President Obama: Playing With Fire

As you may have heard by now, our almighty Obama has turned his back on the American people, asking Iran for their help in defeating ISIS. If you are like me, you’re thinking: “well that doesn’t make any sense,” and you would be right in thinking that. Just earlier this week, we saw pictures and heard the reports of Iran’s celebration of the US Embassy takeover. Some want to brush this off as a “quiet and peaceful time of mourning,” but let’s call it like it is, there are a lot of people in the Middle East who blatantly just don’t like us ‘westerners.’ It is unorthodox for our president to be asking a country like Iran to aid us when we are fully capable of handling this situation on our own-given we had a president that had any knowledge of military campaigns.

First, let’s look at the relationship between Iran and Syria. Iran is Syria’s largest supporter, larger than Russia. Iran views Syria as a pathway to places such as Israel and will fight to protect that direct line. As well as this, Iran views Syria as an acting counterweight to the United States. This relationship was also sealed with the Iraq/Iran war, and was strengthened by the United States’ invasion of Iraq, where Syria believed they could be a possible target. Something else that is interesting to note, is Iran’s acknowledgment that Assad may be overthrown, and in turn has been funding and supplying weapons and training for the Syrians. The 2006 Hezbollah was viewed as a success and relied heavily on Iranian weapons and military tactics. The last I checked, Israel was one of our largest allies, so why would we partner with a country that was responsible for deaths of our ally’s citizens? Also considering that ISIS stands for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, this seems to pose an issue, doesn’t it? Could it be that Ali Khamenei is playing President Obama for a fool? Is it possible that our president is really this blind to the long running partnership between Syria and Iran? With Iran’s growing nuclear capability, could this be a decision that could change American life as we know it? Let’s be real here, if Iran jumps into the fight, they will not be supporting us, they will be fighting with ISIS against us and I wouldn’t be surprised if Syria jumped in to protect its alliance with Iran.

Yep, I also am unsure why the mainstream media has yet to pick up on this.

Something that I have thought of over the past several hours is Iran’s nuclear capability and the impact it could have on our military. Iran has long wanted to occupy the land to its west known as Iraq and has continuously voiced disdain for the United States. I have a theory, and it could be outlandish but we all know that 1500 ‘advisors’ will merely do nothing to stop the radical effort that is ISIS. In the wake of this, would we not send more troops to the region to better combat ISIS? Well what if we did? What if we decided to launch a fully manned operation in Iraq? This would leave a large majority of our military ripe for the picking in a land that Iran wants. Scenes from Pearl Harbor keep flashing through my mind, our ships grouped together, ignoring the idea of any tragedy such as the attacks that crippled our Navy that fateful morning- and let’s be honest, history has a funny way of repeating itself.

So what would happen if Iran is playing us for a fool? What if Iran is planning a nuclear attack? Would our military and almighty government be able to withstand such a strategic move under the not so watchful eye of President Obama? What would such an attack mean for the rest of the Middle East, including Israel? Would the most powerful man in the world, yes that’s Putin, lead Russia seizing the opportunity? Would that mean that China or North Korea would get in the mix? While our president has torn almost every relation we have, would anyone come to our aid?

Most importantly, could we be teetering on the edge of World War III?
