CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 15, 2026
WHAT COMES NEXT IS ALWAYS THE QUESTION WHEN PLANNING MILITARY OR ANY OTHER ACTION DESIGNED TO TOPPLE DICTATORS. THAT’S THE ISSUE IN VENEZUELA WHERE HENCHMEN OF THE ARRESTED NICOLAS MADURO ARE STILL IN CONTROL. IT’S ALSO THE ISSUE IN IRAN WHERE MASSIVE PROTESTS AGAINST THE THEOCRATIC REGIME ARE CHALLENGING THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE AYATOLLAHS. AND IT’S AGAIN AN ISSUE IN CUBA WHERE THE DESCENDANTS OF FIDEL AND RAUL CASTRO RULE OVER A NATION THAT WILL SOON BE STARVED OF VENEZUELAN OIL.
WHO DOESN’T WISH FOR FREEDOM FOR THESE OPPRESSED PEOPLE? FOR 47 YEARS, THE AYATOLLAHS HAVE RULED IRAN WITH AN IRON FIST, MURDERING PROTESTORS IN THE STREETS, HANGING PEOPLE AND IMPRISONING OTHERS, ALWAYS CLAIMING THEIR GOD WANTS IT THAT WAY. SINCE 1959, THE CUBAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OPPRESSED. THE LEFT HAS PRAISED CUBA’S HIGH LITERACY RATE, BUT PEOPLE CAN ONLY READ COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS PROMISED TO HELP THE IRANIAN PROTESTORS, ALONG WITH A SMOOTH TRANSITION IN VENEZUELA AND POSSIBLY TRY TO STARVE OUT CUBA. AN OLD SONG SAYS, “IT’S NOT WHERE YOU START IT’S WHERE YOU FINISH.” LET’S HOPE ALL OF THIS FINISHES WELL. I’M CAL THOMAS
