emboldened to act with impunity while America retreated from the world stage. Iran's regime grew bolder, China threatened Taiwan, and Russia invaded Ukraine – all because they sensed American weakness.
Now Trump is back, and suddenly these same regimes are scrambling to figure out how to respond to real American leadership.
The implications go far beyond Iran. If Trump moves forward with strikes and China and Russia prove unable to meaningfully respond, it sends a clear message to every ally and enemy worldwide: America is back, and the axis of authoritarianism isn't nearly as powerful as they pretend to be.
Patriots across America should be asking themselves: isn't it refreshing to have a president who makes our enemies nervous instead of our allies?
