第一次世界大戦と言えば、サラエボ事件を契機に云々と教えられましたが、
William Engdahl著 “A CENTURY OF WAR”によれば、
「1914〜1918年の世界大戦に関する秘密の一つは、英国がドイツ帝国に宣戦布告した1914年8月の直前に、英国財務省と英国の金融界が事実上破綻していたということだ」とのことで、英国財務省の高官だったジョージ・パイシュ卿はドイツとの開戦3日前に財務長官宛に戦争資金がない旨の手紙を書いていたくらいだった。
それで急遽、正貨(金・銀)の支払いを停止して、法貨(銀行券)を流通させ、戦争に踏み切った。ただし、これにはモルガン(米)の後ろ盾があり、軍需は米国頼み、戦後、戦利品にてペイする目算だった。結局、覇権は米国に渡ったが。
Iran Said to Have Enough Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon
Posted: 19 Nov 2008 11:10 PM PST
Iran has now produced roughly enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.
The figures detailing Iran’s progress were contained in a routine update on Wednesday from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has been conducting inspections of the country’s main nuclear plant at Natanz. The report concluded that as of early this month, Iran had made 630 kilograms, or about 1,390 pounds, of low-enriched uranium.
Several experts said that was enough for a bomb, but they cautioned that the milestone was mostly symbolic, because Iran would have to take additional steps. Not only would it have to breach its international agreements and kick out the inspectors, but it would also have to further purify the fuel and put it into a warhead design ― a technical advance that Western experts are unsure Iran has yet achieved.
“They clearly have enough material for a bomb,” said Richard L. Garwin, a top nuclear physicist who helped invent the hydrogen bomb and has advised Washington for decades. “They know how to do the enrichment. Whether they know how to design a bomb, well, that’s another matter.”

・・・The Obama administration is accelerating the deployment of new
defenses against possible Iranian missile attacks in the Persian Gulf,
placing special ships off the Iranian coast and antimissile systems in
at least four Arab countries・・・
・・・the countries that accepted the defense systems were Qatar, the
United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait. ・・・“eight Patriot missile
batteries, two in each of four countries.”・・・
Saudi Arabia and Israel have long had similar equipment of their
own.・・・
・・・the United States was now keeping Aegis cruisers on patrol in
the Persian Gulf at all times. ・・・
Gulf countries are also taking steps of their own to harden their
defenses. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have bought more
than $15 billion in American arms in the past two years, including
missile defense systems. The United States is helping support a plan by
Saudi Arabia to triple the size, to 30,000 people, of a Saudi force that
protects the kingdom’s ports, oil facilities and water-desalinization
plants・・・
