Not so sure I can agree with your assesssment. Less than two weeks ago over 350 Muslim Leaders and Clerics, along with “special” guests, met to further their agenda for uniting all Muslim nations into one block....which includes a united effort between Shia and Sunni regardless of their differences....with the ultimate target of bringing Saudi Arabia on board by what ever means is necessary.
Europe has no oil and are completley dependant on ME and Russia oil...along with that of N.Africa. The pipeline between Europe and Russia certainly would give Russia the upper hand to threaten a shutdown were international events esculate....but Russia and Iran have their sites on SAudi Oil, always have...Syria and China fits in that..China will not implode as many think possible...though there may be some rough spots. They are already purchasing lands with resources in other countries to insure this won’t happen.
As for our forces, we can only attempt a gradual withdrawal from the East...unless there is another front to send them to. Bringing them home at once will mean all these soldiers out of work..and the result of that on our monetary system let alone the civil unrest possible would further position us to fall faster and harder than we are currently.
Obviously we must agree to disagree. But since America lacks the will to enact my vision, we’ll never know who is right.
America’s best day are past us.
-Europe has no oil -
Incorrect, Scotland and Norway share a huge field.
Europe does have oil, with Norway and the UK sharing it in western Europe. Romania also has oil in eastern Europe. Then you can consider the coal-oil conversion using Fischer Tropf process. Azerbajian and Ukraine also have oil fields
