Likely not much. Iran wants the bomb so they will be mostly untouchable from our intervention. And we will politely ask the Sauds if we can install some missile silos on the Kingdom after that happens. The fundamentalists over there will be thrilled with that, given how they feel about US boots...
Obama: "I will not be running for office again."
Republican side: Thunderous applause
Obama: "Because I won both times." Grins, winks at the camera. Pauses. Laughs at his own joke.
Its like we're watching a TV sitcom. It'd be funny if it werent so damn depressing.
I saw it on at a bar the other day. Basically a sports bar, which I found odd. It was like 5pm and they switched it to ESPN after about an hour though.
I've heard the term "infotainment." Anchorman 2 attacks this actually. They talk about giving people the news they want to hear as opposed to the news they need to hear.
They're just so dependent on oil sales, that when they are selling such a high percentage of their goods at a loss, that your currency will take a hit. Kinda like a household losing money every month. Banks will get nervous when more money goes out than in. And its fear based. The population has...

Its not. But it could be. Americans have become targets of the war on terror, and the way that our govt defines terrorism, I'd be nervous about it. They make mistakes.
This isnt even helping anyone. Its a pretty weak argument that we get any good quality intel from torture, so morality aside...
OPEC always drops their production when prices get too low. Thats why we havent seen cheap gas for decades. And it doesnt matter whether we use OPEC oil, or US found oil. Its a global market. Oil is oil. No matter where you use it, all oil affects the price globally. OPEC has no problem in...
It certainly is a war. Like you said, an economic war or a cold war. Saw a wire earlier today saying that the US plans a Nuclear Missile Station in Europe in response to Russian aggressions. Its interesting to watch.
Plus, you know that the US and OPEC are behind the collapse of oil. They did...
WWI started due to a lot of secret alliances and an assassination of an Arch Duke.
WWII started due to a lot of grievances over the last war, and a couple of power hungry leaders.
WWIII started due to a Seth Rogen movie.......
