    Yep, understand your hesitations about this. Nothing is certain.

    My prognosis is based on what will happen to the American neocon and neoliberal elite in a crashed dollar situation. Their day in the Sun will be over (and good bloody riddance too), as they have no interest in rebuilding America - they were only interested is hijacking America and using it for their own ends/wealth.

    Without reserve currency status and thus with inward dollar investment diminishing - probably extremely so (wealth always flees at the first sign of real danger) - then the spinning plates in the air trick will beginning crashing to Earth one after the other. The budget for the Pentagon will then follow that earth hugging reality and defence will become just that: defence. Not engaging in overseas wars.

    Never have so many gotten so much wrong with their gluttony of information.

    Okay, but my earlier posts weren't outlining solutions...

    You'll need to outline what you mean more precisely as it's a very broad concept as it presently stands?

    No, but they sent jihadists from Saudi Arabia. Anyway the Iranians are Shia not Sunnis so they're not jihadists. As for Afghanistan and other Central Asian nations, they were sent from Turkey, and the KSA was aligned with it at the time. They were also involved in the first false flag chemical attack with Turkey.

    This is not to excuse Washington's involvement.

    Now that just has to be an excellent kick-start.
    There’s the pity of it. The loud-mouth, “I’m alright, Jack” population (that accounts for an awfully large percentage the other side of the pond) will be begging us for guidance & hand-outs and we won’t be able to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. Perhaps it’s not too early to begin taking names right now? I’d hate to waste my sympathy on those but am always eager to lend a hand where it is appreciated.
    Sounds good to me. My paternal instincts notwithstanding, the reason we are all here on the forum is due to American military-political chicanery ABROAD. What they do at home doesn’t concern me nearly as much. Funny how a sharp eye at American treachery in the world is often spurned with “Mind your own business”. As though is not our business.

    No he wanted the jews dead and he actively participated in the ss recruitment campaign.
    Stop it with the whitewashing of the mufti's actions.

    Over the past 25 years they have tried to rewrite the mufti and make him the author of the final solution. He met with Hitler for 15 minutes and Hitler refused to shake his hand. The mufti arranged for thousands of Jews to be ransomed to Spain. The Zionists stopped that.

    He met with Himmler on a regular basis, and Himmler was the one executing the final solution. And his role has always been known. By the way, Spain under Franco was ultra catholic and quite anti-semitic. They returned fleeing jews and gypsies to France when caught.

    Nope, I'm quite confident in this.
    Your problem is that you were educated in arab countries at the height of their anti israel/anti-semitic period. Your point of view is tainted.

    I studied german, british, french, italian, dutch sources concerning WW2, you know, those who were actually taking part, collaborated with or suffered through it.

    Does your response have some relation to my quoted post? Or ya just dashing off on some irrelevant tangent to avoid the topic of discussion?

    Of course you did... I'm sorry to tell you, but you're not really all that credible, and as a rule I don't give much credence to people embelishing their credentials on an internet forum. Don't waste your time or mine telling me how superior you are or who you supposedly know, I frankly don't care.

    Nah, just commenting on that "in the real world" comment you made. I wanted to offer a bit more of "the real world" for perspective. 8)

    Ironically Venezuela will play an important role in America's decline...probably why they are so desperate for regime change. Once there's instability outside and within the US, dropping the US$ will be openly and more widely discussed.

    Honestly I can't tell you how I feel about that... they certainly deserve it, after the way the stole from South America to enrich themselves....but the toll...it's going to get ugly...

    Russia has a GDP that is roughly half the size of California. It is isn't even a tiger on paper. My perspective is that Saudi Arabia exerts far more influence on American politicians than Russia, and much more brazenly.

    I believe that elites have us where they want us, attacking each other and ignoring them. When I look at the legislation passed in my lifetime, it seems to invariably favor a tiny fraction of people on the very tippy top of American society. I see this trend from Nixon to Trump. There was a time in America when labor was a threat to capital and had a seat at the table. That time has passed. The middle class became a minority for the first time in my lifetime in 2014. Look for that trend to accelerate.

    I think that Russia and China will have to take a more assertive stance in the matter, though. Things are not looking very good for Venezuela at the moment.
    That has to be an understatement. Venezuela is definitely a thorn under America's foot. Let's hope the skin is punctured and the sore festers.

    I wake every morning in anticipation.

    Either take the step or remain to see more of the same U.S. treachery. The lie of WMD's, the false "proof" of them, the illegal invasion, the rape, torture, and murder of a million innocent men, women and children, the death squads, the execution of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden .... with neither an apology nor prison sentences for Bush Baby, Cheney, Rumsfeld, & co. proves without any doubt that the more they get away with the more they will take. But then we have Syria and Assad. Russia and Iran stepped in and put a stop to it! Venezuela needs that sort of assistance. Without it, Maduro will probably get the chop.
