Wise words   31/8/2012

America’s grand literary heritage, as shown by Twain, Whitman, Steinbeck, London and Melville, is embedded in expression of the most powerful ideas in simple language.
Should Mitt Romney win the presidency his victory could well be credited to his unexpected display of this phenomenon in his speech today to the Republican Party convention. In particular, this line:

“President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family.”

Everything’s there: a shared grasp of reality, an understanding of primary values, a distrust of hyperbole and above all, a cutting wit.

    Mitt Romney’s foreign policies led by hawkish prowar neocon lunatics like John Bolton will lead us to WORLD WAR 3 & that will be plain & simple to see just like hearing his speeches. Any preempitive attack against Iran is 100% certain to deliver the final act of the human race (Nuclear holocaust) . In May this year the Russian PM gave the US & NATO the most alarming of warnings.

    Dmitry Medvedev issued the warnings that Russia was reploying high yield nuclear warhead ICBM’s in Western Russia to within striking distance of any target in Europe because of the proposed missile defence shield in Europe. Most alarmingly Medvedev warned Russia was sick & tired of US aggressive policies & hegemony in the Middle East. The Russian PM warned that Russia views any western attacks against sovereign nations that are of vital strategic importance to Russia such as Syria & Iran will be viewed as an attack against Russia itself that will most likely lead to the use of NUCLEAR weapons.

    Russia also intends on keeping its only remaing military base outside the former Soviet Union which is a naval refueling depot in the Syrian port city of Tartus regardless of what happens to its staunch ally in Bashar Al Assad. When war with Iran erupts the middle east will explode into full scale war killing hundreds of thousands in Iran,Isreal & across the region. Watch what that does to OIL prices,global stock markets,the World economy,global terrorism & eventually what will be from the warnings above.
