Global Elitist End Game Announced?

What makes you think the US has any intention of propping up the Euro? It's quite possible that the US is quite happy to see it sink into the abyss.

If the EU collapses and it sparks a global war, who do you think will be looked at to save the day?

Who exactly wants the "World Police" to drop bombs on their heads? Don't you think the world actually wants the US war machine to stay the hell away. The US will be looking to unilaterally come in and save the day uninvited, so maybe that would play well for US hegemony, but it wouldn't be the case of the people of the world asking for US help.
 
Let's not forget that a lot of the garbage that European banks bought was known to be garbage by Wall St when it was selling the stuff. I can see the logic in wanting to have America be responsible for the damage inflicted by the fraud that American companies perpetrated - but on the other hand those Euro banks are supposed to be sophisticated. They really should have known better.

It's all a house of cards and the EURO is what is going to collapse it.

Give it about two years, US can pay it all back. In worthless dollars. You want that in trillion dollar bills or via electric fund transfer, if Europe pays the fees for the transfer.

That is not what history has shown. So if oil continues to climb and China invades Canada for the oil sands, who will Canada look for help? France? Pfft.

If China ever did that we wouldn't need to ask the US to come and take the oil sands back. They would do it out of simple self interest and they would restore the situation to the way it is now. But what if the Canadian government were to take over the oil sands and start charging for the oil in Canadian Dollars. Then what? Same thing. The US would come in and take their oil back.
The US owns our oil because they are closer than China and that's the way it is. The US has a huge border with us and an overland route to the oil. Russia would have to cross the Arctic and China would have to cross the Pacific. It's never going to happen, even if the US completely fell on it's arse it would be militarily capable of defending it's oil reserves in Canada against either of those countries having to travel so far. And the US is easily able to defend its oil fields against Canadians too.
Freedom(TM) is never having to ask "please" before you take something.
