NATURE’S GOD --- HAS A GAME PLAN On the one hand we have religious Iran, it having a moral based theocracy that instills in people the idea that we should sacrifice for the good of society as our reward awaits us in heaven, and that we should have only a defensive military with no ability to nuke, invade or pursue wars of aggression. While on the other hand we have a fake morality Empire USA, it having a democracy ruled by the 51% most educated, wealthy and greedy, one that instills in people a desire to enrich themselves upon the misery of anyone less educated, and one that pursues unending wars of aggression in order to plunder by brutal imperialism. So, if the purpose of this world is to prove the good in it then Iran shall win, otherwise the purpose of this planet of the ingrates is to prove the harm in it, and not will God intervene in the affairs of men.

Latin America, most of my family is from there.  No they have not deserted us.  Trust me I think I know Latin America better than the Muslim Brotherhood does.

If Iran closes the straight, the US won't do anything.  Obama will try to "talk" and negotiate with them in good faith.  If the Iranians just flip him off and tell him where to go, he won't have the courage to do anything except give a bunch of speeches, and then cut the US defense budget so they can't fight back.  The US will surrender the strait without a fight, and the US will look like fools.

USA is losing recognition  in the world (what she thinks she deserves) and it's an indicaton of gradual colapse of superiority. The south Americans dont want to have anything to do with the USA. To redeem itself, it wants total grips in the middle east.  this wont ever work.

You should understand that the world is further up with you. Although, some timid countries in the west like the UK, France, Italy, etc pretend to support you they are afraid any war in the middle east would worsen their economic woes.

The usa is only resorting to bulling and intimidating. I am sorry none of this will ever work. You really lost your important place in world history the very day you attacked Iraq and your subsequent non-senseless killing of innocent civilians in Libya.

  China and Russia dont want you as crucial partners. The south Americans have desserted you for good. The rise of the islamic brothehood in the middle east will see your total and foreover exit in the middle east. Your poor brethens in the west (the uk, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc) are toothless and impotent.

I hope that Iran does close it.  My Exxon stock will go way up and I will make more money. If there is war, my Lockhead Martin stock will go way up and I will make good money there too.  Also, it will ensure the Keystone pipeline is built. I already have an investment strategy for that as well.

I know South America may not always agree with America 100 percent, but that is super Catholic, Virgin Mary Country.  Unfortunately it boils down to Religion these days.  America has more friends than most people think.

Maya Rodina. Your wrong when you say thumbs downs are given when someone discredits the U.S, but when someone credits them. The comment gets tons of dislikes. I read RT just about everyday, and I've noticed this over and over again.
