00:00:00
and Iran is the really dangerous flash
00:00:03
point because as you know the Russians
00:00:05
are now closely allied with the Iranians
00:00:07
the Chinese are moving in that direction
00:00:09
as well and if Israel gets involved in a
00:00:14
war with Iran we're going to come in in
00:00:17
all likelihood so this gets at the
00:00:19
escalation problem now to counter the
00:00:22
Iranian escalation scenario the fact is
00:00:26
Iran does not want a war with the United
00:00:28
States and the United States does not
00:00:30
want a war with Iran and it's the
00:00:33
Israelis especially Benjamin Netanyahu
00:00:35
who has been trying to sort of suck us
00:00:37
into a war because he wants us the

United States to really whack Iran
00:00:44
weaken it militarily and especially to
00:00:46
go after its nuclear capabilities
00:00:48
because as you well know they are close
00:00:50
to the point where they can develop
00:00:52
nuclear weapons so the Israelis are the
00:00:54
ones who want us to get involved in a
00:00:58
big war with Iran that's the escalation
00:01:00
flash point and the $64,000 question is
00:01:03
whether you think the United States and
00:01:05
Iran kind of colluding can work together
00:01:09
to prevent the Israelis from getting us
00:01:11
sucked in that question will be answered
00:01:13
based on who leads the next
00:01:15
administration well if you believe that
00:01:18
it matters who leads the next
00:01:20
administration that's
