Dear Editor:

If Trump was never elected Iran would be taking over the “western world” right now. They would have nuclear weapons. The open border policy under Biden would have been going on for over ten years, and as a result there would be millions of Iranian and Chinese soldiers embedded in the country. Our military which was already very depleted would be completely depleted. All our battle ready soldiers would have been purged (a process started during Covid). 

I almost said Iran would be taking over the “world,” but their ally China would be helping. China is not stupid. China knows Iran would be coming for them too, China has been building up their presence in the Middle East and South America for years, and would be lying in wait.

After Iran lobbed nukes into Europe and the United States, China would make their move. They would do to the country of Iran what we did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end WWII. Iran's Twelver Shia branch of Muslim is radical and wants to eliminate anyone who is not, and China knows it.

China does not care about anybody, only the people who believe in their philosophy. Their presence in the Middle East and South America is for the oil supply. They don’t care about the people in the United States, just the land for farming.

I’ll end this with a line I ended with in a letter that Kiven (sic) wouldn’t print (he said in part the letter was “too depressing”), and if the Democrats win the midterms it would be “The end of the world as we know it.”

I defy anyone to prove my logic wrong, and please don’t respond with the stupid, moronic and asinine responses I’ve gotten before. “People aren’t like that anymore.”
