As Jim Willie says, and it makes sense, starting a war is the last hope our country has of staying economically relevant because the bankers that run our country have run the dollar into the ground, through infinite money printing. Now that China and Russia want to start a gold backed currency to trade oil, instead of using the dollar, we have to go war to stop them. If we allow them to buy oil in anything other than the dollar, then eventually our dollar, which has been the ONLY global trade vehicle since the 50s, will be dropped like the worthless trash it is, by every country in the world, and it, and our economy, will crash. God help us!
