What would you say is the best way to describe how America
performed on the world stage since it was defeated in Vietnam?
The description that comes closest to what happened on the ground,
might go something like this: (1) Lose the hot war, the war of brinkmanship,
the war of words, or a combination thereof. (2) Surrender in one form or
another but make it look like it was the opponent that did. (3) Beat your
breast in triumph as you proclaim that you scored a decisive victory. (4) Go
home with your tail between your legs, while wrapped in the flag, and making
sure that it covers your rear end so that no one can see what your tail is
doing.
Once again, America is going through that often-repeated cycle,
and no one knows this reality better than Clifford D. May. But the puzzling
question is this: why does this Israeli-at-heart concern himself with what
seems on the surface, to be a purely American subject?
Well, that subject concerns Clifford May because the outcome of
the current machinations, will have a profound impact on Israel. The reality is
that the machinations involve America's relation with Iran, a nemesis of
Israel. These machinations relate to matters that concern Iran's growing
military strength, and its advancement in the development of nuclear science
and possible applications. This being of utmost importance to the colonial
aspiration of Israel as it relates to all its neighbors, not just Iran.
Having one ear and one eye in the White House and having the other
ear and the other eye in Netanyahu's office, Clifford May is smelling the whiff
of America's upcoming surrender in both nostrils. This is so unsettling to him
he was prompted to start working on achieving two seemingly contradictory goals
at the same time.
On the one hand, he is trying to reassure the Jewish
rank-and-file, that doesn't know what's going on, America is winning the war of
words, pitting itself against Iran and those who enable it. On the other hand,
he is trying to suggest to America's leaders, who know what's going on, how
they can reduce the damaging effect of their defeat.
To that end, Clifford May wrote: “Iran's rulers feel the pain,”
which is the title of a column he published on May 28, 2019 in The Washington
Times. You see in this piece of work an incoherent medley of the kind that only
a Jewish lawyer would patch together in the effort to convince his audience
that up was down, and that Iran rather than Israel, was feeling the pain of
America's defeat in the war of words. And that, by the way, is the war into
which America was pushed by Clifford May's Foundation and other similar Jewish
outfits.
Here is what you'll encounter in the four categories that were
mentioned above, as you read the article:
First, in the lose the hot war or the war of brinkmanship or the
war of words, Clifford May says he has an alternative to what has transpired
since America reneged on the nuclear deal. He wants the European partners to
renegotiate the same old deal with Iran but pretend it is a new deal. This way
America will be able to go back on its rejection of the old deal and accept the
new (old) deal without losing face.
Second, in the category of surrendering to reality but making it
look like the opponent was the one that did, Clifford May wants his audience to
believe that Iran and not America, is the one that's floating the possibility
of negotiating over the dispute between the two countries.
Third, with regard to the business of declaring victory while
beating his breast and that of his Foundation –– which has been beating the war
drums for decades –– here is what Clifford May is falsely reporting: Defenders
of the nuclear deal were dead wrong. They are now in a frenzy.
Fourth, when it comes to going home with one's tail between the
legs, Clifford May has praised Iran's Zarif for his negotiating skills. He
claimed that Zarif outdid John Kerry in previous negotiations. He also
expressed the fear that the same Zarif will outdo Mike Pompeo should the two get
together and negotiate something. Clifford May says he can only hope, though he
is not confident, that when all will have been said and done, Mike Pompeo and
Donald Trump will not give away the store.
But then, to protect the principles that power his colonial
mentality and that of Israel, Clifford May ended his discussion by honoring the
moves that have led to the defeat of America in the war where he and others
pushed it. Here, in condensed form, is how Clifford May expressed these
thoughts:
“Is it possible for change to come about through a new and
improved round of diplomacy? If that happens, it will not be because Iran is
enthusiastic about detente. It will be because it was crippled by sanctions,
deterred by military might and daunted by the risk of provoking an
unpredictable American president”.
