When people look at a map and think of traveling, we tend to think east-west. But in a war between Russia and the USA, the shortest route would be over the top of the world and of course, right through Canadian airspace. mind blown. lol. Is it actually a shorter distance up north? !!! Be careful not too shoot any rain deer! Santa must stay in operation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It actually looks like the US and Russia are both going after ISIS right now: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37679325 Quote Iraqi government troops and Kurdish fighters launched their push towards the city in the early hours of Monday. The government troops are backed by Russia and the Kurds by the USA. It also looks like the Russia/USA were already in talks prior to this attack: http://www.euronews.com/2016/10/06/russia-ready-to-cooperate-with-us-on-syria-ceasefire To me it looks more like a case of two enemies cooperating, while giving the impression that they are each getting their way.

CBH1926 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 If people actually read what Putin said, instead of relaying on British tabloid garbage news. They might learn that he talked about perception that Russia's elite is sending their kids to western schools. And that they should return their kids to school them in Russia. I guess that doesn't sell the news as much as the scaring gullible sheep with stories of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing what a Trillion dollars will buy... ...yet they still couldn't defeat a relatively small guerilla army operating in a southeast Asian jungle, nor one operating in middle eastern desert... Those two wars were lost due to a lack of clear goal. Containg spread of communism in Asia and bringing democracy and sucesfully changing regime is not attainable goal for the armed forces. Military is not built to have a same role us United Nations peacekeepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Check out this video of Putin talking too his peeps. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/554867/Russia-US-World-War-3-Marines-Corps-Deployed-Norway-WW3 Rather interesting perspective. Could be propaganda but seems like a genuine response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Economy collapsing. Potentially US $/petro system falls like a house of cards. Even lightweight countries like the Phillipines are questioning(open & brazenly) US hegemony. BEFORE this cycle spins outa' their control, bet'cherfata$$ TPTB will send our kiddies to war. That's how they roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its a conspiracy theory that the U.S. economy will experience a collapse, and probably much worst than 2008 in the near future. The debt is now almost 20 trillion, an increase of 10 trillion from 2008. The Fed reserve don't want to raise interest rates, and no wonder, how are they going to pay interest on their massive debt? They'll basically be acknowledging recession the moment they raise it. They're printing money out of thin air. Not gold backed, while countries like China and Russia are buying tons of gold, and selling their U.S. bonds along with Saudis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sees conspiracy in everything from hockey to politics, just read his posts and you will see. To answer your question, most debt is owned domestically, SSA is the largest debt holder. Everyone talks about China, they own around 5% of total debt, its in their interest to see U.S currency and economy do well. Walmart imports more from China then entire country of Canada or Russia. As far as collapse goes, i think those claims are exagareted to scare people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people wrap themselves in that warm blanket of gov't/media-propaganda, to stay snug & warm at night. Entertain them with a steady stream of sports & mindless debates.
