The New American Way of War

[Dari]

Economic Warfare

Our soldiers need a break. They've fought and died protecting the freedom and we are all grateful. Now it's time to get them a hammock, a two case of Budweiser, the Barbie twins, and a slab of ribs for the barbecue pit.

It's time that we put people like me on the frontline. Economists, accountants, CEOs, CFOs, and actuarians need to sharpen their pencils, put on their thinking caps, and get to work.

"To protect freedom?" How so?

The US Government underestimates how much economic muscle we have to carry out our political. The Treasury and State Departments need to create a new agency that specifically deals with economic warfare. This way, US Administrations can punish foreign entities/states by utilizing our economic power, which is 1/3 of the global economy, more efficiently. Lots of ideas can come of this. I've recently sent a letter to both Departments on this topic. I think we can bring about the collapse of entire regions/countries, if we wanted to, by going this route instead of military campaigns. There is absolutely no way we can lose such a conflict. And if we win, our powers become stronger because we'll have more nations to trade with.

Go away, please.

Are you suggesting something along the lines of what was done regarding South Africa?

When foreign nations perceive that fascism is again rearing it's ugly head, this time in the US, they would quickly unite and withdraw all their investements from the US. The oilproducing countries would tie the production of oil to the euro instead of the dollar. The combined effects of these actions would be that the economic might of the US would be a thing of the past.

Obersturmgruppenführer Dari, lead on.

Yes, exactly. Protecting the dollar was one of the main reasons the US invaded Iraq.

My point was that all other oil producing nations would tie the oil [edit: took away "dollar"] to the euro. There is already talk that Russia is about to do so. Now wouldn't that piss Washington off.

You've got a Control problem Dari. Just because you can crush someone, doesn't mean you must. Especially when your modus operandi is spite.
