Trump getting a barrage of criticism for his foreign policy

  15 Jan 2020

Iranian propaganda mill is working overtime to undermine President Trump’s foreign policy as part of their anti-American efforts.  Attempting to justify the attacks on American assets, America’s enemies – especially the Iranian leadership — are proffering a number of anti-American narratives.  Here is what they are saying.

  1. The drone that was shot down by the Iranian Republican Guard Corps was in Iran airspace.
  2. There is no evidence to prove that Iran was behind the rocket attack that killed an American contractor.
  3. There is no evidence that Iran orchestrated the attack on the American embassy in Baghdad.
  4. Qasem Soleimani is a general in the Iran military and not a terrorist – therefor it was an act of war to kill him.
  5. Although designated as such, the Iran Republican Guard is a legitimate Irani military unit and is not a terrorist organization.
  6. The killing of Soleimani was a reckless act of war.
  7. The killing of Soleimani was a violation of Iraqi sovereignty – even though Osama Bin Laden and Bakr al Baghdadi were killed in surprise attacks in foreign nation – Pakistan and Syria respectively.
  8. Iran has been repeatedly and needlessly provoked by Trump’s warmongering.
  9. Despite widespread demonstrations against the Irani regime, the people of Iran are now united in their hatred of America under Trump.
  10. In Killing Soleimani, Trump violated international law.
  11. In killing Soleimani, Trump violated the United States Constitution.
  12. The conflict between the United States and Iran has been precipitated by Trump pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.
  13. Iran has not attacked any American assets since the Nuclear deal – at least not until Trump provoked them.
  14. The death of Soleimani will make the people of the United States less safe.
  15. Soleimani was a beloved hero in Iran – much like Americans admired Elvis Presley and the British admire Princess Diana.
  16. The shooting down of the Ukrainian commercial airliner was a result of Trump’s provocative policies – specifically the killing of Soleimani.
  17. The Irani retaliation was specifically measured because they did not intend to kill any American soldiers – when, in fact, it was good preparation and luck that those in the target zone narrowly escaped death or injury.
  18. Trump is dangerously stupid in dealing with the complex issues of the Middle East.
  19. Sanctions are needlessly hurting Iran and preventing more productive diplomacy.

In one form or another, these have been the sentiments, narratives and opinions emanating from Tehran in recent days – and the list could go on.  If there is an air of familiarity with them, you are not wrong.  Everyone of these comments have been made by one or more Democrats and echoed throughout the left-wing media-sphere by their cronies.

I would not go so far as to say that a lot of Democrats love terrorists, as did Republican Congressman Collins (with an immediate apology), but it can be fairly said that in their obsession to spin all things against Trump, Democrats are giving aide to terrorists by providing credibility to the baseless propaganda pouring out of Iran – and other anti-American entities.  In terms of shaping the narratives, Democrats – including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – are aiding and abetting the propaganda operations of America’s enemies.  It is hard to believe that they do not see the unfortunate consequences of their words and actions.  Even sadder if they do see them.

So, there ‘tis.
