Tehran o reveal is suspeced pas work on weapons, and allowIranian research and developmen ha would pu i on a courseo resuming inensive producion o nuclear uel as soon as heaccord expires.”

Those are major concerns. Ye Washingon is so deerminedo make his deal ha i is lowering he bar again and again oensure Iran can clear i. Now he bar is a broomsick on he car-pe.

The main jusificaion Presiden Obama has used or he dealis ha i will lenghen Iran’s breakou ime o he bomb rom womonhs o 12 monhs. Tha hardly insills a lo o confidence. Buin anoher New York Times aricle his week, Pro. Alan Kuper-man, head o he Nuclear Prolieraion Prevenion Projec a heUniversiy o Texas, shows ha his jusificaion is a lie: The dealwill acually only prolong ha breakou ime abou one addi-ional monh.

America is making his deal o slow Iran down or one moremonth.

The U.S. has already agreed ha Iran will be able o keepenriching uranium—a massive concession o he Iranians. Buor some ime Washingon has been publicly insising on wo key

demands: 1) ha Iran reveal previous nuclear work ha i hasn’ye admited o; and 2) ha i open is program o unresricedinspecions o is nuclear insallaions. Iran has responded byconsisenly, seadasly reusing o concede o boh o hesedemands. And now, as hese officials are saying, i looks like heU.S. is giving up even these.

The evidence is mounainous ha his is a errible deal—even by he Obama adminisraion’s own publicly saed sandards.

Bu meanwhile, a he same ime he deal isel is getingwaered down o he poin o being pracically useless, we arealso winessing more and more behavior by Iran ha shows heenire process is a arce.

Las Sunday, Iran’s parliamen voed almos unanimously—199

voes ou o 213—“o ban access o miliary sies, documens andscieniss as par o a uure deal wih world powers over is con-esed nuclear program,” he Associaed Press repored. They arewilling o discuss heir nuclear program, bu any access o mili-tary aciliies or aciviies is sricly orbidden.

Bu, o course, i is military use o nuclear power ha is hecenral concern. The Wes could only accep such a reques i iwere willing o accep Iran’s absurd asserion ha is nuclear pro-gram is enirely peaceul. Ye i appears his is exacly wha i isdoing.

The bill “also he complete lifing o all sanctions agains Iran as par o any final nuclear accord,” AP wroe (empha-sis added).

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayaollah Ali Khamenei made hesame demand in a live elevision broadcas on Tuesday his week:

“All financial and economic sancions imposed by he UN Secu-riy Council, he U.S. Congress or he U.S. governmen shouldbe lifed immediaely when we sign a nuclear agreemen.” Healso ruled ou a long-erm hal o nuclear work, saying, “Freez-ing Iran’s research and developmen or a long ime like 10 or 12years is no accepable,” Reuers repored.

Who is in he power posiion in hese negoiaions? Suppos-edly i’s America and oher Wesern saes ha are rying oresric Iran—but Iran is the one dictating all the terms.

The real kicker in ha AP sory is his: While Iran’s parliamenwas aking ha voe las Sunday, some o he lawmakers werechaning, “Deah o America.”

I makes me wonder: Wha would Iran have o do in order orhe U.S. o say, You know, maybe these negotiations aren’t such a

good idea?

Forge he erms o he deal—Iran is proving in counless waysha he negoiaions hemselves are absurd. The idea ha hey

will do anything o change Iran’s conduc or eher is nuclearambiions is a joke.The New York Times repor on he skitish ormer Obama

advisers made he addiional poin ha he ayaollah on Tuesday “heighened he pressure acing negoiaors by appearing o rom reachedbeween Iran and he Wes in early April, including in areaswhere Mr. Obama’s ormer advisers urged a hardening o heAmerican posiion” (emphasis added). So even hose ew areaswhere i appeared he U.S. had achieved somehing resemblingmodes concessions rom Iranian negoiaors were undone wiha wave o he ayaollah’s hand.

The lis is long, and growing coninually longer, o all ha

Iran has done o demonsrae is bad aih, is double-dealingand decei during hese negoiaions. I is no backing down aall. I coninues o reuse o make concessions; insead i makesdemands. I accuses he U.S. o lying, while alking ou o bohsides o is mouh. I makes provocaions ha undermine Wesern ineress—ake or example he revelaion rom las weekha even as negoiaions are supposed o be winding down, Iranis ramping up is suppor or he Taliban in Aghanisan, which isfighing he U.S.! I coninues o demonsrae is deerminaiono do as i pleases regardless o wha comes o he alks.

Iran is siting a he negoiaing able—while making demandsand openly and brazenly carrying on wih is nuclear programand sponsorship o errorism. I has done virually nothing o

curb he behavior ha is so concerning o oher naions, and hanecessiaed he economic sancions and oher seps o prevenIran rom geting nuclear weapons.

And ye he alks coninue. And now a deal looms.Are hese he mos insane negoiaions in hisory?Has here ever been a ime in inernaional negoiaions when

he naions supposedly in conrol and working o bring a roguenaion o heel were so willing o overlook such open conempsuch hosiliy?

The mind racks back o he peace alks wih Adol Hilerbeore World War , and recalls jus how naive, how blind, Wesern naions were o consider his yran a reliable negoiaingparner. Bu even here, he ührer was a leas making a pretenseo seeking peace. He was no all demands and dicaes, a leas nopublicly. You didn’ have German lawmakers chaning “Deah oFrance! Deah o Briain!” Did you? Maybe I’m wrong, bu whilenegoiaions were aking place, weren’ he Nazis a bi more geneel and suble? Didn’ hey a leas try o play along and o givehe Chamberlains and peaceniks o he day some semblance ohope ha i wasn’ all a complee ruse and a raud?

Iran eels no such obligaion. Washingon has given i no reason o.

And his ime, i is nuclear weapons a sake. Follow Joel Hilliker

MIDDLE EAST

A War Beween Two WorldsGeorge Friedman, Stratfor | January 13

Edior’s Noe: Two Islamis erroriss sruck a gas facory in

souheasern France on Friday. One person has been killed,

and several have been wounded. The atackers rammedhe fron gae of he faciliy wih a vehicle; he vehicle hen

collided wih conainers of gas, which exploded. According o

securiy officials, a decapiaed head has been found saked

on a pos a he enrance o he facory. Two banners wih

Arabic wriings were also found a he scene. France’s inerior

miniser said ha one suspec has been arresed, and ha

he suspec was flagged in 2006 for ies o Islamic exremiss.

This atack follows anoher atack in January, when Islamis

exremiss murdered 12 people a he offices of he sairical

magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The following is an ar icle published by Srafor’s George

Friedman afer he Charlie Hebdo atacks. Is analysis has

been proven even more correc afer his week’s ragedy.

T I Jews shopping or heir Sabbah meals by Islamiss in Paris

las week have galvanized he world. … I have ound ha in hink-ing abou hings geopoliically, I can cool my own rage and find, ino meaning, a leas explanaion or evens such as hese. …

Chrisians and Muslims have been biter enemies, batling orconrol o Iberia. Ye, les we orge, hey also have been allies: Inhe 16h cenury, Otoman Turkey and Venice allied o conrol heMedierranean. No single phrase can summarize he relaion-ship beween he wo save perhaps his: I is rare ha wo reli-gions migh be so obsessed wih each oher and a he same imeso ambivalen. This is an explosive mixure.

The curren crisis has is origins in he collapse o Europeanhegemony over Norh Arica afer World War and he Euro-peans’ need or cheap labor. As a resul o he way in which heyended heir imperial relaions, hey were bound o allow hemigraion o Muslims ino Europe, and he permeable borders ohe European Union enabled hem o setle where hey chose. …

There is a buil-in indeerminacy in our use o language haallows us o shif responsibiliy or acions in Paris away rom areligion o a minor srand in a religion, or o he acions o onlyhose who pulled he riger. This is he universal problem o sec-ularism, which eschews sereoyping. I leaves unclear who is o

be held responsible or wha. By devolving all responsibiliy onhe individual, secularism ends o absolve naions and religions

rom responsibiliy.This is no necessarily wrong, bu i creaes a remendous

pracical problem. I no one bu he gunmen and heir immediae supporers are responsible or he acion, and all ohers whoshare heir aih are guilless, you have made a deensible moral judgmen. Bu as a pracical mater, you have paralyzed your abiliy o deend yourselves. I is impossible o deend agains random violence and impermissible o impose collecive responsibiliy. As Europe has been or so long, is moral complexiy hasposed or i a problem i canno easily solve. No all Muslims—noeven mos Muslims—are responsible or his. Bu all who commited hese acs were Muslims claiming o speak or MuslimsOne migh say his is a Muslim problem and hen hold he Mus

lims responsible or solving i. Bu wha happens i hey don’?And so he moral debae spins endlessly.

This dilemma is compounded by Europe’s hidden secre: TheEuropeans do no see Muslims rom Norh Arica or Turkey asEuropeans, nor do hey inend o allow hem o be Europeans. …

Bu while he Europeans have paricular issues wih Islamand have had hem or more han 1,000 years, here is a more generalizable problem. Chrisianiy has been sapped o is evangelical zeal and no longer uses he sword o kill and conver is enemies. A leas pars o Islam reain ha zeal. And saying ha noall Muslims share his vision does no solve he problem. EnoughMuslims share ha ervency o endanger he lives o hose heydespise, and his endency oward violence canno be oleraedby eiher heir Wesern arges or by Muslims who reuse o subscribe o a jihadis ideology. And here is no way o disinguishhose who migh kill rom hose who won’. The Muslim communiy migh be able o make his disincion, bu a 25-yearold European or American policeman canno. And he Muslimseiher can’ or won’ police hemselves. Thereore, we are lef in asae o war. French Prime Miniser Manuel Valls has called his awar on radical Islam. I only hey wore uniorms or bore disincive birhmarks, hen fighing only he radical Islamiss wouldno be a problem. Bu Valls’s disincions nowihsanding, heworld can eiher accep periodic atacks, or see he enire Muslim

War Drums: Gazprom’s Dangerous New Nord Sream Gas Pipeline o Germany Robert Morley | June 25

R G June 18 o double he capaciy o he Nord Sream gas pipe-

line ha delivers Russian gas direcly o Germany. The deal is aprecursor o war.

Analyss are wondering: Why would Germany coninue owork wih Russia’s Gazprom when i is supposedly argeing Rus-sia or is invasion and occupaion o Ukraine?

This pipeline deal has geopoliics all over i. And i he dealgoes hrough, i could radically aler he balance o power inEurope.

I he Nord Sream pipeline goes hrough, Russia could urnoff he gas o counries like Ukraine and Poland while sill send-ing gas o he more powerul Wesern naions. Europe is increas-ingly dependen on gas supplies rom Russia. Briish and Norwe-gian Norh Sea oil and gas fields are aging rapidly.

I his nex phase o he Nord Sream pipeline goes hrough,i will give Russia he abiliy o urn off he gas o counries likeUkraine and Poland while sill sending he more powerul Wes-ern naions all he gas hey need.

Think o he huge leverage his will give Russia. Nord Sream ispar o Russian Presiden Vladimir Puin’s sraegy o regain con-rol o Easern Europe and rebuild he Sovie Empire. Comply or

reeze.Easern European naions see his weakness and are sure o

oppose he new pipeline. Easern Europe opposed he consrucion o he firs Nord Sream pipeline, bu Germany and Russiapushed i hrough anyway—even hough is consrucion dramaically increased he odds o Russian agression.

The Nord Sream pipeline radically increases German poweroo! Germany may no have much in he way o naural resourceso is own, bu wih Russia’s help, i is becoming an energy hub oEurope! Like Russia, Germany will soon be able o push a butonand shu down gas supplies o downsream naions.

German energy firms dominae much o Europe’s energy supply neworks and uiliies. Germany oo will soon be able o sendulimaums: Comply or reeze.

Don’ le he curren conflic in Ukraine cloud wha is happening. Germany and Russia have a hisory o secre cooperaion—even when headline conflic appears o indicae oherwise.

Pope Asks: ‘Why Didn’ Allied Powers Bomb Railroads o Auschwiz?’

D I, S, P F group o young people his quesion: “The grea powers [in

World War ] had phoographs o he railway roues ha herains ook o he concenraion camps, like Auschwiz, o killhe Jews …. Tell me, why didn’ hey bomb hose railroad roues?”

This implies ha he Allies knowingly, perhaps uneelinglyallowed Nazi slaugherhouses o operae a ull seam when heycould have easily sopped i.

On he surace, his migh sound like he harmless musings oan ill-inormed armchair general. Bu, no only is i oblivious okey acs o hisory, i also represens a dark hypocrisy.

Hisorians agree on some key reasons why he Allied powersdidn’ bomb he railroad roues leading o Auschwiz. Firs, Alliedpowers didn’ recognize he exen o arociies happening in he

camps. They knew o he camps, bu he prevailing view—unil helater chapers o he war—was ha he purpose o hem was orslave labor and hosages. Second, during World War , bombingo desroy individual rail lines was no a pracical goal. Third, German orces were generally able o repair bombed rails in days oreven hours. And ourh, when Allied command did learn he ruenaure o he deah camps, i undersood ha he innovaive Naziscould easily change heir locaions and mehods o exerminaion.

The Allies recognized ha he only sure way o end he madness was o oally deea he Nazi war machine. They were perec neiher in miliary sraegy nor in moraliy, bu he Alliesough agains he evil ha was ueling he Holocaus. They sacrificed millions o soldiers’ lives o bring an end o ha evil.

Germany: Comfortable Again as Europe’s Great Power

Stephen Green, Telegraph | June 23

[G] huge change—European enlargemen. So Germany finds

isel a he geographic and economic cener—and hereoreincreasingly he poliical cener oo—o he new Europe. No lon-ger do all roads lead o Paris, bu o Berlin. The new—and sill

disincly relucan—German leadership has been in evidencehroughou he ravails o he eurozone. Germans may resen herole o paymaser: bu he commimen o European inegraionis exisenial or he poswar Germany. Tha same leadership hasalso been defly exercised by Chancellor Merkel in dealing wihhe Russian leadership over Ukraine.

Does his mean Germany is becoming “normal”? The besanswer is: no enirely—ye. Germany’s coninuing neuralgiaabou miliary power … shows up generally in is low-key role in, in is low spending on deense, and in he humdrum sauso he Bundeswehr by conras o is Briish or French opposienumbers ….

And ye his is a counry ha is becoming more comorable

in is own skin. The sheer passage o ime is one reason: No oneunder he age o abou 80 has any meaningul memory o heNazi nighmare. Fooball has been a grea renewer oo: The 2006World Cup sealed Berlin’s repuaion as one o he world’s liveli-es, mos cosmopolian ciies. And vicory las year in Brazil wasalmos embarrassingly good: Germany is once again Welmeis-er—world champion. Briish ans no longer rouinely whisle

The Dambusters heme a hem: even we are moving on.And so he Queen’s visi his week is, as much as anyhing, a

reminder o he Briish: Germany is a undamenally changedcounry, and we need o rediscover i. No only is his remarkablecounry a reasure rove o naural beauy and culural splendors;

bu as he relucan leader o Europe, i is a sraegically vialparner or us.In so many major areas o policy, wha he Germans hink and

do maters o us criically: in oreign policy (wheher i is in dealing wih Russia or wih he challenges and hreas arising rominsabiliy in Europe’s souhern neighborhood); or in economicand in indusrial policy (we have so much o learn, or examplerom he counry wih perhaps he fines appreniceship sysemin he world). As or our own ambiion o achieve reorm o heEU and pu o res he quesion o Briish membership—in hisoo, he role o Germany will o course be crucial.

So i is imperaive ha we ge o know Germany beter. No onlyare our hisory and our culures deeply inerwoven, bu we have

vial shared ineress, and he uure o Europe maters o us all.
