Peace, in this sense, emerges when the use of force no longer serves the political objectives of the actors involved. For both Iran and the US, the...
End of cost-free empire
America had a policy of an asymmetric cost model. It means costing the other side far more. Select a small state, lash out locally and coerce it economically and militarily.
