They started bombing Iran to protect the international community from its possible nuclear weapons. Adolf Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, ostensibly to protect Germany and Europe from an attack that no one had ever prepared. In world politics there is always a struggle for control over natural and human resources, as well as for control over the means of their supply. Watch the full lecture.
