Iran's inflation rate is up from 20% in 2011 finishing off the yr near 28% with prices doubling every 40 days, question is at what cost will these sanctions bring desired results & avoid new distortions of the trade dynamics in the region? China & Russia are certainly maneuvering here, Chinese are now already quietly comprising 40% of all investment developement in Africa.
So far the Iranian sanctions have avoided military intervention , they were used against Saddam in Iraq and did inflict huge injury to those people for a decade but war was still the outcome . Its going to be an interesting year ahead to see just how these Jihadists deal with with the bancruptcy of most of the Middle East?
Maybe they'll turn their wrath on the UAE & the capitalist Arabs in Dubai?
The joke is going to be on them i think, if one reads Hillary Clinton & Obama uber firm policy correctly, let these relgious fanatics terrorize the more successful entities of the Arab world, lets see how long people over there continue their support for fundamentist Arabist/Theocracies & Muslim Brotherhoods if it means total destruction of their own middle classes & economic ruin.
There are greater forces at work here than Allah thats for sure, what goes round , goes round again & again , small waves become bigger waves , till much comes crashing down. Al Quaeda might be very sorry what they wish for, which in the end leads to their own extinction. The opposite may be true as well, but hardly think so, secularism is growing far faster in this world than th religion of Islam (if the truth be told) & this is what the Jihadist fear most.
Meanwhile China is maneuvering and they are not Muslim or Christian... |
