So the question becomes, did attacking Iran simply trigger a trap?
Welcome to Part 3, It's a Trap.
Every president for the last 40 years sanctioned Iran.
threatened Iran, and then ultimately left them alone.
There was a reason for that.
And Trump just found out what it was.
The US has enemies in this conflict, that's obvious.
But according to Jiang, what's not obvious, and what makes this unlike any war the US has fought in recent memory, is that some of America's most important
allies actually want America to enter this war specifically because they believe America will lose.
Let's start with Saudi Arabia.
On the surface, the Saudis and US are allies.
They sell oil and dollars, they park their money in American markets, they share the US's desire for a weakened Iran.
Now, all that is true, but zoom out and ask what Saudi Arabia actually wants in the long run.
They want to be the dominant power in the Middle East.
A nuclear Iran is an existential threat to that, for sure.
So yes, they want Iran destroyed, but a United States that decisively wins this war and plants a flag permanently in the region?
That's not in Saudi's best interests.
The Saudis have been quietly building relationships with China.
They've been floating the idea of pricing some oil in yuan.
