Iran: How Long Can Debt-laden US Remain World Power?

Map Iran SC Iran: How long can debt laden US remain world power?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted the impending downfall of the “US empire,” blaming the collapse on a combination of the country’s massive debt and its loss of legitimacy within the international community, Iran’s official news agency IRNA reported Thursday.

“How long can a government with a $16 trillion foreign debt remain a world power?” he asked at a press conference with Kuwaiti media personnel. “The Americans have injected their paper wealth into the world economy and today the aftermaths and negative effects of their pseudo-wealth have plagued them.”

He added: “An empire, or a government, remains in power so long as the people under its power support it, but today the Americans have acted in a way that the world nations do not like them at all, and therefore, their international legitimacy is annihilated.”

Ahmadinejad also predicted that the West would soon drop their alliance with the “Zionist regime,” saying that Westerners and US politicians are increasingly “at a loss” as to why Israel exists.

Downplaying the effect of Western sanctions on the Iranian economy, Ahmadinejad said that the Islamic Republic would persevere. “The hegemonic powers have no way [forward], but to change the conditions.” Earlier this month, riots broke out in Tehran in protest of the collapse of the rial currency, which has lost some two-thirds of its value against the dollar in the past 15 months, stoking inflation that is now running at around 25 percent.

    This short, evil little dictator may well have a valid point when he says that America is in trouble…..because right now, we are. He is right about our massive debt, and the trouble it will cause us, IF we do not find a way to repay our debt, and come out of this DEPRESSION we are in. Call it a recession or depression, it is bad either way you slice it or look at it, and it WILL give us problems for years to come. And with the current DISASTER in office, we WILL FALL unless we get rid of him, and his czars, and his liars in arms, and this useless “congress”. For all intents and purposes, we are at war with one another, and this war amongst ourselves is exactly what this DIVIDER IN OFFICE intened from the get go. Divide and CONQUER! This is how A WAR IS WON! And this ENEMY IN OFFICE has deliberately caused this division, this war between the citizens of this nation, and UNLESS we decide to end this conflict, we will go down the road to EXTINCTION as he planned, he and his communist/marxist, mu SLIME partners in CRIME have directed us, while we, like sheep, have followed and obeyed his and their, directives. Yes, some of us have fought this direction, but unless, AND UNTIL, we pull together, FIGHT TOGETHER AGAINST THIS EVIL REGIME, we will do just what THEY WANT US TO DO, DIVIDE AND FIGHT AMONG OURSELVES AND WIND UP RIGHT AT THE SPOT HE AND THEY PLANNED ON IN THE YEARS BEFORE THE 2008 “election”. This was planned, and EXECUTED by these evil monsters who foresaw the future as they willed it to be, and thanks to the uneducated, the intentionally ignorant, stupid population, who in their desire to prove that we Americans are not (oh dear, gasp, swallow, gasp!!!!!) NOT RACIST, for GOD FORBID that we should EVER be considered a RACIST…………AMERICANS RAN WITH ALL THEY HAD TO CAST THEIR PRECIOUS VOTES FOR THE VERY WORST OF ALL CANDIDATES, thus THROWING THIS NATION INTO THE CHAOS THAT IT IS NOW SUFFERING UNDER! This time, 2012, we HAVE GOT TO GET THIS “ADMINISTRATION/REGIME” OF TERRORISTS OUT OF OFFICE! Otherwise, to repeat this worst of all elections, to give this bunch of ENEMIES another chance, another swipe of destruction, will definately, surely, horribly send us over not only a fiscal cliff, but a cliff of complete destruction of America as we have always known her to be, into a SLIME FILLED MU SLIME, ISLAMIC, BETTER NAMED IS SLIME TOXIC HELL OF OUR OWN MAKING! For make no mistake, this SHARIA LAW THAT THIS EVIL, MU SLIME INTENDS TO PUT INTO “LAW”, will MEAN THE LOSS OF FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE! Most ESPECIALLY, FOR WOMEN!!!!!!!!! We will wear those black “garbage sacks” and be under the CONTROL OF THESE SLIMEY, SADISTIC AND ABUSIVE, VIOLENT MU SLIME MEN! I don’t know about the rest of you women out there in America, but I like my FREEDOM AND INDEPENDANCE THAT WAS WON FOR ME AND ALL WOMEN BY THE SUFFERAGETTES SO LONG AGO! These dear women FOUGHT AND SOME DIED SO THAT WOMEN IN OUR NATION COULD BE MORE THAN THE POSSESIONS OF MAN! I do not want to make their lives and deaths meaningless………….DO YOU, WOMEN OF AMERICA?????? You had better open your eyes, and wake up, or we will all be in muc worse shape than we were before our female ancestors fought, bled, were tortured and killed so that we might work, speak freely, and have a LIFE, other than that of a SLAVE TO ANY MAN WHO OWNED US, BLACK OR WHITE, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN, AND WILL BE OUR FATE AGAIN, IF WE ALLOW THIS CURRENT SLAVE MASTER IN OFFICE TO KEEP THIS POSITION OF BLACK SLAVE MASTER AND OWNER OF ALL HE SURVEYS, WOMEN MOST ESPECIALLY! It is not the Republicans who hate and want to abuse the rights of women, it is THIS REGIME OF SHARIAH LAW GIVERS WHO WANT TO DO THIS, AND WILL MOST CERTIANLY DO SO UNLESS WE AS A NATION, AS A UNITED NATION PUT A STOP TO IT ON NOVEMBER 6th, 2012! I am a WOMAN, AND I INTEND TO VOTE FOR AN AMERICAN MAN WHO WILL RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN TO BE WOMEN! He is pro life, but this is his right, as it is our right to be anti, or pro whatever we choose. And being PRO LIFE is the same thing that we all want, PRO LIFE TO LIVE AS WE FEEL! This abortion issue is a diversionary tactic, and in the grand scheme of things, can be worked out later, but right now, it is the LIVES AND FREEDOMS OF ALL OF US WHO ARE AT STAKE! We need to get past the issues and stand together on the BIGGEST PROBLEM WE NOW FACE, THAT OF OUR NATION”S SURVIVAL! The rest, we can deal with later. Our lives are at stake here, if we are dead, then the rest won’t matter.
