Voici un commentaire fort int\u00e9ressant de MK Bhadrakumar, du 20 juillet 2014<\/a> (sur Indian PunchLine<\/em>). Nous nous distan\u00e7ons de certaines des appr\u00e9ciations du commentateurs, notamment sur la politique US depuis 2009 telle qu’il l’analyse, parce que c’est bien trop charger de sens ce qui n’est qu’une non-politique, ou politique-Syst\u00e8me<\/a>, d\u00e9cha\u00een\u00e9e par la seule pression du Syst\u00e8me. Le d\u00e9cha\u00eenement, pas d’autre mot possible, auquel nous assistons aujourd’hui est \u00e9videmment de l’ordre d’une m\u00e9canique, ou bien d’une tectonique de forces absolument hors du contr\u00f4le humain, quelles que soient les projets, desseins et plans de l’humain en question. L’int\u00e9r\u00eat de ce texte, selon nous, est sur l’autre face du sujet, et bien entendu la plus enrichissante et la plus centrale, c’est-\u00e0-dire la Russie, son orientation fondamentale et ses relations avec l’Iran dans le d\u00e9cha\u00eenement actuel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tBhadrakumar \u00e9voque comme une possibilit\u00e9 fondamentale un rapprochement de la Russie avec l’Iran, rapprochement qu’il juge possible selon l’\u00e9tat d’esprit actuel de l’Iran, concr\u00e9tis\u00e9 par une communication du pr\u00e9sident iranien Rouhani \u00e0 Poutine le 19 juillet. Bhadrakumar juge que si la Russie se rapproche d\u00e9cisivement de l’Iran dans l’actuelle n\u00e9gociation sur le nucl\u00e9aire iranien, elle peut acqu\u00e9rir, ou retrouver<\/strong> si l’on tient compte de l’\u00e9volution de la crise ukrainienne, une place pr\u00e9pond\u00e9rante face au bloc BAO qui esp\u00e8re contraindre l’Iran \u00e0 un march\u00e9 selon ses termes. C’est alors que la logique du commentateur indien, s’adressant directement \u00e0 la Russie, devient v\u00e9ritablement tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressante, sonnant comme une exhortation \u00e0 abandonner les r\u00eaves d’occidentalisation qu’entretiennent les gens du parti occidentaliste \u00e0 Moscou, et que Poutine lui-m\u00eame n’a jamais tout \u00e0 fait repouss\u00e9, pour s’engager r\u00e9ellement et sans frein, en ralliant l’Iran dans une alliance suppl\u00e9mentaire, dans l’affrontement in\u00e9vitable contre le bloc BAO.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abTo be sure, Moscow has lost the propaganda war to Washington. It harks back to the Cold War era. The US was always miles ahead of the former Soviet Union in catching the worm be it during the Cuban missile crisis, Afghanistan or Boris Pasternak’s Dr. Zhivago.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTo my mind, Russia is at fault here. This is what happens to a divided house. It has been quite apparent to any long-time observer that Moscow was being pulled in opposite directions by the so-called westernists’ and orientalists’, the latter on retreat. The Ukraine crisis ought to be a wake-up call. The point is, history has not ended and Russia can never be part of the Western world. It is too big and too different and too powerful and unmanageable. Russia’s presence in the European tent challenges the US’ trans-Atlantic leadership and questions the very raison d’etre of the NATO, and indeed Euro-Atlanticism as the leitmotif of the US global strategies ceases to be.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIt is about time the westernists’ among the Moscow elites realize that all they have is a pipe dream. There is no precedent of the US ever having treated another country including Britain on an equal footing. Therefore, Russia’s destiny is dictated by the need to consolidate its standing as an independent global player. It has the capacity to do it, but, alas, often enough not the will and interest in discerning who is a potential ally and who is not. That makes the phone call that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani put through to Putin yesterday a many-splendored thing for a Russia watcher. Of course, Rouhani didn’t broach Ukraine. The surprise would have been if he had.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTo be sure, it is a poignant moment in Iran-Russia relations. The Kremlin had cooperated with the Obama administration in the spirit of the (in)famous US-Russia reset’ to put the screws on Iran and isolate that country at a time when Tehran was having its back against the wall. Of course, that was a time when the westernists’ in Moscow were ruling the roost and they were brimming with confidence that they were having a deal with Obama, chewing hotdog and washing ti down with coke. The whole world seemed to them a burger joint, in fact.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe wheel has come full circle now. The reset turned out to be a macabre joke that the Obama administration played on the Kremlin folks. And the mother of all ironies is that Russia today is being threatened with an avalanche of sanctions by the US unless it behaved properly over Ukraine, much the same way Iran used to be threatened until last year.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbAnd, yet, Rouhani didn’t broach Ukraine with Putin. But he’d have left food for thought for Moscow. The point is, simply by being a sincere friend and strategic partner of Iran at this point in time when the US-Iran talks are finely poised, Moscow can turn the tables on Washington and hit back at the cold warriors in Washington where it hurts them most.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbQuite obviously, the US’ negotiating hand vis-a-vis Tehran is weakening. A return to ground zero (before the direct talks began) is not possible; a military strike against Iran is not feasible; if talks fail Tehran will resume the nuclear program full-throttle. In sum, Iran has breached the US’ ring of encirclement. That is the meaning of the extension of the July 20 deadline for the nuclear deal. Period…<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe bottom line is that the Iranians will give the Americans a run for their money. There is no way that Tehran is going to give up on its massive assets running into hundreds of billions of dollars, which the US confiscated following the fall of the Shah; it was plain highway robbery. Nor could Iran have forgotten that the Americans deliberately shot down an Iranian civilian aircraft in 1988 knowing fully well it was a civilian aircraft killing 300 people on board.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbI first began dealing with Iran as a career diplomat in 1989 and I have been to that country so many times that I really lost count. If I know my Iran, I can tell this much: Rouhani reached out to Putin at a defining moment in contemporary world politics.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 24 juillet 2014 \u00e0 08H42<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conseil \u00e0 Poutine : rallier l’Iran contre le bloc BAO Voici un commentaire fort int\u00e9ressant de MK Bhadrakumar, du 20 juillet 2014 (sur Indian PunchLine).
