In neocon land Russia is "the big bear enemy", but in the American business and financial world, Russia is a business partner. "

Neocons used to have us quaking in our boots about Iran.

Iran is most definitely a threat. Islamonazis with nuclear weapons doesn’t strike me as a swell idea. So yes, Iran is a massive threat to the US and our allies.

However....

I don’t think the Ukraine’s problems are our problems. They are not an ally. We have enough problems, like an out of control federal government that is spying on us, defenseless borders, a military being hollowed out, and before anyone forgets, there’s also the little problem with 90 trillion in unpaid liabilities....

:) it should "ring a bell" that...

the only countries where the American foreign policy "experts" push for "regime change" are those that are outside of Western central banking.

Once a country "lets in" Western globalism/free trade/central banking, and allows a Western-educated leader to run the nation, and another one to run its new central bank, suddenly that nations disappears out of the news, it is no longer an issue. The foreign policy "experts" then move on, they are no longer concerned with "regime change" in that nation. Could be riots, famine, terrorists running rampant, pillaging the countryside, whatever. It's just "disturbances" at that point.

What I find amazing is that no one talks about Afghan opium production any more. It's like it doesn't exist in the news. But if you read the reports and data, opium continues to be grown there, with the US military right there. Somehow the Taliban had shut down production just before we got there. There's a rumor that it was just to cause shortages and drive up prices. Suddenly the US military shows up and the poppy fields started blooming at that point. Apparently all the kings horses and men just can not stop that opium production. Weird.

Who's talking about the "poor Libyans" ? The "poor Egyptians" ? Let alone the Tunisians, they were only in the news for like a week. Nothing being said, the banking problems are all taken care of, Western business is moving in setting up shop. The Libyan and Egyptian people apparently have "arrived at the leader they want". No more revolutions. THIS is what they protested to be awarded with. Sooooooo different than what it used to be for the "little people" /sarc.
