Same old, same old...... every time that the $ needs support, "we" (sorry, for those "out there" who can't share this ethnocentric crap) use the same old trick.
War, or the threat of it, in the gulf.
Cut to the quick...... it's immoral as hell, but we force the world to pay for oil in our dollars. Don't worry, be happy!
:-(
There is no doomsday coming. The dollar isn't going to collapse. If $30/barrel is required for any period of time, a little Iraq bashing can cover it.
It's a simple and old trick. When all else fails, fast jets and strong tanks determine financial stability. The game is fixed. Amazing how, every time, the world forgets.
Our minds makes things complicated, when they're very often simple. The CIA training manual hasn't changed since 1946...... "relax, be happy".
The epidemic of type II diabetes? Couch potatoes are a new species. Exercise is a simple and effective prophylactic. A weak dollar? War, or prolonged talk of it in the gulf, will fix things just fine.
Get back to basics. Fast jets, big bombs..... they're buffers. We can make anything "economic" happen, and WE DO.
