To re-seize the initiative and get deterrence going
By J. E. Dyer
This fight must be to win.
By J. E. Dyer
This isn’t news; it’s a polemic
By J. E. Dyer
Hamas' purpose was to attack the unity of the de facto Middle East coalition – a coalition against radical Iran – forming through the Abraham Accords. The premise of the attack was that framing the conflict as a response to an outrage against Al Aqsa, and forcing Israel to strike back hard, would peel away the Arab partners to the Abraham Accords.

Got your amendments right here, Mr. President
By J. E. Dyer
The impetus for a break-up depends mostly on how badly "RED" America wants to escape the repressive policy overreach of "BLUE" America.
By J. E. Dyer
The pretense of honoring the rule of law is already gone. It was gone under Obama for years, but it has now emerged into the open as a change in the rules of engagement.
By J. E. Dyer
In military planning terms, Soleimani was the operational center of gravity for Iran’s proxy campaign throughout the Middle East, from Iraq to Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. That operational center of gravity just received a knockout blow.
By J. E. Dyer
Probably the most overlooked aspect of the “flags on the sidewalk” phenomenon in Iran is that, as the regime paints those flags everywhere, hoping Iranians will step on them, it is basically symbolizing its – the regime’s – effective “occupation” by its obsession with the Great Satan and the Little Satan.

Shadow battle with Iran continues
By J. E. Dyer
It has been clear for some time now that Iran has been eyeing the Golan as a gateway to military leverage over Israel. With U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty in the Golan, the vector of geomilitary momentum will shift significantly.
By J. E. Dyer
In America, Ilhan Omar has the right to express anti-Semitic views, using, if she chooses, the same anti-Semitic themes as Nazi propagandists. Her constituents in Minnesota have the right to elect her to Congress. But that doesn’t mean any of them has a right to any committee assignments for Omar in the House of Representatives, much less choice ones like the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
By J. E. Dyer
The U.S. leaving Syria won’t mean Syria descending into chaos. I can’t say I like what it does mean for Syria. But chaos is not in the offing.
By J. E. Dyer
the timing of the migrant caravan tells its own story. If we look at it as a move by Russia and Iran, in particular, it can be logically recognized as part of a campaign to attack U.S. interests on a broad front. The motive is to increase the pressure on the Trump administration across the board, partly but significantly because Trump is shifting his strategy in Syria toward going for Tehran’s solar plexus by kicking Iran out of it.
By J. E. Dyer
AMLO is all for tearing down borders – except that of course Mexico gets to have them, and rely on them to protect policies on economics and other issues. Mexico moreover gets to use the power of the nation-state to … well, not to put it too delicately, to extort the United States.
By J. E. Dyer
It probably doesn’t feel this way to the people trying to explain why Israel has to defend herself, but over the past week, since Hamas’ border fence “protests” from Gaza cranked up, there has been a distinctly tinny, perfunctory sound to the adverse media coverage and political shouting.
By J. E. Dyer
The source of the report claiming that Israeli F-35 strike-fighters flew into Iranian airspace during the past month was a sensationalist Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. So the claim seems most suspect.
By J. E. Dyer
As long as the mainstream media have rumors of geniuses and *********to combat, they may not be able to mount a concerted, thematic counter-effort against Trump’s actual policy moves.
By J. E. Dyer
A report is also circulating that a top member of the clerical council in Qom has expressed support for the popular protesters. That doesn’t mean anything specific is going to be conceded to the protesters. But it does mean, at the least, that at least some on the council see a need to appease the people
By J. E. Dyer
The pretext for Iran, as always (since 2014), is “defeating ISIS.” Iran has exploited this strategic pretext in order to gobble up the territory that will form her land bridge.
By J. E. Dyer
By conducting numerous tests of nuclear-capable missiles, Iran has been daring the UN and JCPOA parties to stop them. Now that Trump looks prepared to call Iran’s bluff, the mullahs are suddenly ready to negotiate the missile program.
By J. E. Dyer
NFL players who refuse to honor America’s symbols as a way of denouncing the police (or, apparently, white people) are wrongheaded. So are those who make excuses for them
By J. E. Dyer
Israel is in this as a fight for her existence, and will not be deterred or limited by the military arrangements of others. Put more bluntly, Russia’s interests in Syria, and effective control of Syrian airspace, will not hold a veto over Israel’s strategic latitude.
By J. E. Dyer
Kelly’s walking into something that will be a tougher challenge than homeland security. He’s a good choice, and we have reason to hope for good things to come of it.
By J. E. Dyer
Bottom line: Trump didn’t expose sensitive information about intelligence sources and methods. (Keep that in mind. Trump has not exposed anything.)
By J. E. Dyer
Iran, Assad, and Hezbollah tried to sneak in yet another high-value arms shipment via the Damascus Airport. Israel's destroying the shipment is a reminder of the IDF’s readiness to react immediately
By J. E. Dyer
It’s a new world we’re in today, the world of Big Data. The handling of Big Data has been oozing out beyond the boundaries of the Fourth Amendment for some time now. Trump was a victim of this
By J. E. Dyer
Surprisingly, Israel not only went public about the strike and missile intercept but followed up with an explicit vow to destroy Syria’s air defense systems if they are used against IAF aircraft again
By J. E. Dyer
The long and short of the "Trump/Russia-election" line of attack is that the Obama Democrats can’t run it without implicating every unsightly thing the Obama administration did to set it up.
By J. E. Dyer
That law enforcement hasn’t identified the perpetrators is a big “tell” here. It tells me this is a suspicious development, not legitimate evidence of a spontaneous wave of anti-Jewish crimes.
By J. E. Dyer
The mainstream media and the Left keep telling you everything is in chaos and everyone hates Trump.None of it's true. It’s amazing how much of the supposedly factual reporting turns out to be false.
By J. E. Dyer
"People are not quitting and running away in disgust. This is the White House cleaning house.”
By J. E. Dyer
Free speech doesn't mean the taxpayer-funded government never has an opinion on what it will/won’t subsidize. If that were the case, society would never have an option to refuse to pay for anything
By J. E. Dyer
Earlier this week, the public learned that the entire $1.7 billion had been transferred to Iran in cash, like some illicit deal--which it was.
By J. E. Dyer
Does anyone out there know anyone who would stick a laptop in the mail, in a cavalier manner that would leave it susceptible to being “lost”? Is it conceivable this person might become PRESIDENT?
By J. E. Dyer
A key feature of “Trump truth” is Donald Trump’s unvarnished, attention-grabbing imprecision when he frames contentious statements.
By J. E. Dyer
However long Boris struts and frets on the world stage, he’ll be by far the most entertaining Official Foreign Minister out there--And by no means the most foolish.
By J. E. Dyer
The Department of Justice initially censored the transcripts of the terrorist Omar Mateen, perpetrator of the Orlando Massacre, deleting his pledge to ISIS.
By J. E. Dyer
Nancy Reagan's support for Vietnam vets was described, “She cared when it seemed nobody else did”
By J. E. Dyer
Was this a catastrophic display of incompetence by Navy personnel or a big lie by the Iranians?
By J. E. Dyer
Political correctness kills-That’s the message from the San Bernardino terror massacre
By J. E. Dyer
Russia launched the cruise missiles for 2 reasons: To prove it can and to show it has Iraq's support
By J. E. Dyer
Israel has never faced the reality of Russia potentially vetoing its air defense decisions
By J. E. Dyer
Assad functions now as a cover for the real objective: Russia & Iran establishing control of Syria.
By J. E. Dyer
Iran has not agreed to give up anything needed to acquire a bomb or cease any aggressive behavior
By J. E. Dyer
Dear Pres. Obama, A “deal” in which one side makes all the concessions is, of course, a “surrender.”
By J. E. Dyer
Activists from US, France, Germany & from Iran's media are aboard because the ship's a cause célèbre
By J. E. Dyer

In the last weeks of the talks the US excluded every other delegation from negotiations with Iran.
By J. E. Dyer
Israel has never invoked the agreement, but Israel sources say that its importance lies in its very existence.
By J. E. Dyer
The Senate formed a bipartisan panel investigating money from the Obama adm. to an anti-Bibi group
By J. E. Dyer

By J. E. Dyer
Remnants of Assad’s nuclear program are alive and well, under the control of Hezbollah and Iran
By J. E. Dyer
Under Obama, US foreign policy is losing sanity & common sense in diplomatic representation abroad
By J. E. Dyer
We would be fools to take seriously assurances from Joe Biden.
By J. E. Dyer
The White House wanted to defame Netanyahu, undermine his reputation, impugn him & his policies

By J. E. Dyer
Another nation – probably Iran, possibly Russia and/or Syria – is entering the fight in Iraq in a new and fully committed way.
By J. E. Dyer
ISIS has no intention of “marching on” Baghdad. The Sunni affiliates of ISIS are going to disrupt life there.
By J. E. Dyer
There is now NO possible explanation for not evacuating at least non-essential personnel from the U.S. embassy and consulates in Iraq.
By J. E. Dyer
ISIS is executing, slowly but surely, a pincer move on Baghdad.
By J. E. Dyer
The ISIS guerrillas are a problem for Iran. It arose because of the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war.

It would be so catastrophic to not increase the debt ceiling that Senators must have the option of avoiding the people’s scrutiny.

We are in uncharted territory today. The answers for the GOP going forward may not be found in the events of the past.
By J. E. Dyer
Each and every permutation of artificial “fertility” will wind up in court at some point.
By J. E. Dyer
There may no longer be a unifying “center” to hold the GOP together.
By J. E. Dyer
As happy as I am to see the EPA and other agencies off the job, I’m concerned about morale among the hard-working law enforcement and essential-services folks.

He gets that we can’t just sit still, paralyzed by bad press and Democratic talking points.
By J. E. Dyer
Obama’s supporters in the media (and no doubt in Hollywood, politics, and the academy) see a light at the end of this tunnel...

We're asking U.S. troops to go into Syria without an overwhelming advantage, and without minimizing our risks.
By J. E. Dyer

I’m skeptical that we have any intention of taking action against Syria – even punitive action, with no view to an outcome or end-state.

Is this the face of Christianity, as Christian Century would like to see it displayed? For my part, I repudiate it without hesitation.
By J. E. Dyer
Western culture as a whole lost the habit of defining authority for social purposes, and training its children to both respect and administer it.
