If I am understanding this right...
The US is pushing South Korea to provoke North Korea to do something stupid.
But is it stupid?
Clearly pushing two nations to war is, on the face of it, not to clever a move. How about though if doing so will absolutely guarantee the future of your once great nation and release millions of people from the out-of-work pie as the population is drawn back into industry as your biggest trading partner now becomes your national nemesis?
The US wants the Sth to further push the Nth to a point where virtual peace-whilst-warring peninsula that is Korea is no longer able to accept slaps in the face from the Sth (read US).
This is when the Nth must strike the Sth and as such draws the US into a situation it is dreaming of. They dream of China then supporting the Nth which it must do as the last thing Beijing wants is the US stationed on Nth Korea's Northern borders...that simply isn't going to happen.
This will mean the US and China will be at war and the US wil then deny it's debts to Cina as it can not owe money to a country it is at war with...bomb bomb interest payment bomb bomb interest payment...
The US is being forced to do this as it is a country if not already bankrupt certainly on the very edge of it. The US can not and will not stand by as the Russians and the Chinese stop using their currency in their bilateral trading. This makes the green-back weak, obviously so.
The latest quantitive easing in the US is debasing the foundation of the debt the US has with China; the Federal Reserve decides to buy more bonds removing them from circulation This is making the US economy worse and the US government must do something about it.
By engaging in a situation with China the US will probably ban imports of Chinese products (direct imports will be banned immediately but people will find a way) and as such create a massive vacuum in bottom end goods that pack $1/£1/€1 Stores' the globe over.
From this vacuum will come the new American. Once again will industry return to the US, the population has become so used to bottom-end goods the supply of such will need to be locally produced to meet demand It is like new life in a pool left after a tide has receded. New industry will be subsidised and the starting gun on the New America will have been fired.
The thought of the US going to war is scary.
Scary for plenty of reasons, but before that all starts watch with interest what is happening right now in the US and think, if this is all a trial run with the whole population being used as test subjects, where is it all heading?
Cup of tea anyone?
