What do you do after you've repeated your talking points ad nauseam, and you're no longer getting things done your way? Well, what happens is that you realize what's left for you to do is beg. However, having been considered the moral authority for a long time, you cannot bring yourself to begging. So then, what alternatives are there from which to choose?
Faced with a situation like
that, Tom Rogan devised an alternative and used it in the article he wrote
under the title: “Biden is begging Iran to rejoin the nuclear deal,” published
on April 2, 2021 in The Washington Examiner. As can be seen in the title, Rogan
used the trick of begging Joe Biden not to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal by accusing
him of begging Iran to rejoin the nuclear deal. This is a trick you may think
of as a false reversal. It is one that's as Jewish as matzoh bread.
But because it is easy to say
something and harder to justify it, Tom Rogan devised an elaborate construct to
explain how it is that Joe Biden begged Iran to rejoin the nuclear deal. He
came up with something that may convince some readers he did the right thing
when he accused Joe Biden. But as you'll see, the explanation would fail to
convince the majority of populations in America and throughout the world ––
that taking the necessary steps to prevent nuclear proliferation, is anything
but the wise thing to do.
So, let's see how Tom Rogan
has tried to weave a tapestry of nonsensical tangents going in all directions,
to make it sound like Joe Biden took the wrong turn when (a) he accepted the
European invitation to join the talks aimed at reviving the Iran nuclear deal
negotiated in 2015. That (b) contrary to popular belief, Biden did not do the
right thing protecting humanity from nuclear proliferation. Or that (c) Biden
is on his way to repairing what broke when one madman listened to the Jews and
pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal.
Here is what Tom Rogan did to
that end:
Plucking assertions out of
thin air, Tom Rogan first leveled the false accusation that Joe Biden was
“desperately seeking Iran's return to the deal.” He went on to build on that
falsehood by saying that Biden's stance constitutes squandering leverage that
Trump had acquired by instituting a regime of sanctions. Rogan continued to
build on the falsehood by asserting that Biden had thus encouraged Iran to play
hardball in the upcoming negotiations. And he gave evidence to prove all of
that. Here is that evidence, expressed in his words but condensed for brevity:
“The US will participate in a
meeting with Iran, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia. But while the US
is expected to play a passive role in these discussions, the Iranians believe
they hold the strategic initiative. Iran's Fars News outlet reported one
Iranian's comment that no negotiations were necessary because the US can return
to the agreement and end lawbreaking the way it pulled out of it and imposed
illegal sanctions against Iran. This is not the rhetoric of a regime desperate
for sanctions relief”.
As can be seen, the bargaining
will take place between Iran and the other signatories to the deal while
America will attend only as an observer. And so, the first thing we take away
from this reality is that observers do not beg, therefore American will not be
there to beg. But instead of saying so, Tom Rogan said this was his proof that
the Iranians hold the strategic initiative. But what the hell is a strategic
initiative? It means nothing actually, except that it is the way by which Tom
Rogan has admitted he was an idiot and had nothing meaningful to add to his
argument.
And so, with nothing new he
can think of, Tom Rogan quoted an Iranian who spoke his mind. Here is what that
quote boils down to: The Iranian official might have been puzzled as to why
there was a need to hold a meeting of the signatories in the first place. It is
that when the deal was signed, compliance went well until America pulled out.
To get back into compliance, all that's needed, therefore, is for America to
get back into the deal. This means that to hold a meeting and bargain over
something that was settled long ago, would be an unnecessary ritual they can
all do without.
Tom Rogan looked at that
quote, and concluded this is not the rhetoric of a regime that's desperate for
sanctions relief. Well, that's what Rogan said from one side of the mouth using
one prong of his forked tongue. And here is what he said from the other side of
the mouth, using the other prong of his forked tongue: “The appropriate way to
deal with Iran is for Biden to keep all US sanctions in place. That strategy
would ensure that Iran's leaders will beg for a deal. It would recognize Iran's
economic collapse”.
Which Iran is Tom Rogan
talking about? Is it the one that's over confident and needs no sanctions
relief, or the one that's desperate and collapsing?
Thus, while drowning in the
sea of contradictory nonsense, which Tom Rogan relied on to confuse the
audience, he failed to reconcile the mess he created with the notion that Joe
Biden was begging for Iran's return to the bargaining table.
In addition, Rogan’s real intent being that he wanted to beg Joe Biden to keep America out of the Iran nuclear deal without appearing to beg, he failed there too because all that he managed to do was reveal he is an authentic idiot.
