Send In The Marines!

We aren’t laughing with you, Max, we are laughing at you.

“So any country looks at those examples and they say, ‘You know if we get out of the U.S. dollar, does this mean that U.S. Marines are going to show up in our backdoor and start to cause mischief?’” Keiser said. “That’s a legitimate concern these countries have.”

    Um… Huff Post – bastion of idiocy. TV Guide has a higher grade of journalism, not to mention more rational political opinion.
    So the question is, why are you bottom feeding there for intellectual content, if not just for a good laugh?

    Huffington Post is eating Dealbreaker’s lunch. Boo hoo!

    US Marines for the dollar?
    The push to drop the dollar didn’t originally come from China.
    So US Marine be ready (to die)!
    The first two original pushes came from Emerging Markets excluding China and OPEC. How many US Marines will be deployed in each?
    The 2nd came from OPEC just last year!Again, how many of our US Military left to attack those countries for the dollar?
    Pound Sterling was replaced by Dollar as the dominant currency for trade.
    History tells, we haven’t won any war we’ve started!

    We did win the Revolutionary War but that is a minor side note in our history

    @14–
    Huh? How is that even a comeback or insult?

    max keiser’s main point was that the u.s. wants to retain its reserve currency status at all costs; and it will do whatever it takes to retain it; the us dollar allows the US a free ride in the world; fat yanks in alabama love it

    Actually, us fat yanks in Alabama enjoy the weak dollar. THis is how we get Koreans, Japanese and Germans (you know, people who still know how to build automobilles) to locate their factories in and around Huntsville. Sonn Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana will be among the last places left in the US where anything gets manufactured for a profit. And this is all thanks to our new, spending-depleted weak USD!

    hi fatyank, i hope for your sake your sake your country starts producing shit again like it did post WWII; still, your “pending-depleted weak USD” is on the verge of being devalued in a major way and this has the potential to wipe out your middle-class savers who’ve worked hard all their lives; atmleast the world won’t be subsidizing your phony lifestyles anymore
