Putin and Xi will celebrate Trump’s ‘preemptive war’ in Iran
“I think we’ve really got to understand our other interests in the world that might be affected by this attack today. This is a preemptive war. The world does not support preemptive wars. We learned that in 2003,” McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia said in an interview on MSNBC, referring to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which was launched based on the theory that Saddam Hussein’s regime had weapons of mass destruction and threatened America.
“Putin will be celebrating this because he did his own preemptive war in Ukraine and now it’s like, well, this is just what great powers do. Maybe Xi Jinping is going to think the same. He’s going to say, ‘Well, if they can do it here, we can do it in Taiwan,” McFaul added.
