What do you do with a cruel, violent, unmanageable cat? A cat that leaves you with nothing but scratch’s as it often attacks? You can try to manage it further, perhaps assist it to change for the better but such miracles only happen in fairy book stories right?
Iran is a promoter of global terror, a wealthy nation that oppresses its people simply to uphold its theocratic leadership through the use of domestic oppression, violence and torture. This “cat” cannot be retrained, transformed into a useful part of the Middle Eastern Society. It must be culled, its people liberated and an example set for the rest of these authoritarian regimes.
President Trump promised to do so. Instead the “American Disease” of self righteous self interest prevailed. America historically tells the world a good story, one that promises to support people in their struggle to achieve democracy. This story bolsters entire populations to end their tyrants regime only to be slaughtered by their own people. If President Trump does establish a true peace between their nations a historic wrong will have been committed. Historically America likes to do business with “dictatorships” particularly ones who buy their weapons and toe America’s diplo-economic line. Iran will never do so unless the Ayatollahs Regime ends completely.
“Death to dictatorships” President Trump proclaims while America itself moves closer a form of authoritarianism. The so called “peace talks” places both Iran and America into a state of national self-interest. One should ask is peace in the best interest of both nations? Certainly not! America’s leadership and their supporters in the weapons manufacturing sector are making a financial bundle and Iran’s leadership wishes to survive 2026 no matter what. Iran is slowly gathering partners globally for uncivilized actions against the USA both domestically and internationally. Iran intends to “scratch out” American Leaderships eagerness to challenge the previous Middle Eastern Status qua. To remain in power each and every Middle Eastern Nation must oppress in some fashion its population and institutions. Never having experienced “democracy” these nations will decry American efforts to “civilize” them.
If America is to “democratize” the world, or even financially profit from it, America must follow Teddy Roosevelt’s foreign policy imperative “walk gently carrying a Big stick”, and be willing to us it to effect change in their favor. America often never acts out of kindness or empathy unselfishly. The America of today is self-centered, profit driven and ultimately possibly corruptible. A fine set of affairs yes?
