The US CANNOT be negotiated with

Brian Berletic: Regarding US-Russian Negotiations

1. The US CANNOT be negotiated with – no matter what “leverage” anyone including Russia “thinks” they have over the US – the US only seeks space and time to reassert itself – no level of betrayal is beneath them (for more information please see: Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, Minsk 1, Minsk 2, every arms control treaty the US ever signed, etc);

2. The ONLY way for multipolarism to prevail is to create a world that forces the US into first – isolation economically and diplomatically, as well as containment militarily where its military has no possible means of fighting and winning through conventional, nuclear, hybrid, or other means and remains confined to US borders INDEFINITELY;

3. The US and all means of influence, coercion, and capture must be displaced/isolated until the special interests – corporations/financial institutions driven by a deep supremacist mindset collapse and are swept away by alternative interests in the US who genuinely seek to work constructively with the rest of the world – ZERO such interests exist in any significant degree in the US at the moment – this will take a generation or more, if it is even possible;

4. The rest of the world dreams of normality and returning to the “status quo,” but as the US has demonstrated with Ukraine, Iran, Syria, Libya, Iraq, and its growing confrontation with Russia and China directly – the interests running the US are only getting more desperate and dangerous – they will NEVER – accept defeat or compromise;

5. Any decision made by Moscow or Beijing or anyone else in regards to the US believing somehow the multipolar world has a seat at whatever table US interests rule from and will eventually be respected and accepted by these interests – are likewise dangerously delusional and will lead their people, and possibly the entire planet to ruination;

6. We can only hope that Moscow and its allies understand all of this – and are only dragging their feet to buy time and manipulate the US in turn – that this is their own version of uncompromising insistence on a better world in the same way the US insists on destroying it;

7. Unfortunately, I have met far too many people who constantly fall for Washington’s game of musical chairs through elections, the perception that the White House or Congress make decisions, that the people running US policy are reasonable and that they and their “allies” (proxies/client states) are guided by self-interest rather than deep, supremacist ideology and blind greed that short-circuits everything up to and including self-preservation.

Because of these deep misconceptions across the multipolar world, strategy to deal with the danger US special interests pose constantly and consistently falls far short and repeatedly ends in failure and all the tragedy that comes with it;

This is one of these junctures I sincerely hope I’m wrong about…

There’s Negotiating With Terrorists, AKA Americans

By indi.ca

I had a dream, about Kandyan Kings, the men who finally sold Sri Lanka out to foreign capital, for some petty advantage over each other, and paltry trinkets. Then I wake up and it’s the same thing. You can see it in the Arab satraps, played against each other for some IP-locked weapons and football teams. You can see it within Iran, as ‘reformists’ try to negotiate with the corrupt IAEA, like the neck negotiating with the knife. The fact, historically repeated, is that there’s no negotiating with terrorists. Assuming that colored people can feel terror, the White Empire are the worst terrorists in existence, and they get you through negotiations as much as eviscerations. Ask the Native Americans. It’s all one White Empire and they’re still divide and conquering. That’s the whole recipe, and if you don’t see it, you’re in the soup.

The lesson learned by the people that have it the worst and have the most reason for submitting to the violence of empire is that there is no negotiating with terrorists. Resistance is, in fact, the path of least resistance, unless you consider dying slowly to be not dying at all. That’s why Palestine is resisting, Yemen is resisting, the poorest among us are the most persistent and will surely be the richest in heaven, which judges our deeds, and not the petty land deeds handed about by thieves and border-drawers, who spread corruption in the land and call it peace. Those comfortable with their children and wealth, who do not come when clearly called, as the Quran says, will surely be condemned for their cowardice and collaboration. I’m a Buddhist and I believe this. It’s simply the idea of natural justice. As the Quran says,

If God did not repel the aggression of some people by means of others, cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of God is much invoked, would surely be destroyed. God will surely help him who helps His cause—God is indeed powerful and mighty.

There is no peace in the Middle East until the beast with many backers is excised, until the unholy people that wear their shoes in temples are given the righteous boot. ‘Israel’ exists only to divide and conquer the oil-rich regions, to conscript Semites to fight other Semites (whatever that means), to prevent what the West called the 1970s Oil Crisis from ever happening again. To the oil-rich countries that crisis was an opportunity, but over decades they’ve been spoiled by negotiating with the corrupting cancer in their midst. ‘Israel’ is placed in the Middle East simply to prevent the natives from ever uniting and gaining full control of their resources.

Understanding this clearly, the late, great Hassan Nasrallah said (in 1986), “Priority should be given to removing Israel from the scene, because it was established for the express purpose of dividing and partitioning the Muslim world. We are not only against the partition of Lebanon, but also against the partition of the Muslim world; this explains why we see no alternative to fighting Israel, with all means at our disposal, until it ceases to exist. Then we will attend to following [certain] steps.” People say that Hezbollah has been destroyed but Hezbollah is a movement, not a man, and history is still moving. The Carbon Crusaders are getting pushed out slowly but surely. You don’t hear this in the news, because they’re history. And I must admit that I often don’t feel it, because the present is a misery.

They say that those who don’t learn history are condemned to repeat it. They should just say that history repeats. Colonizers have been lying since they got off their ships but we keep ascribing some humanity to them. They’re just the placeholders for joint stock companies driven by algorithm. Across the old world, we have hospitality codes, especially re: strangers, but these are continually exploited by energy poor (be it solar/slaves or oil) people from the north that don’t share meals, wash their asses, or keep their word. We have to understand that there’s no humanity to white people, just a collapsed white hole where their souls used to be. I’m fine if people want to renounce their whiteness and join humanity, but anyone who identifies as white is an enemy. There’s no content to that culture beyond colonization, there’s no higher meaning than hierarchy, there’s no supreme creator at the top, just white supremacy. We keep extending hospitality to these people like they’re people and that’s a category that keeps repeating.

Hence today Iran is talking, again, with the IAEA, despite it like every other I (IMF, ICC, FIFA, whatever) being corrupted by the White Empire that lurks in the background of every good thing, corrupting every international institution. People from Iran to China keep trying to work with these international organizations because they’re a good idea, but in practice they’re just imperialism with hypocritical seasoning. Iran’s Supreme Leader said there’s no negotiating with these people (Americans) but Iran actually has a functioning democracy and keeps electing ‘reformist’ governments that take another kick at the football anyways (re: C. Brown). These reformists keep falling on their ass, but hope springs eternal. One hopes for some shred of humanity from whiteness but there’s nothing there. It’s just the background noise of the same old exploitation.

There’s no negotiating with the Empire except as a strategem of war, but the risk there is that they’re much better at this strategem than you are! Every good thing, every tool of resistance has been turned against us. Peaceful protests are now engineered for color revolutions in their favor.

Terrorism, once the last resort of the powerless, is now the first retort of Empire, they fund it and turn it on/off like a tap to give slaps to those they want to destabilize. And it works.

They devour their rebellions and regurgitate them as sick burns. Negotiation, nominally a way to ceasefire, becomes just a way to cease and desist your own existence, death by a thousand papercuts. There’s no negotiating with White Empire, as the Kandyan Kings could have known, were they not so busy angling for advantage over each other that they got taken advantage of. Certainly the Native Americans could have told us, as Americans violated every treaty they ever made. If you care about your terroir, there is no negotiating with terrorists.

In my dream, however, it wasn’t real Kandyan Kings, it was kids at a school function dressed as Kandyan Kings. Our cowardice repeated as ceremony. We keep teaching ourselves the wrong things, and it seems we never learn. I say ‘we’ broadly, of course, referring to the indolent and ultimately irrelevant. Somewhere deep in the Holy Land people listen, and the fire of Resistance still burns. May we draw light from this spark. There are surely signs for those who look beyond the headlines, at the heroes of history recommended by the condemnation of the worst people on earth. Those they call terrorists are in fact terroirists, and every accusation from White Empire is a confession. This is really why there’s no negotiating with these people. They don’t just massacre other people, they massacre their own language.

Glen Diesen speaks with Seyed Marandi & Alastair Crooke: Iran – Trump’s Negotiations Fail

Broadcasting from Iran, I ask Marandi and Crooke why Trump’s negotiations seemingly go nowhere. Seyed Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and an advisor to Iran’s nuclear negotiation team. Alastair Crooke has several decades of experience from British and EU diplomacy and negotiations.

This is just chaos. No-one is behind the wheel.

Mohammad Marandi: U.S. & Iran Talks Begin — But Doubts Loom Large

Prof Marandi with Nima

The US privately put aside its tough public stance by accepting indirect talks, limited to sanctions and nuclear issues.

The US also accepted the indirect negotiations to be held in Oman, Iran’s preferred location.

Still there’s a very long road ahead.

The Iranian comments are: Iran-US negotiations in Omani capital Muscat has ended for today and will continue next week. The Iran Foreign Ministry announced that talks were held in a positive, constructive atmosphere and based on mutual respect. The U.S. delegation did not repeat its earlier demands about Iran’s missile program and ending its support for regional groups, and the discussions were limited only to the ‘nuclear file’.
