Iran War Quotes

“The Iran War has sharply brought into focus the distinction between two approaches to geopolitics. Faced with a boldly hostile enemy, some would not even try to subdue it, afraid of failure. Others will take the plunge, ready for retreat in case of failure. Europe was the former, refusing to take on Hitler pre-WWII; Trump was the latter, taking on Iran, retreating when all the pre-war goals could not be achieved without ruining the Middle East allies. There seems to be widespread support for the former approach; of counting pennies while democracy is threatened by a theocracy.”
