Sanctions Costs - Who Is Paying The Most?
We are told endlessly, by the PhDs in control, how 'efficient' stock markets are, always capable of discounting all the possibilities that the world faces. If that is the case, then what is the 'market' saying about costs that are being paid for Russian sanctions? It seems the more the US presses, the weaker European stocks go... as we noted previously, the "Stop Putin" coalition may soon crack.
European stocks have suffered the most since sanctions began... (and this is why)

We wonder how much more pain Europe is willing to withstand before it cries uncle and does the land-for-gas deal that puts the final nail in the US Dollar Hegemony coffin.

"Chess vs Checkers continues"
Chinese checkers. I'm sure the Chinese are really bummed that Europe, America and Russia are expending vast resources pissing on each other.
Putin's ban on EU food imports is effectively pitting rural Europe against the EU's city elites. Throughout the history of the EEC, EC, EU the elites have always caved to the farmers.
Vladimir Putin is a dangerous man who is not to be triffled with lightly. He's as sharp as the edge of a knife in both intellect and attitude.
Yes, sir. The European elite still remember 1789. In Europe the State still fears the people. Not so in the US.
Not just 1789. 1820, 1830, 1848, 1905-1911, 1917-1923, etc. as well. And if the European Elites don't start paying attention to theri peoples' interests, we might be able to add 2014-15 to the list. If it gets really cold in Europe this winter, and heating gets really expensive, the European peoples aren't going to take it lying down because some airbrushed scriptreader tells them to.
Thank you for the historical references.
One could even add the European Peasant Revolt of 1648 and, perhps, the US veterans Washington DC tent city in 1933 that was broken up by Macarthur and Eisenhower.
You forgot 1870-1871
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do... http://goo.gl/bhiamE
It seems that instead of the Fed using the last bullet in its gun on itself they have handed the gun to the West. Such a large target, there is no chance of missing.
I need $3.5 billion to house the illegals at Club Fed. Mr. TOTUS!
need moar pork/
Just enforce the fucking laws on the books Zero. Tip O'Neill and the dems FUCKED Reagan over the first time!
Screw me once,"shame on you"... Screw me twice, "shame on me" ...
End of rant/
Stay the fuk out of Ukraine, or you're going to get your asses handed to you! NATO pukes!
Enforce the fucking laws? He's got an Executive Order (App) for that.
The tool and his pen!
I would say "live by the tool, die by the tool," but he'd like that.
A tool and his pen are soon scribbling.
I don't want to play the zionist controlling Chinese marble game anymore. Throw's game into air.
"We are told endlessly, by the graduates of Harvard. Princeton, etc ..." ....
That's why the Middle Class has disappeared, amigo.
If anybody doubts we have an institutionalized class system in America, spend a little time with the products of the fine institutions you named. Sure, they let in some tokens to keep the game interesting. But when actual choices have to be made, there's no question whose interests come first. I had the fortune, or misfortune, of attending a high school for the Elites, on scholarship, for a couple of years around 1980. I had never, and still have never, seen as much viciousness, callousness, rudeness, racism, anger, drug use and abuse, premature sex, acts of violence and nastiness, in my entire life. All papered over by money and the attitude that whatever happens among the Elites themselves should never and must never get out where the worthless people can find out. And the hatred of work and the people who do it was incredible. By the age of 14, I had a very clear image of who the people are who run our country. I haven't been surprised by anything that's happened since. Those people are like Anne Rice vampires. They look human until you get really close, but by then it's too late. They consider themselves a different species and treat the rest of us accordingly. They are re-imposing feudalism, with no shame or apologies. Should it come to it, it's your place to starve while they eat your food and purge it back up. And it's their right to lie to us to manipulate us into doing their service. Some of them have always been good people, and some have always been psychopaths. But the psychopathy became very fashionable starting around 1980, and it's gone mainstream by now.
This is so true. Have experience of this myself. It's the profound sense of entitlement that lies at the root of it.
Who cares who is hurting the most? US coughs, Russia sneezes, and Europe catches pneumonia. Meanwhile every citizen globally takes it in the ass.
As conditions deteriorate across Europe with deeper recession, it will be interesting to watch the MENA riots in Europe in places like Paris and Brussels where the MENA immigrant ghettoes are bursting at the seams with poor, unskilled, uneducated people fairly used to death and violence from their native countries.
I hope it doesn't happen but visiting some of these places awhile ago showed me even places like Stockholm are "diverse" in the extreme at night.
In reality America has few military options in Russia's backyard unless it has the backing of a full and enthusiastic NATO and that is very unlikely. Europe has reason to be unexcited about a possible long and expensive conflict. While still trying to recover from a recession Europe would face fuel shortages and a massive spike in the price of natural gas.
Currently Russia supplies much of the gas used in Europe, this gives Putin a great deal of leverage. If an actual ground attack were to occur few see the Russians as likely to rollover as other armies have when America approaches. More on this subject in the article below.
