europe is another matter. this does give iran breathing room, hopefully it will not be an excuse to continue with nuclear capabilities. that is not good for anybody. but there has to be a very clear and open stance on this. it's the worst kept secret in the world that israel has nukes and plenty of them and is willing to use them. at this point, if there is going to be denuclearization, if iran, china and the u.s. are going to operate, along with russia and europe, there has to be absolute clarity, and stop with this narrative that you are doing this and therefore i am responding. i would agree that china is stuck in this tit-for-tat response to the u.s.. i don't think that that is going to solve anything. there have to be some more creative thinking, and more thinking in terms of the international situation. much happening between these two powers is having an immense effect on the rest of the world, and preventing, in many cases, real progress being made on pressing issues today of climate change and covid.
