Economy is in massive debt: no problem, nuke your creditors!

There is a persistent and increasing resort to debt-financed growth and a concomitant, growing imbalance in the trade deficit, leading the US ever further into financial dependency and so leaving it dangerously indebted to rival nations, which could (at least theoretically) pull the plug at any time. bush is not worried why??- he plans on nuking them! Soon too ..

This, in turn, is occurring against the backdrop of an increasingly problematic, Vietnam-style quagmire in Iraq, a couple of well paced h-bombs will quiet them down, hell it worked in Japan the ongoing crisis in energy prices oil companies record profits fo bush co,up! up !! UP!!! itself spurring an ever more frantic competition for energy security, which will provide plenty of good targets . . .

Just as a haystack soaked in kerosene will appear relatively benign until somebody strikes a match, so too, although America's long-standing economic problems have not yet led to financial Armageddon, because bush co is planing a real Armageddon to eliminate the need to repay any of the money! just like his pals in eron take the money and run this time however it will be take the money and then nuke the creditors! then move in and take whatever is left. hell it will make a great excuse to kill of hords of poor in the U.S.

For watchers in 2005, the key, of course, is to imagine which event (or combination of them) might represent the match that could set this "haystack" alight - if there is indeed one "event" which has the capability of getting bush to push those buttons, Iran/Russia, north Korea/china just one staged attack away people get a stock of those radiation pills handy you will need them soon . . .If you live

The USA, EU, Swiss and Russians have had a chat this week in Berne about closing the three remaining military nuclear reactors in Russia.

This is going to cost a lot of money.

Russia is putting up 300mil Eu.
The cost is well over 2bil.

but its good news for the contuing clean up of what was a disastrous cold war for the environment.

the reactors will go offline by 2006.

and the war will be over by xmas.....

> "The cost is well over 2bil."

well over could just be right, make that squared, you might be there.

2bil is peanuts. I can't find a good reference right now on the net of the DAILY cost to the US Exchequer of the war in Iraq, but it's a lot more than 2bil.
