So basically losing all independence and becoming China’s slave camp? Even that isn’t realistic, considering the sanctions the US would impose on China.
No lol, low tech products you use everyday are produced somewhere, if China doesn't want to manufacture them anymore somebody will have to produce them, it could be Iran. Actually it would make Iran's economy more resilient due to increased domestic industrial capacity, would bring in foreign currency, and by having a larger role in international trade, would make it more difficult to sanction Iran.
To be clear, that's all Iran has to offer
anybody, and we have even less to offer the west. US I think is the world's largest oil producer now, they have Zangezur corridor so can bypass Iran from both North and South, and is working (and failing) to increase domestic production. Iran has literally nothing to offer the west. The "education level of the people" is irrelevant, most of these diaspora success cases are citizens of other countries, they don't need to flip Iran to get them to work with them, they already have them.
And as much as I hate discussing this, but since you brought it up—if we were to become another country’s bitch, wouldn’t it be better to choose the US and at least benefit from it?
First off, this is a non-starter, as the jews do not want anyone near them that could challenge them. The chances of switching to the west and getting built up is zero, economic strength is as much as a threat to them as military strength. The jews want the Libya/Syria solution and they control the US which controls europe. Even if that wasn't the case, like I told shapurl, if there is an example of anybody benefiting from becoming a western puppet post-Cold War, please enlighten me, because I am not aware of any such cases, especially if you're not white.
