‘Donroe doctrine is faltering because it is facing a reality check’ | MJ Akbar on new world order – The Economic Times Video
Delhi: On the situation in Iran, former MoS MEA MJ Akbar says: “…I think the Donroe doctrine is faltering because it is facing a reality check from the rest of the world. What America has achieved in this process is that it has started the process of alienating itself from its friends, Europe. In Iran, we can only measure the reality check by assessing the statements made by President Trump. This started with an immediate virtual announcement that an attack was imminent. 48 hours later we hear a completely different story: the Americans have actually abandoned the very important base in this region.” There has been no attack from the President’s allies, and I believe Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated or told Washington that an attack on Iran will have a counterproductive effect, and when you light a match in the pot, that explosion will have completely incredible consequences.”
