Red Lines Crossed: China and Iran

China and Iran crossed policy red-lines in recent weeks. Iran crossed President Trump’s declared red-line by executing some 30,000 protestors. China crossed a red line when they established bio-weapons labs and delivery networks in the U.S. The discovery of two Chinese Bio-weapon labs in California and Nevada and the assembly of a formidable naval armada around Iran suggest that President Trump’s efforts to promote peace through strength are about to be tested.

Trump has responded to 47 years of Iranian aggression with sanctions that have severely damaged the Iranian economy and red-line warnings to the Ayatollahs about repression and execution of protesters. Having issued the don’t cross the red-line threat, Trump has no choice but to enforce it if he wants to retain any credibility. President Obama issued a similar red-line warning to Syria over the use of chemical weapons in 2012. When he failed to follow through, his credibility and the Syrian people suffered.

Having dispatched most of the Mediterranean fleet to the Caribbean to deal with Venezuela and Maduro, the President has had to delay enforcing his threat until a new Iranian naval task force was assembled. That has now occurred. The deployment is very expensive and not sustainable for long. The Iranians have now decided to negotiate, but I believe regime-change hostilities will be commencing in the very near future.

Conflict with the Ayatollahs is disturbing enough, but the discovery of two apparent Chinese Bio-weapon labs from which the Chinese Communist Party could manufacture and release multiple pandemics and plagues is quite concerning. Wuhan in Nevada is no joke, and Chinese Bio-weapon labs west of the Rockies become even more concerning when one looks at the Chinese Triad Marijuana grow houses and distribution network that have sprouted across rural Maine under Governor Mills and her Chinese Grow house property transfer enabler lawyer brother Paul Mills. Janet seems to be too busy running for the Senate, giving out no-bid contracts to the legacy press and ignoring the Chinese grow houses, poison distribution network and pesky unbought-off reporters to deal with any of this.

The Chinese Bio-weapons labs and Grow houses have crossed a red-line. Janet Mills can ignore it, but Trump cannot and will not.

I was in graduate school in 1979 for the Iranian revolution, hostage crisis and Ayatollah ascension. There were thousands of Iranian students across the country. They began to return to Iran. The hostage crisis destroyed Jimmy Carter and paved the path for the election of Ronald Reagan. It was a tough pill for left-wing academia to stomach- they lost both Iranian student dollars and the White House.

In 2026 we have almost three hundred thousand Chinese students subsidizing left-wing academia and threatening American national security. They should all be sent home, as well as the domestic politicians and left-wing academics who allowed it to happen. We will see if the American people will tolerate these red-line crossings, both foreign and domestic.
