Whoa. Haven’t seen that article, thank you. It would be much easier to implement.

You’re welcome I guess...

That is not exactly the kind of stuff I want to see going on, but things are happening much, much faster than people realize.

Just a few weeks ago someone here on FR claimed there would never be an alliance between China and Russia...

there is an alliance and it is in oil.

America and the west will be hurt very badly by the Middle East turmoil. China and Russia will proper and become very strong.

"...That is not exactly the kind of stuff I want to see going on,.."

Me either. These are terrible times. That story was tucked in away from the public. The MSM and the rest of the press aren't covering any of this and it is left up to sites like FR to keep people informed. I thank God for it.

Several years ago I read something in which the author said that more and more people were beginning to feel that, “Nothing works anymore.” I knew instinctively what he meant, I already had that feeling that everything was headed inexorably into a downward spiral. Now it seems more and more that the whole world is being flushed.

The protests against the ever shrinking $ (thanks Bernanke), are righteous. Others around the world are not going to dumbly sit and accept lesser value for their goods and services, why should they?

Our problem, too. We are all being chiseled and swindled by the "Federal Reserve", by outrageous and unsustainable government spending, and by a massively corrupt Federal government. It is not the foreigners' fault!

Oh joy, another conspiracy theory in the making. But it would be interesting to find out what groups are running around in the background of all this middle east unrest. On the other hand, it could just be wikileaks revelations and food prices.

The world is not going to accept what we have done.

So, they are moving towards a new reserve currency. All they need to do is cut our oil imports in dollars.

To do that...destabilize the Middle East.

Yes, that's what it is all about, every speck of worldwide trouble is all corponazibankster control to issue in another "new" currency.

They will slash & burn until the ma$$es beg for it.

Would have; could have; should have!!
How long will America be able to survive against virtually the entire rest of the world with its oil supply cut to whatever fraction is now being produced from sources in U. S. territory, coupled (purposefully) with a crippling and demoralizing debt and all the internal misery that will entail, and a large fraction of its population even now agitating for its demise?

After all the blood, sweat, treasure and tears we put into Iraq, we are not even out of there before the primitive ass-holes begin to go to shit. What a world.

When Patton finished off the Nazis, he suggested the we take on the Russians since we are already there.

Yeah but Patton also used lots of Nazi bureaucrats to operate the occupation government, because they were good at it.

El Salvador has the most citizens per capita in the U.S., then any other country in the world. They also have a new government (liberal) that is an offshoot of the marxist guerillas from the Salvadorian civil war.

They are also a key ally in Central America because they sent troops to Iraq.

Hope that helps.

Not the ones who bombed the refinery?...OK

That place is a mess...To think we spent $1,000,000,000,000 tax dollars, and thousands of American lives...

Of course, none of this surprises me....

Me either. You made some posts last night that I fully agree with. “Nation building” is a sucker’s game.
