But wait, there's more...contradiction. chaos etc., natch...

Sanctions policy was supposed to bring Iran to the table or the regime to its knees

It failed

The administration’s apparent response: to double down on that failed policy

All this is doing is accelerating the transition to a multipolar world order. It’s not a good sign when you’re forcing allies and partners into line because they don’t think your policy makes sense.
