Some cheery words

Richard hits it out of the park with a view forward to our (possibly) dystopian future. From The Belmont Club:
Your Card Has Been Debited
Since it is unlikely that Dr. Henry Kissinger has been lurking on this site any similarity between Kissinger�s recent observations and the familiar analysis of nuclear weapons offered here on the Belmont Club must be due to an earlier shared source. Dr. Kissinger is reported as saying on the BBC that what 7 American Presidents spent 40 years preventing may now have been achieved by the current incumbent.
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has warned that a crisis involving a nuclear Iran is in the �foreseeable future��

The consequences of Tehran�s programme, he said, would be that other countries in the region would also want nuclear arms.

�The danger is that we could be reaching a point where nuclear weapons would become almost conventional, and there will be the possibility of a nuclear conflict at some point� that would be a turning point in human history,� he said.
That�s right. The world isn�t going to buy everyone a Coke. And the earlier shared source? Why a hundred year old book which claims that reality eventually punctures fiction. �For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.� And separately, �for they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.�
Richard then brings up the succession of power in Argentina and the huge housing bubble underway in China. We seriously need some adults in the room if we are to weather the next decade with any measure of financial security. Posted by DaveH at March 6, 2013 8:07 PM
