Putin Post-Mortem: "Unipolar Model Of World Is Over... Give Us Our Money"
Vladimir Putin has concluded his lengthy interview having covered everything from "the end of the unipolar model of the world" - i.e. de-dollarization - to US and Europe's responsibility for Ukraine's "full-scale civil war." The Russian leader noted that he's "trying to help Ukraine" but following the loans from the IMF asks "where's our money?" and warned that US sanctions have had little effect on the Russian economy but will have a boomerang effect. The following distills his 120 minute discussion... Putin "expects common sense to prevail."

Wikipedia, like Snopes, is not a credible source of information when the subject matter is Zionist subterfuge. It is crawling with hasbara, of a better caliber than the one who blah blahed here.
Snopes = Soros
i'm sure china (with a mattress bulging with usd) would be happy as hell to help devalue those to nothing. after all they have yuan (which are/were pegged to the usd) which they can print to infinity. go for it boyz! RAFF OUT ROUD!
..or take the long view and slowly sell off US Treasuries to pay for the pipelines and infrastructure.
Nearly free gas would be good in the short term if all the West economies collapsed, but then who would buy their stuff ?
In the next few years the Yuan will rise and China will buy lots of Gold. No hurry.
Many regions will collapse any way and be looking for their support, mergers, and Sugar Daddy.
Putin expects common sense to prevail? Isn't the Obama administration where common sense goes to die?
funwithstocks Putin expects common sense to prevail? Isn't the Obama administration where common sense goes to die?
--
Your comment seems to indicate you think that Putin thinks Obama would prevail. That is why you ask "Isn't the Obama administration where common sense goes to die?." Well, who cares about Obama then?
Perhaps you meant to suggest that Putin has more common sense, thus Putin will prevail. In other words, Obama isn't even in the equation and needs not be mentioned.
Jesus Christ. I can't believe I see so much of this drivel on Zerohedge. Does anyone here really think it matters which stuffed shirt holds the office of President in the United States? Douglas Adams said it best: the office of President exists not to wield power but to distract attention away from it. Far from being the bumbling idiot you describe, the fact that even on Zerohedge pepole are making asshat comments like this prove that Obama is succeeding spectacularly at his job. Wake up, people. Jesus Christ.

I'm pretty sure it's (not) in the shitter.
Someday soon the largest army on earth (armed Americans) is going to have to put their collective foot down...
actually that would be china and russia
obama has neutered the us military
Bullshit. Military spending has increased in the past six years... not decreased.
doesnt matter
we have weak leadership
face the facts
shit... double post
I suppose if you live in a particular fantasy world in which untrained people armed with hunting rifles are going to stand against tanks, airplanes, and infrare sights. We're so fucked it's unbelievable... the "we're going to stage a revolution with the 'ole 30:06" crowd is just desperately clinging to the ridiculous notion that there's hope.
We now know that untrained people armed with hunting rifles *can* *do* and *will* stand against tanks, airplanes and infrare (sic) sights.
USA vs. Iraqi urban insurgents
USA vs. Afghanistan
Still want to argue your point when there is 15 years of direct proof that contradicts you?
You guys are gonna have to lose some weight to compete with the Taliban. Knock off the beer and barbeques and you might stand a chance. And quit smoking too. Taliban don't smoke.
Sure. The insurgents in the ME have long experience with turmoil on their own soil. They also often have access to more mission-appropriate weaponry, including bombs and other incendiaries. There is a much larger cross-section of knowledge and experience in that region of the world into various aspects of guerilla warfare, an area in which US forces have traditionally SUCKED. You're comparing people who have been made tough as rocks thanks in large part to the policies of the western world, who have access to the tools of guerilla warfare, to overfed American systems analysts with hunting equipment that gets used for a few months out of every year.
One other thing: it's to the benefit of the US corporate .gov to let those conflicts in the ME drag on. Where else would they get their boogeyman to justify the surveillance state and insane amounts of $$$ funelled into the MIC? My guess is that if it became politically expedient Iraq and Afghanistan would have been ground to powder over a decade ago.
Your missing a few things. First of all, what about military personel who openly side with thee hypothetical rebels? What about those who secretly side with them? What about demoralized units that just stop following orders?
Also, American gov gets its fuel and supplies domestically; where would they get fuel and supplies in a domestic conflict? Without domestic power grid and supply lines, things would be a lot less one-sided compared to fighting against insurgents when all your supplies are stored outside where the fighting is happening.
He is missing more than that.
Videos all over the internet show self-help ways to build just about anything.
It will be easy, days, for people to learn and tool up. If the net is shut down, people will figure it out. Carpenters, machinists, anyone with a workshop - it's easy to build things.
There will be roving gangs, and also in situ groups defending many locations. Only the criminals had guns in Argentina. In North America (and I intentionally include Canada and Mexico) regular people have guns also.
Once the gangs show up, it will be less than one week before every suburbanite liberal with a Prius is armed and going to the range taking grouping advice from the good 'ole boy "hicks" and "redneck gun nuts".
Protective patrols will form and neighbourhoods will do it themselves.
There are *always* more of them than criminals.
Those government thugs have to go home, drive, go shopping. It would be a tragedy if anything happened to their home or wife while they were at work.
People could simply refuse to do business with them.
"Sorry, your money is no good here."
The weapons will be for the roving gangs and hodlums during the breakdown of the US, whether civil war or currency collapse.
Check Ferfal in Argentina who describes what happens to society when the currency fails.
Checkout the roving gangs that terorized isolated farmers when the Civil War removed all law enforcement capability.
another doubloe post... sorry
If Mr. Putin actually expects common sense to prevail, he's very much an optimist.
50 years of selling out the west for profit, for a tribal cabal to the we are all the same....commmies ... now the moronic western leadership, know-it-alls will have to decide how to destroy the east. WWIII next.
usa suks
I agree with most of what Putin said.
HOWEVER, an Oligarchy BEHIND the state seems to have become the norm internationally. OF COURSE opposing oligarchies point the finger of blame at each other.
There is CERTAINLY an Oligarchy behind the US State. There is CERTAINLY an Oligarchy behind the Russian State.
I differ from Putin in that he objects to targeting the Oligarchs BEHIND the state rather than targeting the SUBJECTS of the state, while I SUPPORT targeting the Oligarchs who are responsible rather than the citizens who are not responsible.
I HOPE Putin targets the Oligarchs behind the US Gov't, US Fed, IMF, etc, while minimizing impact on the US economy in just the same way he says the sanctions against his 'friends' have hurt his friends, without hurting the Russian economy overall.
Avoiding harm to innocent citizens IS A GOOD THING, NOT A BAD THING.
But we know Oligarchs have poor self control... they will harm the little people sooner or later. That is simply what they do.
"Launching" into the memorial day weekend...
Aren't we brimming with pride and hope at the potential "New World Order" opportunities... possibilities... resources... at our disposal for "more people" awaiting...??? Sealed with a kiss and the full endorsement of the Polacks how much more encouraging can it get?
Yes Chuck!
Just don't do anything too stupid to have portions of the Country wiped off the map in the process of making those unlimited opportunities, possibilities and yes "resources" that await ALL of us in the exciting future that lies just ahead!!!

I thought Putin would opine on keeping people ignorant of this:

This way we will always stay ignorant.
There really are some dumbshits on this board now.
We both get down arrows for simply pointing out that a link doesn't work. Pretty pathetic.

Yo Putin Dude! There is no US. You are trying to negotiate with sociopaths from 599 year old inbred bloodlines -- non humans, so to speak. You have to eather run for the hills or fight because they won't stop until they are locked up.
"Putin says he expects common sense to prevail"
A pleasant idea and I certainly hope he is right.
Personally, I think the crony-capitalists and their political minions will burn "their" (sarcasm) planet to a cinder before they acquire "common sense".
my response when i read that was, "in other words, we are fucked!".
Is Putin the next Ronald Reagan?
I sure wish more ZH's would stop putting these world leaders on such a petal stool. That is not the way to get individual freedom and to end corruption at the highest levels.
those that seek to be led,
will always find a Leader.
"petal stool."
you mean like this?

Putin says "put your hands on your hips". Putin says "bend over and grab your ankles". Putin says "squeal like a pig"....."enjoy".....Putin didn't say "enjoy".........
"If the corrupt corporate "leadership" and their political puppets in D.C. can't pull there collective heads out of their asses, America will just be just as corrupt as Russia soon..."
I think the time has long passed since any other course is possible. It's unlikely there'll be any going back.
While you guys are actively masturbating here, Russians are dying in mass in Ukraine
putin has it easy, so does china. they are the ones being attacked. the attack unintemtionally(really?) reinforces the shanghai cooperation organization's point that a multipolar world is needed to prevent rogue elements from disrupting the system, currently the role played by the usa. that is why they make sense and look heroic during the assault upon their sovreignity. the current events remind me of the "trouble" the british empire began to have with their colonial subjects. like the usa today the brits became more paranoid about threats only to fuel more threats to be paranoid about until it all ended in a mind blowing bankers' climax during and after ww2 with the brits violently raped.. the same scenario is shaping up for the usa(as it did for the ussr, also).
>>>>shanghai cooperation organization's point that a multipolar world is needed to prevent rogue elements from disrupting the system, currently the role played by the usa. that is why they make sense and look heroic during the assault upon their sovreignity.
I've had vaguely pro-Russian sentiments for decades, but the biggest reason I like Putin is that he is willing, and able, to make the US "elite" look like the low-talent assholes they actually are. FWIW I attended a Famous Ivy-covered US university, and I am pretty familiar with low-talent US assholes.
Listening to Pooty always makes me miss when America had a dick to swing. Oh well, I believe yankees are stupid enough to put billary in office, then you will I suppose.
Go easy on me mate FoneStar will ya?
You have to say the 'B' word three times for Fonestar to appear.
Putin's interview is ignored by American MSM.
American MSM is being ignored by Americans.
The first line is true. The second is true only for truly intelligent, well-informed, and objective Americans. There are still a great majority of Americans who take US MSM false reports at face value.
Did anyone see a teleprompter there --- anyone? anyone?
I don't see a teleprompter --- how does he do that --- how can he talk and make sense without a teleprompter?
What a genius he must be
