So?

it's the same arguement we had over Venezuela... our military is superior but they have other ways to inflict pain AND they also have other, bigger, better armed friends... some of whom own an awful lot of our dollars, dollars that would be absolutely worthless if they dumped them all upon the market at once...

that what you want?

other allies of theirs have all our credit card and bank account information, thanks to outsourcing...

want all of that dumped into the black market too?

several of their friends also have nukes... lots of nukes...

did you read the part in the article about the price of oil skyrocketing? are you an oil company exec?
