John Kerry is and always has been worthless at best; on the other hand, Benjamin Netanyahu rocks

Compare and contrast.

Here's what Global-Test had to say on Twitter about the recent unrest occurring in Iran:

With humility about how little we know about what's happening inside Iran, this much is clear: it's an Iranian moment and not anyone else's. But the rights of people to protest peacefully and voice their aspirations are universal and governments everywhere should respect that.
He's got some nerve. This, coming from a guy who worked for a regime that turned a blind eye the last time there was this kind of groundswell (2009, when post-America could have made the difference in Iran's election that year), unfroze Iranian assets to the tune of billions of dollars, and orchestrated a document of pure appeasement allowing the regime to continue amassing an arsenal of missiles and foster terrorism and, at the most, delay for a few years its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Then there's the message of full-throated support for the Iranian people from the most visionary and principled leader of any Western nation, Benjamin Netanyahu:


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday expressed support for Iranian protesters, and condemned Tehran's claims that Israel is responsible for the demonstrations. 
“Brave Iranians are pouring into the streets. They seek freedom. They seek justice. They seek the basic liberties that have been denied to them for decades,” Netanyahu said in a recorded message.

Netanyahu also called Iranian claims that Israel is behind the protests “false” and “laughable.”

Says that all the money the Iranian regime is spending on its evil designs could have been spent on schools and hospitals. Says that one day, when the regime falls, Iran and Israel will be friends once again.

You really need to watch the video at the link. (Apparently it didn't embed when I pasted the above excerpt.) His delivery is, as always, half the impact.

The chasm between these views could not be wider.

  1. Bibi facing protests of his own, says it's fake news. His predecessor went to prison for 6 years.

  4. Now, back to the actual topic of this post: The US should express itself re: the Iranian unrest in such a way as to hopefully tip the scale and topple the regime. And Barack Obama should shut his pie hole and quit trying to influence anything in this world. Ditto Susan Rice. Ditto the New York Times.

  6. Not everyone agrees with you regarding the free press. Me, I hope the NYT never shuts up.

  7. “Peace” per se is utterly worthless. A peace that allows rogue states to pose a threat is undesirable, for instance.
    I’m all for a free press. I’d just like to se all freedom-hating organs go out of business

  8. OK, onto whatever is your way now, we have no choice if it's Trump's way too. There may be blood. And protest here in our Main Street. There may not. Good luck on your beneficent wish that the NYT go out of business. You and Uncle Donnie are in sync there too.
