    There have been many wars fought over economic and fiscal policy. What the Fed is doing is angering many nations.
     
  3. Of course they're angry. The U.S. just exported/dumped a ton of inflation on the heads of everyone else in the world, whether they want it or not.
     
  4. And here I thought the messiah was going to \ get the world to "like" us again?

    Oh wait, he is trying, but this is still W's fault.

    Hardliners in denial will NEVER admit they drank the koolaid.
     
  5. WW3?

    GO LONG! Bet the FARM!!
     
  6. has brazil got nukes? I thought was only G5

    usa/UK/france/china/russia
     
  7. TheMan

    TheMan

    well if we are going to go to war Brazil would be a good choice


    lol


    wtf are they going to do?
     
  8. LOL, wait for us to do something idiotic like we always do...
     
  9. Pakistan, India, and of course Israel so you forgot a few! :eek:
     
  10. we do not need nukes to fight WW3, all that is needed is a proxy country where everyone can commit their forces and kill each other to their heart's content.

    Actually i thought Brasil did develop nukes but later gave it up like S.africa
