Gold Jumps, Germany Dumps, S&P Slumps As NATO Tells Russia "To Step Back From The Brink"
NATO's Chief Anders Rasmussen is unleashing his latest set of 'back down or else' comments this morning towards Russia:
- *RUSSIA MASSED 'LARGE FORCES' ON UKRAINE BORDER: RASMUSSEN
- *RASMUSSEN TELLS RUSSIA 'TO STEP BACK FROM THE BRINK'
- *RASMUSSEN: FURTHER RUSSIA INTERVENTION 'HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION'
- *NATO: INTL COMMUNITY TO 'REACT DECISIVELY' IF RUSSIA INTERVENES
And ironically Rasmussen proclaims Russia faces further isolation if it continues down this path... by which he means Russia will become even closer to its BRICS allies.
The rhetoric is rising...
- *NATO HAS ALL CAPABILITIES NEEDED TO PROTECT ALLIES: RASMUSSEN
- *RASMUSSEN SAYS NATO HAS TO ADAPT TO `ILLEGAL RUSSIAN BEHAVIOR'
- *RASMUSSEN SAYS `BUSINESS AS USUAL' CAN'T CONTINUE WITH RUSSIA
- *RUSSIA DOESN'T CONSIDER NATO AS `PARTNER,' RASMUSSEN SAYS
- *NATO SEEN AS ADVERSARY BY RUSSIA, RASMUSSEN SAYS
The market's reaction to this tone is bad... stocks dropping and Bunds to record low yields...
and gold jumping...
and DAX is heading further negative year-to-date...

NATO? What are they going to do if Russia elects to roll a metric buttload of armor into Ukraine? Nothing. Absolutely fucking NOTHING. They will talk and saction, but no military response.
Let's hope you're right.
Well NATO is just protecting fellow NATO member Ukraine. lulz
Did they say this from the missile cruiser in the Black Sea?
Fucking war pimps, we should tie a yellow ribbon on their dead, bloated corpses.
Warmongering cunts.

Razmussen Talking Nuclear WAR, Over A Impoverished Shithole Section Of Ukr THat Nobody Gives A Fuck About ?????
fuck NATO.
don't forget how NATO backed down during the Georgian/Russian conflict back in 2008. Russia basically said get the fuck away or we'll nuke all of you.
NATO backed down...bitchez.
And they should have. NATO shouldn't be screwing around in any of that shit over there. Especially screwing with Syria and backing Al Quaida and I.S.
NATO is just being used as another terrorist organization on behalf of the NWO globalist scumbags.
NATO can do nothing. They are a paper tiger that Putin can easily burn. Fighting against Russia in their own back yard and winning is a Neocon (aka Neofascist) wet dream: killing millions of Goy while reaping hundreds of billions in profits. Fortunately it is a fantasy since Europe and USSA will not go to war with Russia over a backward, failed, corrupt, dual citizen run Ukraine.
Is the USSA willing to send more soldiers to die in the Ukraine, for a country that most Americans cannot even find on a map?
Does anyone really think that Europeans will send their youth to die to satisfy Shell Oil's fracking contracts in Donbass, Ukraine?
All wars are bankster wars!
Bankster games.
Err, yes, NATO will decisively engage in preparations to discuss dinner times to discuss whether to discuss sanctions.
The sky over Europe would be insanely busy.
I don't think any one wants a shooting war there.
Let's move all this to Africa and welcome them to our fucked up pain and misery
YO!
All Putin has to do is have his army sit on the Russian border for a few more months, then let General Winter start reading the riot act to the idjuts in Ukraine!
Ukraine is not even a member of NATO Rasmussen! You dope!
WTF you going to do if Russia moves in, hold a press conference!?!?!
NATO should toss out Turkey and replace with Ukraine.
NATO is all white and raycisssst
Not just hold a press conference. They will also condemn the move in. Not just condemn but really, really condemn.
Really! Totally psyche'd about the "joint communique!" Then, the comfy chair (followed by fluffy pillows!)
the ukraine is not a nato member country... not yet anyway
That's a critical point actively suppressed by mainstream media. UKRAINE IS NOT A MEMBER OF NATO. NATO has no jurisdiction. On a related note, did you wonder why the glib term "Territorial Integrity" gets tossed around by Western whores? It's because the billions in debt (enslavement) promised by the EU hinges on Kiev retaining control of Ukraine's original borders. Once again, debt turns governments against their citizenry.
Ukrainians, open your eyes! If you don't make drastic changes, your future is a horror!
Do you really think the rich and comfortable Eurotards in Brussels, London, and Paris are willing to risk ANYTHING?
No, but they are American lapdogs - and the yankees want war (or so it seems).
GOLD JUMPS UP TO 1306!!!!
#Putin likes gold #I hate Putin
You think they stand a chance to stop the Russians at Fulda Gap this time?
You've got it backwards. The banking syndicate is based out of Europe. NATO may be the lapdog, the US is the bulldog. They're both on a choke chain. An iron fist is still only a tool. The mind is elsewhere. Diversion is key.
"Now go away or I will taunt you a second time-a!"

... of course he's right.
Every time the West rattles its sabers or thumps its chest, gold rises. And, if gold gets on a tear ...... it's all over for the West and their fiats with no gold.
Watch. As long as gold pumps with every threat of war, nothing will be done. (only covert actions)
Huh? Why Belgium alone has two or three...APCs, so they're ready to roll! :>D
Quick, call up the EU reserve armies...
I dont thonk thats the cas.America needs a war and lets hopePutan dosnt give them what they want. Has Russia rebuilt their army so atrong since falling apart just a few years back. And im sure yall dont want to be n the bread lins again. Warvis comming nothing us bloggers can do.
Razmussen Talking Nuclear WAR, Over A Impoverished Shithole Section Of Ukr ?????
the problem is not ukraine, ukraine is a decoy. a proxy.
the problem is on each side of ukraine, USA/EU vs RUSSIA/BRICS.
it is a mixdown of imperialism by ressources control and economic antropy
This is the real story. The Ukraine is being used as a staging ground to take down Mother Russia,dismember her and steal her resources. Putin understands this play and Washington will burn before this ever happens.
I'm laughing at the image of stars and stripes being raised in Red Square. Seriously, having worked for psychopaths and seen them achieve full destructive potential at the corporate level, I'm confident that they will completely obliterate our countries before they succeed in any imperialist ambitions overseas.
Stupid Russians, they don't see NATO as a partner... probably because it isn't.
NATO: YOU BETTER STEP BACK FROM THE BRINK!
(and keep selling Europe gas please)
NATO is a friggin peacock.
pods
"The brink" appears to be Russia's borders, and NATO tells Russia to "step back" from it. Laughable, transparently stupid. Let NATO step back from the brink, back into their own countries, and mind their own damn business for a change.
This is all coming right from the US. This is to bring Europe back into the US sphere as much as it is to demonize Russia.
Face it, the US now is merely just a debt exporter, and the world is awash in debt.
Europe is finding that Russia has something to offere besides more debt and the US cannot have that.

NATO is lead by Fogh Rasmussen. A former Danish politician. He runs the interests of America, and parts of his family resides there.
Fogh Rasmussen has been instrumental in involving Denmark in wars they should never have been involved in, and he is bad news even at the best of times.
How many times have they claimed that Russia has concentrated large forces at the border in the last weeks?
The rule of thumb is one angry declaration for each extra soldier.
Not enough, apparently, because they haven't got their war started yet.
How many times has Wiley Coyote bought from ACME?
They never learn.
WWIII, bitchez!
Hmmm, how about telling the US bully and the EU to stop with all the poking first?!
Rasmussen is a first class ass and arsonist. Ukraine is not in NATO and much of it never will be in NATO. Europe may burn because of clowns like this in authority.
It is NATO trying to take Ukraine that is creating the "brink". Russia does not respond to threats. It will take action as it believes in its vital national interests.
I second his asshatness
Rasmussen has to make noises because his clients in the Baltics and Poland are demanding NATO troops invade Eastern Ukraine and "teach those Russkies a lesson." NATO does not dare move but he can make a lot of noise.
I just keep hoping that Putin and China's leader Xi pull a flash mob (dancing, not invading) on the border of Ukraine, and then hold a press conference where they announce that they are dropping the dollar. That would be quite a youtube video for Psaki to comment on.
Hashbrown - humansneverlearn
But how can this be? With The One, the world was supposed to be all peaches and cake overnite.
He just hasn't gotten around to droning Moscow.
some reset, huh?
I've got an "easy" button from staples on my desk if O wants to borrow it.
US spending $5 billion to destabilize Ukraine or US demonizing Putin is just fine though
http://www.hangthebankers.com/us-spent-5-billion-to-destabilize-ukraine/
Since the beginning of the week, the three most influential mass circulation newsmagazines of the United States, Britain, and Germany—Time, The Economist, and Der Spiegel—have published cover stories that combine wild accusations against Vladimir Putin with demands for a showdown with Russia.
The most striking and obvious characteristic of these cover stories is that they are virtually identical. The CIA has scripted them all. The stories employ the same insults and the same fabrications. They denounce Putin’s “web of lies.” The Russian president is portrayed as a “depraved” mass murderer.

The West is getting nervous because their printing scheme is failing and when the flow stops, the FSA is going to tear itself to pieces.
You can already see it in every local newspaper. Unheard of crimes that are now commonplace.
The world IS falling down, one individual at a time.

I don't mind Obama and the politicos talking smack, but I really dislike it when the arm chair warriors start with the "massing troops" stuff.
Coming Next: "Putin tells NATO, Go F*&ck Yourself"!
You are late. He already did...
NATO nazies getting angry
Tough talk from Anders, too bad he doesn't have the bastards to back it up with.
Grade school bullshit from an insignificant organization.
One should be prepared before shaking the bear from the tree...
The only thing Putin really fears is NATO escalating to a furious selfie photo-bomb campaign.
Exactly,they're messed up because this time they fucked with the wrong kind of dude.

Isn't Obama golfing with JZ today? Ya, thought his schedule was full...
Only a madman would behave so irresponsibly. For that reason, it's time to implement the 25th Amendment, Section 4:
Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.
Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session.
If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of
his office.

Obama has lost his mind, and is placing the US in danger of a pandemic that could kill thousands - maybe even more.
He has to go - this is the way to get him away from the "button" of disease warfare waged on the American people.

great idea,
let's have

GOD DAMMIT...
WILL U DUMP THOSE FUCKING TREASURY'S ALREADY VLAD!!
peace out.
Patience. Haven't you noticed Putin never responds while angry.
He thinks everything thru' first, and then acts.
If I was going to dump UST's in concert with China, I would do it Christmas Eve.
I would cut the gas and oil then as well.
Happy New Year.
So Ukraine is a member of NATO now? And, did'nt you guys run out of bombs in Libya a few months back?
"NATO: INDIVIDUAL NATIONS MAY WEIGH DELIVERY OF ARMS TO UKRAINE"
FFS
Dismantle NATO, quick.
Anyway, no country in Europe will go to war against Russia. Nobody there has appetite for a war just to enable US fracking companies to avoid bankruptcies. NATO will collapse.
I'm sorry. All I see is Red on the screen ?????
The great unwind begins. Eienstien was right, WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.
The queens will stick to their caliphate if they don't turn the oven down.
Lotta longs loaded up big time this morning due to the big POMO day ($2.5B), so if we could just hit their stops, we could really slide vertically. Come one, push it, baby, push it !! (Yes, I'm short the Russell, what else is new :) )
Closed out near the current low, more out of fear than genius. Hate trading on dueling headline days, as a misplaced adjective from a wire service can cause the markets to go screaming against your position. Also have the feeling POMO firms stopped using their ammo around 10:30, and have half of the $2 Billion left to use in goosing new post-Putin shorts. Good luck to those still short, have a feeling a wild, seesawing ride is in store ...
NATO to Russia. ..lay down and take it up the arse like Germany and Poland
NATO prepares to retaliate with furious #hashbrown #selfie offensive!
How DARE Putin have troops on his own border! Doesn't he know that's highly ILLEGAL here in ObaMaos 1 world all about him?
Yep...might scare off the illegals trying to bum rush the border
nato sucks ass
You can print dollars and Euros but you can't print gas.
I can hear chairs drawing closer to the conference table.
Remove one more chair and restart the music
NATO just another geopolitical tool of the US ...lile CIA IMF...
At least Russia is acting like an adult.

The U.S. military is already spread so fucking thin it's a joke, and moral is in the shitter after Zero's Iraq and Afghanistan debacles. What, a few panzi assed NATO countries armed with dumbed down U.S., British and caugh*caugh* French hardware are going to roll over the Russians at their front door?
What America Can Learn From Russia's Cheap But Deadly T90 Tank
Excellent article. Now compare their tank philosophy, based on hard-won experience, with our disasterous F-35 and littoral combat ship programs, which were designed only to enrich "the complex" and produce junk in the process.
Bah. BAH!
If Oboingo is forced to cancel the back nine, he's gonna be ready for nukin'.
Why has Russia threateningly expanded its border to NATO's doorstep?
History sees it differently. Nato has been threateningly expanding its border to Russia's doorstep. And they've been doing that for awhile now.
did not think I needed the sarcastic tag for that particular comment of mine
Sorry, I had no way of knowing. You hear all sorts of things here on ZH, and I'm still fairly new...:-)
Stop Br'er Rabbit or we'll throw you into the briar patch.
Putin is chess player. These actions by Obama and the ECB are just what He wants. Isolation from the West gives Putin more strenght. Next He will invade Ukrania to keep the peace. Putin wants to built Russia back to it's former glory. What better way than to have The USA and the ECB as enemies of the state. Russia or rather Putin is ready for all out war. While Obamaruma hasn't got a clue!
oldmule
Spare us your mind reading fantasies about Putin and what he might do, would do, could do, and imagined in your obliviousness to what Putin has done and said he wanted.
Instead try to realize what the US/NATO have actually done.
Obama and his handlers are fully cognizant what they are doing.
They have repeatedly stated their intent and motives, from "exceptionalist" rule to PNAC resource control to Pentagon full-spectrum dominance.
The end goals of Obama et al are despicable, but their pursuit of those goals is not due to lack of understanding.
THE SHIT SHOW FROM HELL!
Fuck you and your Gold Jumps Headlines. Looks to me like it jumped, along with Silver right off the fucking cliff.
Facts get downvoted? When I posted this, gold and silver were both headed south. So W T F?
Hey Vlad, put a planc across the "brink" and roll in there and clean out the unelected sewage in brussels. Please.
speculation was that the "Northern Euro" would tell the Med countries to shut up and go along with the Austerity programs and other shit.
Looks like in the not to distant future these same Med countries might just hold hands, WITH VLAD and tell the northeners to fuck off, and get off their beaches.
memo: I think Italy has the most nato (US) bases in Europe.
British Empire stooge Rasmussen is acting like a guy with a gun to his head telling everyone around him to stop the insanity.
Rasmussen is correct: NATO is not a partner for Russia.

NATO is run by pimps and whores.
amazing the support Putin gets from some of the ZH wack jobs. Merkel is LEADING the EU (read Germany) because she KNOWS what it is like living under Russian diktat. She UNDERSTANDS allow Putin to run roughshod over Georgia, Ukraine, Nagorno Karabakh then Iran, Syria, China Pakistan only get WORSE.
Yes we lied and broke our promises to Putin about NATO expansion but to say CIA overthrow of Yanukovych when they cant find their own ass is laughable.
Obama/Rasmussen are doing about all that can be done talking loudly because they dont have a big stick. Either allow Putin to take over or send in troops. Neither is going to happen so here we are
just buy gold to be on the safe side
It is NATO that has provoked Russia and seems intent on continuing to provoke Russia into a war....somehow believing they can prevail.
Is this driven by US decision makers who see their own economy & $US hegemony is going down the tubes so rather than accept responsibility for that, they seek something else to blame it on....and Putin & Russia seem convenient scapegoats..
Be careful what you wish for....you may get all that you ask & a whole lot more.
Okee Europe becomes rubble again. Sigh The movie has become so repetitive & boring.
