gatomontes99 Posted April 12 Report Posted April 12 (edited) Sounds like the US cleared the mines and now are letting through everyone that did not bribe Iran. I get it. I also get why they bribed Iran. Edited April 12 by gatomontes99 Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

I'm just not convinced Iran was at realistic threat to "The West". I would like to see "The West" stop bending the knee for Isreal. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Anything that threatens the petrol dollar is a threat to America and warrant overwhelming force. Edited April 12 by paxamericana Quote

Brics not so much, it’s a bunch of competing interest that won’t amount to any real threat. None of those countries posses the means or ability to enforce a currency of their own. It’s crypto that is a real threat. Hence US government crackdown on none sanctioned crypto. That being said, like Lybia , Venezuela Iraq and now Iran. Any threat to the petrol dollar will incur a regime change or national dissolution. That includes the Chinese who are target number one. Quote

Rollover, Petrodollar - good while it lasted but it is on the decline - make way for the Petro-yuan - forecast to become the new global reserve currency. Edited April 12 by John Stone Quote

That's possible. However, I think America would be wise at this time, to sew-up both Americas. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

The U.S. is without a doubt the strongest economy on earth .... for now......... but someone is nutz to buttz. The economy of the U.S. was built on global commerce, by extension freedom of the seas - global stability? How odd Trump doesn't seem to realize that? Quote

And I'm sorry if Europe is having their trade deals leveled out. But the US is tapped and cant carry them anymore. The American economy was built on manufacturing and innovation. Both of which they gave up. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Trump is killing the golden goose (tariffs) ............. the U.S. share of global commerce. The U.S. economy is based on consumerism (domestic purchasing) - not manufacturing - never to return - too expensive. Quote

Good question ........... as much as I respect Israel they are a regional power, no oil, cold war is over, no strategic value? The US is (was) a global power? Ukraine has far more to offer strategically than Israel. But that's Trump - not talking to, but listening to Bibi or Putin, or Xi. Edited April 12 by John Stone Quote

User Posted April 12 Report Posted April 12 6 minutes ago, Nationalist said: What strategic outcome is the USA trying to realize here? An Iran with no Nuclear weapons, no capability to make them, and no aspirations to do so either... as well as a severely weakened Iran that is much less of a threat looming over our Middle East allies, ourselves, and interests in that region, and Israel.
