It's funny that the US is spending so many billions of dollars trying to sabotage Iran's economy and nuclear plant, when the country poses zero threat to the US, and the US faces enormous fiscal challenges.

When I write funny, I mean utterly tragic, wasteful and a result of a relentless propaganda campaign which has resulted in every political candidate falling over themselves to prove how committed they are to facing down the menacing Iranian threat.

The propaganda is mutual. The US finds it convenient to have an enemy while Iranians are cowed into supporting the aytollahs for fear of US invasion. This is a dangerous kind of equilibrium.
Zero threat to US allies too?
