NATO Admits Putin Holds "Short-Term Cards", But "Won't Be Around Forever"

Following a summit in Brussels, a senior NATO diplomat proudly proclaimed that 'allies' have pledged more spending and will beef up its presence in Eastern Europe. However, likely to the chagrin of President Obama (and the West's narrative), he let slip some uncomfortable truths:

  • *NATO DIPLOMAT SAYS PUTIN HOLDS TACTIAL SHORT-TERM CARDS (hhmm, ok)
  • *NATO DIPLOMAT SAYS LONG-TERM GEOPOLITICAL TRENDS FAVOR THE WEST (phew...)
  • *NATO DIPLOMAT SAYS PUTIN WON'T BE AROUND FOREVER (threat or warning?)

So, all the west has to do is be patient? Wait out Putin? We suspect that 'strategy' may get accelerated at some point.

No problem, US dollar will die long before Putin goes away.

Bonus. When we shake this bush we'll snag two birds.Hopefully the west's pain will help initiate the next evolution of capitilist democracies. Progressing from separation of Church and State to separation of Bank and State. Keep the bank's hands out of the taxpayers treasury. Similar to not being punished for being a heritic when criticizing a Theocracy one will not be branded antiibusiness when criticizing keynsian politicians. Let loosers fail and winners pick up discounted assets on a level playing field not tilted by governments bribed with the tax payers own @#&* money.

If I were Putin, I would take that as a threat and act accordingly.
