It is very logical that, as war with Iran fades into a distant possibility and war in Afghanistan winds down, the USA must find a major war to fight. The USA’s skirmishes with freedom fighters (remnants of Al Qaeda) around the world cannot sustain the arms industry that gives the American people work and feeds a chunk of the USA’s population. The arm industry remains the largest non-governmental employer of the American people, despite most of its major sectors having outsourced their production to third-world countries where labor is plentiful and cheap. Did you know, for instance, that not a single product of Apple’s (Apple computers, iPhones, iPads, and iPods) is made in the USA? I was virtually laughing a moment ago when a report on CNN says that the USA’s government spent 12 billion dollars trying to build a speed train promised by Obama, but the best they could manage after 4 years and 12 billion dollars was 10 minutes faster between states, and that is due to railway repairs :-) It’s okay to laugh...
I will not be entirely wrong if I say that when Obama killed OBL, he killed the goose that lays the golden egg for the USA's arms industry.

Kim’s order came after the United States on Thursday flew two nuclear-capable B2 stealth bombers over South Korea to conduct “deterrence” mission.
