Quote: Under the Obama administration allegiance to the Iran Deal came to matter more than allegiance to the United States. Anyone willing to argue that Iran was eager to make a deal and could be trusted to keep to its terms had a smooth glide path into the liberal defense establishment that was busy sidelining the ‘hawks’ skeptical of Iran’s intentions. Churning out articles like Why Regime Change in Iran Wouldn’t Work and Don’t Fear the Hard-Liners didn’t make Ariane Tabatabai look like an Iranian government propagandist, but like an Obama administration propagandist. Even while the Obama administration was covertly investigating its political opponents for ties to Israel and Russia, it had so thoroughly blurred the lines that Iranian propagandists couldn’t be told apart from administration figures. Under Biden, who was backed by Iran lobby figures and benefited from an Iranian hacking campaign, the two groups have blended together so much that they are indistinguishable. Robert Malley was the prototype of figures like Ariane Tabatabai and others who are not merely anti-American in the traditional leftist fashion, but appear to have outright foreign allegiances. The Left, like most extremist movements, is no longer capable of making such distinctions. And neither is a government whose foreign policy ranks are being populated by Iran Deal advocates. Tabatabai’s elevation to Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict show how deep the rot is in the Department of Defense. The DOD, entrusted with defending the nation, has allowed itself to be suborned into ignoring national security and its allegiances in order to do the bidding of the Biden administration.
Not just politics, but the most fundamental kind of national security, requires urgently cleaning house in the Pentagon. It’s either that or hand over control over our government to our enemies.
Comment:
Yes. But … haven’t the “Democrats” already handed over our government to our enemies?
The article I quote from here is worth reading.
But I don’t agree with the writer that the reason for the Left’s friendliness towards Iran is in order to have a foreign policy win. I think behind it is Obama’s wish to have Israel nuked out of existence.
Obama rules - from the shadows behind moribund Biden.
Quote:
The enlightened souls of President Joe Biden’s foreign policy team don’t believe being the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and a brutal soul-crushing theocratic tyranny disqualifies Iran from sipping mint tea and nibbling petit fours with the diplomatic set.
The same team that sent an unmarked planeful of cash to Iran during the Obama years is back with a degraded version of the same bad idea. If we just give the Iranians enough money and love, they will show the world they are a decent kind of despotic regime. They don’t really mean it when they fund the slaughter of innocents, hang gays from cranes, or torture and kill their own citizens for the crime of not wanting to wear a hijab.
The mullahs who rule Iran are barbaric Islamists. The people of Iran deserve better and have been making efforts to replace them for decades.
Yes, the Democrats have already handed our entire government over to our enemies, and are deliberately ignoring national security in every way.
From fraudulently selecting a corrupt President compromised by foreign influence peddling, to the invasion of our borders (which they are orchestrating), to the shutting down of our energy supplies causing economic destruction, to the brainwashing and mutilation of our children, to the mandating of deadly vaccines, etc, etc…
They are all traitors by way of Marxist ideology, or bought by the CCP via the “elite capture” method - so of course, why wouldn’t they also be compromising with other enemies such as Iran?
Quote:
The Islamic Republic of Iran unambiguously regards itself as an enemy, not just an adversary, of the United States. How else to interpret “Death to America!” – the regime’s rallying cry for all its 44 years of existence? That many Americans refuse to grasp this is a puzzler.
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi flew to New York City on an Airbus A340 operated by Meraj Air which is subject (in theory) to U.S. sanctions for its ties to terrorism. While in America, he was afforded U.S. Secret Service protection and other courtesies he so richly does not deserve.
Mr. Raisi’s resume is especially bloody. One example: As a member of what was known as the “Death Commission” back in the 1980s, he facilitated the execution of thousands of Iranian political dissidents.
The Kafkaesque panel would ask prisoners such questions as: “Do you pray?” and “Are you willing to clear minefields for the Islamic Republic?” The wrong answer would lead – often within hours – to the gallows or a firing squad.
Mr. Raisi’s UNGA [United Nations General Assembly] speech was triumphalist. “The endeavors to universalize American ideals throughout the world have proven to be failures,” he asserted.
Translation: A growing number of regimes are rejecting the very idea of fundamental rights and freedoms – values that, in 1945, the U.S. established the U.N. to defend and spread.
He reiterated his government’s threats to assassinate Americans in retaliation for the killing of Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in Iraq, and for terrorist attacks throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Thanks to President Biden he now has a burgeoning war chest to devote to such efforts.
Utterly disgusting and appalling. Not only that our government would welcome this enemy, but fund them. Their actions speak louder than their words.
Yes, the UN should be destroyed, but instead, through the actions of our present traitors, their power and influence are growing.
