Washington's game plan, if it gets its way, may be along the following lines: To crush the Iranian regime to create a neo-colonial regime that --a US puppet. To achieve this it must first must knock out Iraq. In this way Washington will have effectively encircled Iran. Iraq must be defeated first to prevent it from forming an alliance with Iran against US military aggression.
Once Iraq is knocked out Washington has Pakistan, Afghanistan and bases in the Central Asian area. This constitutes an effective encirclement of Iran rendering an attack on it all the more successful. The attack on Afghanistan, in many ways, had little to do with the elimination of the Taliban regime and Bin Laden. The strategy was to take out Afghanistan as part of the strategy for the crushing of the relatively independent Iranian regime. Once these regimes have been turned into effective neo-colonies Pakistan will be made to become even more suppliant to Washington. A serious study of the world map shows that if Washington is successful in crushing Iraq, Iran and North Korea it will have gone some way in encircling China and Russia individually. Among its geo-strategic purposes is to increase further the geopolitics separation of Russia and China. This increases it options concerning policy goals in the these two regions.
