In fact, expecting an Iranian nuclear attack against Israel is pathetic; it means that you are totally unable to estimate what your rival´s possible acts may be. This is absolutely detrimental, when it comes to US interests in the Middle East.
Hillary Clinton´s Incapacity to Deal with Complex Issues
Assuming that the Iranians may finally decide to fire on Tel Aviv a nuclear missile with a Hiroshima type atomic bomb (which is not probable, but we take it here as a working hypothesis), one should question whether the correct US answer would be a total obliteration of Iran.
It is highly questionable whether the present administration or a hypothetical Clinton administration will ever be in a position to compose a convincing Iran containment policy. Israel cannot be ´used´ in this regard because, according to US interests, it is the country to be protected; the protector and the protected cannot be possibly identified. As a matter of fact, any involvement of the Zionist state would trigger a rather unsolicited Anti-American and Anti-Western tsunami within the Islamic World.
Turkey is enough to eliminate potential Iranian threats
Turkey is the only force capable to disperse all chances of a Middle Eastern involvement of Iran. America, driven by an ominously anti-American, pro-British part of the US establishment, has long pushed Turkey to further integrate with the EU. This corresponds only to British interests but as political objective, it is in straightforward conflict with vital US interests spanning from Eastern Mediterranean to Central Asia.
For Hillary Clinton to save Israel, a Turkish – Azeri secular state union should become the key to all future developments in Eurasia; with Georgia in the picture and with Turkey in Northern Iraq, the pro-American forces of Ankara and Baku should focus their efforts of legitimate expansionism on Iran.
Iran is a vast country made up of different nations, ethnic and religious groups that shared common values for many long centuries and their homogeneity dates back in the Pre-Islamic era. The unilateral and tyrannical policies of the theocratic Shia Persian Ayatullah regime have by now disturbed and disrupted this historical homogeneity.
These policies do currently consist in a real threat for the Azeris, the Turks, the Soranis, the Goranis, the Ahl-e Haq, the Christian Aramaeans, the Loris, the Bakhtiaris, the Zoroasterians, the Bahais, the Baluchis, and other local ethno-religious groups that represent slightly more than 50% of Iran´s population (74 million people).
By fomenting an Azeri – Turkish insurgence in Iran, Turkey can trigger the final dismemberment of Iran, and the rise of a Euro-Asiatic Union of democratic, secular Turkic-speaking states, eliminating at the same time potential Iranian threats against Israel and Islamic terrorist threats against the entire world.
This scenario would help divert Anti-Americanism and Anti-Semitism, generating completely new dynamics within the Islamic World, and turning decisively the balance of power against the Russian – Chinese Euro-Asiatic landmass schemes.
Hillary Clinton´s Impermissible State of Mind
Quite unfortunately for the first US female presidential candidate, it´s not ignorance of international politics or incapacity to deal with complex issues what consists in her most detrimental insufficiency; it´s her impermissible state of mind.
Hillary Clinton´s personal desire and political choice to portray herself as a potentially strong president is her greatest disadvantage; one has reason to believe that this attitude reflects basic parameters of her mindset. Instead of further analyzing it, one should rather examine the side effects of an inconsiderate response to an eventual Iranian aggression. A US attack or counterattack would indeed trigger the most unexpected and the most brutal violence in the History of the Middle East.
