Biden playing hard-ball it seems, (though it makes no sense to me); should we be expecting such toughness in his negotiations with Turkey, Russia and Pakistan, Iran's allies?
...indeed, the internet is an American product, (we are reminded,) and it remains in their hands; thanks to Trump even more so (in private hands).
...what makes you hate Americans so much GR, "Americans"?
It should not be hard to understand why. And you never negotiate with terrorists or criminals.
America is reacting to what Iran and Chy-na have already done to them. No, you do t go back to negotiate with these criminals. You take action against them.
There are many things these rogue countries are doing against us, aside from shutting down our news sources which is only minor.
They attack our electricity grids, hospitals, police and other government departments. There will be no negotiations here either. We will just attack them too and probably cause more damage like as in the Beijing blackouts. Probably a US operation. And good for them. If they manage to blackout that entire shit stain it would be a good thing.
That's not Biden's point.
This is a message to the Brotherhood, and those who support their notions.
Indeed Iranians are advanced as a People, what with their capacities, but their representation as such has limited credibility, given the conflicts they are involved in, (and who are their leadership's allies).
...do you remember, not that long ago, being subjected to men burning in cages (how many "hits" was that worth?); the Media attention: what drove (their) success then (as now)?
Speech, the Freedom of it: (that their People are cut-off from any dissent,) that included this manipulation of "us", is now cut-off to "them". A strong signal (now/as experts) sent to this Leadership, of their limitations driving an Agenda.
Biden will negotiate, but on his own terms. If he is a man of Principal he will be defending values which are Universally accepted and lacking in 'this' world, call it the "American way" if you like because it is the basis of their Constitution; beside the Person an identity, as an Individual, without the need for further discrimination or distinction: above Nations, a State.
