Not really. Outside of some air support and advice, we should do very little. This isn't our fight just like it shouldn't have been when we invaded over a decade ago.

Edit: I agree completely that something should be done to stop these animals...just saying it isn't the job of the U.S. More specifically it isn't the job of our troops.

I also like how everyone bitches about us not being the world police -- but the moment ISIS starts to get power everyone's like: America do something!!

I really do think there is still a place for B-52 carpet bombing, Vietnam style. Thats a pretty public response.



Jesus, just for the videos from funker530, I'm down for us bringing in the entire fleet of bombers to drop a couple million tons of armament on the ISIS homebase cities. Just one run after another until they're strongholds are just rubble and grease. Wipe 'em all out. Old men, women, wives, children, IDK, it's a extinction level event that needs to happen with these fricks.

I just don't get why these people surrender to these savages. Fight until your last breath with ISIS, because they're going to humiliate and execute you.

Id like to see us crush them just because a radical muslim should be crushed but ISIS doesn't concern me very much when they behead a journalist. It would be a different ball game if they went into an american city and kidnapped someone. Swiping people from a shithole warzone is easy cake.

I'm just ready for other people and regions to deal with their problems. This seems like the Saudi's and Iran's problem regionally and Syria/Russia as well. While I want the murderous fricks gone, it's time for regions to take care of their own problems.

Nothing will change if we just keep cleaning up other people's messes.

Would be nice if we didn't create them in the fist place.

This is a fact, btw.

Since our economy relies on these nations selling oil in dollars it's sort of our problem.

Motherfricking Petrodollar.

To be fair, Sleepy has a point. It's quite useful to have Saudi Arabia selling their oil in dollars. I do think the value he ascribes the practice to the well being of the US economy is overblown.

The petrodollar may be ending or being usurped fairly soon anyways. Russia and China are making moves in Iran. The impending depression will first happen in Europe and the clear warning will just force us to drill our own oil, environmentalists be damned. We have more than enough to do so. We'll form a little APEC, if you will, (US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, etc) and frick everyone else. Especially the middle east.

That's what I would do if I were Dear Leader.

You think modern medicine and free market capitalism are bad things, when they are, in quantifiable and provable fact, two of the greatest things to happen in the history of mankind. This is based on quantifiable facts regarding man's condition throughout history.


What I'm saying is, you don't know shite about facts.

That's inaccurate.

Modern medicine can be great, and in many ways is, but there is a lot of criticism that can be directed at it.

I totally agree with the surface virtues of capitalism; work hard, get your fill ect. I dig it. And the evidence that supports its success are visible in my eyes, as they were in the eyes of the intellectual critics of the system.

What I'm saying is, you don't entirely understand my views.

Not sure what team Brazil will be on, they're a BRIC nation like Russia, China, and India.

I'm not an expert on the economy, maybe we can ween ourselves off the petrodollar, I hope that we can. From what I've read it won't be quite as simple as you laid out, but maybe it can be.
