New US intelligence report predicts ISIS will spread worldwide


A NEW US intelligence report predicts the Islamic State terror group will spread worldwide unless it incurs significant losses in Syria and Iraq.

The leaked report, commissioned by the White House prior to the Paris attacks and the San Bernardino shootings, comes on the heels of another huge gain by IS with the assassination of the governor of the Yemeni port city of Aden.

Major General Jaafar Mohammad Saad and at least six of his bodyguards were killed on Sunday when a car bomb ripped through their motorcade. The group’s attacks on Yemen started escalating in October when it started bombing Saudi oil interests.

The incursion on the tiny but strategically important country has frightening parallels with Libya, where Islamic State’s colonisation of Sirte on Libya’s Mediterranean coast has sent shock waves throughout Europe.

He really is a secret Muslim and started ISIS with his dad
You going to play me in quiz up or just ignore me so you don't get beat?

He does want to send troops in Syria. Bush gets blamed for a lot of shit in thatbregion, but Obama is responsible for more regime changes than Bush. He has done more to destabilize that region than anyone else.

I'd hang lybia and Egypt on Obama.
Syria was its own boiling pot no matter.

Not sure they were more impactfull but Syria has been the biggest clusterfuck of them all. There are so many different sides bombing there its just a bomb waiting to explode. If they don't get a handle on it there will be a lot more Turkey/Russia incidents unfortunately.

As bad as Iraq seems, a lot of the problems there stem from people crossing over from Syria. The fact Obama can't call a muslim mass shooting terrorism is disturbing to me.

OriginEdit
United States being the largest importer of crude oil, the world oil market has been priced in United States dollars since the end of World War II.[2] International oil prices were based on discounts or premiums relative to that for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.[3] But, although oil sales prior to 1973 were denominated in U.S. dollars, nothing precluded settlement in local currency.

After the Bretton Woods conference in the year 1944, UK and its allies discontinued linking their currencies with gold but recognised US$ as reserve currency which was still pegged with gold. USA was followinggold standard to benchmark at 35 US$/oz from 1941 to 1971.

In reality, the dollar was not worth of that much gold due to inflation by 1971. In view of other countries particularly France, started tendering US$ to encash in gold, then President Nixon unilaterally cancelled the convertibility of US$ to gold at a fixed rate and allowed US$ value to float against gold. In the absence of fixed value convertibility in gold and high inflation, US$ exchange rate had been falling due to less demand of US$ abroad.[4]

In October 1973, OPEC declared an oil embargo in response to the United States' and Western Europe's support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War, and this tension (and the new power of OPEC) led to fear that the dollar would become insignificant in the oil trade.
