After duly acknowledging that America is remiss in its
interactions with the rest of the world, it is amazing to see how the opinion
makers of that country choose to sidestep the glaring truth that screams at
them. It is that the Jews were given full authority to run America's foreign
policy, and they are making a mess of it.
What happens on a daily basis, is that the opinion making pundits
ignore reality and pick irrelevant matters, giving them weight they do not
deserve. They do so by talking about banal subjects as if they were key to resolving
issues of foreign affairs. The pundits do what they do, fully aware that their
arguments are thin, and will be ineffective if the government implemented the
recommendations they offer.
But why is it that people of the Robert McFarlane caliber –– a
National Security adviser who served in the Ronald Reagan administration ––
engage in this kind of self-deception? Well, he and others like him might be
motivated by one or more of the following three reasons: At best, they ignore
reality for strategic reasons. At worst, they are afraid to confront the truth.
Or they are ignorant of what's going on, which if true, should worry the public
just the same.
You can make your own judgment by reading Robert McFarlane's
article that came under the title: “The new imperialism,” published on May 23,
2019 in The Washington Times. Without once mentioning the Jews or Israel by
name, McFarlane explained why in his view, America is falling behind Russia and
China in the race to make friends abroad and be at peace with them.
McFarlane used the opening paragraph to state why Russia and China
are winning what he calls the second Cold War. Soft Power, he explained, is
such “things as the rule of law and freedom for individuals and the
marketplace,” qualities that used to be America's. But these qualities were
corrupted by Russia and China, said McFarlane, before they were “ironically”
adopted by them. He added that the two foreign countries learned to use Soft
Power effectively, and went on to outdo America around the globe.
The way that Russia and China corrupted Soft Power, was to rely
“on making seductive offers to finance, build, own and operate nuclear power
plants … proposals to build ports, highways, pipelines or railroads … military
cooperation and weapons sales” to the governments of emerging nations. And
before the ink was dry, said McFarlane, the emerging nations found themselves
indebted to Russia or China. To pay back what they owed, the debtors gave the creditors
“access to their energy and military, and mortgaged their infrastructure. Call
it what it is; The New Imperialism”.
This said, McFarlane asked why the US can't compete? To answer the
question, he brushed aside the ports, highways, pipelines and railroads,
concentrating instead on the nuclear power plants, about which he said this:
“Two things stand in the way of our catching up with Russia and China. The
first is that international competitions are not carried out on a level playing
field. The second is that we need to assure against a country deciding to
develop nuclear weapons”.
To elaborate on these assertions, Robert McFarlane engaged in
polemics that make you wonder whom he is talking about, and whom he is talking
to. Here is a condensed sample of what he said:
“When we're competing against Russia or China, they subsidize
their state-owned companies. Authoritarian states do that. We can't. But here
is where our version of Soft Power –– underwritten by our commitment to peace
in the Middle East is brought to bear. Every nation in the Middle East has
known that we operate on the basis of respect for their sovereignty and
territorial integrity. That counts for a lot. Our approach is to require that
any country that wants our help in developing nuclear power generation must
sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Let's be clear: We're entering the Soft
Power fight of our lives. Today, Russia and China are in a position to run the
table in the Middle East”.
It is obvious that when he said: “Every nation in the Middle East
has known that we operate on the basis of respect for their sovereignty and
territorial integrity,” McFarlane had stopped talking to an American audience,
and was addressing the nations of the Middle East themselves, other than
Israel.
What must have escaped Robert McFarlane, however, is that those
nations will not appreciate his flagrant insult of them. It is one thing to arm
Israel and give it the green light to invade its neighbors. It is another to
recognize Israel's annexation of the neighbors’ territories. That's what
America has been doing for decades. To call it respect for their territorial
integrity, is to do worse than add insult to injury. It is to kick them in the
teeth and spit in their faces.
This is not to forget that when Egypt moved to liberate the Sinai,
which had been occupied for six years, America intervened militarily on the
side of Israel despite being assured that Egypt was not going to cross the
border and go into Israel.
These facts on the ground explain why the people of the Middle
East, along with the rest of the world, lost confidence in, even respect for an
America that lives in denial. It is deceiving itself about the reality that by
associating closely with Israel, it is strangling itself in slow motion.
The sordid history of the last few decades, is why the nations of
the Middle East are rejecting America's offers and partnering with Russia,
China and South Korea to build their nuclear power generation plants.
