RE: Are We 21st Century Pirates?

Who knows why he started this war? He is a man of impulse. He also wants to have more money. He also wants to make a place for himself in the history books.

I can't understand his motivation. The one thing I know is that he is not an idealist, and he has no regard for the rule of law, whether that be domestic or international law.

I agree with you!
I think Trump values ​​money and desire more than honor and justice!

By the way, Currently, Iran is exporting oil to China in exchange for the Chinese yuan. Trump is waging war with Iran because he wants international oil transactions to be conducted exclusively in dollars.

Seeing the fact that the majority of Americans are in favor of war with Iran, I thought that Americans want to maintain the petrodollar system!

I can't understand his motivation. The one thing I know is that he is not an idealist, and he has no regard for the rule of law, whether that be domestic or international law.

Who do you think will become the President of the United States after Trump steps down?
I think the U.S. will continue to pressure Iran to maintain the petrodollar system!

According to the Silver Bullet website (Silver Bullet aggregates polls from across the U.S.), only 37% of the U.S. approves of war with Iran. 57% are actively opposed. https://www.natesilver.net/p/iran-war-polls-popularity-approval

The people of my country do not favor war with Iran. We did not and do not. It is true a minority, mostly Trump supporters, do support this war. If Trump puts boots on the ground and we begin to feel the pain of the war more at home, this 37% support will surely sink.

As for petro dollars: Most people in my country do not think in those terms. This is too complicated. They don't think that far. Politicians and business leaders may think this way, but most people in the country respond more emotionally to the war: what is it costing them personally? Is U.S. sovereignty compromised? Is U.S. security compromised? Finally, the matter of national pride may enter in. That always happens in war. We are not there yet. Mostly my fellow countrymen want out of the war.

Dear @agmoore !
Madame!
I believe that most American civilians like you want the war to end!

By the way, I believe they definitely want the United States to win the war!
Do you want to he United States to win the war?😄

I am always curious about how an American victory will change the world!

Thank you for kind answer! MoM! 😊

There is no way to win this war. There will be no winners. Whatever the outcome, the balance in the Middle East, and therefore in the world, has been altered. Alliances will fall apart. New alliances will form. Europe will be increasingly independent of the U.S. Canada and Mexico will be increasingly independent. I cannot imagine how the future will be. I know analysts predict a rise in China's influence, and therefore a rise in the influence of Asia overall. I don't know. I don't think anyone knows. I do know one thing. Those very powerful people who pull the strings and are insulated from the effects of war will continue to be powerful. I'm not even sure they will be insulated eventually. War is funny that way. No way to tell how it ends up.

Dear @agmoore !
Madame!
Japan, Taiwan, and S.Korea want the U.S. petrodollar to be maintained. Because they have enjoyed development and prosperity as advanced nations by relying on the U.S. dollar economic sphere until now, they do not want China to rise to hegemony.

Japan, Taiwan, and S.Korea think that if necessary, a war with China would be necessary!

I think if China rises to hegeomy that will probably result in a loss of independence for these countries, eventually. China historically has displayed an appetite for territorial expansion. I can understand the apprehension of its neighbors. War...war however is dreadful. Let's hope nobody ever chooses the path of war. Let's hope independence and autonomy can be maintained without anyone resorting to that option.

Dear @agmoore !
Madame!
The world I currently live in is already dominated by Chinese communism. Protestants like me oppose communism!

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
