La condamnation de l’Iran pour l’attaque contre Aramco, solennellement proclam\u00e9e par ce qu’on nomme les E3, – Allemagne, France & UK, – est une infamie compl\u00e8te, sans compter la stupidit\u00e9 et l’inculture de l’acte. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9cid\u00e9e lors d’une r\u00e9union en marge de la session de l’ONU, \u00e0 l’instigation, nous dit Finian Cunningham que nous croyons sans peine, du Premier britannique Boris Johnson. Cette condamnation ne repose sur aucune preuve, m\u00eame si la pr\u00e9somption n’est pas d\u00e9nu\u00e9e de fondement, – mais il s’agit dans ce cas d’une pr\u00e9somption de culpabilit\u00e9 alors qu’une d\u00e9claration solennelle qui se place d’elle-m\u00eame, geste typique de supr\u00e9macisme anglo-saxon, dans le droit fil rouge du droit international traduit en anglo-am\u00e9ricaniste, devrait d’abord s’en tenir \u00e0 la pr\u00e9somption d’innocence. Dans ce cas, dit encore Cunningham que nous suivons encore, les E3 signataires du JCPOA ont liquid\u00e9 le JCPOA pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la volont\u00e9 capricieuse d’un homme \u00e0 l’esprit compl\u00e8tement pr\u00e9occup\u00e9 d’un narcissisme projet\u00e9 sur les ruines de l’empire am\u00e9ricaniste en cours d’effondrement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Que les Anglais pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s des restes assez rances du grand empire du Royaume-Uni, donc \u00e9galement en cours d’effondrement, que ces Anglais-l\u00e0 aient mont\u00e9 ce coup, aucune surprise \u00e0 avoir ; la derni\u00e8re chose qu’ils montreront avec l’Union Jack <\/em>lorsque le navire ach\u00e8vera de sombrer, c’est leur perfidie accord\u00e9e \u00e0 leur servilit\u00e9 pour leurs \u00ab\u00a0cousins\u00a0\u00bb d’Outre-Atlantique. Que les Allemands aient suivi, pas de surprise non plus : cette puissance \u00e9mascul\u00e9e diplomatiquement et politiquement, espionn\u00e9e et priv\u00e9e de toute souverainet\u00e9 par son protecteur-prox\u00e9n\u00e8te, mais assise sur de bonnes affaires qui tout de m\u00eame commencent \u00e0 prendre eau, a toujours su manier la servilit\u00e9 par contraste avec ses p\u00e9riodes de folies meurtri\u00e8res. Que la France ait suivi…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Ces trois points marquent bien l’embarras où l’on se trouve de porter un jugement arr\u00eat\u00e9 sur cette nation, au point où elle en est, avec un tel pr\u00e9sident \u00e0 sa t\u00eate, alors qu’elle pleure un autre pr\u00e9sident qui fut plein de qualit\u00e9s si humaines et revigorantes, voire d’\u00e9clairs de grandeur politique, mais dont l’œuvre principale fut et reste la trahison<\/a>de ce dont il ne cessa de se r\u00e9clamer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n M\u00eame si l’on croit \u00e0 la \u00ab\u00a0culpabilit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb de l’Iran, la grandeur et l’honneur d’une diplomatie est d’aller \u00e0 la cause premi\u00e8re de la s\u00e9quence, qui est la haine, la vulgarit\u00e9, l’ill\u00e9galit\u00e9, la piraterie des actes am\u00e9ricanistes contre l’Iran depuis des d\u00e9cennies (y compris 1953 et la chute de Mossadegh dont Obama pr\u00e9sident<\/a> a officiellement reconnu qu’elle r\u00e9sultait d’une machination des USA), – et ces actes am\u00e9ricanistes, d’une fa\u00e7on \u00e9hont\u00e9e et stup\u00e9fiante de gangst\u00e9risme depuis l’arriv\u00e9e de Trump et la sortir du JCPOA. Devant ces \u00e9vidences, une diplomatie d’honneur et de grandeur et l’honneur devrait tirer les cons\u00e9quences de ce qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8de en mati\u00e8re de responsabilit\u00e9, d’autant plus ais\u00e9ment que la puissance am\u00e9ricaniste est aujourd’hui r\u00e9duite \u00e0 la stupidit\u00e9 de la brute en d\u00e9clin acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Macron a fait un discours remarquable pour le sens de la chose<\/a>le 27 août, il est incapable d’en tirer toutes les cons\u00e9quences dans soin action. Ainsi fixe-t-il sa v\u00e9ritable envergure d’homme d’État, et dans ce cas son incapacit\u00e9 de r\u00e9sister \u00e0 un pouvoir dont on sait pourtant (pour ceux qui lisent la presse libre, pas pour les r\u00e9seaux officiels, compris les services de renseignement de l’\u00e8re des Pieds Nickel\u00e9s) qu’il est totalement \u00e0 d\u00e9rive comme une nef des fous dans une temp\u00eate r\u00e9pondant \u00e0 une crise climatique dont nul ne sait ni le sens, ni les cons\u00e9quences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n La position europ\u00e9enne ne fera que renforcer l’Iran dans sa volont\u00e9 de r\u00e9sister, et peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame de frapper pr\u00e9ventivement ; comme le Japon \u00e0 Pearl Harbor, note Jacob Hornberger<\/a>, sauf que Trump n’est pas FDR et que \u00ab\u00a0D.C.-la-folle\u00a0\u00bb-2019 est un d\u00e9chet caricatural, une inversion dans le m\u00eame registre de Washington-1941. La trahison de l’Europe par elle-m\u00eame, exercice coutumier… Le texte de Finian Cunningham (« UK’s Johnson Plays Court Jester for Trump to Wreck Iran Deal<\/em> ») est sur Strategic-Culture.org<\/em>, le 28 septembre 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n _________________________<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson showed his true colors this week when he led the collapse of European support for the nuclear deal with Iran. What’s more, it was pathetically evident that Johnson was pandering to US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Since the clownish figure of \u00ab\u00a0Boris\u00a0\u00bb took over Downing Street in July, it was predictable<\/a> that the hapless Johnson and his wobbly Brexit ambitions would make him ever-more reliant on the American president in order to negotiate a post-Brexit trade deal with the US. That, in turn, would mean Johnson being more sycophantic than British leaders usually are in indulging the White House and its foreign policy goals.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This week, predictions of Johnson’s kowtowing to Trump were fully delivered on, when he stabbed the nuclear accord with Iran in the back. On the way to the UN general assembly in New York, he declared<\/a> it a \u00ab\u00a0bad deal\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It was an extraordinary U-turn by Britain which up to now had endorsed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the formal name for the nuclear deal, along with Germany, France and the European Union, as well as Russia and China. The accord was signed in 2015 by all of the above plus the US with the aim of lifting economic sanctions off Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When Johnson was previously British foreign secretary (2016-18) he fully supported the JCPOA in line with the European bloc, Russia and China. Up until this week, it was the US which had alone defied international consensus after Trump unilaterally reneged in May last year on America’s signature to the UN-endorsed nuclear treaty.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Now Britain’s Johnson has thrown his weight behind Trump’s repudiation of the accord. For the British premier to disparage the landmark nuclear agreement as a \u00ab\u00a0bad deal\u00a0\u00bb was an astounding turnaround in London’s policy. The British have gravely undermined the international consensus by pandering to Trump’s rhetoric about the JCPOA being \u00ab\u00a0the worst deal ever\u00a0\u00bb requiring renegotiation with tougher and wider restrictions imposed on Tehran.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The creepiness of Johnson is something to behold. Asked about the JCPOA on route to the UN, he said: \u00ab\u00a0The reality is, as President Trump rightly said, it was a bad deal. It had many defects. Iran was and is behaving disruptively in the region. If it was a bad deal – and I’m willing to accept that, it had many, many defects – then let’s do a better deal. And I think there’s one guy who can do a better deal and one guy who understands how to get a difficult partner like Iran over the line and that is the president of the United States.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n As if he couldn’t ingratiate himself any further, Johnson then went on to describe Trump as a \u00ab\u00a0very, very brilliant negotiator.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n And, of course, Trump, the fragile egomaniac that he is, was suitably delighted by those saccharin words. He lavished praise<\/a> on his \u00ab\u00a0good friend\u00a0\u00bb Johnson, calling him \u00ab\u00a0smart\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0a winner\u00a0\u00bb. (Despite a supreme court in Britain this week sanctioning Johnson as lawless and a fraud for suspending parliament.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n For Washington, the sterling service Johnson is providing is to unravel the JCPOA in accord with how the American president dictates it should be. It is a wonder how the US and now Britain are allowed to unilaterally abandon international obligations based on spurious assertions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The day after Johnson’s jumping tricks for Trump, the European Union was next in line for acting the fools for the Americans.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Britain, France and Germany – the so-called E3 – issued a joint statement<\/a> in which they condemned Iran for carrying out air strikes against Saudi Arabia’s oil industry. Johnson had come to that dubious conclusion<\/a> the day before without providing evidence. It was clear from his bluster that he had no evidence whatsoever but was merely parroting the Washington \u00ab\u00a0highly probable\u00a0\u00bb trope. Now though, the E3 were also endorsing the same accusations against Iran, again without any substantiating details to support their provocative claims of Iranian aggression.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Furthermore in their joint statement, it was also evident that France and Germany were shifting significantly towards the US and British position of repudiating the nuclear accord.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The statement read in part: \u00ab\u00a0We reiterate our conviction that time has come for Iran to accept negotiation on a long-term framework for its nuclear program as well as on issues related to regional security, including its missiles program and other means of delivery.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In addition, rubbing salt into wounds of insult, the European countries urged Iran to get back to diplomacy and to \u00ab\u00a0refrain from choosing provocation and escalation.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n By going along with the US, British and Saudi demonization of Iran over the oil industry attacks on September 14, rather than investigating claims by Houthi rebels that they were responsible and not Iran, the French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angel Merkel are paving the way to collapse the JCPOA entirely.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Note how their call for a \u00ab\u00a0longer-term framework for [Iran’s] nuclear program\u00a0\u00bb and monitoring of \u00ab\u00a0[Iran’s] missiles program\u00a0\u00bb is tantamount to aligning with Trump’s demand for the JCPOA to be scrapped and renegotiated. No doubt, if it comes to that, the terms enforced on Iran will be even more onerous and intrusive than they already are under the existing nuclear accord. The bad faith and duplicity here shown by Western powers is staggering.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Following the joint statement by Britain, France and Germany, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani slammed<\/a> the \u00ab\u00a0baseless\u00a0\u00bb allegations against his country as \u00ab\u00a0destructive\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Iran said the Yemeni Houthis had every right to self-defense after four years of relentless Western-backed Saudi aggression against that country. Instead of lecturing Iran, Britain’s premier Boris Johnson should stop selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, said Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.<\/p>\n<\/p>\ndde.org<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
