US government's seizure of the dozens of US website domains that are Iranian-interest outlets is a potentially provocative move amid the talks in Vienna about the the 2015 nuclear agreement. More to the point, is it remotely legal to enforce Greater U.S. Empire in this way? This is a really stupid move by Biden & Garland. We need to reinvigorate diplomacy by installing Undersecretaries & Deputy Secretaries of State in the world capitols as the persons in charge of U.S. interests with the 4-star military officers as the deputies to those State Department Secretaries, thus making the Civilians be the ones leading (a.k.a. “in charge”) instead of letting the national military forces be the bosses in those locations. Today’s action by the DOJ in no way helps that scenario become reality. Destabilizing actions both inside This Empire and across the globe such as today’s seizing common-interest websites is really stupid. Good luck to us all as our current “Leaders” continue the now well-established national practice of doing crap like this to satisfy Israeli interests which serve to inflame regional animosities.
