      Not really. That’s generally just something anyone should expect. After all the United States China Russia etc etc etc etc have all done the same. It’s why allowing a concentration of power. Or in cases like China and Russia demanding a concentration of Power are such bad things. Power corrupts.

          The actions of authoritarian governments rarely do. They’re honestly not concerned with long-term thinking or benefit. Because they don’t need to be. It does not benefit them personally to do that extra work.

            “”“Authoritarian”“” governments (really, all governments) are concerned with the continuation of their authority. Iran, it seems, is so desperate to work with the US that it will try over and over again, despite always getting back-stabbed shortly after. See also: the nuclear deal. It’s short sighted and it never works, but they keep doing it. You’d think they’d learn!

      No, it’s not

      But I know that trying to explain it like you were 3 would be too hard for someone posting from .ml

        You’re such an independent thinker. How could I ever comprehend your incredible insights like “America’s enemies bad”?

      The country that kills girls for not wearing a head covering? That’s the one you’re expecting to take care of it’s people?

        I’d expect an enemy of the US to not work with the US whenever the opportunity presents itself.

        Iran has always been willing to capitulate, even though they’re touted as America’s #1 enemy in the region.

        It’s an odd relationship.
