Ahh! To Nuke or Not............
Let me paint you a picture---Of the beginning of nuclear war.
Kuwait holds $1.3 trillion of debt of our government. The Saudis have between $200 and $300 billion. Other Muslim nations have much more as do private Muslim citizens with great wealth. Each day a portion of this debt becomes due and is renewed and we borrow more from these folks at the same time to keep our government running --Especially the military.
Let’s say these creditors with obviously questionable respect for our country formed a coup and called all of our debt due and refused to lend any more to us. We would then not even be able to pay our more friendly debt holders their payments and surely wouldn’t be able to borrow from almost anyone.
So, we have lets say a year to operate with existing resources---maybe 6 months as our oil would dry up. What are our choices to survive at that point? Especially if we are already in a severe economic depression five or ten years.
Well, I guess we could grovel to the world that has money, our oil rich Muslim “friends”, for help even though they formed a coup to economically kill us and see if they have had a change of heart, which I doubt. Maybe Iran’s new oil rich best friend, Venezuela, would help----not. What do we do.
I guess we could just sit and suffer but I have a feeling that some would think these acts might be acts of war given the harm inflicted upon the American people from them. And, if there was any intent to use this method to intervene in our sovereignty, it would in fact be just that, wouldn’t it?
Now, lets say again that our military has 6 months to a year to act to secure oil and other assets to concrete our political survival and we have the nukes to do so. Which one do you want our leaders to choose for your children?
I am not advocating anything my friends -----just thinking out loud.
