The cowardice and electoral selfishness of the "useful idiots": In fact, what matters to the Islamo-leftists is always opposing America, their Great capitalist Satan

Donald Trump is subject to so much hated that the élites, particularly in the “enlightened” press, want him to fail in forcing Iran's terrorist régime to capitulate

writes P.-E. Ford in his article Those Useful Idiots Who Are Mistaken About Who the Enemy Is (translated from French).

A large portion of the Democrats and their loyal copycats disguised as journalists, as well as the European left, from Britain's Labour Party to Spain's Socialists, have nothing but criticism to offer regarding the way American and Israeli forces are doing the dirty work that should have been done decades ago.

“We will not be complicit in something that is harmful to the world and contrary to our values and interests, simply out of fear of retaliation,” protests Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish Socialist Prime Minister. He denounces Donald Trump's threats of trade sanctions—which appear to be futile—in response to the Spanish government's refusal to allow the United States to use American bases in Andalusia to bomb Iran.

Sanchez and what remains of the group of bloodthirsty middle-aged retards who have oppressed Iran for 47 years agree: "Netanyahu and Trump’s war on Iran is wholly unprovoked, illegal, and illegitimate," explains the Iranian Foreign Minister. The Spanish leader believes he is demonstrating courage and leadership by daring to say "no" to Donald Trump. The "Europeanists," opposed to the Atlantic Alliance, can be proud. They have a new standard-bearer.

Respect for International Law Is a One-Way Street

The problem is that there is nothing courageous about giving free rein to Putin and the ayatollahs. The respect for international law by countries like Spain allows the ayatollahs to violate that very international law, to violate fundamental human rights principles, and to practice and finance terrorism for 47 years.

The true name for this stance is cowardice and electoral selfishness. It is widely defended by left-wing parties. Once again, we see the objective convergence between the short-sighted electoral interests of the left and those of Islamism. Pedro Sánchez's refusal to increase Spanish military spending was similarly well-received in Moscow. Beijing also applauded Madrid's overtures on trade issues.

Putting Khamenei on Trial Instead? Sure, But: Who Would Have Arrested Him, and How?

French environmentalists, who represent only one shade of leftism on the progressive spectrum, are just as hypocritical. Marine Tondelier repeats the absurd slogan: "This is not our war." She goes so far as to say, in bad faith, “I would have preferred Ali Khamenei to be tried rather than killed.” And exactly how would he have been tried? Who would have arrested him?

The Islamo-leftist lie is blatant. When American forces kidnap Nicolás Maduro, not to kill him, but to try him, that is equally unacceptable. In fact, what matters to them is always opposing America, their great capitalist Satan.

The reality is that pacifism and the supposed priority of “international law” are a way to disguise the moral weakness of the left and its tolerance of aggressive and terrorist Islam.
