mcshey, how is a total disappearance of US demand going to be happening? Will the North American continent be teletransported into some giant flying UFO? As I said - offset, and it doesn't happen overnight, does it?
Pity then that he isn't an Arab - check the Arab population of Iran on the CIA world fact book (3% of Iranians are Arabs). If you don't know this then you have no idea what drives some of the regional politics in the middle east.
You don't really think somebody is stupid enough to give him the means to make the nukes, do you? The Russians are building a nuclear power station for Iran but with full approval and close oversight from Mossad - this is as close as that country ever gonna get to anything nuclear
You're just getting silly here! If you want to see what a collapse looks like, then go to your history books and study, the roman empire, the persian empire, even recent history, you could study the great depression. The great depression occured almost overnight, and took a decade to recover. What do you think happens to an empire when it collapses? Do you really think americans are going to continue to consume and use like they use to? WHen this happens, NO ONE HAS MONEY, because the accepted form of money, Cash, is worthless, so with nothing accepted as an exchange for goods, NO TRADE takes place. As for the Asian economies, without American demand for goods, there won't be a need for manufacturing and manufacturing jobs, as people become unemployed, they have no money to spend, no money to spend, less demand for oil! This is pretty simple stuff, maybe less time studying ufo's and more time reviewing macro economics, just a suggestion.
Just for you history buffs It is amazing how Afghanistan has been the rock that the greatest Empires have foundered. The British , the Soviet and now xxxxxx. Empires seem to have some sort of inbuilt death-wish and dash themselves to pieces on an almost barren mountainous land that isn't worth a tuppenny fart.
