Trump says he wants a new, better deal.
Yeah, this isn't about nukes... the Israelis realise the power of having a satellite or two providing information in the region and they are scared to death that Iran might get a few satellites of its own up there and working... not to mention improving ballistic missile technology is making them scared... if Iran can get BMs that can reach Israel that manouver like Iskander missiles and are as accurate as Iskander missiles then Israel is in deep shit.
Plus of course all of Americas fucking around in the region has broken Afghanistan again and Iraq and Syria and in these places Iran is becoming relevant... if only to try to stabilise its own neighbourhood... but America doesn't like other countries asserting their authority or stability in places they destroy... ask Russia about the Ukraine... America broken it but it is all Russias fault for trying to propose peace and stability.
China should just send some "volunteers" (like she did to NK), via Pakistan to, & warships off Iran & the problem will be solved. Russia could take care of Iran's IAD, like in Syria. Only then the wolves will be kept out.
Well previously China made a lot of money in the US and the west in general, so it was not inclined to shit where it ate... but now with all these US sanctions against China I think there will come a time when they might do something like this and it will be good for China and for the US... good for China to stand up, and good for the US to pull its head in and stop acting like a villain.
Iraqi Leaders: We Won't Be Dragged Into US-Iran Proxy War
Yeah... the word dragged suggests you wont get a choice... if you have US forces stationed in Iraq then how can you not be involved if the US starts openly attacking Iran...
I think that US sanctions can be lifted . Once they know , they can not defeat Iran militarily . That Iran has nukes and that they benefit by doing trade with Iran .
They have two tools to crush countries... military and economic... sanctions are the economic... there is no Trump Tower in Iran... he doesn't care about US trade with Iran... if an American business man came up to him and said stop with the sanctions you are hurting my business he will more than likely tell you to find another country to trade with and that you are a traitor to America for trying to trade with Iran.
Those sanctions against Iran will end when the sanctions against Cuba and North Korea end.... they wont.
That they have to share the cake with others . Based on rules . Iran is a large country , with big market .
The whole world is a cake and Iran is a tiny tiny piece... they don't need it.
But I hope this time , the Iranian leadership does not make mistake of dependence of critical infrastructure on yank goods or tech . Look what happened to Huwavei ! Any trade with yank should be in non critical goods . Agricultural or medical with secondary sources available .
Yeah, history has shown Iranian leadership make stupid decisions... like buying Boeing and Airbus... thinking that those companies will step up to bat to help Iran when it comes time to impose sanctions... but they never do... They create ties in the hope it will prevent the US either pulling them or cutting them because they might see them as valuable... but they don't and they do cut them.
When Iranian money is unfrozen you can bet your ass there are very specific rules and limits as to what they can spend that money on if they want to get their hands on it...
The doors should be kept open for those seeking peace . And closed for those seeking war . The yanks had in the end open up to China . Even if they contemplated nuking them , when they developed about ten nuke warheads . This does not mean , we should not punish and wage war on those warmongers . The hawks . Find where their chicken ranch is . And take it out , when they least expect it . A kind of two track policy . Our own carrot and stick .
You need to target specific people, and it will look exactly like terrorism, because you will be murdering people and innocent people could get in the way... but it is certainly nothing they haven't already done to you and others. If you get caught you are a terrorist... but they will be patriots if they are caught... and no one is trying to catch them... there were no repercussions regarding Libya or Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan etc etc Yemen, Somalia etc etc.
How? That would be an act of war. Besides, there r many Russians with $, properties & families abroad that could be retaliated against.
Hahahahahaha... first of all Nomadski is Iranian I think, so most of US sanctions currently being applied to Iran, China, and Russia could be easily considered acts of war anyway. And second, Butina, that pilot kidnapped from africa, several Russian diplomatic compounds in the US seized... hasn't the US already started?
Plus we wont even look in to the number if Iranian scientists who have disappeared or simply been murdered by Israeli special forces over the years...
But no1 can guarantee that the result would be worth it.
Sadly that has never stopped you
before...
