«As bases dentro de um determinado país é como se fosse uma extraterritorialidade dos EUA»

"The bases within a given country are like an extraterritoriality of the US" Afonso Moura spoke on NOW about the escalation of attacks between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf region. The American priority in defending its primary interests, to the detriment of the security of its Arab partners, coupled with the ineffectiveness of air defenses against Iranian ballistic advances, has caused a breakdown of trust among regional powers, he argued. This scenario highlights a clear transition to a multipolar world, marked by growing Islamic solidarity against Western military interventions and reconfigurations of alliances, he added. In the European context, the refusal of certain member states to participate in the offensives reflects a desire for greater independence from the hegemony of Anglo-Saxon powers. At the same time, the war in Eastern Europe reveals the deep technological involvement of arms companies in maintaining military operations. However, the effectiveness of Western sanctions is questioned, since several European nations continue to profit significantly from Russian energy exports, says Afonso Moura. #UnitedStates #Iran #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Defense #Conflict #Multipolarity #EuropeanUnion #Armament #Sanctions #Russia #Economy #RealEstate #Housing #China #International #Politics
