Skirting U.S. sanctions, Europeans launch trade mechanism for Iran
Good. I don't know how much longer Americans are going to buy the boogiemen we keep getting fed.<p>Sovereign nations under the the U.S.' thumb, not being able to control their own destiny only works so long as we're complacent.<p>I sense we're growing tired of war for war's sake, leery of ideological battles built for future blowback down the road. We see enough people profiting from these wars to wonder how much global conflict is manufactured.<p>I hope we stop buying in. When a politician tells us a country is evil, we need to start asking for receipts.<p>I don't see this having a ton of impact on U.S. relations other than a few terse, typo-laden tweets directed at Europe, but who knows these days. The notion that Western alliances are being intentionally weakened no longer seems far fetched.
