gangster empire

Lets face it folks, the US has nothing to back the dollars we owe the Saudis.

We have been providing them military protection in exchange for them making the dollar the only way to buy oil for a long time now. In other words we're like gangsters running protection rackets, so doing a hit on Iran would just be business.

I believe Saddam threatened to accept currency other than dollars for oil and it had something to do with why we went there too.

If we are going to have the largest military in the world and not produce anything we will have to resort to a life of crime collectively for survival's sake. We are already the biggest seller of guns and drugs in the world and get violent when other drugs come into our country.

Maybe we should think of ourselves as a gang.
