Yep...right..it
s always been about economics, land and resources.......but I think it’s far ‘more sinister’ now.... I say this because we once knew and identified the enemy for what it is. Not so today....We make enemies of those who are not, and allow those who are our enemies free handedness...and worse yet we have leadership that has completely lost it’s bearings for this country, perhaps better said simply handed them over.
When I think of things being handed over, where there should have been a fight to win. I think of McCain handing Obama an election he never had intentions of winning. I detest him more than any other...and those who orchestrated this whole mess we now face.
Yes, am aware of Japans need for oil then.....you could easily see the oil tanks standing tall after all the bombing of Pearl.
My greatest concern with Russia is the International Leaders are really pushing too hard......forcing the confrontations. There’s now oil being found off Israels coast.....I can see Putin going after that one day if he’s pushed hard and long enough....and he’d have the Muslims right along side him to help....with China bringing up the rear at some point.
IMO I don’t think the EU/Us have a clue what they are doing to the balance of powers....but it’s clear it doesn’t matter how much death occurs to achieve what they ultimately desire, though they sing a song of sorrow for and then point the finger elsewhere.
I’m so grateful my sons served their time and then some in our military. Today I would not be supportive of them going into the military to fight what their hands would be tied from fighting. Sick about what we have done to our soldiers.
Some points you make are good, but not that one. Given proximity, Israel could put 10 Black Sea fleets on the bottom, and smash that Russki base in Syria too, just as a warm-up exercise. Russia is far better off developing their new finds.* China is much better off pushing about weak countries around the Spratly Islands. Saudi needs Israel as a counter to Iran, esp. given US weakness: The Muzzies would split.
