This may start WW3 on DU.. but here goes

31. no, but not for the reasons you might think....

the reason nothing good will come out of it is that we don't want that.

There are hundreds of billions of dollars to be made by defense contractors ( GDP boost! ),Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Turkey, and Western Europe. Not to mention that this is an opportunity to hit Russia financially and politically, as part of ongoing efforts to preserve ( and expand ) our hegemony.

So, I believe there can be no success ; we may have to wait a few months to attack, but that is it.

And don't believe that ANYONE other than the American taxpayer will pay for this war. The Saudis may buy us a few replacement tomahawks, but they know that once we start killing we will do our patriotic duty: borrowing trillions to give to the Rich and powerful.


And we'll get a shiny new surveillance state to go with it....
