Have I got good news for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Here's what President Barack H. Obama faces with voters about the economy as he seeks a second term in the White House. He gets it done. This will create all kinds of jobs when we go into WWIII, seeing the GOP forgot what jobs mean to us and want Obama to fail. Iran is striking back at countries that have imposed sanctions with military and economic threats and may soon be willing to launch attacks on its enemies in the West. European countries are likely to be the first targets of economic reprisals given the announcement by Tehran that it may immediately cut off oil exports to Europe ahead of the EU embargo taking effect. Several large multinational corporations, including British/Dutch oil company Royal Dutch Shell (London: RDSA) as well as Japanese and South Korean companies such as Mazda, Kia, and Samsung do significant business in Iran and could be expelled because of support of sanctions by their home countries. Don't worry, your children won't need a summer job, they to will be drafted in the US Army, as well as you to. Welcome to our real world.
Even if General Norman Schwarzkopf and General Tommy Franks were to propose scaling back the U.S. Military at a time when Russia is calling Iran an ally and threatening anybody who attacks them. When China is in the process of building what will certainly be the largest and probably the best equipped army on earth and Iran flexing its naval muscle in the Persian Gulf, I would still have some serious reservations.
But with Barack Obama, who as far as I know was never even in the Boy Scouts, much less the military, does it makes me want to pull my hair out.
The headline I saw said "Drones not Marines", In my book anybody who thinks you can replace The United States Marines with unmanned aircraft has got a presidential screw loose.
If the kind of wars we have to fight these days could be won with drones we would have been out of Iraq and Afghanistan years ago. We would never have put boots on the ground to start with; the guys in Las Vegas could just sit behind their monitors, jiggle their joysticks and obliterate the enemy.
We'll still kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also.
in spite of all his posturing and rhetoric, I'm not sure Obama and his cabinet really like the military all that much and secondly, also in my humble opinion I believe they are extremely naive in assessing the dangers to America when it comes to our enemies, declared and undeclared. Anybody who ever swallowed the line that we had heard the last of Russia when the Berlin Wall came down is dreaming. I have never believed that Russia was going to be content to be the second or third-rate military power in the world. Now the Russian Bear is growling and showing its teeth again and I'm sure they're extremely happy about Obama pruning back America's military power. Just wait and see if they reciprocate by cutting back theirs. I know Obama and his ilk would argue with me but I will go on record now, the powers that be in Russia are still enemies of The United States of America and when and if they consider us to be weak enough they will use any slight provocation they can find to face us down with threats of military action.
We are in it to win it.
