RE:RE:Who are we to tell isreal..For how much longer can the US afford to try to keep the peace on this planet? Two major maritime choke points in the midEast Suez Canal and Straits of Hormuz. The US is already running $1.5 trillion per year deficits, with the Fed monetizing treasuries in ordee to cover the deficit.
At some point the US is gonna say that they've had enough.. The US builds Fortress America, locks down the borders and lets the restvof the world kill each other if that's what they want so bafly. Well maybe Fortress North America - Canada, US, Mexico. Less than 500 milliin people on a huge, resource rich continent who pretty much get along just fine. The other 8.5 billiiin people can go blow each other up.
