“Unexpected Targets”
In a bitterly negative turn of events, the Trump administration is relying on a couple lightweights to “negotiate” with Iran over the terror state’s nuclear ambitions. Beginning last summer, when Trump forced Israel to stop just short of toppling the Tehran leadership, Iran must have been in disbelief over its good fortune. Think of it this way:
Imagine that right after the death of FDR, new President Harry Truman had sent envoys to Berlin to negotiate a ceasefire with the Nazis. In his delusional state at the time, Hitler did actually believe that some act of providence would turn the tide at the last minute, even as the Americans from the West and Soviets from the East were weeks from linking up. Of course that scenario is absurd. Specifically, why? Because The Allies demanded unconditional surrender. That meant the Nazis and the Empire of Japan were to lay down their arms and be occupied for a number of years, to ensure their warlike ways and crimes against humanity were never repeated.
That worked.
Iran though is another problem. For 47 years, since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has posed a threat to the whole world. Its global terror proxies have murdered thousands of people, and a decade-long war with Iraq killed many more. Iran is ruled by the mullahs and the Ayatollah, religious clerics that are deadly serious about their version of eschatology. This drives their foreign policy!
But when national leaders do not have a biblical worldview—and sadly, America’s do not—flawed models come to dominate. Mistakes are made, obvious mistakes, and the innocent suffer. The truth is, there is no fundamental difference between the policies of the Clinton administration, Obama administration, and Bush administration…and Trump. Back when weaklings like Warren Christopher ran the State Department, tremendous pressure was placed on Israel in standing virtually alone against Iran. Very obvious mistakes were made, so obvious that one has trouble being convinced they weren’t intentional.
We now know that many of our leaders these last decades have been bought off by evil, or blackmailed. The result is that the United States has looked weak. Remember when Secretary of State Madeleine Albright literally chased Yasser Arafat down a hallway because the killer dwarf left “negotiations”? How weak!
Plus, we know that the State Department has been pro-Arab forever.
Now, the heirs to those clowns are Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Two real estate developers from New York City. We now know that Witkoff’s disastrous financial deal a few years ago was covered by friends in Qatar. Kushner’s claim to fame is cobbling together the Abraham Accords. The pair either is clueless about the Middle East, or complicit in maintaining the status quo. I think of this as telling a friend not to run headlong into a train tunnel, even as we see lights fast approaching. The friend briefly stares at you, then sprints into the tunnel and in a few seconds is hamburger meat.
That’s what the West is doing with Iran. The Ayatollah should have been dead last June. And don’t doubt: the Iranians are terrified that the West will wake up and live in reality.
But as it stands now, Trump has sent Witless and Klueless to Oman to “negotiate.” Israel understands what the rest of the West does not: Iran is playing for time. If/when the next U.S. election is stolen, openly friendly administration operatives will be back in charge.
And people will die.
This week, Witkoff met for three hours with Benjamin Netanyahu. And as you might imagine, the adult in the room, the parent, had to level with Witkoff.
“The Iranian regime cannot be trusted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified in a high-level meeting with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on Tuesday, as he visited Israel ahead of negotiations between the Islamic Republic and Washington that are set to commence in Oman on Friday.
“In statements released after the meeting, the Prime Minister’s Office said, ‘Ahead of Envoy Witkoff’s departure to meet with a representative of Iran, the Prime Minister clarified his position that Iran has proven time and again that its promises cannot be relied upon.’
“The meeting, which lasted over three hours, was described as ‘positive and productive,’ according to i24 News, which added it was also attended by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Mossad chief David Barnea, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, IDF Intelligence Chief Shlomi Binder, and Air Force Commander Tomer Bar.
“According to the report, Zamir presented Witkoff with an extensive briefing and an in-depth intelligence overview, conveying Israel’s assessment that the regime is stalling for time and has no intention of giving up its nuclear project as part of the negotiations.
“He also noted that, should the regime attack Israel, the IDF would launch an immediate response of ‘extraordinary magnitude’ with strikes on ‘unexpected targets.’ Israeli officials also told Witkoff that there couldn’t be concessions on the issue of the regime’s ballistic missiles, which are also a risk to regional stability, i24 News reported.”
So, as usual, it comes down to Israel dealing with the problem. People often talk about the alleged “3D chess” that Trump plays. Maybe. But if he is, one wonders why he’s playing this chessboard if he could have solved the problem from a position of strength long ago.
I believe the answer is that subversives in our government have long been in place to reign-in any president that might choose to attempt the right thing. Trump has two weaknesses: his own gargantuan ego, and his tendency to trust bad people. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Last summer, we were on the verge of a New Middle East. Today, we are mired in another round of Iran running out the clock. So predictable.
All of it just might force Israel to hit Iran’s “unexpected targets.”
