I really believe that the whole Iran fuss is just another element of the US foreign policy put in place in Clinton era. It is ironic, and perhaps a poetic justice, but it will be Mrs. Clinton and her old guard in the State Department and the White House that will have to preside over its dismantling. Bush era only translated Clinton doctrine into a spelled-out, in-your-face diktat. With us, or against us! There are many elements to that policy. Foundation is the policy of total dominance. For as long as it remains in place, only tactical changes will occur, and mostly in order to retrench and reasses. From that perspective, a new strategy towards Iran may emerge as well. One can only guess on the extent of retrenchment. The mere fact that Israel as well as Hamas are supposed to answer questions to the UN Security Council for the war crimes charges is a stunning change. Even though the missile defence strategy was in the works for a while, and all allies informed accordingly, the bruises in US/Europe relationships are real. The battle for Opel, the humiliation of German commander in Afghanistan, the petty obstacles in the path of Nord Stream and South Stream, the belittleing of NABUCCO transit states, being unworthy of asking for guaranteed supplies of gas --- as if they are mere maid servants of the ultimate European consumers, all did not fly well, and generated resentment. The new narrative of US involvement with Europe and Japan is to stay out of their way. It is expected that as allies they will protect US interests as they integrate into their respective regions. For Europe, that means greater linkage to Russia and Asia, and for Japan, with China and Russia. Japan has been left out of many integration processes, like ASEAN, and will seek to change that. The new strategy can be called "delegation". Will the key goals change as well, if the delegation does not work?

Israel is ready to attack Iran with the support of U.S. They aim just at isolate Iran from its powerful friend. Don't let them tie your hands. The history is continually repeating itself. Remember the "the Horse of Troy"-

When will you all realize that the whole shame has nothing to do with the USA, Russia, Iran, North-Korea, Israel. It is only a matter of money; huge sums of dollars, euros even roubles (billions of it). American and many european economies are military economies (even suiss businessmen cry if they don't have their small part of armaments' subcontractors' benefits. They don't know and don't want to know what the word: reconvertion mean. After the cold-war, we had and still have the war against terror, then since the Reagan's era: the star-war of which the AMD is the continuity; then we may follow thru with some kind of defense against an aliens' invasion. Do you see how sick is mankind's governance ! Nobody challenge that insanity because America and the few thousands greedy creeps who run the show want it that way. For the sake of Future Generations, please will someone wake-up... Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

Message to Iran: Go to Russia or China and buy a lots of anti-air missle defence systems, because it look's like the money and oil monsters wants new Iraq and new oil deposits. It looks like that slowly resource war has already started. It is very important for the world that Iran menages to defend itself from those monster intruders from the west. They would do just everything to get more money and influence - and that is ideology which is still in the Middle or Bronze Age... And congratulation for the RussiaToday for making this article and many others! You are just one of few agencies which are telling some different sides of the ''thruth''!!
