Congress nor the President can stop the war in Syria. Your asking the impossible.
I absolutely agree - so let's just stay out of it!
Remember this?
I have been taking a long hard look at the international events that are going on, watching the value of the dollar and the posturing of China and a few other countries and wondering how this is all connected or if it is just coincidence. Here is what I find interesting and possibly dangerous:
1. The USA is actively destabilizing the middle East.
2. The countries that we are working over are the same ones that are aligning with Russia and China to use other currency than the dollar for international trades.
3. The former USSR (I will use "Russia" in this discussion although that is not as accurate) is partnering with those countries for oil sales not based on the dollar. In effect supporting the discontinued use of the dollar as the world currency that it has been since the end of WWII.
4. We are more confrontational with North Korea than we have been since the treaty was signed after the Korean conflict.
5. China is backing away from Korea but still doing business with them in the Chinese currency - no dollars involved.
6. Russia is building underground manufacturing plants.
7. China is building a Pacific naval fleet.
8. The US federal government is restricting our constitutionally protected rights.
9. The president is posturing to sign the UN small arms treaty at the close of this congressional session.
10. The congress is sure to block the UN small arms treaty on constitutional grounds.
11. The US is continuing its nuclear reduction but China and Russia are not.
12. The US is not acting on evidence of cyber attacks or standing up for itself in any way to the other two powers - we are presenting ourselves as weak.
13. The US is printing money to pay debts - devaluing the dollar.
If I was a conspiracy nut I would try to connect the dots like so:
Russia and China are forming a partnership to out-flank the US economically and militarily.
China is building a Pacific navy and Russia is preparing their manufacturing facilities to make them hardened against attack or retaliation.
If the United Arab Republics gang up on Israel the US may (probably will) join in the battle or at least lend aid to Israel.
The Chinese and Russian governments can legally claim the USA is "bullying" in the Middle East again and launch a retalitory nuclear attack against the bully (the USA) to stop "American agression".
The israelis will use nukes to stop the agression against them wiping out most of the United Arab Republic.
The feds will claim that we were caught off guard and did not have time to retaliate before our bases were hit and disabled. (fake)
This opens the door to get the UN involved as "our savior" so that the small arms treaty is put in place. This will effectively dis-arm the American public.
The UN, England, France, Germany and our other allies will join forces under the auspices of the UN to stop the Aggression of Russia and China but China will switch sides and join the NATO forces to remove the Russian threat.
That will disable Russia as a world power. With the US already hit and crippled China becomes the only super power left.
We are all under the advisement of The UN and NATO and we have adopted the UN rights charter - losing most of our rights. We have been disarmed in the name of "national security" and the "new world order" begins.
What comes next is just a guess (as is all the rest) but since the nuclear might of the US was never really damaged and most of our modern war planes were out at sea and in foreign countries it takes just a month to get back to the readiness state instead of the years that China was planning. We are in a position to surprise the Chinese when they try to invade. We will deal a heavy blow to the Chinese mainland with a high altitude nuclear EMP attack and destroy their pacific fleet with a sneak air attack with our stealth fleet of aircraft. The destruction of the industrial centers and seaports will be akcomplished with a few well placed nuclear devices. That leaves the US as the only global power, under the control of the UN, as the NATO world police force. Welcome to the fulfillment of the "new world order".
This is conjecture but it would do two things for the US and the world banking system. It would remove the national debt without anyone having to take responsibility for it - it might well collapse the economy of the US but the Fed can claim "it's not our fault".
It also brings socialism within reach of the US government so they actually will control the most powerful country in the world. Sweeping laws will put the feds in control of food production - and consumption, fuel production and consumption and virtually every facet of our lives.
The final blow to the constitution will be made in the emotions of a country that was bombed in a surprise attack and "unable" to strike back without the aid of the NATO forces and their "aportioned rights". Most of the country is stupid or ignorant enough to fall for it. Those small pockets of free thinkers won't be able to hold out against a military out of control so the United States will simply fade away into history or, and more likely history will be re-written to show that this is the way that the US has always been. "Long live the United Socialist Americas".
The news today reports that China is sending at least one cruiser into the Mediterranean and Russia has five more on the way.
But - there is no way that this could escalate.... naw.
