    …I’m not sure Europe would be better off if Iran was controlled by Russia, and I’m not sure if an independent Iran is a realistic option. At the end of the day, it seems like Europe needs the oil more than America does.

    I sort of agree though. I haven’t heard a compelling argument as to why we are interfering in Europe’s problems. They have the strength of character to take on countries like Iran and Russia.

      Europe didn’t fight Israel’s war against Iran for it. Europe was quite happy leaving Iran alone, having the odd awkward diplomatic discussion. Europe was happy buying oil and related good from the gulf states as needed.

      The US need to lose because they shat the bed.

        Even more, Europe and the US had a goddamn deal with Iran that now sounds like an unrealistically optimistic scenario.
