Hillary Clinton's Strategic AMBITION In A Nutshell

It has become crystal clear.

For the record, here it is.

She has big ambitions, which she does not spell out for fear of frightening part of the electorate, but which are perfectly understood by her closest aides and biggest donors. She wants to achieve regime change in Russia. She enjoys the support of most of the State Department and much of the Pentagon, and Congress is ready to go.

The method: a repeat of the 1979 Brezinski ploy, which consisted of luring Moscow into Afghanistan, in order to get the Russians bogged down in their "Vietnam". As the Russians are a much more peace-loving people, largely because of what they suffered in two World Wars, the Russian involvement in Afghanistan was very unpopular and can be seen as a cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

This led to the temporary reign of the drunken Boris Yeltsin who � as recounted in Strobe Talbott's memoirs � was putty in the hands of Bill Clinton. Hillary would like to renew that sort of relationship. Putin is an obstacle.

Hillary Clinton's ambition � made explicit by her own and her close aides' statements about Libya in emails at the time � is to gain her place in history as victorious strategist of "regime change", using open and covert methods ("smart power"), thus bringing recalcitrant regions under control of the "exceptional, good" nation, the United States.
This ambition is backed by possession of nuclear weapons. I am by no means saying that this plan will succeed. But it is very clearly the plan. The electoral circus is a distraction from such crucially serious matters.
