Memory is fine, although we probably all like to keep it selective at times. The bomb Iran quote kept playing over and over, and was pretty self-destructive IMO. He went on to characterize as a joke, as did this guy Foster Frieez, who Santorum said was just joking about aspirin and women's knees. Shouldn't have been said, either one, I guess. Overall, not a big deal. c
This is the American way, put another country into extreme financial hardship and then act surprised when they attack us. We cut Japan off from its Dutch East-Indies oil supply. They attacked Pearl Harbor shortly thereafter. If SWIFT stops servicing Iran's oil revenue accounts I think we can expect them to attack Israel by proxy from Gaza and Southern Lebanon. I think they will also attack American interests in the region though it isn't clear how. They might try to interfere with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz as they threatened to do a few weeks ago. We might see some CONUS terrorist attacks as well.
The piece of the puzzle I cannot solve is why Hillary dimed Israel about it's black ops in Iran. I realize that they got caught setting us up for a false flag event, but surely it had to be more than just that. It would be dumb to go after Iran right now, although we have prepped for this for about three years now. What I see happening this that Hezbollah will step things up. We will then play the state sponsor card, and turn it up some more on Iran, and then, out of desperation, they will shut the strait. But, Russia and China has said that if anything should happen to Iran that involve US troops they will consider it an act of war. Do we believe them, or call the bluff? I gotta say that is a game of chicken I am not trying to play. No good can come of this for the American people, no matter how this plays out.
Russia and China has huge industrial interests in Iran , what happens when they slap us with a couple of Trillion Dollar repair bill?
