“Hillary's Sociopathic Wikileaks Emails: Kill Assad, Destroy Syria - Deep State Goal for 10 Years

‘Response to a comment, ‘"For Israeli leaders, the real threat from a nuclear-armed Iran is not the prospect of an insane Iranian leader launching an unprovoked Iranian nuclear attack on Israel that would lead to the annihilation of both countries. What Israeli military leaders really worry about -- but cannot talk about -- is losing their nuclear monopoly:"’
Yes, and all of Israel's whining and threats about Iran are related.
Israel sees itself as the central state of the Middle East Region, a miniature replica of what the United States is in the world in general.
Iran's size – with a population close to Germany's - and its vast economic potential, in fact, make it the "natural" dominant state of the region.
Israel cannot stand the thought. Israel’s leaders expect their tiny state - about 10% of Iran's population and almost no potential for significant growth in size - to be the region's directing power.
It all speaks to immense, unwarranted arrogance.
Iran is no threat to Israel, but Israel never stops playing that tune for all its loyal Congressional followers, the same people whose skirts Israel hides behind for money, back-up protection, and the waging of genuinely aggressive wars throughout the Middle East on its behalf.
The whole business creates almost a kind of surrealistic world of foreign affairs where almost nothing is what it seems to be, and almost nothing makes any sense in logic or in terms of principles or human values.
