If you’re paying attention to geo-political and economic affairs at the moment, then you cant’ ignore the gathering storm clouds in Europe.
No one at the White House will officially admit it, but we may well be sitting on the cusp of a widespread conflagration. To suggest otherwise is simply naive. The chess game is, without a doubt, in full swing.
After having threatened Vladimir Putin’s $40 billion personal fortune with asset forfeiture last week, the United States continues to push forward with a variety of sanctions against anyone and any nation believed to be providing material support to pro-Russian interests. This morning the S&P ratings agency, likely with the support of U.S. officials, fired a shot across the bow of the Russian economy by downgrading the country to just above “junk status,” a move likely designed to scare foreign investment interests and bank capital to flee the country.
Russia retaliated almost immediately by proposing a scorched earth policy reminiscent of their tactical withdrawal against the Germans in World War II. In essence, should the United States continue its attack on the Russian economy and individual wealth, the country will begin to divest itself completely of Western influence by withdrawing all dollar and Euro denominated assets, selling investment bonds of any country supporting the sanctions, and engaging in global trade through exchange mechanisms that do not involve the dollar.

If it is just an exercise, I doubt it's cost will top what ReForGer used to cost the US tax payer. ReForGer 83 cost us 2.4 billion dollars.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info and good point.
DeleteI didn't know what ReForGer 83 was, so looked it up - here are some amazing photographs that will show why the price tag was so high. Apparently the last one was in 1993 (under Clinton), and it was a very small operation, using more computer technology, from what I could read quickly.

Thanks. A lot of good pictures and money down the drain. :)
Delete...money down the drain...
ReplyDeleteYup, all to show the Soviets that ours was bigger than theirs - meanwhile in 2014, Russia and China have been preparing on many fronts while America dismantles -- the 'players' are taking their position for the really big show(down). The End-time prophecy folks are having a field day with all of this. Meanwhile Soetoro is playing golf....

DeleteI hope Putin has the balls to tell the NWO, Eurotrash, merikans to make his day. Putin is a leader of his nation and defender of its historical people.
ReplyDeleteObama, Reid---along with various "conservatives" like Beck, Hannity, Rand Paul would like to make Davidian Fried Chicken out of the Bundys and their defenders....including a NEGRO Jason Bullock who would "take a bullet to protect Bundy". They want to burn down Bundy and the Patriots....because they are like Putin....the Bundys and Patriots are willing to defend their country and historical people...
Ok---I've got on my flame suit....but just think about it for a second.....why the hell is John "Amnesty" McCain going to be hosting a gala event for Hillary Clinton??? The right and left wings of the same shit bird big government party. Tells you something when OZero and his henchman Ketchup Man Kerry are egging on a war with Russia....at the same time the sniveling turncoats of Glen Beck and Hannity are egging on a war with Russia....think about it!
Thanks. That was a mouthfull, but nothing I don't agree with.
