Please explain how the Iran War, the War on cheap energy, "benefits" America

[Frankeneinstein]

Trump’s energy crisis is all part of the plan!

so?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How would I know?

Explain how high gas prices are worse than a major cities being obliterated, Short Bus.

What “major cities” were targeted for “obliteration”? Gaza? Beirut? Tehran?

And do you mean as “obliterated” as Trump swore he “obliterated” Irans nuclear program?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

China is our only supplier of many of the exotic rare earth elements that are responsible for much of our technology.

We are closing the gap in rare earth

Which is something we should have done long ago

Amen to that

 

[Mac-7]

Amen to that

In fact, lets find the politicians who are responsible gor giving the chicoms a monopoly for rare earths and run them out of washington on a rail after tar and feathering them

 

[j-mac]

The war does not benefit America. Trump was played by Israel.

Trump is doing the entire world a service....

 

[Zincwarrior]

It benefits Saufi Arabia, Netanyahoo and Putin

 

[Nostra]

What “major cities” were targeted for “obliteration”? Gaza? Beirut? Tehran?

And do you mean as “obliterated” as Trump swore he “obliterated” Irans nuclear program?

Still no answer.

Run along, Sonny.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Thank you for the oft repeated “short term pain for long term gain” talking point

TRANSLATION: "RIGHT ANSWER, Try again"

Some of the strangest talking points regarding the War on Iran is that it's good for America because it badly damages Chinese economy.

Trump is playing 6D chess while the rest of us mere mortals don't understand the larger consequences of damaging the economy of our third largest trading partner. Mexico is the largest due mostly to the drug trade.

China is our only supplier of many of the exotic rare earth elements that are responsible for much of our technology.

I'm at a loss

Please explain why higher energy prices are a "good thing"

I could be wrong....
I often am....
but because China was using Iran and all of the terrorist groups that Iran was financing to carry on the policy that was initiated publicly, in writing, by President Yury Andropov in 1972, I believe that the War against America and against Israel has taken a huge hit now that Iran's military has pretty much been put back into the Stone Age?

In a August 24, 2006 article entitled, "Russian Footprints", Ion Mihai Pacepa writes:

By the end of the 1960s, the KGB was deeply involved in mass terrorism against Jews, carried out by various Palestinian client organizations. Here are some terrorist actions for which the KGB took credit while I was still in Romania: November 1969, armed attack on the El Al office in Athens, leaving 1 dead and 14 wounded; May 30, 1972, Ben Gurion Airport attack, leaving 22 dead and 76 wounded; December 1974, Tel Aviv movie theater bomb, leaving 2 dead and 66 wounded; March 1975, attack on a Tel Aviv hotel, leaving 25 dead and 6 wounded; May 1975, Jerusalem bomb, leaving 1 dead and 3 wounded; July 4, 1975, bomb in Zion Square, Jerusalem, leaving 15 dead and 62 wounded; April 1978, Brussels airport attack, leaving 12 wounded; May 1978, attack on an El Al plane in Paris, leaving 12 wounded. ... In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me, a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter, the United States. No one within the American/Zionist sphere of influence should any longer feel safe.

• 1970 - Yasser Arafat, the father of modern terrorism:
  
  
  In 1970 the Kremlin became interested in an obscure Arab construction engineer and collector of racecars, named Rahman al-Qudwa. Evidence shows, contrary to later claims, that this "construction engineer" was an Egyptian, born in Cairo during the summer of 1929. Rahman graduated from the University of Cairo and served as an officer in the Egyptian Army during the 1956 Suez campaign. Later he set up a business in Kuwait and made a fortune. He then entered politics, founding a hopelessly small terrorist organization.... According to the former head of Romanian intelligence, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, one of the highest ranking communist defectors of all time, Rahman al-Qudwa became an important political ally of the communist bloc following the death of Egypt's president, Gamal Abdul Nasser, in 1970. Gen. Pacepa's account of Rahman's intimate relations with the communist bloc is related in a book entitled "Red Horizons."... Rahman al-Qudwa is better known as Yasser Arafat, the chairman of the PLO since 1968 and the president of the Palestinian Authority -- which is now at war with Israel. According to Gen. Pacepa's account, communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu ordered his people to bring Arafat over to Romania. In late 1970 the chief of Romanian intelligence in Egypt, Gen. Constantine Munteanu, arrived in Bucharest with Arafat in tow. Munteanu had gathered an extensive file on Arafat, which characterized the PLO leader as "so much cleverness, blood, and filth all together in one man." Pacepa says that this was Munteanu's "standard definition of Arafat."
  Given Gen. Munteanu's extensive file, Arafat could not exactly refuse the communist's "friendly" overtures. There is little question that Arafat is fanatically devoted to destroying Israel, and would sell his soul to the devil to gain his devilish ends. Therefore, a compact between Arafat and the Soviet Union via communist Romania was not something that violated any sacred Islamic rule in Arafat's heart. Arafat is no Moslem. His fanaticism is completely secular. But since he operates within the Islamic world, he must sometimes appear as a would-be Muslim liberator. (“Kremlin puppets and how they work,” J.R. Nyquist, October 19, 2000) (read also Our Lady of the Roses prophecy about one who would come out of Egypt...)
• 1972 - According to Ion Mihai Pacepa, “In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov … [said], a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon … against Israel and its main supporter, the United States.”
• 1973 - Soviet statements and preparations for an attack against Israel led the Pentagon to order U.S. nuclear forces to the highest state of peacetime readiness. The Joint Chiefs of Staff ordered the 82nd Airborne Division to prepare to head to the Middle East, and additional U.S. naval forces -- including American aircraft carriers -- moved into the Mediterranean, all out of a real and rising concern that the Soviets were about to make an unprecedented military move against Israel.
• 1982 - Israeli forces battling PLO terrorists in southern Lebanon unexpectedly uncovered a secret but massive cache of Soviet weaponry in deep underground cellars and tunnels. The storehouses contained some 4,000 tons of ammunition, 144 armored vehicles and tanks, 12,500 pieces of small arms, and 515 heavy weapons. Then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin said that the Russians had prepositioned enough weapons to "equip not five brigades, but five or six [Soviet] divisions," adding that "we shall need literally thousands of trucks to evacuate these weapons from Lebanon."

Unconverted Russia and its influence on the Mideast

Osama bin Laden's deputy issued a worldwide call today for Muslims to rise up in holy war against Israel and join the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza, until Islam reigns from "Spain to Iraq". Ayman al-Zawahiri warned that al-Qaida would not stand "idly by, humiliated", as Israeli "shells burn our...

Next... the USA will be selling their own oil and natural gas to USA consumers. I suspect that better relations between the USA with the Canadian province of Alberta will also lead to a boom in the economy of Alberta. Pipelines from Alberta into the USA are almost inevitable now, partly due to the intelligence of Alberta's Premier to at least show the respect to visit the Trump administration at important times to do so.

Premier Smith took a lot of hassle from less than bright Canadians in her own province who actually take CBC propaganda from the Liberal Party seriously.

Higher now, much lower in the future when Iran is no longer able to buy terrorist attacks all over the world.

Think of it this way. You have a cancer in your body. It's trying to spread cancer throughout the rest of your body.

Does it make more sense to fight each individual cancer battle, over, and over, and over again....or go for the source and eliminate the cancer causing the problem?
