Some of the 13 points don't make sense.

If Iran attacks Israel with WMD, Israel will retaliate with nukes- lots of them, & Israel MAY not limit its strikes to Iran. Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt?

So, the irradiated oil fields of Iran & the Gulf States wont be worth squat to the Russians or Chinese, & the cutoff of these supplies will hurt them just as much as the West.

Furthermore, when all the fallout from multiple nuclear detonations starts falling on other nations around the world, some may decide to join the conflict, & then we have WWIII.

I agree that Iran may try anything at any time, but I doubt that Russia or China has any desire to see Iran attack Israel at the present time.

You see, who looses this coming war may likely depend on which way the wind blows.

This will leave Russia as a dominant supplier of oil, who can name their own price.

Russian policy has always been to promote instability in the other oil producing regions. It strengthens the Russians (as a major oil producer), by forcing the price of oil up, and weakens the West, by taxing us with higher oil prices.

Israel will not drop them helter skelter on Iran. They will be sure to stay away from the oil refineries...unless the nuke labs are there as protection.

Must keep that oil flowing.
