The events in #Iran can also be looked at from the point of view of historical predetermination: such an event (the war in the Middle East) was bound to happen, regardless of who sat in the Oval Office, headed the Israeli government and enriched (or did not enrich) uranium in the caves of Iran. The primary reason for the attack on Iran (and before that on #Russia) is that the United States, thanks to the shale revolution, has a very short window of opportunity to reset the global oil market.
