America needs to get away from the idea that it is the policeman of the world.
This is necessary because whereas America thinks of
itself as the enforcer of what’s right, and punisher of what’s wrong, the world
thinks of America as the bully that’s terrorizing neighborhoods where the
locals want him out of there for good and forever.
Right now, you’ll find many around the globe who believe
that the American military is doing to the world what the American police are
doing to the colored communities in America. They believe that the situation is
made even worse by the fact that when it comes to foreign policy, America has
ceased to think for itself. It gave the power to command both its State and
Defense Departments to the lobbies that execute the instructions they receive
from abroad.
The worrisome part is that the lobbyists have been at it
for decades, with each generation passing on the philosophy and methods of
operation to the next. What is transferred from the retiring to the rookies are
issues that pertain to the interests of such foreign entities as Taiwan, Israel
and Cuba as well as a number of other South American and African countries.
Because the countries in question can be friendly or unfriendly to America, the
policies that result from lobbying vary from case to case.
Despite the heavy foreign elements behind these lobbies,
the individuals in charge of them have blended in the American society so well
that they manage to make the foreign desires in them, look and sound like
authentic American desires. In many instances, those desires translate into pushing
America to intervene militarily abroad to score a victory for someone or defeat
another for no apparent reason. And this is what draws the warmongers into the
effort, be they authentic American “nativists” or American-born foreigners
whose hearts belong somewhere else. The only people forgotten in this sorry
mess are the Americans who toil to produce the wealth that is squandered by the
politicians; those that agitate to send American boys and girls to die in
foreign lands for the benefit of other foreigners they never knew and never
met.
Reading an article that was written by Tom Ridge, who was
at one time America’s Homeland Security Secretary, you’ll get an idea as to how
intensely the emotions of these people are pumped up by their handlers when it
comes to advocating hatred and punishment for a country like Iran. Tom Ridge’s
article came under the title: “Biden risks emboldening terrorism by removing
Iran’s Paramilitary from terror list,” published on April 1, 2022 in The
Washington Times.
What prompted Tom Ridge to write his article is that he
heard rumors to the effect that the Biden administration is thinking of
removing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the terrorist
list that the Jewish and anti-Iran organizations, such as the National Council
of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), had lobbied to put on the list. In fact, there
was no good reason to do this except that at the time, America was presided
over by a madman with a mentality that did not exceed working as floor sweeper for
his Jewish masters. His tenure had been this low, this disgusting and this
disruptive.
What the lobbyists seem to forget is that when America
acts in a hostile manner against a country in response to the demands of
lobbyists, America effectively declares war on that country. Whether bullets
fly or they don’t, the same rules apply without distinction as to whether this
is a hot war, a cold war or one that is lukewarm. As to the main rule of war
from which all other rules are derived, it is that “all is fair in love and war.”
Anyone that is as savage as the other, yet complains about the unfair practices
of the other party, should be told that war was never meant to be practiced by
children. Go to your room and play with your toys.
Expressed in condensed form, the following is what the
anti-Iran lobbyists are complaining about, having completely disregarded that
wars are two-way streets where each side prepares as best they can to counter
the opponent with whatever weapons are available to them, used in whichever way
promises to yield a better result. Here is the childish complaint of the
lobbyists:
“The NCRI revealing that
the IRGC’s foreign special operations division, the Quds Force, had
established a dedicated naval unit with the goal of providing regional proxies
the training, equipment, and logistics to expand maritime operations against
[enemy] military vessels”.
Speaking
for the foreign lobbyists who complain about the progress achieved by Iran in
science and technology, Tom Ridge bitterly points out that Iran has a space
program for which it produces satellites that can survey the planet from space.
As well, Iran produces the rockets that can put those satellites into orbit
around the Earth. Instead of congratulating a “Third World” nation for
achieving this much this fast, Tom Ridge is allowing himself to be used by a
bunch of riffraff characters that hope America would destroy Iran, and hand the
ruins to them to do as they wish.
Tom Ridge
still cannot make the connection in his head that when America contemplates
taking such actions against someone, that someone will want to reciprocate. It
may also happen that the foreign entity in America’s crosshairs will beat
America to the punch and be first at bloodying America’s nose.
