In this program he presents part 2 of a three-part series focusing on US Strategy. He examines US sanctions and strategic thinking. He explains how US sanctions lead countries to shift their focus toward China and other countries, and how this is counterproductive to US national interests. He argues that the US should change its strategic thinking and engage with countries such as Iran, China and Russia rather than use sanctions. When challenges arise in bilateral relations, the US may realize that it accomplishes more when relations are functional and working as the US may then engage, instead of when using sanctions. The recent strategic agreement signed by China and Iran is an example in point. Iran shifts focus towards China after experiencing US sanctions for years.
