Putin Advisor Proposes "Anti-Dollar Alliance" To Halt US Aggression Abroad
It has been a while since both Ukraine, and the ongoing Russian response to western sanctions (which set off the great Eurasian axis in motion, pushing China and Russia close together, and accelerating the "Holy Grail" gas deal between the two countries) have made headlines. It is still not clear just why the western media dropped Ukraine coverage like a hot potato, especially since the civil war in Ukraine's Donbas continues to rage and claim dozens of casualties on both sides. Perhaps the audience has simply gotten tired of hearing about mixed chess/checkers game between Putin vs Obama, and instead has reverted to reading the propaganda surrounding just as deadly events in the third war of Iraq in as many decades.
However, "out of sight" may be just what Russia's political elite wants. In fact, as VoR's Valentin Mândr??escu reports, while the great US spin and distraction machine is focused elsewhere, Russia is already preparing for the next steps. Which brings us to Putin advisor Sergey Glazyev, the same person who in early March was the first to suggest Russia dump US bonds and abandon the dollar in retaliation to US sanctions, a strategy which worked because even as the Kremlin has retained control over Crimea, western sanctions have magically halted (and not only that, but as the Russian central bank just reported, the country's 2014 current account surplus may be as high as $35 billion, up from $33 billion in 2013, and a far cry from some fabricated "$200+ billion" in Russian capital outflows which Mario Draghi was warning about recently). Glazyev was also the person instrumental in pushing the Kremlin to approach China and force the nat gas deal with Beijing which took place not necessarily at the most beneficial terms for Russia.
It is this same Glazyev who published an article in Russian Argumenty Nedeli, in which he outlined a plan for "undermining the economic strength of the US" in order to force Washington to stop the civil war in Ukraine. Glazyev believes that the only way of making the US give up its plans on starting a new cold war is to crash the dollar system.
As summarized by VoR, in his article, published by Argumenty Nedeli, Putin's economic aide and the mastermind behind the Eurasian Economic Union, argues that Washington is trying to provoke a Russian military intervention in Ukraine, using the junta in Kiev as bait. If fulfilled, the plan will give Washington a number of important benefits. Firstly, it will allow the US to introduce new sanctions against Russia, writing off Moscow's portfolio of US Treasury bills. More important is that a new wave of sanctions will create a situation in which Russian companies won't be able to service their debts to European banks.
According to Glazyev, the so-called "third phase" of sanctions against Russia will be a tremendous cost for the European Union. The total estimated losses will be higher than 1 trillion euros. Such losses will severely hurt the European economy, making the US the sole "safe haven" in the world. Harsh sanctions against Russia will also displace Gazprom from the European energy market, leaving it wide open for the much more expensive LNG from the US.
Co-opting European countries in a new arms race and military operations against Russia will increase American political influence in Europe and will help the US force the European Union to accept the American version of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, a trade agreement that will basically transform the EU into a big economic colony of the US. Glazyev believes that igniting a new war in Europe will only bring benefits for America and only problems for the European Union. Washington has repeatedly used global and regional wars for the benefit of the American economy and now the White House is trying to use the civil war in Ukraine as a pretext to repeat the old trick.
Glazyev's set of countermeasures specifically targets the core strength of the US war machine, i.e. the Fed's printing press. Putin's advisor proposes the creation of a "broad anti-dollar alliance" of countries willing and able to drop the dollar from their international trade. Members of the alliance would also refrain from keeping the currency reserves in dollar-denominated instruments. Glazyev advocates treating positions in dollar-denominated instruments like holdings of junk securities and believes that regulators should require full collateralization of such holdings. An anti-dollar coalition would be the first step for the creation of an anti-war coalition that can help stop the US' aggression.
Unsurprisingly, Sergey Glazyev believes that the main role in the creation of such a political coalition is to be played by the European business community because America's attempts to ignite a war in Europe and a cold war against Russia are threatening the interests of big European business. Judging by the recent efforts to stop the sanctions against Russia, made by the German, French, Italian and Austrian business leaders, Putin's aide is right in his assessment. Somewhat surprisingly for Washington, the war for Ukraine may soon become the war for Europe's independence from the US and a war against the dollar.

hmmmm 2 Rockefeller related deaths in a week. First the grandson in a plane crash and now an advisor....I wonder...
This death took place in 2009
ahahahaha, go back home US with all your printed money !
Hey Putin attacking the dollar will make things worse and drive more invasion and resource theft, a better response would be to rat out all the Soviet era warmongering leftist traitors in your back pocket in the US govt.
Russia is ex-Communist you don't owe American traitors any loyalty in fact you owe them a lil payback, they're overdue for some bullets to the back of the head.
The sad and almost-always-overlooked fact of world politics is this:
EVERYONE is now a National Socialist (NAZI).
Some (Russia/China) started their treks as International Socialists (a.k.a. Communists).
Some started as Nationalists who adopted socialism (UK & US).
Some were NAZI from the beginning, or as soon as they cut their Absolute Monarchs' powers, and then learned in WWII to keep their international policy covert (European Continent).
But the hysterical wails of "NAZI! NAZI!" are comical if you actually examine countries real policies.
They are all Nazi's.
Smitty, get off the whiskey man.
Why would he do that? Those retread hippies are doing far more damage to the US while they are in charge.
China is up to its ears in corporate bond borrowing of US T; (14 T ?); so Putin's best short term choice is EU.
The divide and ruin neo-con strategy now enters a crucial state where the EU will have to either opt for FED led monetary hegemony at their cost or Putin led revolt--with as downside the Gazprom preeminince and increased exposure to MIC of Putin as collateral risk.
EU can't win on all fronts. As it is internally divided north and south and bailed out by ECB plays; as well Merkel vs Cameron stand off for determining if Anglo banks get saved in the eventual but inevitably planned banking "bail in" type reset.
All western monetary lines are now in the eye of the cyclone depending on how the geo politics play out in 2014/2015. No monetary construct ($:euro:£:yen) is safe haven. Nor is the proverbial Jerusalem of western wealth, the WS asset class of DJ/NASdaq stocks, a true safe haven.
Things are moving very fast in ME, as the cracks appear in US Oligarchy; on budget and foreign policy; on how to maintain its MIC cum monetary hegemony.
The real power in Europe does not lie in the House of Brussels, nor in the national capitals.
It lies in the House of Rothschild.
AND...
The real power in the US does not lie in the White House.
It lies in the Rockefeller House.
Before you form ideas of the future course of the game, you must take into account who the real players are.
FWIW, indications from previous G8 meetings are that there are some real divisions in how the Rockefellers and Rothschilds see the world.
Rockafella+Red Shield=The Two Big Players.
House of Rothschilds and house of Rockafellas may be part of the equation.
What you have to understand is that the current capitalist system has attained permanent instability à la Minsky moment.
Which means neither JPM, nor the squid, nor the FED, nor the ECB, can really plan and predict the future. So all this planning the future is beyond all the key financial players.
Systemic risk and instability is so high that few players are hedge units, most are speculative and SOME big ones are totally PONZI, based on Minsky's definition of financial institutes when the debt factor becomes CRUCIAL; as today.
When the oil price hits 125 + on a consistent basis, when the interest rates hit 3/4% without ability to come down, we will be on the financial Titanic facing the berg. No amount of money creation will then save the system.
The geopolitical developments today unfurling in front of our eyes add fuel to the fire on the financial Titanic.
It is clear that when things get so rough and unstable the cohesion amongst former Oligarchy allies becomes divisive when thieves fall out. We are there on the ME-Pax Americana coalition front.
Thus those Oligarchy decision makers will be dead meat like all of us when the boat hits the rock. (Maybe less so as they will survive with some of their huge wealth, not so us.)
I call disinfo on this. The house of Rothschild has survived since the 1600's and I would imagine long before that date, but unnamed in history.

I have relatives in Russia.
They say there are three camps in Russia right now:
1) Putinites
2) The "Everything Russian Is Bad" crowd.
3) Everyone else.
Number 3 is the target of both official and unofficial oppression, jailing, vandalism, harrassment, etc.
I know that no one will want to hear this:
Before you present Russia as a Utopia you should know that things are different and more restrictive there as a Russian Citizen than as a visitor. Many of the new so-called "Police State" activities people are upset about in the US are long standing policy in Russia.
For one thing you have to have both 'Internal' and 'External' passports. You cannot leave your registered home town without the 'internal' passport.
And as bad as the Dollar is, it has been much more stable over time than the Ruble. This is why ordinary Russians keep alternate currencies in the Bank of Sealy. The ones who didn't got wiped out in 1925, 1946, 1985, and 1998.
If you are looking for the Russian Government to give you a currency that is not manipulated for their benefit in EXACTLY the same way that the US manipulates the Dollar - history would suggest you will have a LONG, LONG, LONG wait.
Okay, put me in front of the firing squad now! We don't need no stinkin' reality! I know...
whoever said Russia is a utopia? I have no doubt there are internal restrictions in many facets of life there. Most here are just against the Anglo-Americans (or "West" or whatever you want to call them) constantly poking and prodding, and then poking and prodding some more.......followed by massive squeals of horror when the bear swipes a paw back in anger.
Really just a circus bear now... No teeth fat and lazy...
This is a lie, which makes it entirely possible that everything else you say is, too.
In Germany you're required to have your ID with you! Always. If not, you will be fined and you will have to produce it at a police station near you. Not exactly "forbidden", but is seen as minor offence, and it'll cost you.
Another one: the police can stop and frisk you anytime - feet, bike, car, doesn't matter. They can search your car anytime they want, no need for a search warrant. I understand this upsets many constitutionalists in the US. But in western Europe these things are standard for a long time. I'm not saying I like it, but it is like it is. So I think this guy didn't lie, he just lacks of vocabulary (?)
The comical aspect of this article is... what will Iran do? Does Iran follow Russia's lead? Where will that take them?
"For one thing you have to have both 'Internal' and 'External' passports. You cannot leave your registered home town without the 'internal' passport."
Are you serious? This was during the communist era. Surely not now?
that is the goverment issued ID.
all the european countries have this system.
but i do not think anybody here says russia is freer than US. they are very blunt in their controls, they do not have the subtility others have.
the russians do not know what democracy is; they never really experienced it.
and their more democratic minds made huge mistakes. at the last presidential elections the oposition's candidate was the chess champion GK; but that guy has one little problem: he is married to an american and lives in NY.
do you remember the ukrainian opposition leader, the boxer ? he was the face of the last ukrainian revolution. he even declared his intention to be contender for president. but then he gave up. why ? he is resident in germany.
what do you think the american people will say if an american candidate lives in moskow and is married to a russian woman ?
USA is still the dream of poor people in the world.
"Before you present Russia as a Utopia..."
This is one of the great misunderstandings mentioned by some people on ZH. Just because a lot of people here agree with certain actions taken by Putin or get a kick when he humiliates Obama (who wouldn't ;-)) etc does not mean they are supporters and followers of Russia and Putin. These same folks are smart enough to know a bit about Russia and its corruption etc.
What you are seeing is an anti-Obama reflex, not a pro-Putin reflex.
We call your checkmate and raise you $600B a year china trade surplus, game set match, the Chinese would eat their children for a buck.

Wow, now that took balls. I would imagine this will get traction. The US bankster war-machine has made too many enemies for the dollar hegemony to last.
But of course Russian/Chinese hegemony is invncible.
It was always about getting rid of the dollar and because of this Russia will not step in to stop American backed nazis from murdering lots of innocent civilians in the Ukraine. Hopefully the criminals behind all this in Washington will end up in jail.
"Hopefully the criminals behind all this in Washington will end up in jail."
In your dreams. Hell will freeze over twice before anyone is DC is held responsible for such actions.
Well they have a very long way to go to catch up with what Russians have been doing to them for the last 100 yrs or so.

Comes down to this:
How much do you want it to cost following bad advice, policy, and planning. It doesn't matter how old the policy is. It does go back to the post WWII when George Kennan and the Dulles brothers and certain soon to be dispossesed military industrialists. Even before. But look at the anti-communist film noire and you will see the propaganda machine running full tilt. Now look look at Jack Ryan "Shadow Recruit" and there is absolute continuity in this nuevo cold war pump and dump.
Draw a line people. The legacy crap, the sheer weight of the overhang, cascade failure imminent. Whose will are you following? Why?
Dump Nudelman, Kagen, Soros, Koch Bros., Zionists, Neocons, Brzezinski, NGO's, Georgia Guidestone Group, Janus Scholars, Wolfowitz. Stop following the Rich: they got that way by leading you by your nose ring! They think they're cute by using war as a way to euthanize swaths of peoples. Reverse Citizens United, No to TPP, No Agenda 21.
We can excape our problems through another door. The door is innovation.
As we all look to someone to save us from this mess, just keep one thing in mind.

I am for a currency based on blowjobs and cheeseburgers. All you need... (stole it from Doug Stanhope).
The US government could easily vaporize all Treasury notes in Russia's possession, and they could also void dollars held electronically by Russian banks. Only physical notes would remain, but not for long.
Although destroying dollars would technically be deflation, no one wants to hold a currency that turns to dust at a politician's whim. There would be a worldwide mad dash to convert dollars and dollar obligations to hard assets at any price.
Please tell me the Obama administration isn't stupid enough to even consider such a move.
That is a funny comment. Very 'american' Very wrong.
One reason 'americans' want their hands on the State is that they want to be protected from the negative actions performed by a State.
As long as 'americans' are on the good side of 'americanism', they do not care.

We will reset. Soon.
You, US citizens, have a problem with the debt. The debt will not be wiped out by abandoning the dollar.
Your government will have to spark an all-out war, to dump the unpayable debt.

" Glazyev believes that the only way of making the US give up its plans on starting a new cold war is to crash the dollar system."
This is absolute fact. No words are more true than these. The entire US world domination and empire system rides on a printable dollar that retains it's store of value even though printed in it's trillions out of thin air. Do you imagine the Raw POWER, that being able to print your wealth gives you. Over say nations that must produce and sell in order to gain reserves and tax revenues. Whereas the USA simply needs to print it's consumer dollars, and to print it's 1 trillion plus a year in military and spy spending. This is unprecidented in human economic history that one nation shall enjoy unlimited wealth based on the simple printing of green paper.
Not only Russia, but China and other Bricks pick up the burden of this dollar system, when everything sorts out in the financial world, the dollar printing ends up as a burden for producers.
They crash the Dollar and it will start a hot war, not a cold war. Why do you think the US went into Iraq (Saddam selling oil to Euros) and they took down Libya (the gold backed Dinar idea).
They will not give up their cash cow that easily....
Or if crashing the dollar is the plan to shake the world and bring in a *new* world currently. One step closer to the NWO. Everyone is playing their part.

I an a dumb bull. But I an glad to know that I an not the dumbest commenter at ZH.
Two urgent questions:
Poroshenko says he has ordered a cease fire. Can he successfully override the CIA operatives occupying an entire floor of his security building? Or will he confirm his status as a powerless puppet?
If the US imposes a selective default on Treasury securities held by Russia, as suggested by Mr. Glazyev, will that trigger the default provisions of all the credit default swaps outstanding on US debt? Or will some kind of weasel be arranged, as was the case in Greece?
That is a good question. Since the US calls the shots, the Cease Fire is probably part of the US plan. Remember, this cease fire is short and only to allow the Self Defense Forces to surrender and for civilians to leave. After the cease fire, the Kiev leader will delcare a free fire zone, and the killing will escalate.
Da Kyiv's Forest Nazi death squads have executed surrendered unarmed, wounded, hospital staff, people on streets and Ukraine troops refusing orders to attack civilians.
Expect execution and worse for any Self Defense that lay down arms.
All CDO's are calculated on the premise that defaults will NEVER occur. In the case of Greece and probably Russia and any other sovereign default, it will be declared that it is not a default event for purposes of CDS. Presto...CDS are revealed (again) as another bankster scam. The joke's on you.
Between the fine intellectual legacy that was forming in the early years of the American nation and the great leaps of Silicon Valley it would have been expected to see a great nation that would have rightfully claimed its place alongside such entities as the Roman and Byzantine Empires.
Unfortunately, the desire of American business to infiltrate, dominate and subjagate every financial sphere required the presence of the US army in all corners in order to advance and impose that agenda.
The rest is a sorry history of money printing, destruction of its monetary system and an ever growing list of US enemies.
If this is how one goes about establishing one world government then this planet will truly become the planet of the äpes". Or are we there already?
the united states is the number 1 terrorist organization in the world, in part because its state department, intelligence squid, and presidency are owned lock stock and barrel by citizens of the number 2 terrorist organization in the world - israel.
thus, to protect itself, the people of the world must renounce the dollar, and take protective measures against these blood thirty murdering thugs.
"Russian companies won't be able to service their debts to European banks" ?
Is that a sanction or a blessing ?
One minute warning to the America people.

Tata mines a lot of ore in Wyoming for rare earth metals, and ships the ore to India for processing. Processing ore in the US is too expensive, and way too regulated. Mining Act of 1872 claims are pretty cheap, and you don't need to be a citizen to make a claim.
Oil leases are a bit more expensive.

What a colossal waste of time and energy.
They're only worthless Obama dollars after all.
Considering the consistent buffoonery and laughable fiduciary conduct of the current American regime versus competent opposition... odds are that the dollar will have significantly less commodity value in international trade very soon.
Most of us have been expecting this for years and have prepared accordingly. A prudent strategic focus for each of us may be to develop plans to counter probable legislative and regulatory measures which will be sold as being necessary to "save the nation" but in reality will be implemented to "protect" the crony-capitalists and their political minions from economic hardship.
The Russians may be able to block the US and NATO from doing more international damage, however they will not be riding to Main Street America's rescue.
We will have to save ourselves.

They overthrew a Sovereign government and murdered its Leader. With Extreme Prejudice. Their crimes must be stacking up to Heaven itself with the stench of Death. The utter corrupuption of the USG is astounding.
Stunning is an understatement. We have been saying for 2 yrs that Obama& Hillary were running guns to the enemy. Didn't know the gang of eight involved but that damn well explains congress not wanting investigations. This is treason in the highest degree. Stay alert, the insane are running the asylum & things are spinning out of control.
If we extrapolate from there, we know where ISIL got their weapons. Now, are they rogue,, or are they directed by an intelligence service. Do not forget the Prime Directive of the west: stamp out all arab nationalism. Of course, ISIL is more sharia-based, but they do intend a Caliphate in the Levant. One opposed to Iran.
In a normal paradigm, I would know what is going on; with the Senior Advisor to the POTUS being a natural-born Iranian, all bets are off.
The only thing I am 100% sure of is the POTUS is not an American nor loyal to America.
With POTUS himself having only a half-page cv, it is not unrealistic to assume many others in the administration are equally uneducated except in ideology.

You are wrong the US social security numbers are printed in London. By law the US is a bankrupt institution and her agencies collect tax money on behalf of the crown.

He's being polite. I would have phrased it: "Only way to stop the murder and plunder."
Too many people it appears a struggle is occurring to unseat America as the words most dominate nation. Too many proud Americans who see the world from the unenlightened and possibly undefendable position the United States has a right to be in control it is both threatening and frustrating to see control slip away.
It is threatening to think the country might quickly fall to the position of a second rate power mired in debt with many of the options we have come to see as our right suddenly ripped away. It is frustrating that in many ways the country has become its own worse enemy guilty of political inaction and squandering its power through a series of bad choices and missteps. More on this shift in power and our best response in the article below.

I think the point of High Tide was the US failure to attack Syria; Russia did a Mexican Standoff and the Bath House blinked.
There was a tremendous amount of hostility in the armed forces unreported by the pravda media.
Sounds like a good plan. Good for US tax payers as well, because hyperinflation will be a powerful wake up call for the vast majority of clueless voters and supporters of the phony political parties in a phony democracy.
Many African, Asian, and South American countries do not have a favorable view of the US. China might be a little ambivalent due to the amount of dollar assets that it will need to get rid of to avoid massive losses. It will take a few years at least.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/1624/Perceptions-Foreign-Countries.aspx
Absolutely wrong.
Wrong about what and how?
You argued that S. American, Asian, and African countries have an unfavorable opinion of US and this isn't true/supported by external data you presented. Do you travel globally on an annual basis and have firsthand notion of this?
So the 'facts are irrevelant' crowd is out tonight.
Maybe you've been looking for evidence in all the wrong places.
In Asia, people of China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Burma, N.Korea (and to some extent S.Korea and Japan), Thailand, Cambodia, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan etc harbor strong resentment of the US government.
That's well over HALF of the Earth's human population already!!
In South America, Venezuela, Brazil (a BRICS country), Argentina, Cuba, and Bolivia have long resented US bullying and meddling. That's well over two thirds of S. American land mass AND population.
You use Gallup poll? You are embarrassing yourself. That's for sheeples.
So Russia wants to avoid any conflict in Ukraine with the US/NATO but is building up massive ground forces and support logistics at several points along the Ukrainian border and is massively escalting its forces in the Arctic that Swedes and even the Finns are worried and asking for closer coordination with NATO (something these 2 countries almost never did especially the Finns who always were careful to tread a fine line during the Cold War and not escalate threat of Soviet invasion).
If this was Stalin and Communist USSR, I'd be alarmed. But it's not. Most of us on ZH are far more alarmed and threatened by the warmongering, zionist ,globalist, Orwellian totalitaririan police state that we have here in Amerika.
It utterly baffles me that here is apparently a majority here who thinks that Putin isn't just a classic Russian strongman/dictator who has stolen hand over fist and anyone who vehemently disagrees with him in power is either killed/strongly encouraged to emigrate/lives a very embattled live in Russia. The only fundamental difference with Putin is that he won't let Western financial institution screw over his people and instead it will be him and his cronies.
Look at a bust of Augustus Ceasar.

'I have no choice but to prepare for war ' Quote is from Putin
Craziness in Ukraine is big and growing. Russia does have forces, and is assembling them, near its western borders. The simple fact does not make it wrong to do.
There are a lot of reasons for Russia to be concerned about its border with Ukraine.
The T64 tanks with reactive armor crossing from east to west were almost certainly Ukrainians attempting to create the impression of Russian intervention.
Russia stopped using T64 tanks long before anyone started retrofitting older tanks with reactive armor. Ukraine kept using them.
My information is that the oldest tank Russia retrofitted with reactive armor were T72s.
But there are a lot of reasons to be concerned about Russia massing forces on its western border - not all of which is next to Ukraine.
There is nothing to do but watch and see what the Russians do there.
There are no governments made of Angels on any side of any border.
Imagining that some government wears a white hat, speaks only truth, and genuinely has the best interests of humanity at heart is - to put it politely - naive.
Mr. Sergey Glazyev,
The American people are severely deceived by omission. Please do them a great favor by showing them these histories:

what US president was CIA ?
ANSWER TO Question Number 1: George Bush Jr.
ANSWER TO Question Number 2: George Bush Sr. ... Sort of.
George Bush Senior was in the CIA in the same way that Obama was in the Army. He was placed directly at the top as a result of political influence.
Imagining that the GB Senior knew CIA tradecraft by virtue of his political appointment is exactly as believable as imagining that Clinton or Obama became military experts by virtue of their appointments.
I can't say that Putin's advisor is wrong. According to former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts, the Obama Administration is planning a nuclear first-strike on Russia:

Neocons are going to fuck the entire human race for profit. Karl Marx was absolutely right on his prediction.
A launch decision is easier when you have fully provisioned taxpayer funded shelters for "public servants" and their families to ensure the continuance of government thuggery.
Khrushchev said something similar.

Hillary during town hall on CNN about guns, but listen to what she actually said-
"we can not allow a minority of people to have a view point that terrorizes the majority."
So anyone who even dares to think different than the official government line is a terrorist. FASCISM IS HERE.

Not to worry.... Hillary can't win. Everybody hates her.
...well, unless the person she runs against is hated even more - a distinct possibility.
Stalin: It doesn't matter how many votes you get, what matters is who counts the votes.
If Diebold says Hillary wins, then she wins.
Ahh, Diebold, the voting fraud machines. GW Bush got plenty of help from them, and then the Supreme Court. Hmmmm, should we still call that a court?
RE: "America's attempts to ignite a war in Europe and a cold war against Russia are threatening the interests of big European business."
America threatens all interestes except Wall St and corporate Amerika. Screw everyone else.
Glazyev is brilliant.
Check. Fucking. Mate.
Russian supremacy propaganda, combined with US citizens division. Do start praising Putin and bash the stupid Obama, but remember: the Russian propagandists are playing until US will be in its knees. Not for the good of US. This is a grand game played by a frustrated KGB officer to win.
The Ribbentrop-Molotov pakt was signed again between Russia and China this time to split the world. Russia never admited it allied with Hitler to start the WW2, never admited to invade neighbouring countries and destroy their societies, never admited the Holodmor and other atrocities in which tens of millions of "enemies" were imprisoned, tortured and killed. Right now the Russians will say that the CCCP is different than Russia, but there isn't much difference in methods and targets.
you are right Razvan.
Russia did not invade the eastern european countries. you know very well, they were offered at yalta by churchill.
before russia got close and friendly with hitler there were 2 other contries that did everything to appease hitler just a couple of years before: uk and france. do you remember ?
the russians killed i think more people than hitler, but was stalin russian ? was hrusciov russian ? was lenin russian (look at his face and then tell) ? i think brejnev was russian but he was born in...ukraine too.
do you think russia was the only country invading other countries ?
the map of europe started to change in the '90ies, do you remember ?
the thing are a little more complicated...
You are setting the bar too low in your analysis.
Anyone who buys your school of thought is not the type of person to rally others to a cause. Your incomplete thought processes turn off those individuals who are undecided and are action oriented.
Answer some of your questions and let's get to the meat of the answer.
You are wrong on that. They were offered at Yalta by Roosevelt. Churchill wanted the second front to be opened in the Balkans, not in Normandy.
Do tell that to the tens of millions of victims (imprisoned, tortured and brutally killed) of Russian invaders. They occupied Eastern Europe for many years and acted as feudal masters, with no rule of law for them.
Do not compare Russian forced occupation and economic backwardation with economic superiority that maked the US companies welcome in a lot of countries. Russia had 50 years to prove it is good for something and proved the exact opposite. Yeah, the Russians are experts at playing the etnic card and moving whole populations around creating havoc everywhere. You do not really think that Stalin and other criminals acted all alone, waging war on neighbours and expanding the Russian empire? It was an old strategy that was followed by Stalin.
There is no logical excuse for Russia to sign a treaty with Hitler to start WW2 and split Europe. France and Britain did not invade neighbouring countries in WW2 and did not commit mass atrocities. Russia did it and Russian army.
Ah, one more thing: do not be fooled by the so called "Union". This "Union" is working as long as Russia has the violent means to keep the occupied countries under its boots.
WWIII is coming! Too bad if we lose.
The BIS, they actually rule the rulers, will never allow the petrodollar to fail. To profitable. What is a SDR worth anyways?
If you are not familiar w/ the BIS you better look it up. The FRBNY are just BIS puppets.
The Jewish press got tired of covering the Ukraine and any story involving Putin because he alwayscomes out looking strong and morally superior to America's management. Now they are foaming at the mouth trying to start another Muslim-killing war that will only benefit Israel.
I think if Putin was interested in doing away with sanctions he would reduce Treasury holdings to zero. They should start trading Treasury paper for gold. The best times are when Treasury has a new round of auctions. Flood the market with USTs and whoever wants to buy them will get them on the cheap for a good yield. If Russia was really at odds with the US they would have done this already -- or is the goal really to just hang this sword over the head of the US? Like the Ugly dude (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) said, if you're going to shoot, shoot. Don't waste your tie talking about it.
Watched Putin interviews.
Your right tyler seems to me he does exactly what "advisors" say. He just follows teleprompter.
So why your propaganda. Fear helps the state .
Hey Anti Dollar peeps why you go to work for
US Consulting Firms May Be Banned From Providing Services to Russian State Companies
MOSCOW, June 19 (RIA Novosti) – Representatives and subsidiaries of US consulting companies may be banned from providing consulting services to Russian state companies, according to a draft law initiated by a United Russia deputy Evgeny Fyodorov, the Russian Izvestiya newspaper reported Thursday.
"Russian economy has just 0.5 percent growth as a result of foreign consultants lobbying the interests of their own country," Fyodorov said, as quoted by the newspaper.
[Now for the punch line]
"Several days ago at a meeting of the State Duma budget committee, Russia’s Central Bank report was discussed. Central Bank’s deputy head pointed out that a series of bankruptcies of Russian banks was a result of foreign consultations.
De-dollarization, de-dollarization.
Makes complete sense, since how aggressive the US in consolidating access to petrochemicals. Russia must feel quite threatened.
The US dollar is an extremely vulnerable side to the US economy. It won't be pretty.
THIS IS A DIVERSION, and frankly a masquerade.
Russia is not trying to overturn the Dollar system, just shuffle their place in the heirarchy.
I am sorry. But that is a fact you can test for yourself by asking a simple question:
Q: "What would happen if Russia traded all its dollar reserves for Good Delivery Gold?"
A: "The Bullion Bank would default. Gold would skyrocket. Fraudulent sales of imaginary so-called "paper" gold would be revealed to the general public as sales of "NOTHING". The existence of other banks' reserves would be questioned- including the Federal Reserve's. Counterparties losses ensue. Banking Collapse. Dollar currency collapse."
You can make the arguement that Russia doesn't do this because they want to avoid a banking collapse. But to do that you'd have to explain how Russia's lack of action avoids a banking collapse. In point of fact it doesn't avoid one.
The banking system is in process of collapse right now, and has been for some time. People are losing everything. The Central Banks and governments of the world simply want it to be an "Orderly" collapse.
But what does "Orderly" in this context mean? It means a collapse where those on top stay on top. And that is all that "Orderly" with respect to a banking and currencly collapse means.
ruh roh!

Headline: China to start direct yuan trade with British pound"Sterling and the Chinese renminbi, the yuan's other name (sic), will be directly swapped from June 19 without using the US dollar as an intermediary, the China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS) said in a statement Wednesday."
So even the Brits are participating in the f*ing of the Dollar. Reset may come a lot sooner than I thought.
This is all playing out pretty much as Jim Willie has predicted since 2008. See his past articles at:
