REASONS FOR USA WAR WITH IRAN OVER ISRAEL
(From my post at The Times Of Israel)
1) Obama will either support israel or lose the election.
2) The conservatives will support israel for the following reasons:
a) for sentimental reasons (protecting the little guy)
b) for ideological reasons (they’re our jews, and our allies)
c) for strategic reasons (a base of operations for protecting oil)
d) for geopolitical reasons (the usa cannot tolerate a nuclear iran as the core state of islam creating a unified anti-commercial ideological political alliance from syria to pakistan which can hold the world hostage over oil)
e) because iran is building an exchange that is not denominated in dollars. If this exchange is successful it will deprive the USA of the ability to export and deflate debt as an indirect means of progressively taxing foreign states for US military protection of the system of finance and trade. While speaking of this is impolitic both inside and outside the country, it’s just the reality of how the international system operates.
f) And while the finance system is in bed with the democrats, the oil system is in bed with conservatives.
So those are the reasons. And its pretty hard to argue with them if you want the average american to hold onto anything approximating his current standard of living.
