As of late February 2026, the United States stands at a historic crossroads. With two aircraft carrier strike groups positioned in the Middle East and the Geneva nuclear talks stalled, the "drums of war" are no longer a distant sound—they are a daily headline. But as we approach our nation's 250th anniversary, we must ask: Is this the path we want to walk?
The History and the Ledger
Our history with the Middle East began with the moral convictions of leaders like Truman and JFK. Kennedy, in particular, understood that a "Special Relationship" with allies didn't mean a blank check. He was willing to enforce the spirit of the 1967 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) even when it was uncomfortable, believing that fairness was the only way to prevent a global catastrophe.
However, over the decades, the mission shifted. The "Heart" was replaced by the "Machine." We began prioritizing the Petrodollar and the Central Banking system over the very liberties we claimed to protect. Today, we face the reality that a bombing campaign in Iran wouldn't just be a military strike; it would be an attempt to save an aging 20th-century financial ledger. In a world moving toward decentralized systems like Bitcoin, using 20th-century bombs to solve 21st-century economic shifts is not just tragic—it is obsolete.
The Ripple Effect
We must be honest about the consequences of "going at it alone" or forcing a disarmament that history shows rarely sticks. Whether it’s the risk of a regional "forever war" or the economic blowback from powers like Russia and China, the cost of a strike will be paid by everyday Americans at the gas pump and in their bank accounts.
A Call for Red, White, and Blue Unity
But there is a different path. Being "Red, White, and Blue" doesn't mean following a party line; it means being a true American who thinks for themselves. The greatest strength of our country isn't our military might—it's our ability to unite, share information, and challenge the "official" narrative when it doesn't align with our values.
True unity isn't about everyone thinking the same way; it’s about acting together despite our differences. It’s about being "world lovers" who recognize that the people of Iran, the people of Israel, and the families here at home all want the same thing: peace, prosperity, and the freedom to build a future.
We don't have to accept the "inevitability" of war. We can choose to be the "Shining City on a Hill" once again—a nation that leads through innovation, diplomacy, and a rock-solid commitment to fairness. By thinking for ourselves and refusing to be divided by partisan noise, we can reclaim our national identity. Let’s stop fighting for the BANKS AND ELITES and start standing for the PEOPLE.
