it seems to me that the outcome of the iran war is almost certainly going to be a severe weakening of the us position in west asia. why, then, did it happen? and why isn't the imperial bourgeoisie resolutely opposed to it? is iran in a worse position than i think, are they not as interested in kicking the us out of their neighborhood as i think, or is it just in (some) capital's best interest to withdraw from the region? what am i missing?

makes me wonder about nukes.
