In reply to the discussion: Venezuela's Chavez welcomes ally Ahmadinejad [View all]ronnie624
(5,764 posts)I just pointed out some of the hypocrisy in the rationalizations, both official and non-official, for U.S. foreign policy regarding Iran. The duplicity inherent to U.S. foreign policy, and the arrogance of the U.S. government issuing warnings and orders to other countries as if they weren't even sovereign entities with their own interests to look out for, are actually central to this issue. I didn't bring the U.S. into it. The State Department's words beg for a review of the history of U.S. conduct.
As for the alliance between Iran and Venezuela, clearly they have common cause, as they have found themselves to be central players in the geo-strategic goals of U.S. foreign policy planners, which can't possibly be much fun for anyone. Who am I to pass judgment? I don't regard either county -- or the two of them together -- as a threat to others, and most certainly not to the United States.
