WAR & THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS
The World is at the Crossroads of the Most Serious Crisis in Modern History. The US and NATO have launched a profit driven military adventure in the Middle East and Central Asia, which seeks to gain control over more than 60 percent of the World's oil and gas reserves.
US-led military operations are now extending into new frontiers. New US military bases are being constructed.
The economic crisis is intimately related to the war agenda. Financial hegemony is supported by US military might.
