IRAN - TRUMP'S BRINKMANSHIP STRATEGY


Trump said that he wants to make USA great again. To prove his point the policy is to make other countries - China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Mexico, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq etc bow down to US pressures imposing various strategies -  sanctions, embargo, tariffs, import-export, market and monetary manipulations, trade war, sabre rattling, bombs and weaponry, war. Subject the enemy countries to extreme measures to the brink and test if they can react to withstand the long onslaught. Eventually, most of the countries will succumb to US will and accept the Great Satan's terms.

Iran was and is a great country. Its civilisation has been tested through the centuries. In case of war against US and western allies Iran will be another case Iraq or Afghanistan. Iran will become the battlefield of proxy wars.

Surrounding former kingdoms/civilisations of Persia had been absorbed into Iran.
