Why the US will invade Iran ..................(excellent read)

[cthrumatrix]

The world of energy has many faces in the past two years. As the Middle East and Caspian Region encounter growing US Military presence, alliances have formed and are solidifying along the periphery. The battle is for the untapped oil in the Caspian Region in the former Soviet Republic territories. The trends regarding the politics of energy have become intertwined with military weapon supply, military troop commitment, and nuclear technology. The danger comes from the nuclear component, since it can operate under the guise of peaceful electrical power generation. With only slight diversions from the centrifuge refinement process, and with mere rerouting of spent fuel processing, a nuclear weapons capability is born. Delivery becomes the key question, as in missiles. As a result of exerting its own dominance, the United States is working its way into a corner on the world arena, too large to control anymore. A formidable alliance has been in the formative stages among China, Iran, and Russia. It will change the world of commodity commerce. The Iranian oil bourse will directly challenge the Petro-Dollar system, as they will sell oil and natural gas in euro terms. Expect the USA to challenge and undermine their attempts.

threatens the $USD.


We attack Iran and we have China and Russia to deal with.

3. "undermine their attempts" aka: pre-emptive strike!

5. A few years ago, I would not have thought

that Bush et al could be so foolish as to do such thing and risk WWIII. It's still my gut instinct to say they will leave Iran alone because the consequences are almost unthinkable, but then I remember what they've done in Iraq. And I know they really don't care how reckless an act it would be to strike at Iran, they'll do it and risk a huge international mess that will dwarf Iraq.

6. china & russia have scheduled 1st ever...

7. Is it worth a world war we may lose being viewed as the aggressor?

I DON'T THINK SO.

8. Great essay!

Here's the part that spoke volumes:

"The Shanghai Coop Group is gradually taking shape, in substance but not name. That might be their intention, to lie low, get it done, and sneak up on a superpower whose population is fat, slow, poorly read, indulgent, sleepy, distracted, and increasingly compromised. A sense of entitlement is pervasive and disturbing." That pretty much sums up the American populace in a nutshell. We are so done...
