Ah yes, the Great Game is up and running again.
Recall that the Brits and Russians fought over resources for many years. The Brits dropped out and now we have the US ogling Russia over oil and gas in the Caucasus. Hence the big dust up over the Russian Invasion to get the Invading Georgians out of majority Russian autonomous region in Georgia.
We already have wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention CIA insurgencies in Iran, Muslim China, The Philippines--and now it's back to the good ole USSR-- er, I mean Russia.
We also know that 2 out of 3 corporations don't pay income taxes, and the rest of the rich refuse to serve in the military and hardly pay their share of taxes...
In other words, we are stretched beyond our means but our incorrigible leaders, Pentagon people and future leaders want us to soldier on.
What's on our horizon? Decline, of course. It's happened to the best of empires, even many of the worst. Read the tea leaves fans--we're heading for a fall, er, decline.
