Iranian Official Crows About Biden Regime’s Weakness

The vultures are circling. The man in the White House is a puppet suffering from dementia, the Vice President is a cackling nonentity, and the world sees America’s weak and divided state. On Iranian TV on the day after America’s Independence Day, Hassan Danaeifar, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s former ambassador to Iraq, crowed about this weakness, and the opportunity it afforded to the enemies of the beacon of the free world.

Danaeifar declared: “American society has encountered serious problems.” No kidding, Hassan, what was your first clue? He explained: “There is serious polarization, which manifested itself, especially with the election of President Trump. The attack on the Congress is not insignificant.”

Indeed it wasn’t, but probably not in the way Danaeifar thinks. It was an incursion lasting several hours, in which a group of unarmed protestors entered the U.S. Capitol building. The only person who was killed was one of the protestors, under circumstances that have still not been explained. What makes this incident “not insignificant” is the Democrat Party’s escalating effort to use it as a Reichstag Fire moment, a chance to portray it as a large-scale “insurrection” in order to silence and ultimately criminalize all opposition to its agenda.

The real significance of “the attack on the Congress” is the fact that Americans have been held for months in solitary confinement for offenses amounting to nothing more than trespassing. The real significance of this incident is the Democrat Party and its media arm insisting that it was an “insurrection,” and the most serious threat to our “democracy” since the Civil War, or the War of 1812, or the arrival (according to Leftist myth) of “white supremacy” on the continent in 1619.

The ultimate significance of January 6 is that the Democrats are now increasingly open about their intention to use this attack to target Americans whose only crime is not believing their barrage of lies, and supporting President Trump. The goal is clear. Robert Grenier, who has served as the CIA’s station chief for Pakistan and Afghanistan, the CIA’s Iraq mission manager, and director of the CIA Counterterrorism Center, made it clear in NPR last February. He explained: “Even at the seeming height of the crisis immediately after 9/11, there really weren’t that many members of al-Qaida in Afghanistan. And the thrust of our campaign there was, yes, to hunt down al-Qaida, but primarily to remove the supportive environment in which they were able to live and to flourish. And that meant fighting the Taliban. And I think that is the heart of what we need to deal with here. Hunting down people who are criminals, that is something that which U.S. law enforcement is very well capable of doing and doing while preserving fundamental civil rights. That’s in some ways the easiest part of the problem. The difficult part of the problem is affecting the environment within which violent elements otherwise would be able to thrive.”

The environment in which the supposed insurrectionists live is, of course, that of people who support the former president and his America-First agenda, and oppose globalism, socialism, open border, and Communism.

All that is clear as far away as Tehran. And as this insidious domestic agenda advances, the weakness at the top emboldens America’s enemies. Hassan Danaeifar continued: “I believe that that current president is not a two-term president. He is a president who cannot make decisions. The Americans have been unable to make a decision with regard to Syria. They have made half decisions and failed to accomplish their plans – not only in Iraq, with regard to ISIS, but also in Syria, and in Lebanon. When we examine the region, we see that on various issues, the Americans have taken a passive position. This passive position spells the imminent collapse of America. You can rest assured. You and I have witnessed the fall of the Shah and that of the USSR, and we shall witness the fall of America.”

Indeed. It would be a major miracle if the addled old fool in the White House turned out to be a two-term president. Given his age and mental state, it’s highly unlikely that he will serve even one full term. But what will come after him will likely be even worse. What there is no doubt about is that this administration will continue to pursue America-Last policies that will further weaken the United States on the global stage, and continue to encourage the likes of Hassan Danaeifar and the sinister regime for which he worked. The question yet to be resolved is to what extent America’s global weakness is an accidental consequence of the Left’s policies, and to what extent it is an active goal they’re pursuing.
