World War Economy

sIt has been a long time since I have posted here. I guess I lost interest for awhile, but things have changed in the world since I last posted. I intend to address some of the events that have occurred since that time.
I guess I should be happy that the predictions I made turned out to be correct. There was war between Moscow and Tbilisi, though it only lasted a few days, the Russians showed their stuff. They are not the pushover that the U.S. thought they would be.
I guess the powers that were expecting Russia would back down were gravely mistaken.

I just don't know how to put into words the idiocy I see in Washington. Our forefathers never envisioned the U.S. as an empire. I refuse to admit that I am baffled by what is happening at the White House, I just can't get this idea of spending the way out or recession. I am not an economist, but I do read everything I can on the subject.
I have to believe that those who are in power don't care that our economy has tanked. I get the impression that printing up trillions of dollars is part of a plan. A plan to make the other nations of the world pay off our debt by weakening the dollar to give those who borrowed or bought into the dollar should lose huge amounts of money, as the value of the dollar goes down, the countries holding our currency are losing money big time.
Now we are scrambling to hold foreign oil hostage to our country.
There are two places right now on the earth where countries are competing for natural resources. The first is Libya, the Chinese had huge investments in Libyan oil.
Now the "Western countries" are scrambling to buy into this market. While Eastern Countries, including Russia and China are angry over the results of NATO attacks and rebel incursions which has shut off the the huge amounts of Libyan oil. China can't buy any oil there, for the rigs have stopped pumping, estimates are that it will be a year before oil will flow as it did in the past.
Now I want to talk about the "Arab Spring" uprisings. Starting with Egypt, the people took to the streets by the hundreds of thousands. The economy was so bad the working folk couldn't even feed their families. Tunisian protesters got their dictator to leave the country, The trouble spread to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain needed U.S. and Saudi troops to put down the demonstrators there, there is a small Sunni Group who rule over a huge Shiite group, the result was mass arrests, Martial Law and death to the more extreme protesters. Iran being a Shiite country is seen as being behind the uprisings, Iran is poising itself to overthrow the Sunni dictators in every country and hoping that Shiites will come to power. Egypt and Tunisia are on their way to forcing Sharia Law on the peoples of these two countries. Syria, controlled by a secular Baathist party is looking to overthrow the Kingdom and create another Muslim State under Sharia Law. Iraq instead of being helped by the U.S. to turn to the Rule of Law, under which most western countries abide, instead allowed them to introduce Sharia Law. Can you see where I am going with this?
Our President has praised the uprisings as a first step toward Democracy, the truth is when the people are granted the vote, they will vote for Sharia Law. Pakistan is a nation that us under Sharia Law, as is Iran.
Let me talk about Iran for a few lines here. Iran has been helping the Sharia elements in Iraq. Recently it was reported that Iran has been supplying Shiite Iraqis with bullets , bombs and money to forward their interests. Read a former post where I predicted Iraq would be split into three parts, The Sunni/Baathist party of the west, Saddam's homeland, The Shiite southern part becoming an Iranian Proxy state with Moctada al Sadr as its leader, and the Kurdish north which holds the richest oil fields in Iraq. I posted how I celebrated the Kurds raising the National Flag of Kurdistan in Northern Iraq, I also mentioned how the Turks and Iranians were shelling Kurdish positions inside Iraq. The U.S. has done nothing for the Kurds, EVER! True Kurdistan is divided among 5 countries, Iraq is the largest and seems now to be in Kurdish hands, Iran has a Kurdish population and a good chunk of northern Iran is Kurd homeland. Syria holds a small chunk of Kurdish land at their northernmost border, Turkey Holds a huge chunk of Kurdish territory, as large or larger than the Iraqi part. After WWII the allies created a new map of the middle east according to their varied interests, the Kurds were left out of the equation, I believe the Kurds will now become stronger, with the oil wealth they have gained in Iraq, they are now able to buy arms, armored vehicles and tanks, and helicopters...soon they will be looking to buy Bombers and Fighter jets.
In the early 1980's Saddam used chemical weapons on the Kurds in Northern Iraq.
The U.S. did nothing. It shows that no one in the world cares about the Kurds and that keeping them down has been the policy of every government where Kurds live out their meager existence.
I believe the Kurdish day is coming when they will have revenge on the people who have persecuted them since WWII, I believe their peoples will be reunited into one of the strongest nations in the middle east and Iranian and Turkish shelling of their villages has brought them to such a point of rage that revenge will be taken on all their neighbors.
Back to Iraq, I believe that when the United States leaves Iraq, that it will no longer be Iraq, it will be split into three nations.
Now in Syria the uprisings have been generally peaceful protests, but the Government has sent in tanks and troops to wipe out civilians. So many Syrians crossed the border into Turkey that the Turks are now threatening to allow NATO to go in and put down the dictator Assad.
Now I want to talk about protests throughout Europe, recent riots in the U.K. have a mirror image of the protests in Egypt. People in the U.K. are not able to afford their rents and mortgages as it is in Egypt, the people are suffering. How arrogant was the Royal wedding, spending millions of pounds while the people live under austerity rules because the banks have gone belly up. We haven't seen the end of riots there, the people are discontented and frustrated, just trying to afford living space, many can't afford food after they pay their rents and Mortgages.
Now I would like to mention the same problems that have the U.K. in their grip are also effecting Israel, the young and the poor cannot afford to pay for living space, the prices are so high and the wages so low, they have been mere protests and not riots as in England, but the people had set up tents and for a month now there have been demonstrations and calls for a new election.
China and Russia have had their protests also as has India, In fact the whole world is about to go through chaos because all nations have been spending beyond their means, wages are too low, unemployment too high and real estate out of reach of millions. In a short time the peaceful tea party protests, will pale in comparison to the strikes and riots that are coming soon to a town near you. hyperinflation is right around the corner and will wipe out the savings of millions. From now until 2015 there will be an explosion of pissed off Americans, who won't know what to do to live.
Its here, on the doorstep and woe to those who live in large cities. When the United States economy crashes it will take the globe with it. Wars will break out in all directions.
Last of all I want to mention the Arctic is on the verge of being divided up between the northern nations. For there are huge natural resources now available since the ice covered lands are now melting opening up sea lanes where there were none in the past and many nations are willing to go to war to get their hands on the rich deposits of oil, gas and other valuable elements and minerals.
