Arabs putting moves on us???
The oil producing nations are capitalizing on the downturn in the U.S. economy to further weaken it and there is some doubt in my mind as to whether this is a prelude to some major move by the Arab communities to entirely cripple our nation. Surely any imbecile could see that now is not the time to land crippling blows to any nation that one might care about at all. I am certain that this economic squeeze play is well planned and on purpose.
I can say that I think this is a valid strategy to employ if one is inclined to harm a nation already on its knees from a major economic down turn. This also might be a way to damage or curtail our military actions in the mid-east, especially if the Arab nations who now hold much of our debt refuse to lend further or refinance our debts as is done regularly. That is the major move that I am concerned about.
If we were to be economically crippled and forced to take a road in the Mid East that is not prudent , such as being forced to allow Iran to develop nukes or over run Iraq, our nation and the entire west will be in a very dangerous situation. If our economy collapses, as it very well may if our creditors betray us, we would change to a different standing in the world almost overnight.
One might view such acts as those as acts one nation at war might take upon their enemy. This is definitely something we might want to think about and plan for.
