The Israeli Barbwire Surrounding America with Sargis Sangari

Today on the Two Mikes, Colonel Mike and Dr. Mike had the opportunity to speak with a noted

U.S. combat veteran, Middle East Expert, and a fellow podcaster on the America Out Loud

Network, Sargas Sangari.

The subject of our discussion was the brewing trouble in Iran. Just before we spoke, Trump

changed his mind and decided to not attack Iran because its government had announced it

would no longer fire on the demonstrators and would not execute the one of the leaders of the

uprising who had been arrested. Mr. Sangari noted that the step back from war was a good

thing, but some time would have to pass before we can judge the cease-fire to be success. The

three of us then discussed whether the U.S. interest in Iran was important enough for American

forces to bomb and fight on the ground there. Mr. Sangari said that the nature of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East is so confused and Israel-dependent that it is hard for the United States to remove itself from the web of barbed wire in which American leaders and the Congress have bound U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East for the past half-century. Obviously, it is not the responsibility of the President of the United States to become further involved in military activities in the region simply because Iranians are killing other Iranians. But because we are caught in the aforementioned web, U.S. political leaders are always worried about

increasing violence that would force to the U.S. commit military forces to ensure Israel is protected. And, absurdly, the President also would commit U.S. forces against Iran even if it was Israel who undertook a covert attack to reignite the battle between Tehran and its population – which is far from being impossible, and may even be likely.

In the Middle East, the U.S. government is always at its worst because we have no diplomatic

pull -- as all of our politicians and policy makers are on Israel’s payroll – and our politicians want

nothing to disturb their ongoing donations from Jewish American billionaires or organizations,

which, of course, power each parties election campaigns.

Is there a way out of this deadly web for the United States? Of course there is, but it takes

courage and nationalism, and it requires the compete abandonment of the murderous values

that have made the United States and the EU nations a growing cesspool of idiocy, depravity,

illegal aliens, and growing authoritarianism. First, consistently elect presidents who know their

binding duty is to protect the sovereignty of the United States and the lives of its people, and to

never go to war simply because other nations are at war, which is what we have been doing for

more than half-a-century. If all the Iranian people want to fight their government to the death,

let them, it is their prerogative to do so. Likewise, Jews and Arabs, and, further afield, Russians

and Ukrainians. The only words that should come out of any U.S. Presidents mouth is “I’ll get no

American soldiers killed in a war in which we do not have a life-and-death interest.”

Likewise, we need no Presidents who publicly moan, groan, and weep over the number of

Ukrainians and Palestinians who are killed each week. That is no skin off the nose of Americans.

And perhaps more to the point, no other nation came to assist us in the Vietnam, indeed most

nations and there peoples cheered on those fighting us. the president first need to be disciplined by Congress for usurping the war-making power, which cannot be delegated. The tragic record of our post-1945 foreign-policy history reveals that every time we wage an unnecessary interventionist war we lose many lives and billions of dollars, and win nothing more than momentary respite to again prepare to send the U.S. military overseas to fight in wars that threaten neither our existence, economy, or liberty. Indeed, it is always those very wars that threaten our existence, economic viability, and liberty.

The Middle Eastern web that Mr. Sangari so well described, is an American-made web built on

many decades of mindless diplomacy; loyalty to Israel, a country that hates us; the

immeasurable avarice of our political leaders; and an idiotic, almost religious belief in an

American exceptionalism defined as the duty of the United States to save every endangered

foreign ass in the world at the cost of the lives of their kids, the breaking of their bank, and the

viscous division of Americans between those who know interventionism paves the road to

doom, and those who cultivate as many wars as possible to pad their wallets, to make

themselves feel good, and to get the children of the non-interventionists killed, wounded, or

maimed.
