MODERATORS
It really challenges the idea that nations ultimately are purely rational actors driven by resource competition. I have to remind myself sometimes that there are in fact some religious whackos tugging on the steering wheels. I don't have a very good understanding of Iran, but I assume they have their share of that too (how could they not?)
The main example I have of this is that Iran doesn’t want nuclear weapons because it believes they’re
. Which, fair enough, but they’d probably help keep the US from fucking with you as much.
I feel like the concept of rationality goes out the window when you start talking about larger and larger groups. :/
