The Trump Administration's attempts to tie Communism to foreign foes is correct, but doesn't go far enough.

An effective battle against Communism will recognize it is not purely ideological.

Communism is no longer the working class vs. the owning class. It is the Third World vs. the First World.

The success of this shift of framing from an economic war to one of ethnic grievance is illustrated beautifully in the State Department's Cuba report which revealed "Cuban operatives sought to aggressively recruit American minority groups as internal revolutionary agents."

Americans must keep up and realize they are the extension of European Civilization and that Communism seeks to destroy us. If we don't fight on the same battlefield of identity, we will lose.

"No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it. Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale. Their navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread. Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences. Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat. These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide. IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
