Might be looked at as a good opportunity to demonstrate military effectiveness under these conditions just to show adversaries you are still operationally effective militarily.... don't be surprised if an incident occurs over there...
War drums? Iran responds to Trump warning about U.S. Navy vessels in Persian Gulf, promises retaliation. https://t.co/yIrDlZ3VKy— John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) April 23, 2020
Iran can probably sink a couple of US aircraft carriers. The USA is a nation of war criminals funded by fiat funny money. God and history will remember.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing "funny" about fiat, Bob. Or do you not believe "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's ..." (Matthew 22:21)?
ReplyDeleteWhat's "funny" is not that fiat is inexpensive but that:
1) Fiat is created for private interests such as the banks and asset owners and not for the general welfare only.
2) Only private depositories may use fiat in account form.
Not only is fiat money far from "funny", all money (proper) functions as an account of credit and debt. It cannot be any other way. If something is exchanged not as a payment of credit or redemption of debt, then it is going to be a commodity, not a money-thing. The value of that commodity will be a mix of intrinsic social value or whatever someone is willing to give you for it. The war criminal nature of the USA is not a function of their money system, it is a function of how indebted the USA has been able to make the rest of the world. This was achieved not via any particular monetary system, but by the political economics of superimperialism (read Michael Hudson).

ReplyDeleteThat would be a big escalation Bob...
