Inept at the Helm of the American Ship of State

The saying used to go like this: “America went into Iraq at the behest of the Jews to kick Arab asses but got its ass kicked instead.” A new saying is gaining traction, and it goes like this: “America went into the Middle East at the behest of the Jews to deter the Muslim World but got deterred instead”.

The effect of a deterred superpower is what you see when you look at the Jews who used to encourage America to bomb an Arab or a Muslim country and you discover that they changed their tune. They used to cry out: bomb, bomb, bomb. Now you hear them and hear their gentile cohorts praise America for exercising restraint and refrain from bombing.

Did you ever imagine that you will someday read words to this effect: “Trump will likely conclude to stay calm [and] not play omnipotent global cop responsible for the safe commerce of those who oppose US withdrawal from the Iran deal, and to not weaken sanctions”? Now you hear it more frequently than you can imagine.

In fact, this is what you'll find at the end of a column written by Victor Davis Hanson. It came under the title: “Iran and the Levers of Global Power,” and the subtitle: “Vis-a-vis Tehran, Trump has more choices than previous presidents have had, partly because the US is now the world's largest producers of oil and gas.” It was published on July 2, 2019 in National Review Online.

What happened during the past few years was that––for some funky reason––the Americans came to believe that after centuries of living in misery, the Jews had learned how to avoid misery. And so, they handed the Jews the levers of power for their ship of state. It was a mistake. It's because the next thing the Americans knew, was that the Jews had navigated them into the sea of misery where they had been mired during the miserable centuries that they roamed the Earth.

Still, instead of taking command of the helm and steering themselves out of the morass, the Americans left it up to the Jews to get them out of there yet again. And once more, the result has been a pitiful sight to watch. One such example is Victor Hanson's column in which he tried to spin the facts of the existing situation in such a way as to make them look attractive. But look at them, and you'll get the sense of seeing a pig that’s wearing a Victoria Secret lingerie; one whose face was smeared with a jovial cherry-red lipstick. It may look funny to some people, but it is yucky to most other people.

In fact, nothing is more revolting than to negotiate a deal with a Jew in which you promise to give up something in return for the Jew promising to give up something. You deliver on your promise, but the Jew never keeps his part of the bargain. And when you try to recoup what you delivered; the Jew threatens you with physical harm. Believe it or not, this is how the Jews have behaved for half a century with the Palestinians; it is how they forced America to act regarding the Iran nuclear deal. It is what Victor Hanson and those like him are praising instead of condemning.

Whereas––during the negotiations that led to the deal––many smart people were predicting that the choice was between having a deal with Iran or risking war, the Jews rejected that scenario and accused its authors of trying to scare the public. Well, that's where we're at now since the Trump administration pulled America out of the deal. Once again, the choice has come down to rescuing the deal or having a war.

But instead of encouraging those who wield the power to begin looking at the situation from the point of view of the Iranians and addressing their concerns, Victor Hanson has done the equivalent of opening the drawer and pulling out the old and discarded arguments about how easy it will be for America to win a confrontation with Iran. In fact, here is how Hanson started his discussion:

“In the current American-Iran stand-off are a number of global players. That is hardly new, but what is novel is that for the first time in decades, there's almost no power that can obstruct or alter US effort to confront Iranian aggression in America's own time and fashion”.

But why is it that knowing that a war with Iran will severely damage America and Israel, these people continue to advocate for a behavior that will lead to war? Well, it does not take a PhD in psychoanalysis to figure this one out. Anyone that has watched youngsters grow up, will recognize such behavior as being typical of teenagers who try to act as tough as adults when in fact, they are only equipped with the wherewithal of a child.

And so, while trying to mimic the grownups they know, the teenagers display the insecurities of a child. Amazingly, these realities have also been the most permanent component in the Jewish culture. Unfortunately, it is what the Jews have transferred to the American culture.

As a result, you'll find that children have taken command of the American ship of state, and no one knows where they are steering it.
