I agree with what Soros said.

I never thought I would write that.

Hey, John.

I've been thinking about your take on JFK and the Vietnam War. For some reason, I can't picture him having the same "saboteur" mentality that whoever is running the Biden administration has.

Can you elaborate further on this?

As Taliban Claim Victory In Panjshir, Iran Slams Pakistan Military's Role

This is a turning point. With the Taliban back in control of Afghanistan, Iran is now resetting its foreign policy concerning that region to what it was pre-9/11. This means becoming enemies with Pakistan and allies with India.

Such a reset will have enormous consequences for the existing regional alliances. Once Iran becomes an enemy of Pakistan and an ally of India, it will also become an enemy of China. This in turn will result in the Sunni Arab countries (and possibly Israel and Turkey) allying with China, while also contributing to the inevitable Sino-Russian split.

What will this mean for the US? Potentially, very big trouble. If the Sunni Arab countries (especially the Gulf Monarchies) drift into China's orbit, that would pose a serious threat to the petrodollar, and by extension the stability of the US economy. The US has demonstrated multiple times in the past that it is willing to go to war to protect the petrodollar, so any Chinese attempts to destabilize it could lead directly to a Sino-American war.

I can see this happening. As usual, though, you overestimate the importance of the "petrodollar."

The more interesting thing is why he is writing it - as if you can trust Soros more than the Chinese, lol. I don't trust either. But one thing is certain, the globalists don't have much control over only a few countries at this point, and Russia/Far East are the only ones left (identity, no multicultural subversion largely, etc).

I didn't include Iran and India in my article, but this is a good
analysis and summary of the issues.

I would refer you to my Vietnam book, where I spent multiple chapters
on this subject. I also summarized the information in recent posts in
this forum.

To the point, why are you having such difficulty picturing JFK as
being any sort of bad guy? You seem to be suspicious of all American
politicians, but why are you making an exception for JFK?

JFK was part of the Democrat/KKK culture, which means that he was
tolerant of beating and lynching young black males and raping of young
black girls. Like all Democrats, he was bitterly opposed to the
proposed civil rights legislation that would give basic rights to
blacks that Democrats denied with the KKK and the Jim Crow laws. JFK
treated his wife badly, and had multiple affairs with women working in
the White House. According to news reports, whenever he was "in the
mood," he'd call one of secretaries working there and have her come up
to his bedroom for a quick screw.

So do you really think JFK is a saint?

Let me clarify. I don’t think JFK was a saint. Far from it.

I just doubt that he harbored the same raw contempt for the Republic and its national interests which is clearly harbored by Biden (or whoever is running his administration).

What will happen if the US is unable to go to war to preserve the petrodollar and oil is sold in some other currency or gold instead of dollars? The world just goes on as it is?
