US-led economic sanctions against Iran are effectively an act of war.

Gata recently reported on the US-led sanctions being placed on Iran and what this activity is doing to its citizens.  A simple analysis of the situation reveals that we have effectively declared war on Iran and we are directly attacking the prosperity of its citizens.  How many new terrorists will this create as young people watch their parents ruined economically and their own futures flushed down the tubes?  When people have nothing left to lose they resort to desperate things.  Our leaders know this yet they persist even though our own intelligence sources say that Iran is not close to having a bomb.

Our military industrial complex is beginning to feel the effects of the credit collapse in a big way.  Defense contractors are downsizing and preparing for a long economic winter.  The warmongers want to start trouble in any way that they can so that they can dupe the American people into going into even more debt in order to finance unneeded wars.  If they have to create new enemies in order to get their way then so be it.  If we are not careful we could see Russia and China jump in to support Iran.  If that happens then it would be a boon to the warmongers who would see world war as an economic benefit to themselves.

This is a track I have predicted long ago was possible and in fact history shows it has happened many times before.  We need to be damned careful here.  Iran does not need to develop its own nuclear weapons if Russia and China form an alliance with it.  Instead of stopping Iran from getting access to nukes, this activity could have the unintended consequence (or perhaps fully foreseeable and intended consequence) of enabling immediate access to nukes for Iran. Such an alliance would allow Russia and China to let Iran deliver nuclear strikes to the US and claim they were not responsible.  Everyone hates us because we are pushy, arrogant bastards on the world stage, not because they envy our prosperity.  In fact, they are all major trading partners with us and any aggression toward us would cause them all great economic pain.  So if it happens it will not have been because they wanted to but because we the people failed to listen to the sage advice and counsel of the only non-war monger running for president in 2012 and that is Ron Paul.  Everyone else in the running thinks war is normal and natural.

There is a growing risk that things will come to a major head on the global stage as a result of the economic pressures associated with a credit bust of historic proportions.  If that happens and it results in WW3, it will affect every single person in the USA.  From where I sit, Ron Paul is the only president that other countries would even listen to.  He is the only one that has the wisdom to look at both sides of the coin.  Electing anyone other than Ron Paul in 2012 significantly increases the chance that we will eventually see WW3.  I'm not saying for sure (nobody can predict the future with certainty), just that the odds of WW3 will be greatly swayed by whoever becomes our next president.
