"it's very encouraging to me that Joe Biden is the incoming vice president. He has been the prime proponent of a decentralized Iraq. And although in the campaign Senator McCain described his plan as, I think, a cockamamie idea, it is in fact what the Bush administration has done in part. The Bush administration, in 2007, decided to finance a Sunni army, which is the Awakening. And that's why we've had success. Biden would only take this a next step and encourage the Sunnis to form their own region"

Let's not be too hard on war mongers.  Can you imagine what earth's population would be today if the estimated 100 million killed in WWI and WWII alone had remained alive and reproduced.    As ghoulsh as it may sound, maybe man's innate tendency to make war is a built in hedge against overpopulation.

Whoa horsey! That is pure globalist speak. At what prior time was this planet ever at 7.7 billion humans?

i realize that war really sucks and the above is a highly fatalistic view but I have long entertained this possibility just as I've wondered whether homosexually might serve the same purpose.

I have wondered about the latter as well. Factor in the rising rate of sterility and declining interest in sex amongst the young and you start to get a species limitation equation of sorts:

[Metron2267]

There are valid reasons to go to war, and it’s not always about “big evil profits for the big evil military industrial complex”.

Japan and Hitler would’ve killed a lot more when they had control of the planet.

Of course yes, as in every last Jew in existence.

What would the price of gas have been throuought the 90s if we hadn’t booted Saddam from Kuwait? Kiss off the 90s economic boom. Kiss off the tech boom and .com boom.

I do not follow your logic here. How did the price of oil remain coupled to the Gulf war for the rest of the 90s? And are you saying that was the only factor? And where is the linear relationship to the tech and dot.com boom and subsequent "tech wreck"?

As to the lasting impact of our relations in the ME vis a vis oil, consider:

https://jia.sipa.columbia.edu/war-oil-price-cycle/

The geopolitical component of this oil megacycle can be particularly insidious. As oil capitals like Moscow, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Tehran reap massive profits with a sudden influx of petrodollars not easily recycled into domestic economies, significant financial reserves become available for arms purchases and military adventurism. Such initiatives are designed to protect the ruling class from both external threats (real and imagined) and internal challenges through robust internal security spending. Today, military employment in the Middle East is particularly high at three percent while military expenditures as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) is also strikingly high.5 For instance, it is above ten percent in Saudi Arabia.6 The regional arms race that accompanies high oil prices boosts not only arsenals of key countries in the Middle East but also their subnational proxies and even terrorist organizations that arise to challenge the status quo. Ironically, the flow of weapons driven by the oil price boom then increases the geopolitical risk to oil production, once again laying the groundwork for a future rise in oil prices as fears grow that military conflict will once again disrupt supplies.

In this way, as noted by historian Toby Craig Jones: “oil and war have become increasingly interconnected in the Middle East,” with the United States not only “mired in the middle” but “its approach to oil has abetted the outcome.”7 In fact, the United States and the West unwittingly participate in propelling the geopolitical nature of the oil cycle by recycling petrodollars via the sales of military equipment. In the mid-2000s, to reduce the pressure of the trade deficit on the U.S. dollar, the United States offered the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries a $20 billion arms deal that now equips today’s conflicts.8

https://historyplex.com/effects-of-persian-gulf-war

Economy
As for the economic effects, Iraq was the major sufferer. It not only suffered losses in military equipment, but also its infrastructure as well, which may take years and billions of dollars to rebuild. Similarly, both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia suffered some infrastructural losses, running into billions of dollars. The major economic impact of the Gulf War was perhaps on cleaning up the oil slicks, which cost a whopping $700 million to clean up. However, due to the rising oil prices and growth of the oil industry post the Persian Gulf War, Kuwait was able to make up for many of its economic losses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_oil_price_shock

Despite the potential for inflation, the U.S. Fed and central banks around the globe decided it would not be necessary to raise interest rates to counteract the rise in oil prices. Rather, the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to maintain interest rates as if the oil price spike were not occurring. This decision to refrain from action stemmed from confidence in the future success of Desert Storm to protect major oil-producing facilities in the Middle East and a will to maintain the long-term credibility of economy policy that had been built up during the 1980s.[3]

To avoid being accused of inaction in the face of potential economic turbulence, the U.S. revised the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act. Initially, the act prohibited the U.S. from changing budget deficit targets even in the event of a negative shock to the economy. When oil prices rose, revision of this act allowed the U.S. government to adjust its budget for changes in the economy, further mitigating the risk of rising prices. The result was a peak in prices at $46 per barrel in mid-October, followed by a steady decline in prices until 1994

How many 911’s would there have been if we hadn’t taken the war to the Middle East?

So far there there have been none since.

While we haven't had attacks of the 911 scale we have indeed interdicted numerous attempts that would have been commensurate, both here and abroad.

LOL, to the greenbacked pasture of lobbying!

Boehner joined the board of tobacco company Reynolds American on September 15, 2016.

In 2018, John Boehner announced his joining the board of Acreage Holdings, a cannabis corporation, to "promote the use of medical marijuana" and to advocate for federal decriminalization of it, a shift in his previously adamant opposition to cannabis legalization.

My comment was purely philosophical and not political.  A review of my posts will show that I am most decidedly anti one world government.

Despite what one might think, the period between the end of WWII and now has been one of the most peaceful eras in history which has allowed the world's population to grow to 7.7 billion.  It's pretty much a mathematical certainty that today's world population would be even larger if the 100 million who died in the two WWs had stayed alive and procreated.  See what I mean?

Fascinating article, sadly the critical revelation is pure deep state:

The day before, Reid had blasted him from the Senate floor, saying he ran the House like a dictator. “I don’t do angry. Nobody on my staff has ever seen me angry,” Boehner tells me. “But that little son of a bitch got under my skin.” When he arrived at the White House for a meeting with the president and congressional leaders, Boehner spotted Reid talking with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “I walked right up to him and said, ‘Harry, you can go fuck yourself. You ever listen to that shit that comes out of your mouth?’” Boehner imitates a flustered Reid, then adds: “I thought McConnell was going to have a heart attack.”

(Reid adds an interesting detail. “Then he said, ‘We’ve got to get along better,’” Reid recalls, grinning. “That’s one reason I like him. He’s not a phony. … He wanted me to know that he wanted us to get along. So that was his way of telling me.” Boehner agrees; he says they became “really good friends” after the incident, and today construction is underway on a new think tank at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, which they will co-chair. Boehner visited in August and Reid tells me they went sightseeing together like an old married couple; he even put down the car window so Boehner could smoke as they drove.)

Glad to hear it, I was beginning to wonder if you were of the "Kissinger Report" mentality?

https://www.hli.org/resources/exposing-the-global-population-control/

The Basic Question: Is Population Control Necessary?
There is growing awareness that the world “population explosion” is over or, indeed, that it never actually materialized. When the population scare began in the late 1960s, the world population was increasing at a rate of more than two percent per year. It is now increasing at less than one percent per year, and this rate is expected to continue to drop due to continuing population control activities.

The Kissinger Report predicted that the population of the world would stabilize at about 10 to 13 billion, with some demographers predicting that the world population would balloon to as high as 22 billion people. Now it is estimated that by 2050 population will level out at around 9.7 billion.

The worldwide application of the strategies recommended in The Kissinger Report has resulted in regional population growth rates decelerating so fast that they are already causing severe economic and social problems in Europe, the former Soviet Union, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Many developing nations are now aging even more rapidly than the developed world, which foretells of even more severe problems for their relatively underdeveloped economies. The developed nations had the opportunity to become rich before they became old; if a nation becomes old first, it will never become rich.

Despite what one might think, the period between the end of WWII and now has been one of the most peaceful eras in history which has allowed the world's population to grow to 7.7 billion.  It's pretty much a mathematical certainty that today's world population would be even larger if the 100 million who died in the two WWs had stayed alive and procreated.  See what I mean?

Indeed I do, raw numbers don't lie.

I went to their website as well and found it quite enlightening. But as I noted in my commentary on growing global infertility, and as we see in Germany with Merkel's imported worker class, the bigger problem the world is facing is non-linear aging and replacement demographics in formerly productive nations.

How many damned central American lawn bois and nannies do the Demotards think this nation needs as we veer head-on into automation and robotization of our work force?

This will NOT end well.

And one more interesting deep state tell:


"Boehner often felt more welcome among Democrats than he did within his own party. When he made his retirement announcement, he told me, Obama called him and said, “Boehner, you can’t do this, man. I’m gonna miss you.” Biden feels the same way. “The only way we’re going to get this back together again,” he says, “is with some more John Boehners.”
