Listen, pathetic leaders.
The Nation II: US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that Israel was going to attack Iran later this spring. Somebody that still has some sense in DC…if such a person exists…had better tell the SecDef that Iran has some friends who won’t take too kindly to air strikes in Iran or boots on the ground. That would be Russia, India and China. Surely, Washington doesn’t think they and Israel can get away with this. World War III, here we come. My guess is that in the diplomatic back-channels, China will quietly explain to Mr. Obama that if DC or Tel Aviv go ahead with military attacks, China will dump a few hundred Billion in US Treasuries into the bond market and crash the market. That move would effectively destroy the Dollar and America would be over, as well as Israel. That’s The Art of War…the Sun Tzu way.

ReplyDeleteThe flaw in this argument is the assumption that our _resident would see ANY of this as "a bad thing" ...
Personally, I believe he'd consider that outcome 'mission accomplished'!
He'd even - most likely - ride out to an aircraft carrier for a celebration! -- a CHINESE aircraft carrier, but hey.......
