GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
La guerre en Iran a revele une verite que le Pentagone connaissait mais que l'opinion publique ignorait : les Etats-Unis n'ont pas les stocks de munitions pour mener une guerre prolongee et maintenir simultanement leur posture de dissuasion globale. 1 100 Tomahawk representent dix ans de production au rythme actuel. Les 1 200 Patriot tires coutent pres de 5 milliards de dollars a eux seuls. Le remplissage prendra six ans -- pendant lesquels la dissuasion en Asie et en Europe sera affaiblie. L'email du Pentagone sur la suspension de l'Espagne montre que Washington cherche des boucs emissaires pour une alliance qui se fissure non pas par manque de volonte mais par manque de moyens.
