President Obama To Explain How These New-New Sanctions Will Really Make Putin Mad - Live Feed
We are sure President Obama must be happy that the European leaders finally stepped in line behind him and layered new goldilocks sanctions on Russia. With business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic urging him not to, for fear of the dreaded 'boomerang' from Putin (which has already been targeted at MSFT, IBM, MCD, INTC, AMD, and car manufacturers), President Obama is set to explain how his new-new sanctions (which include several Russian banks including VTB, Russia's second largest ) and will be the message that Putin needs to leave, fold to NATO, handover everything, and retire to the Gulag. Yet, oddly enough, Gazprom is once again missing from the sanctions list. The whole market is sliding heading into his speech (including the Russian ETF). We await the retaliation.
Treasury announces new sanctions...
- *LEW SAYS VERY IMPORTANT EUROPE IS TAKING ACTION ON SANCTIONS
- *LEW: SANCTIONS SEND RUSSIA MESSAGE THAT BEHAVIOR `UNACCEPTABLE'
- *LEW: WITH SANCTIONS RUSSIA WILL HAVE FLAT OR NEGATIVE GROWTH
- *U.S. SANCTIONS VTB BANK, BANK OF MOSCOW
- *U.S. SANCTIONS RUSSIAN AGRICULTURAL BANK
- *U.S. SANCTIONS UNITED SHIPBUILDING CORPORATION (UKRAINE)
VTB Bank is Russia's largest bank
The sanctions list includes 4 Chinese nationals and 16 Iranian shipping companies.
But don't worry:
- *LEW: SANCTIONS WILL HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT ON U.S. ECONOMY
Live Feed (Obama due to speak at 1510ET)
We can't help but sense the Europeans are back-peddling a little...
- *EU RUSSIA SANCTIONS DON'T COVER SYNDICATED LOANS, OFFICIAL SAYS
- *EU SANCTIONS COVER LIMITED NO. OF RUSSIAN BANKS, OFFICIAL SAYS
Then there's this...
- *NEW EU SANCTIONS TO LAST FOR INITIAL PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS
Quickly followed by this...
- *EU TO ASSESS IMPACT ON EU ECONOMY IN SANCTIONS REVIEW: OFFICIAL
- *EU TO WEIGH RUSSIA'S BEHAVIOR IN REVIEWING SANCTIONS: OFFICIAL
So if Putin goes crazy with retaliation, we'll fold?

Obama Sends Putin A Sternly Worded Letter After Russia Violates Landmark Arms Control Treaty… http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/29/world/europe/us-says-russia-tested-cruise-missile-in-violation-of-treaty.html?_r=1 … PUTIN giggles !
How dare you deploy Iskanders as an anti anti BM missile , after we spent so much
money deploying the anti BM on your doorstep.
We are so exceptional, we didn't see it coming.
Obozo is giving clowns a bad name.
Has he caught that insolent rodeo clown yet?
damn...i guess i missed it...what?... there is a 5.5 hour wait....
Could someone explain how Russia shoots at people and gets sanctions but Israel shoots at people and gets aid?
I'm really confused...
On one side is Jack Lew and the other side lacks jew?
wait till puuty sines yo pitty on the runny kine........oblahblahma

I'm starting to get the feeling that Putin is the only sane president we have in this world.
In a perverse world you can include him, hassan rouhani and bashar al assad as well as nasrallah.
Oddly the exact list of the people the west call stark raving lunatics.
@ JohnnyBreifcase,
Selective Genocide.
How is destroying the Russian economy exercising "the diplomatic option"?
I still think we're heading headlong towards a "Pearl Harbor on the steppe" here...but we'll see. "Trains leaving the station. All aboard!"
re johnnybriefcase
The Russians weren't smart enough to write a book 2000 years ago claiming to be God's chosen people.
Putin prolly thinks Obamao is eventually going to run out of other peoples' feet to shoot.
There's alot of hopping mad people round here.
Exec who called Africans "banana eaters" still in line for top Italian soccer job http://
Italy foolishly played forward (african) Mario Baltolelli on the Italian team and they lost in the first round.
They could have played 36 year old Luca Toni who is leading the Serie A (Italian League) in goals. Toni has scored 3x the goals that Baltolelli did.
I KNEW IT! (And to think I had money on that game.)
What was the story again?
Stupid WOP, its banana peellers
Putin laughs and turns off the gas.
Gonna be a cold muthafuckin winter me thinks.
We are Governed by Children, Psycopaths / Sociopaths, & the Criminally Insane.
Chase bank?
Yeah, perrty much.
Easy to laugh at the President but this sure looks like a consensus to me now. Again for the record "why are we blaming the Russian people again?"
Clearly that is not only the diplomacy but the policy now.
Who run Bartertown say.
Barrack....I know you or one of your cronies like Steve Liesman is reading this....How about you stop playing games, pull your balls out from your skirt and man up. Shut down the borders, stop messing with countries we have no business being in, handle the IRS missing hard drive bullshit and admit you targeted myself and all other Ron Paul believers, tell us who and why gave stand down orders in Benghazi, Oh...how about banning all people from Africa right now coming into the U.S. Ebola is nasty. Then let's start talking about actually working for wellfare rather than sitting on the couch playing playstation.....Hey Barrack...does it even bother you that the food stamp card here in the nrthwest is used to gamble in the casinos with? Yep. Cash withdrawels baby. I could continue...but here is a link (Note:This is an older link, but it continues every day here) Black Jack anyone...and if you work...Thanks for funding this.

I should junk you for telling the truth.
Free casino $, you fuckin kiddin me?
It gets worse.
The EBT cards are also getting used in Colorado weed stores.
I believe this is more an indication of fraud on the part of people inside the SNAP program than actual EBT users.
My mother used to work for the welfare office, and one month they decided to force people to come in to the local office and pick up the cheques. The result, quite a number of unclaimed ones.
Fraud is one of the side benefits for those in charge of running the system.
The missile with no name.
came here to post this
@ PlusTic You sir have now just made it onto another list. HAHAHAHAHAHA
By clown you mean O'Bummer, right? Putin ain't no clown IMHO. O'Bummer is certainly acting like a clown when he chooses to poke Putin in the eye repeatedly thinking that the Russian BEAR will not take a swat with their massive paw standing at the ready.
NOTE: I am convinced that Americans have gone completely insane
and desperate to start another war to cover up their GLOBAL EMBARRASSMENT with respect to Wall Street 2008 and the fact that
the United States of America and Corporatism is defunct.
BRICS is the new punkband in town and all the cool cats are tuning in, turning on, and dropping out, USA.
DOWN WITH CORPORATIST/FASCIST USA/CIA
GET OUT OF UKRAINE, USA.
NOTE: Don't forget that I warned you, neighbour.
Wow, ZH isn't the only place where Putin is counted the favoured world leader, as shown below. It's already mainstream. If we are not contrarian how we can profit! http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/iv-drip/poll-nigel-farages-favourite...

He sure is showing remarkable restraint.

If Obama wants impeachment so bad why don't he issue an executive order?
The best response is to re-interpret the sanctions:
Vladimir Putin: Because of the sanctions imposed today on Russian banks, substantial numbers of GAZPROM employees cannot be paid and cannot go to work to fulfill their job responsibilities. Additionally, I am informed that GAZPROM can only accept payment for gas that is made to these specific banks which have been sanctioned.
Clearly we cannot provide gas that customers refuse to pay for. This failure to pay their bills is a clear violation of contract terms. New pricing will be on any new contracts.
Flip of a switch And, Viola,
No Natural Gas & Oil to the EU & the Ukraine.
Nightmares for My Father: A Story of Arms Race and Incompetence -- by Barack Hussein Obama [ghostwritten by Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski]
If the Nobel Prize Winner makes a true statement, it will be by mistake.
Obama, who after graduating from college took his first job as an “analyst” for Business International Corporation, which provided intelligence dossiers for US corporations while serving as a front for covert CIA agents, personifies this military-intelligence complex

Fuckin embarassing man.

That's the "open and transparent" part of the administration. Nobody likes to be on teevee more than an narcissist.
That's what I always say about sheriff Joe!
If you haven't noticed, the explanations are the only true action ongoing.

Tyler, just FYI - VTB never was Russia's largest bank. Bank #1 in Russia - Sberbank.
Over/under on this fuckmook being 25 mins late
Over.
30 mins late.
LOL Fuckmook.....Thanks for that
Its a good thing the market is inversely correlated with the economy or else it might be in trouble here.
Obama giving the world corporations more reasons not to buy US spy shit hard ware and software from IBM, Apple, CSCO, MSFT, Oracle and the rest.
Almost 20 minutes late; why am I not surprised?
It will be a long, expensive, and cold Winter in Western Europe.
Marine One was idling next to the green while he 9-putted the last hole.
He must be on an important phone call with Putin...and Putin won't stop laughing at him.
I'm rootin' for Pootin'!
Surrender Monkey Boehner will impeachment, or he won't... Or he might....not....
It is very wise for them to keep impeachment off the table. The Democrat fucks want the GOP to initiate the impeachment crap as a ploy to distract. Smart move not to impeach.....If Obammy signs an executive order to let millions of illegals become illegal..that could be a great big nail in the coffin for many I hope this November. I can hope can't I. If Pelosi and Reid were knocked out this November...I don't know what I would do.
That's why I think the threat of an EO allowing millions is a ruse to goad GOP into impeachment. If Bathouse actually signed an order like that the Senate is gone for sure and then let's see how much he wants impeachment. I tried listening to his line of shit today at the barber shop, just can't do it.
You'll need to update your lines. The latest is....
Republicans Have Lost Control of the Impeachment Plot They HatchedThe impeachment debate is another example of fringe conservative ideology hurting the establishment's election chances. House Speaker John Boehner knows that, which is why he said Tuesday that impeachment is a "scam" created by Democrats to motivate their base to vote and donate ahead of the midterm elections, according to the Associated Press. That's half true. Democrats are fundraising off impeachment, but this conversation was started by Sarah Palin and her fans.
It is all the city of London party, the next batch installed by diebold will read the memo and do as they are told. The tooth fairy is not going to put any money under your pillow and Santa will still come whether you are good or bad.

Unfortunately he cannot be reelected for the third term.
I think it's gonna be very hard to rip this idiot out of office.
he may be our last puhrez for a while.
I've thought since before the 2008 elections that he would be our last president. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't think I am.
Looking at what has happenned since then and what I know of history makes me think we are in for VERY hard times ahead. I'm ready for it, but I think too many people are not or are blind to this.
Andrew Jackson was our last president.
I would include JFK.
Statement on Ukraine: "What up with dat?"
At least Obama is setting up a nice cover story for why the US Dollar isn't worth the paper it's printed on anymore....
I hope he takes questions, which should include 'Why did you allow the Ukrainian Army to fire a salvo of V2 type terror weapons into the rebel area today and how do you think the Russians will react?'
"I have instructed the groundskeeper at the Congressional CC to remove the sandtraps and make the greens more like a funnel into the hole. I don't have time for questions, but I will say that I am quite a guy. Thank you media."
In the news last night there was a report on how tough the golf business is now because millenials can't look up from their smartphones. That's what this is all about, turn the Ukraine into the world's largest golf course.
Buy your stocks now, don't tell anyone I told you.
obama wishes the sandtraps on the 17th could be filled in temporarily and is late due to ordering more sand. FUCK HIM.... WHO THE FUCK ADVISES THIS POS?
This shit is going to backfire so hard on Zero in about (2) months. The MSM, all of it, is so diluted! There's no such thing as journalism any more. That Pat Buchanan piece yesterday was refreshing. Maybe he should throw his name in the hat for 2016.
As usual, Zero's pillow fight with Reggie ran overtime, and he's late...
How so friend? The MSM loves Obama and will cover for him til the end.
Buchanan is a real American.
Buchanan is an isolationist, which is right in my wheelhouse. Can you imagine how much money we'd save if we stopped funding the world? And, with any luck, the rest of the world would kill all humans while our GIs secured our borders.
http://www.wutang-corp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102666&page=3
Buchanan was educated at the Jesuit college of Georgtown and is the queen's cousin. Some of them have to appear "conservative" doncha know. When are you going to figure out the deck is stacked? We will leave the light on for you.
YC, Do I need to remind you that every candidate who looks like he's gonna win, will get taken aside and given The Speech by TPTB in the Shadow Government?
Once again zero shows his disdain and lack of respect for the American public time by strolling out whenever he feels like it. But, the libtards still love him even though he is clearly spitting in their face.
15:20 EDT and still nothing. What an asshole
And I thought he completed the telepromter reading.
37 mins to market close...
<-----Is he just remarkably stupid?
<-----He's doing this on purpose?
Yes and Yes
The first one stipulates that he is ignorant or in denial of the consequences of doing this and thinks he can win
The second, he knows it will come back to crush Europe and eventually the US and that is what he is hoping for.
I think he's just stupid.
This should be interesting for sure! Bullish! BTFATH!
Those who operate Mr. Obama's strings, emboldened by recent successes in Afganistan, Iraq, Lybia, Syria, have now decided to show the Russian Bear a thing or two.
Now Putin hits the big 6 accountancy firms
It is expected to hit foreign legal entities and individuals registered in such states, banning them from providing audit and consultancy services in Russia.
All six major US audit and consulting companies working in Russia – Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey – could be outlawed, according to Evgeny Fedorov, one of the initiators.

putin: you try to turn my oligarchs against me? nyet!
obama/cameron: yea. and what ya gonna do about it russkie :-P
putin: clyuscha. back at ya, brah :-P
I'll bet they didn't account for that.
Now that's Putin your money where you mouth is.
I wonder if he is as late for his tee times as he is for these news conferences and statements. Somehow, I think not.
...oh, you mean TV time is 2:50?

40mins what a butthole surfer
teleprompter being reprogrammed to double plus good?
Please let this be the one where he starts babbling incoherent nonsense and leering at the camera. Mental breakdown has to be good for at least two news cycles... plus think of the sympathy factor, it could save the mid-terms.
This guy is on TV more often than Alex Trebeck.
Time for Raffeisenbank and SocGen to fold. Time to cut off titanium exports to Boeing. Germany is united because Gorbachev decided to let it reunify when France and UK opposed it. It is going to be a big mess and the Ukrainians are going to plunge Europe into revolution.
I cannot see these cardboard cutouts the US has imposed as 'governments' in Western Europe surviving this........Russia is beaten up and Israel is able to go on and destroy power stations (Geneva Convention) and kill civilians all with US blessing.
The world is watching a chaotic thug bullying and threatening war to get its way......the US is a real rogue state destroying stability throighout the Middle East and intent on Global Dominance
Must be a problem with the teleprompter.
While you wait, please watch this video. History suppressed.
Did I miss it?
if he talks after 4:00 p.m. ET, it won't be good news for the mkt.
So EU´s no 1 Muppet von Rompuy has finally drawn a big red line:
Sanctions not inclute:
Running contracts...thanks UK and France, we can still sell military stuff under contract
Buisness that do more harm to EU than Russia....hmmmm hard to understand,
Equipment for Gas development, only oil equipment is in sanctions....we need your gas
Money.... this a fun one.... is russia not allowed to roll over or renegotiate extisting loans.. or is it only new loans that are under sanctions....
von Rompuy is as clear as he looks.....
you have to hand it to him. he's doing quite the balancing act.
He decided to play another six holes first.
And now live, from the 17th tee, dressed in his best knee shorts and tam o'shanter, from the remote office facilities on golf cart one, heeeeeere's Barry!
No, Obama is shaving Michelle's back hair and then having a quicky with Reggie.
Every day obama announces new russian sanctions, i go out to a really nice russian restaurant and have a nice meal, followed up with some amazing imported russian ice cream. Been eating Russian all week long and loving it.
Sanctions against Russia are going to increase prices in the U.S.
The idiot, the fool is going to do more harm than good.
To all of us.

Duplicitious lying hack.
We need to respect Ukrainian sovereignty to murder other Ukrainians who speak Russian because we supported a fascist regime hell-bent on ethnic cleansing.
We need to respect Spanish sovereignty to murder other Americans who don't speak Spanish because we supported a fascist regime hell-bent on ethnic cleansing.
I can not believe what he is saying.....to threaten Russia is a bad move. Show me the unfabricated truth.....You can't. I am listening...and I can't believe this.
I can't see any strings, they must be using fishing line, or a temporal lobe implant.

Putin is a Chemical Anatoly. Putin is the cause of insider trading. Putin is slowing market openness. Putin is the cause of global warming. Putin is the cause of cancer.
Therefore, we must ratchet up the high-frequency sanctions until they are forced to defend themselves - which, uh, as we all know, is competely unacceptable in the peaceful world union of Total Information Socialism.
Thank you.
