I like that. I often look to humor to tell the truth in the easiest light. It's the attitude that can go all the way into the dark without sinking in the black quicksand.

In the end the USA will keep supporting Saudi Arabia at least until they run out of oil and Iran is taken out. This aligns with Israel's wishes as well. Everything else is secondary except taking out Assad.

Of course then there is Africa.

Does it ever stop?

The enemy of my enemy is ... not necessarily ... my friend.

Business and Politics make strange bedfellows.

I don't think anyone doubts any more that Bankers and Businesses own the politicians.

The enemy of my enemy is STILL my enemy as far as I have learned.

As a politician usually says,,,,, 'Before I reply to that allow me to say'..............

Nice one,

Poor North Korea. They want so badly to be a part of the party.
Too bad they are just the ugly kid with nothing to give.

Is this going to be on the final? Can we use a cheat sheet?

Me as well.

But once it sticks...

Yep, as clear as a mud puddle. Makes perfect sense.

Glad to know that things are that simple over there. Makes me sleep better at night.

try again. The Western Empire is in the Middle East for 3 things, are you ready?

Oil
Strategic Military Positioning
The hunt for ancient technology

Seriously i think this is truly the only answer to the Middle East other than true Wrath of God all out war with them.

Resources, power and control, same as always.

Yep. The religious angle is just a facade to keep the peasants supportive.

If they came out and said "all wars are just about keeping the folks at the top rich and powerful" they wouldn't have anyone to fight for them. Gotta make it about god and country or "liberating" oppressed people.

What is so sad, is it actually made sense.

Thanks for posting

HA! Pretty much, but in reality that may be a bit less complicated especially when looked at from a perspective of individuals or groups and there agenda, purposes and jobs. In real life it may be a bit more like that cash for gold episode of south park, it all just goes in circles back in itself. However getting rid of war or the warmachine is likely not a good thing in the long run, but it can be run better then it is now, with a lot less casualties.

I liked that little blurb so much, I decided to do a read of it, just for fun.
