My POV Part 2
Now, lets over simplify.... Ok; some more.War & Money:
We are stuck now, if we roll out, Iran (Russia, China which ever is the one pulling their strings, maybe both.) will roll in.
Plus we loose our economic edge with the oil. Yea the oil.
We have made an investment to keep this country rolling, God help us, we need the oil, I.E we need the stability in the region. Oil is becoming a scarce commodity.
Even though most of our oil, right now, is coming from Canada, and Central America, that can change within the next few years.
So Canada is stable, friendly, but Socialist, and Central America,...well, lets just say their as stable as a "crack head" with a gun in his pocket and no money.
Which leads me to my next point.
Venezuela, the main country we get our oil from in Central America, allied it's self with...guess who?
Iran!
Now we can't have Iran or any one else blackmailing us economically with oil.
Which is a tactic that the Russian's like to use, especially in the cold war, and recently in the Baltic state I'm sure will be hearing a lot about them in the news the more Russia put's the screws to them in the coming months and years, the Baltic's that is .
So "tactically" parking a major force at Iran's doorstep, was a very sound move militarily. Iraq, had already been softened up, piece of cake.
I only have one little problem with that; something called the Constitution.
I have no problem, with the intention's, it's just the people have elected representative's, and they should have been told straight what was going on.
Even if it's in closed session for national security. Now I could be being a bit naive, and maybe they were told.
If thats true, Mr. President, well... you got punked!
Plus, tactician will tell you don't engage in a prolonged "holding action".
So what do we do? Well, do we stay for the next 100 years? Which is stupid, because their is not 100 years of oil their, and regardless of what any politician tells us is what we have been set up for. at least for 15 to 20 years.
I'm sure it will turn into some low profile "cold war" or given our real opponents China, Russia , an all out military exchange when we get to the "end game" I.E. when the oil is almost gone.
Russian generals used to say at the hight of the cold war ,
" We can take over America without firing a shot". They were refereeing to cultural change in relation to economic pressures.
In other words if they mess with our economy enough, we will do what they want us to do.
You see this on a small scale every four year's during the presidential election.
One year, to eight months before the election a country like Iran, China, Russia, or maybe a billionaire, with way to much free time, puts the economy in a tailspin just long enough to get people pissed and the candidate "they" want elected. Hey, and it works too, think about it.
It becomes the Presidents fault. (LOL) Like he is the only politician in Washington.
Unfortunately we fall for it every four years whether its a Democrat or Republican in office.
That's right we as Americans have the attention span of a fourth grader.
So, it's more or less a safe bet that we are in a global fight as it were over resources.
Everyone is starting to fight over control of whats left.
