It was hard to believe that, in the name of security, they deported to China Qian Xuesen, a prodigy trained at Caltech and MIT. After World War II, the Americans sent him to Germany to interrogate German scientists\u2014including Wernher von Braun, who would later become the chief architect of the Saturn V rocket for NASA\u2019s Apollo program\u2014and recruit them for the U.S. missile program. Two years later, Qian was even granted permanent residency in the United States. By deporting him, America not only lost one of its best scientists, but handed China the mind that would drive its space and ballistic programs. \u201cHe was no more a communist than I was, and we forced him to go,\u201d Kimball concluded.<\/p>\n

\nBorders
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Borders not only define the geographical and political limits of countries. They also establish abstract or conceptual limits\u2014that is, they define the point up to which something remains reasonable. The war against Iran, beyond violating territorial boundaries, suggests it is also breaching the limits of what is conceptually reasonable.<\/p>\n

So far, and without even counting the loss of life, the \u201cTrump versus Iran\u201d mission has driven up oil prices, shattered traditional alliances and consensus, and\u2014something akin to shooting himself in the foot\u2014has weakened his domestic political control at a particularly delicate moment.<\/p>\n

Panicans<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few months ago, President Trump coined the neologism \u201cpanicans<\/em>\u201d to refer, in a derogatory way, to those who react with alarm to economic or geopolitical turbulence\u2014people he described as \u201cweak and stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East\u2014marked by the assassination of Iranian leader Ali Larijani and the risk that even more radical factions could take control in Tehran\u2014has revived precisely the kind of anxiety Trump criticized. In this context, his campaign promises to avoid new wars and reduce the cost of living for Americans are being undermined, eroding the political support that brought him back to power. Paradoxically, with this new conflict, he has broadened the scope of his own term, labeling as \u201cpanicans<\/em>\u201d not only situational critics but also anyone concerned about global political stability.<\/p>\n

And as if that were not enough for the panicans<\/em>, worried about both political and economic destabilization caused by this war, we should not forget that the United States has also temporarily lifted sanctions on the sale of Russian crude oil and other petroleum products that had already been loaded onto ships before March 12. This allows the release onto the market of around 100 million barrels of Russian oil, thus giving oxygen to the Kremlin\u2019s war machine in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Is it about China?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As is well known, China and Iran signed a 25-year Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Agreement on March 27, 2021. It included cooperation in defense, though in a rather general and non-binding way. Moreover, the classic Chinese text The Thirty-Six Stratagems speaks of \u201cbeating the grass to scare the snake<\/em>\u201d (\u6253\u8349\u60ca\u86c7<\/strong>, d\u01ce c\u01ceo j\u012bng sh\u00e9<\/em>). Could it be that this entire conflict has been orchestrated simply to frighten and weaken the Chinese \u201csnake,\u201d given that China imports about 15% of its oil from Iran, and to demonstrate that it is incapable of militarily protecting a partner that America deems undesirable?<\/p>\n

The answer appears to be negative. Deporting Qian was a mistake (the stupidest thing), the Iraq war was likely another, and the war with Iran may well join the list\u2014suggesting that everything has been a miscalculation beyond the borders.<\/p>\n
