How many years will this Pax Americana hold before one president will be forced to recall them I wonder?
If Iran lasts that long they can have a shot at the title.
Iran has 4 problems
1. an aging population (lots of countries have the same problems)
2. Saudi arabia has basically decided to use its unlimited checkbook to deep fuck them with as much chaos as possible.
3. Their enemies have pipe lines out of the strait Iran doesnt all of their oil has to go that way all you need is one battleship to close the strait and destroy the Iranian economy.
4. They keep poking a great power with the capability to destroy their entire navy and airforce in a week.
Their if anything more dependent on the order the united states created then most countries if we stop protecting their shipping they hurt bad.
