He neglects to mention the upending of the balance of power that occurred with the installation of the hapless "friendly" Government. Iran is strategically empowered and, aside from an increasingly less effective sanctions regime, more influential than ever. I guess selling oil for "the barbarous relic" is preferable to Euros on the world market. Economic freedom will never be accomplished within the Fed framework, and I will argue that financial repression is a feature, not a bug of this system.

This nation has been les by a suicide cult for the past 50 years that acts, with the exception of the Reagan years, on the basis of globalism rather than national self interest.<br /><br />Its not hard to predict the results of this. We are seeing it in the rearming of nations globally, and the disarmament of nations who will be the sheep to slaughter. Ever look at the militaries of Europe? Wonder how they will fare against an aggressive Russia? Or what the ROK, Taiwan and Japan will do against an aggressive PRC.<br /><br />War is coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-39063746849940952932014-01-19T21:37:03.416-05:002014-01-19T21:37:03.416-05:00Sorry kiddies, 3 more years to go and it's gon...Sorry kiddies, 3 more years to go and it's gonna do nothing but get worse <br />MMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
