Trump is set to scrap the nuclear deal with Iran, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), today. The silver lining here is that it will drive a wedge between the United States and Europe.
This morning Bill Van Auken, "Tensions rise with Trump set to announce decision on Iran nuclear deal," plays up the commercial divisions between Europe and the U.S. over Iran. But even more important than commerce is the political reality for the governing parties of Britain, France and Germany that the voters would rebel against a conflict with Iran.
Voters in the United States have been sapped of any strength to resist the widening gyre of war. Israel will lead the way, and the U.S. will join in.
Pain has to come home before the voters in the U.S. demand a halt to the madness.
But for the time being the initial stages have to play out. Let's pay close attention. The U.S. unipolar world ends today.
