Are you not asking the wrong question? I am only asking if there might be a theory that explains the actions of the USA. I am not asking what might be morally correct or good for the world, or even for the USA. IF, as the theory goes, the Iran war is just one stepping-stone of a much broader, and longer-term, strategy to deny China of petroleum/LNG, etc.,then the recent behavior of the USA can be partially explained. Israel, and Bibi, becomes no more than a pawn. Israel need not know the part they play. Maybe Bibi realizes he is a pawn, but his hatrid is so rabid for his neighbors, it does not matter to him, anyway. The Iran war and oil/energy shipment disruption, shipments mostly destined for China, is what is required to facilitate the overall strategy of forever dominating China, and weakening China, any way possible. If the economies of other countries fail in the process, then this is just one more expediency. I am not saying this is the most reasonable explaination at this time. Yet, I think it is also not a conspiracy theory, either. Perhaps this theory is valid in part, either in a major or minor way, in explaining what we see. Perhaps Trump is more crazy like a fox, rather than what most might think, crazy in general. Trump is not crazy, and this should be obvious by now. Perhaps he is only misunderstood.
