America Now Practices Diplomacy Via Murder and Assassination

The United States, once a respected diplomatic power, has become a “gang of assassins and executioners” who practice the treacherous murder of foreign leaders and negotiators under the guise of diplomacy. All of this costs the American people immensely in many regards.

Is American Diplomatic Prowess a Thing of the Past?

Such murderous attacks constitute comic-book supervillain-level violence, something from a warped, degenerate polity, such as Likud Israel, not something befitting a nation such as the United States. As an aside, it should be painfully obvious by now that Likud is not a legitimate political party; it is the sort of organization that will likely be branded a criminal organization in the future by a war crimes tribunal (along with Mossad and Chabad Lubavitch).

It is not strictly perfidy under international law to launch such decapitation strikes in the middle of ongoing peace negotiations; it is not a classic case of “feigning a parlay on a battlefield and opening fire under a flag of truce” or “feigning surrender and shooting at enemies as they expose themselves to accept the surrender,” but the very notion of offering what appears to be reasonable good-faith terms for an escalating international crisis, only to massacre the foreign adversary’s senior leadership when they gather in the same place to discuss the terms, is certainly treacherous, double-minded, duplicitous, underhanded, and dishonorable; it is simply bad faith. I would not extend my hand to shake if I was planning to wait for my rival to extend his hand to shake, only so I could arm-drag him into a rear-naked choke and choke him unconscious. Likewise, who would shake hands with their right hand while using a dagger concealed behind their back in the left hand to stab their foreign counterpart? Who does such things?

Is this to become part of our national culture and international reputation? We extend an olive branch on Monday and then wait for the rivals to begin gathering on Tuesday; we wait for them all to be in place for the discussion on Wednesday, and then we kill them before they even give us a reply?

America Used to Regard Sneak Attacks as Outrageous Treachery

Every single American alive today should know and recognize the words, “Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”

Less memorable except for older Americans who lived through listening to the speech as it was given, or students of history who studied the entire speech, but of equal importance are the following words:

“The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its emperor, looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.”
