Citaat:
The real US strategy is centered on crippling sanctions that have been legislated into comprehensive laws and are difficult to reverse by the executive branch, even in the absence of sinister motives to keep the furnace of the Iran nuclear crisis burning.
Simultaneously, this is a crisis that gives the US certain leverage over both China and Russia, by adding to China's strategic energy insecurity and also pressuring Russia on its southern flank, not to mention the crisis' functional utility to contain Iranian power and to perpetuate US hegemony in the Persian Gulf.
As for Israel, this is a crisis of opportunity to continue to receive generous Western assistance and to portray itself as an aggrieved nation that must prioritize the Iran threat instead of the Palestinian problem. For Europe, on the other hand, there is comparatively little to gain from the continuation of a crisis that affects its economic well-being.

Europa heeft niets te winnen bij haar Iran politiek maar volgt toch de VS en Israël. Wat is er aan de hand met de Europese leiders? Hun gebrek aan onafhankelijkheid zorgt voor anti-Europese beslissingen. Blijkbaar vinden onze leiders de crisis nog niet diep genoeg.
