1. my response primarily was about Iran’s interests in the western hemisphere which you minimized with your Hormuz comment.
2. you are correct. my refining statement was not complete. they have no refining capability to refine anywhere near for their needs. yes they have minimal ability to refine far less than their needs.
3. i could care less about Israel. Israel is quit capable and should handle their interests. in relation to their asset vs liability list in OUR interests. their assets are overstated. i view the whole Zionist occupier vs they are our vital ally debate as hot air.
4. you overstate the Hormuz threat by 10, and understate the threat in our own hemisphere equally in the other direction. to suppose taking out 10 malls is not as effective in damage as the strait closing overlooks the obvious. what response do we have to infiltration destruction ex post facto? vs what response is available in Hormuz. that analysis destroys your assessment. the strait would not be closed for long. as long as no boots on the ground are required in Iran, and they would not be, their threats would dissolve in hours. from Kilos to air defense they would have nothing left. no navy. no missiles. no air defense. in hours. however, domestic infiltration is not easily countered and the counter measures taken would shut our entire economy down. review post 9 11 and multiply port closing and air traffic ceasing by months.
the point is… re this article. the USA since JFK has been unbelievably stupid about our Latin interests and their potential. we create our own problems and then follow them with responses that make our position worse and worse, and we do it over and over again. Cuba through CA through Buenos Aires through Brazil through Mexico, we have chosen every wrong response. consequently the southern hemisphere now today is indeed a serious threat. Daniel, AlBA and the non aligned movement including the Russians see it clearly. apparently you do not.
today’s pjm article about how bad jfk was financially ignoring his real toxic leavings re the bay of pig’s fiasco and the USA AGREEING TO ALLOW FOREIGN POWERS TO WEAPONIZE LATIN AMERICA AS LONG IS IS WAS NON NUKE IS A GIFT TO THE EVIL PARTS OF THE WORLD THAT KEEPS ON GIVING AND GIVING. chew on that threat a while. 30 years and increasing daily. when do you decide it is a danger chile? attacks on this continent have been going on for 30 years and are now increasing, a domestic attack would end the USA Geo politically as we know it. be certain, the attackers feel they have been attacking us even if you do not.
