The following segment clip perfectly illustrates the willfully blind, misguided worldview of European elitists. 

During an exchange on Morning Joe this Monday, BBC World News anchor Katty Kay fretted that President Donald's Trump Middle East trip could alienate "potentially" "pro-American" Iran. 

Come again? 

"You know, you're alienating a nation which is potentially a fairly pro-western, pro-American nation that has just voted in, not a totally free election," Kay said before Joe Scarborough assailed her absurd assertion. 

"Iran? You're speaking like a European now," the host said. "There is nothing pro American about Iran!"

Newsbusters provides a partial transcript and video clip above: 

The discussion continued, with Kay feebly attempting to justify her argument:

KATTY KAY: But, Richard has a point. You know you're alienating a nation which is potentially a fairly pro western, pro-American nation that has just voted in not a totally free election --

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Iran?? You're speaking like a European right now. There's nothing pro American about Europe.  I mean, there is nothing pro-American about Iran!

KAY: You poll Iranian population and you get a more pro-European, pro-western, pro-American view than you do if you poll most Sunni countries--

SCARBOROUGH: I understand. Extraordinary people and extraordinary civilization and leaders from the seventh century.

KAY: Right...But does alienating them to this-- I think there has to be some kind of -- You know he’s gone from one extreme to the other, right? Barack Obama embraced -- well, embraced --

SAM STEIN: I wouldn’t call it embraced.

KAY: Made overtures to the world and --

SCARBOROUGH: You wouldn't call that an embracing of Iran? Because I guarantee you every Sunni leader across the region–when you pay them how much money did they get, $150 billion? Oh my God!

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: We have to go to to break.

SCARBOROUGH: I'll tell you, you defend the Iranian regime since 1979, I will not.

Ironically, there is a movement within Iran comprising pro-West leaning youth. Now if their pro-West bonafides are genuine, then they would in fact share President Trump's view of the Iranian regime whose jackboot they're currently trampled under and want to see the despots in their home country defeated too.
