A sign of declining US strategic power

[2paclove2]

the us will hand power to israel,just like England handed power to usa after ww2,by the collapse of the us dollar.

[terrygand]

The US is `going through`what the UK `went through` before it`s Empire disintegrated. When the world starts to trade in currencies(Other than the $US), that is when the US stops getting it`s debts paid by the rest of the world. The US still thinks it can ` live on ` credit cards! It does not work; I know i`m British, it has happened to the UK already.A real "Superpower" has `Exporting Industries` not, `Casino` banking! US must prepare for some serious `Downsizing` . I do wish you well!

[powerofthroughts]

China and Russia will drop the Dollar. I hope the u.s realise that by putting billions dollars in their economy, will effect the world. Germany and china is totally against it. I think the u.s is losing it. They keep on Bashing china,while the doing the exact things.

[Mike32587]

@powerofthroughts As much as China and Germany may be against quantitative easing in the United States, both China and Germany have undertaken large injections of liquidity into their own markets. China has been pouring money into social safety net programs and infrastructure and Germany has carried the brunt of the recent EU bailouts of Ireland and Greece. China and Germany denouncing US fiscal policy is more politics than anything else. Obama is perceived as weak after recent election.

[powerofthroughts]

@Mike32587 Germany is the European leader at present. I think people should respect and admire the German. The u.s is just lost it. I personally think, I mean the u.s state is the biggest Economy, they manipulate the market already, They have power over Japan, as they tell the Japanese to commit suicide on their economy, so they did, so America be strong, but it is not working. But They saying the same things to china and Germany. The Chinese and Germany are not accepting it. Obama is just talk.

[2paclove2]

@powerofthroughts germany is not the leader of europe,its influenced by a lot more countires britian,italy,spain,and germany not germany alone.

[powerofthroughts]

@2paclove2 who is the leader then? Only Germany can contribute money to support all the EU. Germany is the smartest and cleverest. Britain is trying to be the letter, but it is flat broke.

[2paclove2]

@powerofthroughts germany is powerfull but it cant call the shots by itself.

[powerofthroughts]

@2paclove2 Germany is calling the shot, but it is because She is clever, not to invade Iraq and attacked Libya. This proven, Germany is in total control, she doesn't need to follow America.

[2paclove2]

@powerofthroughts i said that germany cant call the shots for of the countries of europe all the time,i know its a powerfull country,and very beutiful i visited frankfort two years ago and i looks like some thing from the future.

[Mike32587]

@powerofthroughts I'm saying, look how monetary and fiscal policy has been managed after the mortgage bubble nation by nation, and you will find almost all of them behaved the same way including China, America and Europe. All began huge stimulus programs and slashed interest rates. This continues even to today. So when Germany or China denounces US quantitative easing it is a little like the pot calling the kettle black.

[powerofthroughts]

@Mike32587 Dude, Germany and China are going to be the super power in economy of the 21st century, Especially Germany, they are great business people, I hope china will learn more from them. China and Germany are a saving and investing country, while America is a borrow and spending country, basing everything on property or real estate, this what happen to Greece, Ireland , America etc. America is complained about Germany and china, but they are doing wrong way.

[Yeahcoolwhatever]

Aijaz is an Indian communist. Why should any American give two shits about what some commie foreigner thinks?

TheRealNews is CLEARLY unbiased with its massive amounts of positive attention given to communists, anti-american subjects, and world-state infatuation.

[mrfalcon6666]

Dumb Bush thinks that the country Turkey is the Thanks giving bird Turkey .

Bush likes to snort cocaine ride horses and kill people

[nauruforever555]

InfoJunkieHolland that means they build more debt you retard. By the time you repay debt which you can't especially if you build more of it will be 200 years more.

[BusterXXXL]

@InfoJunkieHolland: Russia is EXporting oil and gas

[Neeebious]

Amen.

[ozhen23]

Long Live Kurdistan!

[Persian5life]

long live Iran, Turkey, iraq.

[InfoJunkieHolland]

US power will not decline as long as they can loan money from China and others. As soon as the debt is asked to be repaid, it'll be war. That, or the US attacks Iran, and they inadvertently :P hold up the flow of oil to China and Russia.

Either way, the stage is set for a global cold war, which will eventually end up in HOTTTTT war. 80% of the population will DIE. It will be ugly, and there will be pain. Lots of it.

[CloudStrife890727]

Long Live Kurdistan!

[Mikey34549]

Ron Paul 08

[mrmike123456a]

Superb and informative news and editorial content! 5 stars on everything you produce!

[Rickdeckard2020]

Another excellent TheRealNews video!

thereallurker, can you elaborate with a few insights on Turkey and Iraq?

[Vence333]

This is nothing more than the balkanisation of the middle east that started , remember what hapened to yougoslavia ? how to do this ? give weapon to every little tribe or so called ethnie and convince them that they should Create their own state ... If this happen it s a great justification for the ethnic clensning of palestine , the work started with the european colonial powers to divide the muslim world is ongoing

[RahSabs]

Uncommented-upon is the plethora of other ethnic groups. As in the rest of this continent, numerous ethnic identities are prevalent. They intersect and overlap. This is what makes them more significant to the outsiders than to the inhabitants themselves. Throw in some agent provocateurs, and you can divide even a new Kurdish state.

[swankrecords]

Very good program. Thank you RealNews.

[thereallurker]

I didn't know it was possible to find people who know less about Turkey and Iraq than Bush ever did until I saw rexxam and iqchallenged posts. It's like ignorance arguing with ignorance.

[thid1]

bush is a psychopath.

vote for Ron Paul.

[COAnews]

great

[rexxam62]

I wish the Turks all the best in their fight against these terrorists. I am willing to bet Bush will join Turkey to carpet bomb all the infrastructure and oil infrastructure in North Iraq. So these terrorists don't have the financial capabilities. Anyhow the Turks should press ahead.

[IQchallenged]

Terrorist! Think you might want to look up that word in your dictionary. The only terrorist in Iraq at the moment is the illegal invading force that according to UK FOI request is using chemical warfare "MK77" (white phosphorus) to burn woman and children. The Kurds are an old race that may only want their own lands back.

[IQchallenged]

Since the US is so intent into bringing democracy to the region, they should let the kurds vote on the subject of land owwnership!

[rexxam62]

IQchallanged

read between the lines.

[SkinSinFilms]

Democracy is over-rated. A society does itself no justice by allowing the ignorant and the selfish to cast ballots. Take the U.S. for example. Are we not a Democratic Republic? Are we not FUBAR?

[Rickdeckard2020]

'Democracy is over-rated.'

I disagree, the US is as democratic as a can of valvoline oil with a Pepsi label on it is a soft drink. Its closer to a crypto-fascist plutocracy.

[Dreaded88]

More like: Crypto-Oligarchic Keresocracy.

[Rickdeckard2020]

:) whats a Keresocracy?

(its not in my dictionary)

[Dreaded88]

Pt 1

Ah, sorry I didn't leave an explanation. Keres is the ancient Greek word for Ghost. I had tried to find the word for Shadow, but I couldn't find it.

[Dreaded88]

Pt2

I wanted to find a descriptive word to mean: Shadow-Government. A word to define a government in which the people are not allowed to know who the true controlling powers are, who the membership of that government is, nor where, or when these people meet.

[Dreaded88]

Pt3

You're also never allowed to know what the true motivations of this Shadow-Government are. Hence the words: Crypto-Oligarchic Keresocracy.

Since I couldn't find the ancient Greek word for Shadow, I decided to use the word for ghost instead. So in this usage it stands for rule by a mysterious body.

[hamace]

@Rickdeckard2020 Wrong, the USA is merely a member state of the UN. The US lost its sovereignty during WW2. WHy do you think Congress and the White House completely ignore Americans? The US has been dead for a long time.

[schattenjedi]

Just when you thought the mess that is iraq couldn't get worse...
