The neocons are awaiting World War III the way a child awaits Christmas morning. All of America’s compromised politicians are pleading to the public that now is the time to attack Iran.
Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized President Donald Trump for discussing the matter with Russia’s Putin. “As Vladimir Putin continues his brutal and unprovoked invasion in Ukraine using drones provided by Iran,” Pence said. “I would say respectfully to the administration, we ought to be looking elsewhere than Vladimir Putin for advice on how to deal with this situation.” Putin allegedly told Trump that he would like to see the war come to an immediate halt, but the neocons need a swift escalation.
“If Israel needs our help to ensure that the Iranian nuclear program is destroyed once and for all, the United States of America needs to be prepared to do it, because this — this is about protecting our most cherished ally,” Pence told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.” Pence insists that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs are an equal threat to the US and Israel.
Putin’s Russia giving legal advice on the use of force is a bit rich even for the Russians.
Israel is defending its very existence. Russia is engaging in a barbaric invasion of its neighbor.
To China and India: if you continue to prop up Putin’s war machine, you’ll have…

“Game on. Pray for Israel,” the most prominent neocon voiced on social media after the attack. That is precisely how these people view war—one big game. Senator Lindsey Graham told CBS News that the worst outcome would be the survival of Iran’s nuclear program. “If diplomacy is not successful, and we are left with the option of force, I would urge President Trump to go all in to make sure that when this operation is over, there’s nothing left standing in Iran regarding their nuclear program. If that means providing bombs, provide bombs. If that means flying with Israel, fly with Israel.”
Graham believes it is “long past time to hit Iran hard” and admitted that he wants to see Iran “out of the oil business.” Last year, Graham attempted to introduce the “Tariffs for Terrorism Act” that would slap tariffs on any nation buying oil from Iran, specifically stating that he would like to target India and China. He accused China of financing Tehran through oil purchases and believed that China was unfairly benefiting economically from cheap Iranian oil.
Recently, after his unannounced visit to Ukraine, Graham called for 500% tariffs on any nation purchasing Russian oil, believing “Putin’s war machine would grind to a halt.” China warned that such a move would deteriorate any ongoing trade negotiations, but these neocons consistently undermine Washington and signal to America’s enemies that we are indeed a divided nation.
Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham co-sponsored the Foreign Pollution Fee Act of 2025. The proposal has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with economic warfare against China. The bill would place fees on goods like aluminum, cement, steel, and others based on the amount of emissions generated during manufacturing. These items have already been brought into the tariffs wars but the neocons would like stricter penalties. “It is long past time that the polluters of the world, like China and others, pay a price for their policies. This bill calls out the foreign polluters and rewards American businesses who are doing the right thing,” Graham said, openly admitting that the goal is to harm China.
Pence deemed China, Russia, and Iran “the new axis of authoritarianism.” Graham is prepared to add India to that list despite its ongoing neutral stance. Israel’s attack on Iran was a gift to US neocons. The stage has been set and the pawns are almost in position—“game on.”
