J.D. Vance Sounds Like Little Lindsey: 'Punch Iran hard'

Trump's VP pick an Israel hawk, who is already setting the stage for a U.S. war with Iran for Israel

Sen. J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s VP pick, wasted little time to show why the former president picked him, and said in an interview that the U.S. needs to stop with little pinpricks against Iran, and “punch Iran hard.”

"We need to punch Iran hard. That's what Trump did with Qasem Soleimani. That action actually brought peace by checking the Iranians,” he said, according to Channel 7. “If you want to check the Iranians, you need to withdraw their oil money, and enable Israel and the Sunni countries to work to counter Iran.”

Vance’s comments seem to show that Miriam Adelson, the wife of deceased hotel magnate Sheldon Adelson, will get her money’s worth during a future Trump administration.

Vance and politicians like Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., want Americans to fight their Holy War for Israel.

Graham posted a photo of him and Vance on X and gave his endorsement: “Bright, articulate, and a Marine veteran, he will serve President Trump well on the campaign trail. It is imperative we win this election to end the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration and Make America Great Again.”

Bullshit.

Graham and the Christian Nationalists in the U.S. have been salivating for war with Iran on Israel’s behalf.

Shortly after the 7 October Hamas attack, with no evidence, Graham blamed Iran and told Israel, “We’re in a religious war here. I am with Israel. Do whatever the hell you have to do to defend yourself. Level the place.”

Vance, who tries to present himself as an isolationist, also said Israel should not be “micromanaged” while it carries out the genocide because Jesus was born in the region.

It's Make America Great Again….After Israel.

Biden was accused of having “blood on his hands” for trying to appease Iran for the past three years in office and three American troops paid for it with their lives after an Iranian-backed radical militia attacked a base near the border with Syria, according to an op-ed published in The New York Post shortly after the attack. 

The article was written by Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a “think tank” founded to “enhance Israel’s image in North America” and “has been accused of attacking activists, journalists, and academics whose views do not align with its hawkish Middle East politics,” according to Responsible Statecraft.

Graham, the neocon war hawk who speaks for the vast majority of Congress when it comes to war, used the attack on the U.S. base as another green light to strike Iran, and “strike hard.”

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, posted that there was no question that Iran was behind the attack on the U.S. base.

“No more weak, ‘proportionate’ responses. Weakness invites aggression and escalation. Time to kill another Iranian general, perhaps? That might send the right message,” he posted, referring to the U.S.’s illegal assassination of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani in Iraq during the Trump administration.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark, who mocks Arabs killed by U.S. bombs as “goat-herders,” also posted on X at the time: “Israel will need reinforcements in this war. President Biden should follow President Nixon’s example from the Yom Kippur War when faced with another surprise attack on Israel fifty years ago this weekend: send everything that shoots on everything that flies.”
