Is anyone else scared to death about this shit?
The violence in the WORLD is increasing in volume. The Israelis, The Lebanese, The Iranians, The North Koreans, The Americans....all showing military prowess.
No one wants to talk about it, lets just sit here and have a big giant cock-off and show who is bigger once and for all. Please...let cooler heads prevail. If thats even a possibility anymore.
Oil hit an all time high today, it peaked at over 78 dollars a barrel. Unreal. We as a nation are spread very thin anyway, let alone the N. Koreans and the Iranians do something. God forbid Iran and Lebanon and Syria pull an offensive on Israel. The United States will be forced to get involved. Forget not, that without the US, there would be no Israel. World War II brought about the Nazi Germans killing millions of Jews, and the Americans stepped in and said, here...lets kick the Palestinians out of here and we will call this your land. ISRAEL.
The Palestinians didnt take it lying down...and from that moment on, this has been brewing. Our allegiance with Israel, isn't one we will forsake. If Iran or Syria or any of the other countries who want to cut off our balls decide to get to us, it will be through Israel. A) It is easier to strike next door than half way around the world. B) The Israeli army is decent enough, but nothing compared to the ole' US of A.
North Korea. July 5th showed one thing. They have guts. I do not think they have any brains, but in a wartime situation...guts will get you pretty damn far. Now, it also showed that their long range missile was a fucking tinker toy, but they will not give up.
So enough bitching...what is the solution. Here in my completely uneducated opinion is how we handle this.
North Korea problem - Get Japan, China (you gotta get China), and South Korea in a room. Tell them we are going to go in and knock out the missiles and Kim Jong-Il. We may keep his glasses though. The problem there is China is still communist as is the North Koreans, so that deal will be tough to pull off. Shit, Nixon could have done it.
Iran - Russia is the problem here. We take Vladdy Putin, lock him in a room and tell him if he fucks with us, there will be no RUSSIA. Then we go after Iran. Bomb everything that looks like it is nuclear related.
Israel - We man the fuck up. Tell the world it wasnt fair, and give a portion of that area to the Palestinians. Then once again, you will have a Palestine. The Israelis wont like this, but Jesus Christ, if it wasnt for us, they wouldnt have what they got.
WHY THE US IS THE WORLD POLICE??????
As we are seeing play out in the many theaters of violence and trouble in the world, the USA is the only country who honestly cares about peace. Now, the ironic part of this whole deal is to get to peace, you have to kill some people. Weird, I know. I have seen many people with the bumper sticker that says "YOU CANNOT PREPARE FOR WAR AND PREACH PEACE AT THE SAME TIME" Thats not it exactly, but it is close. Though it is true to an extent, in a way...I am coming back around. I think that the world cannot run itself. Imperialism isn't dead, it just looks different today then it did in the past when that term was a bit more relevant.
Am I scared? Not really, I am not losing sleep over this..but each day it gets worse, it does begin to occupy a bit more of my mind space. And there isnt much for anything else. So lets cowboy up, fix this stuff, and get back to our regularly scheduled traumas of wardrobe malfunctions and car chases on Fox News.
This nuclear shit has gotta go.
Take care, be safe, buy a bunker.
kidding.
