Reflections by Fidel Castro

I am a news junkie. I have recently bought a new mobile phone and it has newspapers on it that I read assiduously. I love news and I love this way to read stories from many newspapers throughout the USA, Canada, UK, and France. And I love conspiracy theories, stories about ufo's, and other true life mysteries, so I belong to a group called Abovetopsecret which is a forum for all kinds of interesting stories...Tonight one is on a story by Fidel Castro in which he writes a journal called Reflections...He has stated that he believes what would happen to the world in case the USA and Iran and Israel and other allies get into war. He appears to be trying to inform his own comrades in Cuba how to handle this particular problem which will impactthe entire world with food shortages and serious economic reprisals.

The other story alongside that is one about the number of ships that are now being deployed and are surrounding the landlocked nation of Iran. Apparently, many believe that an effort by Israel to strike Iran because of its possible nuclear capabilities is likely to happen within weeks. However, another member posted a list of the various ships in the US Navy and their activities so that rather than warmongering it may be muscle posturing, hoping to get into a position of strength to show Iran that it must come under the UN's mandates or else syndrome. Iran did back out of escorting ships to Gaza because of the fear that the US Navy or Marines might board a ship.

So this is a show of might but many fear that it may lead to retaliation and nuclear warfare. It appears that Castro believes that it will lead to nuclear warfare and most of the members responding to his statements are backing him more than criticizing him.

IMHO, I believe that the USA along with other nations, including Britain, and France, and Russia backing out of the plan to aid and assist plan in some request exercised by the Iranians, means that Iran is being pushed into complying with the UN in stopping its nuclear development.

Most fear that all this excessive amount of force in the region means war, but another newbie member put up a list of ships and their activities so that it looks like maneuvering to show extreme muscle and readiness in case of emergency need. I daresay all this will pass without nuclear war for the time being...someone has suggested that a war would get Barack Obama reelected as no president has not been reelected in time of war...pity that, huh? All wars are created just to retain a president...ridiculous but possible.

At any rate, He can always be a first that way as well...I don't think he has a chance of getting himself re-elected even if he had three wars going at one time...

I am pushing for the idea that the timeliness of the Queen at the UN with her grandson in tow and the show of force are a combination to show the world who is really bossing the world around anyway...

I figure we will have a peaceful resolution to this before very long while mother nature throws another monkey wrench into the works to prove that man is still mighty weak and impotent alongside the real forces of nature...

Let us hope that all the doomsayers are wrong and that peace breaks out all over and stays around for a while...but in the meantime for those who joined the navy and the marines to see the world, how exciting that they get to watch the waters move beneath their mighty ships as they sail from port to port...Join the Navy! See the world! oh how good it is to get back home again! The world was not so great after all...but at least it didn't cost me anything for this free ride...sayeth sailor boy. NO, it only cost the taxpayers!

War is far too expensive...no bodybags please.
