The Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Michael Mullen, has stated that a nuclear armed Iran would pose an existential threat to Israel. During a briefing in Washington, the Admiral also implied that US naval and air forces could be involved in an Israeli assault. Even if the United States does not join in, they would certainly provide intelligence and logistic support.
Israel and the United States have just concluded their largest ever joint military exercises. The Israelis want US backing to crush Iran's nuclear ambitions, while the US is desperate to halt Iran's oil trade in euros. That's why we are probably going to war with Iran, and probably sooner rather than later.
The American oligarchy is playing a very dangerous game, risking another war in the Middle East to save the US dollar. They've already destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan, killing at least a half-million people. And they've spent the world's money doing it.
Americans do not pay for the trillion-dollar security apparatus that wages these global wars. It's the Chinese, Middle Eastern banks, and Sovereign Wealth Funds who buy our debt. If they want to conduct trade, they have no choice but to finance this war machine.
Since the financial crisis began, the United States has flooded global markets with trillions of dollars worth of US Treasuries. Nobody wants them, and soon the world won't have to buy them. The only question is, will our empire collapse before we start another war.
