President Obama To Reiterate "Sell Russia" Call, Discuss New Sanctions - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Despite Russia's scoffing at the extent of the West's sanctions and Ukrainian politicians seemingly resigned to the fact that Crimea is lost (and wanting some compensation), we are sure President Obama will want to reset the narrative. As Jay Carney noted earlier in the week, we suspect a broad-based "sell Russia" recommendation will be issued along with threats of more "costs" and strongly worded language...

I wonder what Obama will do when it is Estonia´s turn to be pushed around.  Something like 30% (more?) of their population speaks Russian.

And Estonia is in NATO IIRC...

It amazes me when I still see Obama-Biden 2012 bumber stickers.  Either these people are too stupid to see that Obummer has been a massive failure or they are too lazy to remove the sticker.  Neither would surprise me.

Maybe on the outside but not on the inside.

After WW II we did business with the Russians...the Dams in Ukraine (rebuilt in the 1950's) generated electricity with brand new GE turbines. Russian Mig-15's were running on Rolls Royce jet engines.

I believe what the spokesperson said was sell SHORT Russia...meaning "make money while we collapse the Russian economy." Again...are we at war with the Russian people? How does it serve any purpose to get us out of our "booming economy" by destroying their's?

This only incentivizes further conflict and doesn't strike me as being part of any constructive dialogue. In other words "why not make it about Putin?" They don't have a draft...we don't either (at least yet)...it's pretty obvious who carried out the "incursion" ...so now we are "targeting" the entire Russian economy?

How does this help our friends the Ukrainians?

It is sooo F'd up. People really do believe that things are going ok. It friggin kills me.

So I guess all the propaganda really works. they can lie cheat/ manipulate and steal..right out in the open these days, and almost nobody gives a flyin FLl CK.

 

These people/sheeple all get what they deserve, I just wish I wasn't gonna be getting it too. Heck , I've been shoutin from the rooftops for the past 8 years (once I pieced it together)..and I look like the retarded tinfoil hat wearing freak? It aint fair, but there plan is friggin perfect.

 

Ya know what?.. I used to hope that the whole thing came crumbling down, just so I cld say "I told ya so, you dumbasses, but ya didnt wanna hear it.."

But guess what?.. when it crashes down..they'll have a perfect excuse as why it did, and a perfect solution for it.

And all the fucktard sheeple (with heads in sand now), will STILL have heads in sand. Why on earth  would anybody expect the "masses to finally wake up" afterwards, when its painfully obvious (with all the proof that you'd ever need) RIGHT NOW?

 

Nobody gives a rip. Nobody WILL give a rip.. It'll be Bushes fault, or Putins fault, or the evil chinas fault, or terrorisms fault, or homophobes fault.

God damn humans are a stupid breed.

Nice job destroying NASA and soon the military Obama. The US has become a massive welfare state. Bankrupt just like your home town, Chicago. Chicago's becoming a Detroit. Chicago can't do enough to encourage people to leave. Chicago's mayor wants to raise property taxes again and  fees as well.

People are leaving Obama's home state because there is no hope for it. Illinois is pushing to raise taxes for retirees and workers. Ever-increasing taxes for pay for ever-increasing public pensions.

The "Strategic Brilliance" of Putin is oversold.

He screwed up big time.  He made himself look like Hitler, substituting 'Crimea' for Sudetenland and "The Russian People" for "The Aryan Race".

He can still save himself and us a lot of unnecessary trouble by waiting until after Ukrainian elections to accept Crimea's petition, and singing a song of "Human Right to Self-Determination".

UNLESS...

He really just wants the gas infrastructure in ALL of East Ukraine (Kharkov, Donetsk, etc) and is just waiting for a pretext to seize more territory.

You need to remember most Russians think of Ukraine as a region in Russia, whose independence and right to self-determination is provisional at best - kind of like your 16 year-old-daughter. 

Putin is the kind of guy who just wants to be his daughter's (Ukraine's) pimp, and is acting to prevent another pimp (EU) from moving in.
