We already passed 1984's prediction of the future: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever" - Divisions by zero

At no point in my lifetime has there not been war going on in the Middle East. Are we going to run out of boots or faces first I wonder? Or will it really just last forever?

At no point in my lifetime has there not been war going on in the Middle East

And every time you look closely, there’s a Burgerland president somehow involved. I wonder if there’s anything we could do…

Not to be a downer, but if the US fell, do you really think there would no longer be oil or other interests in the Middle East? Do you think Israel would simply give up and actually keep a peace treaty just because the American government fell?

I doubt it. If the US were to collapse, the rich who survive would move to other countries, as would the majority of people involved in the military industrial complex. And Israel and others would simply end up buying the same tech from new countries.

Those who profit off the war would simply pay for weapons and propaganda from new nations; the demand would not fall and the supply would rise to meet it. The players might have different names, but I think the wars would go on just the same.

if the US fell, the terrorists called israel would cease to exist.
