Worst case scenario, foreign policy/conquest - wise?

[Skip Intro]

If they do it, go after condi's "outposts" (holy s**t, she used some of her confirmation time to sell more war, didn't she?), If we bomb/invade Iran, and then Syria, or vice versa, what will happen in those nations, synergistically with what is/will be happening in Iraq? What will happen to our guys stranded there with more impossible missions?

Any doubt there are plans to invade Venezuela being passed around in some dark office?

What will happen with other countries? Will they go further than just "not joining" us in the tyranny? Will they have contingencies to pre-emptively attack us? China? Russia? Even the EU countries? They're not going to just stand by and watch us take over the word, are they?

What would the UK do?

Are alliances being formed in defense from us? In offense of us?

The principle of pre-emption is now clearly established.

Could we win a war if attacked now? Without going nuclear?

Would the rw sheep in this nation start to give a damn?

Maybe this is too far fetched?

Sorry if a dupe.

1. The worst case scenario is the world united against an

imperial power headed by a madman, something they've done quite a few times before.

The US will not be on the winning side this time. We are a debtor nation. We have exported much of our industrial infrasctructure and melted the machinery down as scrap. We no longer make cloth. We no longer make shoes. We no longer make the electronics our military is utterly dependent upon. We don't even make enough ammunition to supply our troops in Iraq.

I'm sincerely hoping the world decides to take an economic tack instead of a military one, with sanctions instead of bombs. Many of us can survive the former; few of us will survive the latter.

That's the worst case scenario.

3. Cuba& Iran step up bilateral cooperation after US' Rice's 'tyranny' speech

I completely forgot about Cuba.

Sheesh.

If it involves the current powers in this country, it'll be military.

2. My scenario:

US invades Iran, probably with the help of Israel.
China, an ally of Iran, stops shipping products to the US for a limited time (they realize that this will win them points with the rest of the world).
N. Korea, realizing they could be next, launches a pre-emptive strike on the West Coast.

Bush retaliates by nuking N. Korea, and maybe part of China.

Russia retaliates.

The world is destroyed.

4. Well, Blair and Bush have spent the UK goodwill over WW2. It's gone.

Britain only just stomached Iraq, and won't take Iran. We won't be in. We'd impeach Blair first.

Sad but true. We Atlanticists are a scattered, confused and dying breed; my leftist friends are happy to say they "hate America". They burn the stars and stripes at protests. And I think they do hate America. Bush has killed Atlanticism, the Atlantic Alliance, stone cold dead.

Even my own father is persecuted.

In four years, Bush has turned British public opinion from almost unconditional love for America into deep suspicion of America. I hate him for that. But not as much as I hate the Quisling Blair, as I wrote today in my blog:

Bush set out to fuck the world, and Blair bent over. I can't forgive either party.
