The pointlessness of patty-cake - today's edition

The West got took:

A top Iranian politician who led the recent historic talks with Western leaders over the country's nuclear ambitions has vowed to continue buying and selling arms around the world, it is claimed.

In the latest embarrassing blow to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who presided over the talks in Vienna, Abbas Araghchi insisted that Iran would refuse to be shackled by nuclear deal.

According to the CIA's Open Source Center, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister has told state television that that he'd insisted the deal continued to allow Iran to 'buy weapons from wherever possible' as well as to 'provide weapons to whomever and whenever it considers appropriate'.

Araghchi's worrying claims come just one day after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's highest religious authority, told supporters that nuclear deal would not change Iran's policy towards the 'arrogant' U.S. - comments Kerry admitted were 'very disturbing'.

Araghchi's show of defiance came on Iranian state television in comments that were translated into English and made public by the CIA's Open Source Center.

It's really strange.  Most totalitarians have expansionist foreign policies, but the Most Equal Comrade, Secretary Global-Test, Susan Rice et al, while relishing chances to tighten their grip on post-America's throat within its borders, actually strive to diminish its stature worldwide.

How can one conclude otherwise than that they answer to a very non-American world vision?

That's the only explanation for how Global-Test can continue to show his face in public.  He doesn't see himself as humiliated.  In  his warped mind, he's ushering in a grand age of worldwide "equality" and "justice."
