The US and Russia are literally warning Iran not to force us to take out one-third (give or take) of their oil production capacity. When the chips are down, everybody knows they’re incompetent. Everyone understands they’re vulnerable. Destroying things is easy and unimpressive, building things is hard. What have the ayatollahs ever actually built that’s worth a damn? Stop rescuing them. Stop extending pretty much every war in the Middle East by refusing to exact a cost from the greatest perpetrators of this region’s countless calamities, of Syria and Yemen and the slow demolition of Lebanon. For once, in the name of the many hundreds of thousands killed for their imperialism, let them feel the consequences of their brutality.
