US to invade UK sometime in the future if they take up democracy?

or perhaps Brussels will simply appoint a PM who does what GS tells him.

A bit of double-think in here

BTW the title and suggestion is intended to be humorous and not an anticipated action in reality. If Greece couldn't leave when there was half a chance, what hope do the Brits have.

 

I wonder if future generations will look back and wonder at how the US got away with being such an arrogant ass about world affairs.

Of course that is unless they ruin future generations.

 

you always find some really good articles Julie; thanks much appreciated

 

Reading between the lines, it smells like the start of another fiat currency to me !

Why not hey, or perhaps a Gold backed one ?

 

A look back through faded empires of history will show the current trend of the US is not a new concept.

I think future generations will more likely take it in their stride and view the US dominance today as merely another example of how empires are built, mature and then fade away.



Besides, the US are not interested in the UK - they're after Iran and more specifically, the oil deposits of the middle east.

 

The US is the only country to have used nuclear weapons against another nation and have one of the largest, if not the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.

Any questions?

 

The Amero would have been just as big a disaster at the Euro. It simply can't work. The Euro experiment proves this. You can't have separate fiscal policies under the same currency unless there is strict provisions that force governments to live within their means.

 

The UK never adopted the Euro as a currency, that should have been a warning sign for the rest of Europe that our heart wasn't really in it.

Yes by why have American soldiers being killed to get to the oil ? That is bad for votes! Better to have a peace keeping force of British Soldiers, share the damages and I am sure the British Government will get a cut.

 

Disagree.

US Soldiers typically come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and by US governmental standards are quite expendable.

What's more, the US citizens have been brainwashed through successful propaganda why these soldiers are out in the field

'Humanitarian missions' & 'Peacekeeping missions' or 'weapons of mass destruction threats' ring a bell?

The US and many other citizens around the world have been sold a complete lie and they've been buying (and still do).

They're not upset at the deaths of the soldiers for oil because they believe the soldiers are making the 'sacrifice for the greater good' & the security of their fellow citizens.

It's one big steaming pile of red, white and blue bullshit that's fed to the masses to stop them revolting against the real truth.


Besides, that's just a question of civil unrest. Look at how the political structure of western nations is configured and controlled... does 'votes' even matter anymore?

 

Pretty bizarre from a country that never ratified the Kyoto protocol.

 

Having worked closely with the American military for several years, I can second this. While there are certainly many that come from immigrant back grounds and are serving for citizenship, the majority are middle class.

A lot of books are written by soldiers from poorer backgrounds in the US military, probably because they haven't taken the time to develop any skills in the military that are transferrable outside - they entered poor and will stay poor. And those are the ones made into movies.

Eg. Jarhead by Anthony Swofford, Gulf War experience. A story of an underachiever with a poor attitude with few other skills making some cash on a book before he goes on to work as a bank teller. Then there is One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer by Nathaniel Fick. Fick was in the same unit and had the same experiences and left the Marines ready for a new life in business and the upper middle class. No movie will be made about One Bullet Away. But it was Jarhead that had a movie made of it and went on to shape the popular culture image of soldiers.

Robert Kiyosaki served in Vietnam in the Air Force. Look at him now.

And the fallacy that wars are about oil. If that was so important to America, why were American oil producers not winning oil contracts in liberated Iraq until at least 2005 or 2006, yet the French, Dutch, Russians and Chinese were all taking their piece of the new Iraqi oil economy as soon as Saddam fell from office.

 

US Gov doesn't care, they will replace most of the army with drones soon anyway.Those guys are expendable to the top brass.

 

Middle class US citizens?

Yes, like I said - low socioeconomic backgrounds.

 

So of low = middle does middle = upper?

Does not southercross' evidence of the stats amount to enough to make you change your mind?

 

& upper = landlord scum :lol:

 

Reno wtf. Stop baiting him.

You're like a child.

 

mind your own business .Are you his mother ?
