【一语中的｜理查德·沃尔夫：从国力衰退到贫富分化 美国为何要对伊朗采取军事行动？】美国经济学家理查德·沃尔夫近日在接受半岛电视台采访时分析称，美国政府试图以对伊朗动武转移国内三大难题。一是掩盖美国国力相对衰退的事实，通过军事行动塑造强硬姿态；二是爱泼斯坦政治丑闻持续发酵，借此转移公众视线；三是转嫁国内贫富分化加剧引发的不满情绪，以对外强硬姿态缓解内部经济与社会矛盾。
American economist Richard Wolff explained that the US decision to wage war on Iran is driven by three main domestic political factors. First, it aims to divert public attention from America's relative decline by projecting an image of military strength, he said. Second, it seeks to distract from the escalating political fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which threatens to expose more powerful figures, Wolff added. Finally, it is a tactic to deflect from the severe economic crisis, especially the growing wealth gap and the shrinking middle class, he noted. http://t.cn/AXIO8YVv
