Roberts: USA vs China in the Middle East

Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen - the number of countries US is in seems to be growing. While outraged lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are battling the White House over Libya - a war that isn't technically a war, according to the President - generals at The Pentagon are waging a quiet campaign to ensure the Afghan surge continues. Whether or not you think these wars are necessary, the more pressing question seems to be whether USA can keep paying for them. Even America's mayors are joining the fray by calling on the White House to stop spending on wars and start investing at home - something, the conference of mayors hasn't done since the Vietnam war.
To look at how all this will pan out, RT speaks to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, a former Reagan administration official.

Oh and these crazy Russian fuckers must be up to something too. Keeping quiet right now, but you know their plotting something. They're strong, smart and and whatever but completely untrustworthy and shady. Or basically mother russia has the heart of a streetwise whore. O yeah And wtf are these grimy Turks/Iranians up to?

Basically my point is fuck everbody except for Jesus and Mohammed and righteous Jews and chill people that aren't trying to get more shit and r actually considerate of others.

Craig, that was very disappointing. where'd you get your Roman history, bro? Caesar was a legally elected dictator by the senate. does that equate Obama (illegal president) having declared himself a king? the fuck's matter with this guy?

Dr. Roberts is correct, the U. S. is a oligarchy, and the vast American people think it the President. Corruption, power and greed, the President has no power, he's told what to do.

@shazlionusa i luagh at ur weak brain. Jews dont own shit. Illuminati owns US. WE are about 40+ years ahead everybody. Sorry but your religon amd the christains are the target of the Illuminati. 2012 the start of WW3. Nothing you can do to stop it because it will be the last. You gotta watch your self...US cant be taken down. Once WW3 is over at year 2022 we are all good and peace starts..fake peace starts.

Umm no, this channel tells the truth 99 percent of the time rather than maybe almost never on ours.
