I must agree with uncbob. He sounds as though he has a grip. I wouldn’t even begin worrying about it unless the idea of dismantling of currency markets ever occurs and of course it won’t. As long as GREED, MONEY, WEALTH & POWER remain, Life as we know it will continue.
Russia is already having its own economic problems right now, its having trouble making money with oil and have had ot have a bailout of al those rich supporters that keep Putin propped up. They are not going to be able to come to the rescue of Iran. And China is not one to start a true Nuclear war, even though they are communist, like Russia during the cold war, they don’t welcome their own destruction like the jihadists.
The problem here is the extreme position is taken on every issue. Not even the democrats are stupid enough to let Iran get a bomb, if the intelligencer briefings are showing a bomb that close, I would put money on it that Obama will actually do something. You know, he has been hawkish, he is fine for doing stuff in Iran, then he gets lambasted because he wants to kill bin laden? Seriously. This is nuts.
