Problem: The sanctions on Iran are already the toughest in history. You lose your leverage when you keep doing that.

There was an old video of some sorts I recall vaguely (satire, commercial, have no idea) where a large group of Chinese officials were in a presentation, discussing the world affairs. My memory of it is very rough, but the "punchline" was one of them asking the speaker at the end what they should do about competing with the Western world/US politically and economically. And he said, nothing. They'll do themselves in and that's when China will take leadership of the world.

Aka don't stop the enemy when they're making mistakes.

Yeah, this is what confuses me. But it could be all kinds of things. Language classes, international banking, fiscally minded propaganda, etc.

The US has failed again, time for another round of meaningless sanctions.

Nah, they would have been stronger if the U.S. hadn't already been financially destroyed.
