Believe what you want, but I believe the arms race during the Reagan administration was aimed to financially cripple Russia and it worked, my question are the conflicts in Iraq and the middle east, true aim to financially cripple the U.S?
answer:@SQUEEKY2 – with all respect, I disagree. If you’re correct about the mideast conflicts trying to bankrupt the US, then: - who or what country is behind it? - this wouldn’t be a smashing success! Given that the US In the #1 world economy at this point and (with the demise of Russia) will be for years. I think that the major reason for financial problems in the US (2007–2013) was simple greed on the part of big banks and financial institutions. We screwed ourselves.
