Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one God; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

- John Henry Newman

The first heavily publicized move by the United States military and the Israeli military in this conflict was to kill the head of state of Iran, the 86-year-old Ayatollah, replaced by his son, who's apparently more anti-Western than he was, so I guess strictly speaking, that wasn't very effective.

But if you take three steps back, and no one did because everyone's busy denouncing him as Hitler and the most evil man in the world and we're so grateful he's dead, when was the last time the United States military or working in conjunction with the Israeli military, killed the head of a world religion? Is that wise?

It's not because we agree with all the world's religions, it's not an endorsement of Shia Islam to say maybe we should pause before killing its 86-year-old leader. It is instead an acknowledgement that that might have consequences that affect the United States and Europe and the world, but particularly the United States, since we are the United States and we have children and hope to have grandchildren, and what will be the downstream effects for them when you kill a religious leader? Did killing the religious leader cripple their command and control structure? Were they unable to launch missiles and drones when we killed the 86-year-old Ayatollah? No. Because he knew he was gonna be killed. That's why he stayed above ground, apparently. He wanted to be martyred.

Now, why would he wanna be martyred? Maybe because he wanted a religious war.

Why did we kill him? Maybe because we wanted a religious war.
Now, why would we want that? Why would the Israelis who got us into this war, everyone admits that now, sorry, why would they want that? I don't know. Think about what would happen if this war leads to the destruction of the Dome on the Rock and the Al-Aqsa complex on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. And we'll explain in a second how that could happen. A war that began with the killing of the head of Shia Islam. What would happen?
Well, here are the numbers. There are about 15 and a half million Jews in the world total. There are 2.5 billion Christians and there are about 2 billion Muslims. So whatever happens next is not going to be a fight between the Muslims and the Jews, because 2 billion versus 15 million, not much of a fight.

This is likely to be, if not brought under control immediately, or maybe it's too late, a war, a religious war, the one that Lindsey Graham described, between Muslims and Christians. And it's not going to play out in the Middle East because this is a regional conflict, but it's a global conflict where every big power has a stake in what happens. This will play out globally, and it'll play out in our cities. Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States. There are not that many Muslims in the U.S. What, five million or something like that? But it's the fastest-growing religion. That's enough to cause problems.

For sure, in Europe, 65 million Muslims, the second biggest religion in every European country, fastest growing in every country. Australia, same thing. Second-biggest, fastest-growing. New Zealand, same thing. Second-biggest, fastest-growing. Canada, same thing. What happens in all those countries? Those Christian, Western, white countries. What happens there? If there's the religious war that Lindsey Graham and clearly the Israeli government and some in our government are hoping for, what happens? Those countries suffer more than they have suffered.

Pray that the spell breaks and the world is saved.

If you're a bystander to a war and happen to get caught up in it like the Gulf States are right now, no one is going to protect you. These security guarantees, formal and informal, are not real. Downtown Dubai can still get destroyed and your economy destroyed for a generation, because who's going to stop it? You're on your own. So countries that feel they're sincerely on their own have every incentive to have the most effective deterrence possible. And that would at this point be nuclear weapons.

So you're going to see a lot more nuclear-armed states in the next few years without question. So if the point of this was to preserve the status quo on nukes, it had the opposite effect. But the point of this was not to preserve the status quo at all. It was to overturn the status quo, to usher in a new age. That's the point of this war. This is a pivot in history, and a lot of the people supporting it know that.

Now they're really in two groups.

One are people motivated by religious impulse that would include some Israelis, some religious Jews. Not all, but some. And that would include some Christians, Christian Zionists. And both groups believe that they're helping to accelerate the end of history. Armageddon, the end of time, the return of the Messiah, you know, however you want to describe it. But both groups believe that history is linear. It began in one place and arrives at another with the return of God to earth. And then history ends and we are redeemed or damned, depending. So that's the basic idea.

And both of these groups seem under the impression that they can force God's hand, that they can bring this about through an act of will or violence, which is to say, both groups believe on some level that they are God, which they are not. They're not in charge of history. And you can't force God's hand. He's in charge. You are not. But both groups have lost sight of that.

So that's their motive. And then there are secular boosters of the war, promoters of the war, planners of the war. And their vision, while not strictly speaking religious, is not really so different. They would like to usher in rule by technology, whether that's mass surveillance, whether it's transhumanism, the merging of man and machine, but the rule of the earth by technology. And there are a lot of people who want this, and a lot of people who think it's inevitable.

And this is the moment where that age of history begins with this war. So again, this is not a war that is confined to the region. This is not a war between the United States and Israel and Iran. This is not a war designed to prevent a rogue state from getting nukes. It was never that. This is a war designed to usher in a new age of man, a new period in history, a new world.

And so wars like that are fundamentally theological in nature. That's theology, whether it's secular or religious, it's still theology. These are articles of faith. This is an eschatology. And wars like that aren't resolved quickly, because we're talking not just about disarming a madman. We're talking about changing the nature of life on this planet forever.

No two countries have the same priorities. That’s why it should be illegal to yoke our military to a foreign power in war. Bret Weinstein on how it happened: https://youtu.be/pcc5jUcORUY

So, if you have questions about this war, whether it's in your interest, your country's interests or not, that's never a question that's occurred to Ben Shapiro. Is this Good for America? It's really not a consideration. But if it's under your consideration, if you've raised that question, you are tantamount to a Holocaust denier. You’re insane, you're a crazy person. You probably think the moon landing was fake and 9/11 was fake.

But there is a pretty easy way to settle any debate about 9/11, which is by declassifying the millions of pages of classified documents that might explain what 9/11 was. But that's never under consideration. We could end this debate right now. We won't, of course.

But you're a bad person. And above all, you are a disloyal person. Disloyal to the United States. You are “rooting for Iran to win.” You're part of the grievance party. How dare you complain? How dare you have grievances? Pretty weak, coming from a guy who literally knows nothing about the rest of the world at all.

So you know, you can get annoyed by it. At some point, especially if Iran wins, people like that will double their calls to arrest anyone on the other side. They're already calling for it. “These people should be investigated. Anyone who's against this should be investigated. They should go to jail.”

Their ideological opponent should go to jail. Who's the totalitarian here?

And you'll hear a lot more of that. But you will not see people pay a ton of attention to yelping, childish yelping like that, totally uninformed screaming like that, ever again.
Because again, this conflict has entered what the military refers to, euphemistically, as the kinetic stage. People are actually firing munitions at each other. So it kinda doesn't matter what people on the sidelines say at this point. This is a hot war and it will be decided by force.

We've exited the part of the exchange where it's two guys in the parking lot. “What'd you say? I'll mess you up!” And we've gotten to the part where one guy just punches the other guy in the face and keeps going unless he is stopped.

So that's exactly where we are. So it doesn't kind of matter what you said before the punching started.

Not that Ben Shapiro has any experience with that, but it's just true that once people start hurting each other, words matter less. And the dominant party will emerge victorious. That's exactly where we are.
