What's stopping the state from "embracing" the sanctions Russia-style and going full throttle east? These western appeasing libs? If they are coming to power because of concerns with lack of geopolitical assertiveness from former government then wouldn't they lose that power if they renege? Or are these "western" bourgoisie in Iran just that powerful? Are there competing factions of bourgoisie?
Chinese deals with Iran are all kinds of fucked; there is a lot of middle men and back channels and shell companies and banks etc.... We are dealing with China even now but anything serious would require, either:
A) China goes full "fuck your sanctions" to the west, which would put the west in a really bad position and legally cut off many companies from the western market, triggering a response
B) Iran gets rid of sanctions and starts dealing without all the shadow banking bullshit
Russia is new to the game, we've been doing this shadow network shit for a long time. I think the only country with whom we can actually deal (straightforwardly) is the DPRK who has been our true ally on more than one occasion
Thank you for taking the time to explain for all these queries; much appreciated! Stay safe brother.
