Mr. Greene,
As you may have already been aware that our "illustrious" president has vetoed the NDAA budget, which contained I think $612 billion. Our president said we can deal with much less. I am not sure if you made that known in your videos, but I can say that many people had made not that this is rather "apocalyptic" in some way, though many had also said it was a good mood, because he wanted Congress to spend money not just on defense, but on other "economic" things, such as the Unaffordable Care Act, and God only knows what else.
Since you are financial consultant (or, perhaps you were at one time), and a economist, here's the question... If the defense budget bill is much more lower and lower as time goes by and the sequestration takes a firm hold of the military, squandering away the much needed money for our country's defense, would that hinder our influence as a nation towards other nations? Do you think that Iran, or Russia, or even China may attack the US, since they are, for some interesting reason, creating bases closer and closer to our mainlands?
If you have not discussed this topic in a video, I would love for you to make note of it at some point. I think you really have been telling the truth on a lot of things, and I think that this situation in the Middle East may resolved poltically right now, but if things remain the same, that possible political resolution will dissolve like a Alka-Seltzer. It will fizzle away quickly, and then there is no other solution but war.
I went to Western Kentucky University for my BA, and one of the things I remembered in military history class was there is two things needed for the recipe for world war. First, economic instability, whereas we are in that, scary enough, today. The second is political instability, where the economic problems are so bad that the politicians have no idea (possibly also corrupt) what to do on anything besides go straight to war. I am sure you can make more sense than what I have discussed, but that's as far as I can study on political science and economics.. I was a religious studies major, after all.
Once again, thank you for what you do. I appreciate your hard work, and I hope you continue to make more videos. Make them viral, hard-hitting, and in our faces!
