Comments: With respect to Shahnghai Cooperation Organization iran is just being used as a vasileh with not much to offer as trade between iran and many of the countries listed is minimal. China - USA trade is near $700 billion a year vs with iran which is about 1% of it. The only benefit for China is that they are enjoying buying Iranian oil at 40% discount. Saudis sells their oil to China at full price. Buying Iranian oil is still illegal and at 40% discount it does not make it legal. Biden does not mind Xi to enjoy the discount.
Comments: Yeah. I don't think it is a democrat / Republican thing. Maybe in terms of slogans the two parties want to show differentiation and all by saying things just like they do with gun control or immigration. Many think democrats are softer when it comes to immigration or gun control but nothing changed. Americans (democrats and republicans) love their guns and none want their guns taken away. Or on immigration Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any other President. Or for example The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986—(The so called green card through Amnesty) signed into law by President Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to about 3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. The two parties are part of the broader capitalist system and largely decide everything as shahin said based on risk / reward analysis. They have more in common than differences. Let's always remember that. Or war for that matter. GWB started a war in Middle East and Biden started the one Ukraine. I don't think party affiliation is religiously followed in this country as much as it is in a parliamentary countries like Europe or Israel. One interesting thing about Cuba is that unlike iran or North Korea it's only sanctioned by USA but other superpowers do not take any steps to come to Cuba's rescue. Why? Same reason, risk versus reward. What we have learned recently is that neoconservatism has nothing to do with the party line anymore. Sure it started and put in execution by GWB but we see it supported and continuing by the likes of Hillary or Biden.
Comments: Iran’s trajectory went the wrong way in 1979. Iranian people are namak nashnas farts by default. It will not change in foreseeable future. Best scenario is it will be like today for 20 more years. Chances are greater it will get worse and famine will turn it into North Korea 2.
Comments: Done zilch Typo
Comments: Biden has been President for 2 years and has font zilch in domestic amd intl scene.
Comments: Aren’t Dems and Reps the two end of the same stick. Specially more so in foreign policy. I change that. Not more so, exactly the same. They both get their foreign policy guideline book from the same source. MIC/Corporations and Israel.
Comments: Why would that matter? I accept that just like I accept many things my mom says and I disagree with. Cubans may affect Florida's elections only (not even sure of that). Iranian old farts definitely do not affect anything. I dont let these ruin my day. A Cuban American identity is tied to this conflict, I am more empathetic
Comments: Of course! The same goes with IRI. No matter what, the government of each country is responsible for their citizens. I’m talking about American citizens including Iranians and Cubans who believe one party is going to help them while it’s all just a game.
Comments: Yes but Cuban government and system still to blame for the poverty and backwardness in Cuba not Americans
Comments: Shahin, Exactly! America is fine with those countries being what they are. The sad part is that republicans have made Iranians and Cubans living here believe they are changing things in their countries for a long time. They get votes from them while doing nothing to change the regime in either Iran or Cuba.
Comments: Zinsky: Cuba policy has been exploited by neocons and republicans for years. Obama tried to change that but the cost benefit analysis is not there to change it for democrats
Comments: What a gesture by the Brazilian soccer team https://twitter.com/drninaansary/status/1676370396050862081?s=46&t=xdQgzx90MRVkLbAjVGu2rA
Comments: The Biden administration recently made two grim announcements: Iran is helping to manufacture drones for Russia. China operates a spy base in Cuba. The message is clear: America’s foes are joining forces. They now constitute what Washington’s influential Center for a New American Security recently called a new “axis of authoritarians,” which threatens U.S. interests from East Asia to the Caribbean and Eastern Europe to the Persian Gulf. The phrase implies that what binds the governments of Russia, China, Iran and Cuba is their common aversion to democracy. For a Washington foreign-policy class that often depicts America’s geopolitical struggles as contests between freedom and tyranny, it’s an appealing narrative. But there’s a problem. Only a few years ago, the governments of Cuba and Iran — which had the same authoritarian political systems back then — were pursuing closer ties to Washington. They didn’t swerve toward Russia and China because they realized they hate democracy. They swerved because the United States spurned those overtures and drove them into the arms of America’s great-power foes. Under both Donald Trump and President Biden, Washington has helped create the very anti-American partnerships it now bemoans, which is exactly what it did during the last Cold War. Take Cuba. For most of the post-Cold War era, its government’s strategy has been fairly clear: keep its political system closed while opening the economy to foreign investment. That required better relations with Washington, since U.S. sanctions not only barred Cuba from its biggest potential source of tourism and trade but also scared off European companies. William LeoGrande, a Latin America expert at American University, told me, “Every major component of Cuba’s economic strategy in the last two decades had been premised on long-term expectations that the relationship with the U.S. would improve.”
