Diplomacy is the art of saying “nice doggy” until you can find a rock — Will Rogers
Except he doesn't seem to really want to commit to that. He is still making massive deals with US corporations and sharing massive data with the US, not to mention pushing through massive surveillance bills that only will benefit them.
"Nice doggy — go ahead and tear apart that stranger, it's totally worth it. Would you like to buy some rocks?"
When Trump first attacked Iran Carney practically ran to the nearest microphone to tell us all how he thought it was just dandy. The guy has repeatedly expressed support for the war because that's how he feels.
He's been consistent about not talking about the world how people want it to be, but how it actually is.
Iran has a nuclear program. If Iran builds a nuke it would be very bad. They also support a lot of terrorism. Terrorism is bad.
If you strip away all of the ideological bullshit, the vibes about who's a good guy and who's a bad guy, all of the rationalizations about who's historically justified in attacking who, what you're left with is Iran being weakened means less terrorism, less terrorism means less war. It's imperative that they are prevented from building nuclear weapons since that represents the potential for millions of people getting killed.
Iran does not want nuclear weapons. If they do end up with a nuke it is entirely due to the threat it faces from Israel.
Wow. What a great metaphor.
