i very well remember the days the gata people were called idiots, paranoid and conspiracy nut heads . i also remember the people who did so, those days are not really long ago.

having a balanced opinion on mining and/or pm investing and fiat money doesn't automatically implicate you have that same quality opinion and insides on geo political matters.

to really understand the depth of usa foreign policy is a matter of years of hard study, comparible with collecting your knowledge on investing in junior mining, fiat money and precious metals in particular.

and again these two subjects although somewhat related, don't very often come together in one and the same person, and if so, those opinions are even less often based on the same balanced insights and knowledge on both subjects.

but obviously you don't need that to rally the troops on boards like these and get these green thumbs up.

but does that really garantee your case and opinions are sound?.

au contrair as history shows us over and over again: the more people agree with these popular visions at times, the more unlikely it is, it eventually will carry some real historical value or reference.

history just repeats itself and unfortunately the usa is not an exception, just study periods in history when world leading countries found themselves at that point in time where they are loosing their power and influence over the world around them, and judge for yourself. and then join the discussion.

cheers rose.
