Запад ведет себя тише воды ниже травы это не лучший вариант для глобальной политики такой тихой политикой она дает повод вот таким режимом как в Иране в Москве дейстовать дерзко и не бояться последствий понятно что у Ирана свои интересы на ближнем востоке они не всегда совпадают с Сунитскими странами на ближнем востоке...И нам пора определится где мы с кем мы будем неопределённость это путь в бездну так политика не ведется ситуация в мире меняется завтра могут пойти санкции и против нас здесь уже никакой баланс не поможет то туда то сюда ...И вообще куда мы идем как страна что нас ждет в будущем что мы хотим никакой стратегии нету все до лампочки новый день пришел и хорошо так не развиваются страны это утопия...Нам нужны концепции стратегии развития страны у нас должна быть цель а не пустота идти вслепую не зная куда...

По всей видимости, Израиль преднамеренно спровоцировал Иран чтоб тот напал первым. Основной задачей Израиля, по всей вероятности, будет проведение масштабной атаки на иранскую ядерную инфраструктуру.
