So let me get this straight, after launching another war in the middle east with absolutely no plan, to counter a threat that doesn't exist, the US is now strengthening the only country who actually does pose a threat, undermining European security.
Absolutely shambolic, these people are not our allies.
@jmaris
1. I've heard a hypothesis that the moment RUS forces were repelled from the outskirts of Kyiv, US realized that Russia is much less of a threat (to the parts of Europe US cares about) than US thought. So the US can focus on its biggest threat: China.
2. Venezuela and Iran fit a pattern: US is targeting China's allies, particularly those that could provide China with oil during wartime.
3. The internal unrest in Iran appeared like a once-in-a-century opportunity.
@jmaris is (1) bad for Europe? Hell yes.
Is the US war in Iran bad for Europe? In the short term, yes.
However, when (if :/ )the missiles stop flying across the gulf, oil prices will recover much quicker than Iran's infrastructure.
Now, will the devastation of Iran weaken China enough for US to not worry about it so much and be able to support Europe more?
Idk, probably not.
But "Europe needs to get its shit together" is something we've already known.
