Does the description of Europe’s business dealings with Iran remind you of another Middle Eastern country? Hello? Bueller?
Bueller: I’ll take Iraq for 50 dollars and some oil for food.
Considering that Russia has connections to both(and in the past with Putin has discouraged us from attacking Iran in any way, shape or form) this is all starting to fit into the narrative.
I really don’t think that AhMAD is as devious as Saddam is, so in an answer to another post I expect that he won’t run the controversial materials to his friends in a few days(even with the lid being blown off). However, we haven’t declared war on Iran yet. I do believe that the big problem is that we are not calling for an overthrow of the current regime but rather trying to take the moral relativist to grips that his insanity cannot handle nuclear weapons but we, the sane ones according to people outside AhMAD’s thinking sphere, can.
I only agree with Jimmy Carter in that it is very hard imagining that you are very right, in a moral relativistic world, to do anything(including building nukes) when your big enemies are doing the same time. That is how a dictator thinks and the only way to knock some sense is to allow a country to build nukes, if they want to and it seems necessary, under a peaceful and Democratic regime. An extremist thinks that they are always right so they feel cruelly insulted when they are told not to join the big man’s club.
