Dollar Dropping

[Disgruntled Patriot]

Paramount, well reasoned and well stated.

Socrattt, it’s not the actual employment of power, but the ability to employ power that I suggest has some influence on the status of a currency as the world’s reserve or standard. Obviously industrial capacity and productivity are paramount. You know our friends in China and the Middle East are just itching to drop the dollar. Might makes right (military or otherwise), even to validate a bankrupt federal reserve promissory.

We will use 2,500 of those pointy tipped packages on the middle east and another 2,500 in Russia and then we will have 200 million soldiers from China marching all over us. So essentially at some point we will lose. The next question you have to ask yourself is when.

You can’t transport 200 million soldiers from China across the Pacific to the US. The US’s geography will prevent invasion by all countries save one (that’s already going on — and it’s not such a bad thing actually…)

If you’re looking for a model of the collapse of US power, the Soviet Union in the 90s is a pretty good one. Another one would be the British Empire at the end of the 19th century.

Our friends in the mideast might convince us to join a new war with Iran but that will only hasten the collapse.

I was just kidding!! Just thought I would make a bit of humor on a Friday night! As Bernanke has often stated we are very likely on the road to recovery. He did forget to check the stats that 42 state’s unemployment are still rising and CA is now at 12.2% if I am not mistaken. The road to recovery must be a narrow path because I sure can’t see it!

“Might makes right (military or otherwise), even to validate a bankrupt federal reserve promissory.”

You’re basically suggesting that the US sell ‘insurance’ to our foreign creditors to ensure they don’t get smoked in a nuclear holocaust?

“OK, China, keep buying our bonds or kiss Shanghai goodbye”

Isn’t that like the mafia and other gangs who sell ‘fire insurance’ to local business keepers?

How long do you think that would last?

Is that your idea of a sustainable future?

Ever studied the history of empires on this planet? (notice that it is history because all empires eventually collapse)

Are you aware of how dependent the US has become on imports to maintain the current standard of living?

Not only would we have to threaten the countries that support us financially, we would have to threaten all of the countries we import real goods from – essentially a ‘US against the world’ scenario – ever studied the history of empires on this planet?

Did you notice this week that China is banning the export of rare earth metals? Realize that they have 90% of the currently known deposits of these metals? Any idea of how these metals support your current lifestyle?

Are you gonna nuke China because they won’t export something you are dependent on? Invade them and take it?

Are you really just a one-trick-pony?

“I’ve got 5000 nukes so f*ck the rest of the world!”

Basically, a “my dick is bigger than your dick” approach to world diplomacy

Works great until Lorena Bobbit comes along!
