Operation Brimstone
| Quote From Source: | Operation Brimstone ended only one week ago. This was the joint US/UK/French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran and the likely resulting war in the Persian Gulf area.
The lead American ship in these war games, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and its Carrier Strike Group Two are now headed towards Iran along with the USS Ronald Reagon and its Carrier Strike Group Seven coming from Japan.
The build up of naval forces in the Gulf will be one of the largest multi-national naval armadas since the First and Second Gulf Wars.
The large and very advanced nature of the US Naval warships is not only directed at Iran. There is a great fear that Russia and China may oppose the naval and air/land blockade of Iran. If Russian and perhaps Chinese naval warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation of the blockade it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Kuwait has activated its "Emergency War Plan" as it and other Gulf nations prepare for the likelihood of a major regional war in the Middle East involving weapons of mass destruction.

Right on time, and just think all the news didn't expect this? Nothing is by chance and a war started prior to the elections almost assures a continuation of these policies and might actually result in a postponement of the election. Whatcha think?
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I don't think so. I don't think the American people will put up with that level of bullshit. I'd certainly hope our own military isn't that stupid. If they are wise they'd turn their guns on Washington instead and remove the criminals from office by force. But then again this is the U.S. Americans are lazy and generally don't do anything as long as their internet works.

outcome? (been there done that)
How many times do we have to watch young soldiers, march off to war confident that their amassed and unopposed forces set out for eventual battle, become bitter and enraged as their comrades start to fall, driven into acts of inhuman atrocities as the combat deteriorates down to hand to hand amongst the already injured.
The few survivors, that come home broken and still bitter, go unheard as the next group of young bragger's trains to add fuel to the ruin of the growth and stability of the world's populations individual personal family lives.
Driven ever onward by those who never serve on the front lines, but reap the power as it is released, created by the imbalances that ensue. |
