Trump shows realism toward Iran
Posted by seumasach on July 19, 2017
Trump, like his predecessor, Obama, seems destined to preside over the demise of all neoconservative plans. At the same time, like Obama, he appears unable to break free of the “swamp”, the deep state quagmire, and actually define US interests in positive terms through an embrace of the emerging multipolar reality. Thus, the neocons have made sure that if they can’t lead no one can. If it continues, this paralysis means that there is no soft landing for bankrupt America, no reset of the global financial system: the next phase of the financial crisis is imminent and the US economy and the dollar will be right in the eye of the storm.

Thus, the decision by the Trump administration on Monday to certify for the second time Iran’s compliance with the July 2015 nuclear deal signifies strategic maturity.
