WWIII in Libya AND Syria in Days? Report.

reply to post by bftroop


Well put, bftroop. Star for you. The bravest of us will believe it. The rest will believe it when it hits them in the face, which it shall soon.

The country is broke, folks! The so-called PTB got bailed out by us all, too, & this country is still no better off than it was since '08. There's no such thing as a job in too many places now if you don't already have one. If this many of us are out of work & not paying taxes & interest- heck, a lot of us can't even afford rent- how well can this place recover? IT CAN'T.

All wars are fought for many things, but the bottom line is that every one of them is fought for money- $$$- or some sort of gain. If the PTB aren't getting enough money from us in the US, believe me they have no intention of taking that lying down. They're already at war to get what they want, & apparently it isn't enough. They'll start a World War again to get it.

Check out your local draft board. There isn't a draft now, but all of those boards are still in existence & can be up & running in a heartbeat. These days with all the electronic info available, it will take no time at all to find anyone they want. There is a reason there is a Depression (I refuse to call it anything else- it's been 3 years now, for Heaven's sake). All of these young people, out of work, especially out of college & out of work, with student loans to pay, & no prospect for a job. Some even have families. Who's your daddy? The armed forces, that's who. They always need a "few good men"- & women, too.

Wars may have helped certain economies for a while in the past, but they lay others waste in the process- & this country has a history of making a fortune off of rebuilding such economies. Google up the Marshall Plan. This plan made this country's way for a long while out of WWII with the rebuilding of Europe, & the PTB will do it again with a WWIII.

What do we get out of it, folks? If we survive to the point of a war being over? A half-way decent job, maybe, with perhaps a chance to afford a house, & kids?

I don't know about you, but somehow I just don't think that's enough. -CincyFreedom

Good point, and remember that Qaddafi was planning to create a new gold currency which would be used to buy oil. Shortly after, TPTB started this new conflict.

China owns us. If they decide to destroy the dollar, they can. If that happens -- guess we will need to have direct access to the oil, since we won't be able to afford it. Reason for all of this methinks?

Eureka! I think you hit the nail on the head!

It makes perfect sense! If the US suspected that very soon their economic system would be collapsing, they would be driving to make themselves self-sufficient. Two areas in which the USA lacks are oil reserves and rare earths. Middle East = oil, Afghanistan = rare earth.

Shore those up and the collapse would be easier to ride out. As their money would become worthless on the international stage, trading on the world market would not be an option, and needed resources to be imported would become prohibitively expensive.

I can agree with that, too. However, though, if we absolutely need oil, why not look to our friendly neighbors up north instead of going to war? I mean, come on, Alberta and Sasketchewan are FULL of tar sands. Unfortunately, though, I think we all know why not: greedy oil barons, and their friends in the U.S. gov't + military.

Ummm NEGATIVE. You do know that the US sits on top of some of the largest oil reserves on the planet dont you? The United States has an oil reserve at least three times that of Saudi Arabia locked in oil-shale deposits beneath federal land in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. So why isnt the US tapping into it? Because it would be better to drain the rest of the world of its oil resources FIRST and then when that is tapped out the US has its own to use/sell. This is part of a MUCH larger plan.
