[G8 Diplomat]

Iran’s military has the world fooled

Indeed. Iran's military is hilariously ridiculous

Our own state department

In the world of military intelligence and international diplomacy, very little of what is really going on need be exposed to the world at large. These news items are probably just part of the game, and our approval or outrage is being played as part of a larger, unrevealed, strategy.

Yes, of course. That’s always been true, about many things.

The counter-intuitive, contrarian perspective in the way we humans respond to life.
The mind resolving not to lose control responding with wither the mindset of the optimist where
everything is going to be all right, nothing to fret about or the mindset of the fatalist, where there's
nothing I can do, my life as fated is preordained and there's no need to fret because there's nothing
I can do anyway.

Each of these factions has its own reason for the existence of a nuclear Iran, and one of them is to block further attempts at an American world empire.

Fools. It is not about American Empire. It is about keeping nukes out of the hands of terrorists, which is an important goal for every civilization on the planet. If Iran is nuclear, so is Hezbollha (remember how shocked the Israelis were when Hezbollha deployed an anti-ship cruise missile). How many large cities are the DC Marxist Cabalists prepared to see destroyed ? A righteous and just world would hold them personally responsible for the lives that will be lost.

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
