In yesterday's world, the greatest defense America had was the two (2) oceans that kept other powers at bay. That is no more - China's nuclear missile can hit the U.S. from every directing including from the South Pole. The U.S. has no "Iron Dome and from what is said of their missiles intercept is more of a challenge that ever before. So, as these missiles become more common place (seems everyone wants a nuclear weapon these days), U.S. military power will continue to pale and loses its "all mighty" status. And, worst, the U.S. dollar will lose it status. So how do us peons prepared?
I have given some thought to this fiasco and there's a few potential scenarios that kinda explain it.
1/ The US wants to starve China of oil. (Cut off supplies from Venezuela and Iran)
2/ The US also wants to kneecap Europe and the Euro as competitors with the dollar
3/ The US wants to maintain strategic dominance by weakening the rest of the planet.
4/ All of the above
5/ The US is currently run by a system that is psychopathic, entitled and narcissistic in nature and doesn't really give a s**t about the rest of the world or even it's own people because the guy who dies with the most toys wins.
The "Unforeseen" or more likely not considered consequences of this thing is that millions of people can't afford to put gas in their car to go to work. Additionally their food costs have gone up by about 20% so far and headed higher.
That's assuming that the trucks that deliver the food can afford the diesel and that they can actually get diesel.
All of which is predicated on farmers being able to access diesel for their tractors to spread the fertiliser to grow their crops. (If they can get it and can afford it..)
In my opinion this whole thing is the most imbecilic and cretinous act ever carried out by the US and there's a long long list of those things.
Trump needs to go.
Make America Great Again. I miss that shining city on the hill, by golly!
If governments ever acted intelligent, we'd be in real trouble.
Fair point. Their incompetence is often our ally.
