They are no use to the powers once they have destroyed the ability of the US to do adequate regulation and enforcement.
But wouldn't even dump have thought this one through? Is he dumber than he acts?

(530 posts)Anything that has to do with Iran (or anywhere in the Middle East, for that matter) has to do with oil. The reason we invaded Iraq was for the oil. The reason we helped Britain assassinate Mossadegh was because of oil. The reason anyone deals with Saudi Arabia or any country that has horrible human rights records is about oil. The infrastructure for oil is already built and there are still many trillions of dollars to be made from it before it becomes obsolete. It is a big game to the kleptocrats. And we (developed and developing worlds alike) continue to expend energy as though it will never run out and will never cause our planet calamity beyond repair.

Ahhh. You just helped me connect it. Destabilizing the US petroleum price will send the US economy into a tail-spin. Plutocrats/Oleocrats/russo's will make a killing on the short sale and later buy-outs of the US/other producers/refiners/transporters/etc.
That's why dump is so anti-solar/alternative. Keep the US dependent on fossils and then undercut the whole f'in country.
