Sometone must be paying off the Isamists. That would be a glorious target for terrorists.

We all know nothing will be done until the oil gets out and ruins everything.

Who’s got the insurance policy? Follow the money. Somebody has set up a perfect storm for a reason, generally speaking. Good article, thank you for sharing.

This crisis cannot be allowed to go to waste, never mind prevented.

I don’t think you understand our government or πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Empire.

The US government can act only in war or emergency, it’s set up that way for 90 years (1933).

β€œNever let a Crisis go to Waste.”

President Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel.

Our actual government with the power is the New Deal administrative state set up for the emergency of the Depression, crystallized in WW2, made permanent in the Cold War that was followed by NATO expanding Eastward, Balkans and other interventions, 9/11 GWOT and now the Retro Cold War (hotter than the original).

Let us not forget our wars on poverty, drugs and viruses, as well as Extremism.

The US government can act only in war or emergency, it’s set up that way for 90 years and isn’t capable-or interested- in normal operations other than redistribution of money (not actual wealth unless you mean from needy to greedy).

Our government is not capable of normal or proactive operations, its war or emergency only.
