Sure thing. But it does not mean we should be anxious and reactively respond to their actions. We (the West) should be more proactive and finally show our strength and determination to adhere to our principles, rules and values. Showing weakness and indecisiveness is what feeds them.

Are they really growing stronger ? Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran has never been weaker. Russia is exhausted both economically and militarily. If West acted rationally it would not be difficult to bring them down to their knees. We lack real political leaders and are afraid of paper tiger.
