As If Millions Of European Voices Suddenly Cried Out In Terror: US Threatens More Russian Sanctions
After two rounds of escalating sanctions, which have pushed if not Russia then certainly Europe to the brink of a triple-dip recession, the US has a modest proposal for Russia: to cripple Europe's economy even more, or said otherwise, even more sanctions for Russia!
#BREAKING US warns of possible new sanctions against Russia over Ukraine
— Agence France-Presse (@AFP) August 28, 2014
In short: Mario Draghi is rejoicing as the time to cut Europe's GDP forecasts once again is here, which also means more easing from the ECB is now assured, thus making the uber rich even richer, while continuing the evisceration of the global middle class.
In the meantime, one wonders if the US, which recently decided to begin bombing Iraq under the pretext of "humanitarian intervention" which is now long gone but the US bombing campaign persists with one simple purpose: to move the bombs to Syria, terminally cripple the Assad regime and allow the Qatar gas pipeline to finally enter Europe bypassing Gazprom and Ukraine entirely, will also get involved on the side of the east Ukrainians who continue to be caught in the middle of a civil war and are shelled by the Ukraine army on a daily basis. Somehow we doubt it.
And now, we eagerly await the release of even redder lines and even hashier tags by the GOTUS to show that he really means business.

Someone remind me again, what's Einstein's definition of insanity?
Obama threatened to go on another Golfing Vacation but this time going without any of his Russian-made Irons in the bag!
A Whitehouse spokesman stated Mr. Obama will now use only his Woods and his little, putter..
F*** the EU: Senior US diplomat Victoria Noodleman
Ooo scary! News flash: the US is WEAK!
Can't we just send John "Lurch" Kerry over there to talk at them for 2 or 3 days? They'll sign anything after that.
Shit just got real.
Did the USSA asks the Europeans, who will be the ones that suffer from further sanctions against Russia? Maybe we should ask Victoria "fuck the EU" nudelman what she thinks?
I also can infer that the USSA must be in deeper economic trouble than is commonly portrayed by the captive MSM media. War is the health of the state and the solution to economic catastrophe. Just ask any Keynesian.
I don't feel represented by my government at all. This whole mess is because of our inept leadership unable to say no to the one world order. Fuck you and your fucking bombs and fuck your zionistic sanctions.
I don't feel represented by bureaucrats from Brussels not to mention my gov. But I'm afraid, the bureaucrats from Brussels will agree with Washington's crazy idea.
That’s because the bureaucrats from Brussels don’t GAF about anything other than their precious socialized fiscal union/federalization.
It is the same “grand vision” scam that Trotsky and Lenin used to plunder Tsarist Russia for the Wall Street and international financiers.
I hope Scotland votes for independence,
Then the hypocrites in Washington can call for bombing the “separatists”.
Maybe the folks around Faslane will vote to stay with Briton and we can accuse London of invading that area just like Russia/Crimea and Sevastopol.
It just doesn’t get any better than this.
They'll agree until winter sets in and the supply of Russian natural gas is cut.
Washington wants to sever Europe's ties to Russian natural gas so they can start buying LNG from the USSA. Too bad it will take a few years to build the pipeline and a few million frozen European corpses for that scenario to play out.
I'm well aware that Hillary, when she takes over as dictator, will hand what's left of the U.S. to Brussels. That's her bag, she's totally into world government. She's a pinup girl for the Brussel's club. When you get your hand caught in your washing machine and want to sue, plan on buying a plane ticket because you will be unable to bring your case against a U.S. corporation in a U.S. court.
I'm sure it is but who's stupid enough to lend the US anymore funds? The US can't payoff all the reserve notes they've issued so they'll print more to give the suckers who'll take it in exchange for their goods and services.
The Fed can do that. That is until nobody else will accept the fiat. That is when it falls a in the ditch. We have one foot in now.
Yes, it's the same shit, different day.
The US apparently learned very little from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, Russians absorbed every single lesson.
The United States is a bloated, overextended empire drowning in debt and decay, just like the Soviet Union. The petrodollar is the only thing keeping us afloat, and — Spoiler Alert! — the minute it loses its status as reserve currency is the minute we completely sink.
Lately, any number of countries around the world have been visibly preparing for that exact event. Uncle Sam whistles past the graveyard.
If I remember correctly, when the USSA moved warships into the eastern Mediterranean Sea last year in preparation for bombing Syria/Assad after we all witnessed the undisputed YouTube videos, Russia moved their warships there as well to defend their interests in Syria and intimidate the USSA. When the USSA starts bombing Syria in the near future, I wonder what action Russia will take.
And remember, this is all about humanitarian aid and not a gas pipeline.
Oh, gimme a break!
" Russia moved their warships there as well to defend their interests in Syria and intimidate the USSA. When the USSA starts bombing Syria in the near future, I wonder what action Russia will take. "
In Syria itself, they probably won't be able to do anything. And chances are, depending on how the situation evolves, Bosphorus may all of a sudden find itself in "maintenance mode".
Well the Russians are reopening and modernizing the Soviet era military bases (racket base included) and building a warship port near the Bay of Pigs (I wonder this name is related to politicians). And the whole thing is part of the Cuban debt forgiveness and Gazprom oil production deal. Guess how it will play out?
Russia has NO interest in hurting the EU, but Putin has to push the checker player into overreaching like he ALWAYS does and sever the relationship between the the US and the EU, what little remains!!
The "invasion" without it really being an invasion might just do it, and Putin has realized long ago, every strategic move he makes, the Golfer in Chief makes the predictable next move, right on cue!!
It's August in Europe, still nice and warm during the days, but getting nippy in the evenings, how much longer do you think the EU is going to play this bullshit charade with Washington, with idiot in charge, doing nothing but talking and golfing!!
Meanwhile Russia is directly trading with China, India, Iran, Latin America, and others in none USD transactions, which BTW will completely fuck up the EU and US banking cartels understanding of everything!! Tell me again why Russians will care what the Ruble to the Dollar exchange is, when their currency will buy 2x to 3x the same stuff from China and Latin America the EU and US was selling them!! And no one is going to convert back to dollars or Euro, which is why this is all insanity run by Washington and the EU is waking up fast!!
Even before that, he realized that by using dollars as a medium of exchange and storage of wealth you dig your own grave and finance your own downfall. Therefore, he means business since it's about survival. For Obama it's about keeping privileges, perks and entitlement. Guess whose motivation makes him more determined.
Putin has designed a narrow dogleg left for obama, with a left sloping fairway, traps lining the left side, woods along the right, and a water hazard just around the bend. And no mulligans. So much for running off to the golf course.
It is my belief that the European leaders are looking for a way out of dollar dependence. Of course, their OWN central Bank is fucking them (nation by nation, like Greece, et.al),, but they are looking for a way to be NOT left holding the bag which is USD-demoninated DEBT. At the same time, they are also concerned that Russia will become their NEW master (which is the same as the old one, but perhaps better or worse). Russia has played a masterful game so far, getting Europe dependent upon GAZPROM and LUKOIL and such for fuel supplies (especially during the winter months), and now that the deals are being made to trade in currency 'other than USD' for this fuel, it would be my thought that Saudi Arabia is the lynchpin that holds the petrodollar in place; as the primary OPEC cartel producer...
NOW, just SUPPOSE for a moment that The E.U. and the Russians (and the Chinese and the Iranians) teamed up with their 'intelligence agencies' and caused a little 'Arab Spring' to happen in Saudi Arabia... I guess if they did it now, it would be called 'Arab Fall'... Saudi Arabia and Israel are buddies, you know...
Imagine what would happen to all the U.S. bases if; all of a sudden; overnight; no one accepted Dollars for Oil any more. Imagine what would happen to the CONUS.
This is simply conjecture.
How long does the ZH audience expect the NATO pact to last, as of right now?
I think it will be GERMANY that starts it off (but I may be incorrect). France is pretty pissed as well.
I think the FED played one too many hands of poker, and is about to draw aces and eights.
Let Russia have the Ukraine (it's where Chernoybl is, and they are legally and morally responsible to keep pouring the concrete for the next 20,000 years or so). In Cryllic, the Greek word in the Bible called 'wormwood' is CHERNOYBL (from The Book Of The Revelation Of Jesus Christ To His Servant John), or so I was told. The Pacific Ocean makes up one-third of the entire volume of the seas on Earth, and a 'Chernoybl' happened at Fukushima...
In Boise, Idaho, United States, the BSU Broncos football team is having their first pre-season game tonight. A local radio station has devoted SIX AND A HALF HOURS in order to broadcast their 'pre-game show' (the game might last 2 and a half hours). Do you think that the people will recognize the bright flash and react in a way that ensures their survival when the nuclear war that has been going since 1945 goes HOT over the CONUS (after the CONUS goes to DefCon One over the loss of their 'reserve currency status'); or will they be so mezmerised by the MSM psychotronics that they will simply DIE? What will it be like in Europe? Asia? Africa?
SHIT. It's UTTER MADNESS.
A variation of it, in regards to problem solving is...
"Problems cannot be solved at the same level at which they were created".
Close.
The primary key that needs to be employed in order to start mitigating a 'problem' is the totality and acceptence of the ROOT CAUSE of the 'problem' (even if it means shifting your perceptions regarding preconcieved notions about 'good', 'bad', and your basic perceptions about 'reality' that has been implanted without your consent). From this acceptence, it is possible to begin planning a STRATEGY that allows mitigation by attacking the 'problem' at it's 'ROOT CAUSE'. FOR EXAMPLE: The FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM, when all things are considered, is the ROOT CAUSE of ALL the issues that the United States has had to deal with since 1913. THINK ABOUT IT in a perspective that allows you to see where the funding for ALL the parties who work from within and without the CONUS to destroy the very fiber of the United States get their MONEY FROM.
Fucking ROTHSCHILDS...
I keep reminding you hoping that one day you will remember.
If I reminded you again I would meet the definition of insanity.
I know gh0atrider has been sanctioned too (which is why it is all quiet now about BTC on ZH)
I wonder if he saw this interesting reddit thread. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2eff0b/bitcoin_swift_and_the_br...
All about another tactic available to Russia (and others) to respond to US sanctions.
West gives it all. East is still in first gear.
I'm sure Putin is shaking right now over Obama's "Golf Cart Diplomacy".
... and here's a US/UK company closing down over the last lot, can't buy the stuff from russia anymore...
http://www.reviss.com/
Who again is this supposed to hurt? Honestly, you could not shoot yourself in the head quicker than to have political elite try and solve something.
Blowback's a bitch, bitchez.
It was supposed to hurt Russia, AND fuck europe.
The US needs both weakened or destroyed, as a last option.
Europe is being led down the garden path.....to the woodshed.
I don't know why you people keep bashing Obama about Golfing. Doing anything else is harmful by playing at least he is neutral.
I see you've never watched 'Caddyshack'!
Lots of things get harmed on the links (that's where all the REAL business deals get made, you know).

The only reason new sanctions would work is because none of the old ones did. But these are different. I can just feel it. This time, it will definitely work.
I know right?! It's soooooo different this time!!!! USA! USA! USA!
LOUDER DAMMIT!
They're going to freeze all Russian assets
and then Europe will freeze, I suspect
NP (no problem): Russia then "freezes out" the Petrodollar for all its Energy sales*. Gold, Rubles and Yuan will be accepted as "Money".
And you know what they say about BS, Money, walking and talking, right?
* Killing the Dollar hurts the real Villain: The Masters of the USD. Whereas turning off the gas only kills the "intended victims" (Russia) and the "intended collateral" (EU). Same as it ever was.
Putin is making it appear as if the US is pushing him into what
he wanted to do all along.
In legal terms, he can go to the world with 'clean hands', and any fallout will be blamed
on the US.Just hoping its not the radioactive kind,and the world still exists.
'I will sell them the rope with which they hang themselves.'
I can see it now: Some Ruskie banging his shoe on the desk at the U.N. building in NYC (in black and white)...
Nikita was actually short and fat (over here, we refer to these body sizes as 'portly' when selling them suits).
You are correct, Winston.
We are a lot of talk, and the world knows it.
How did the 25+ years of Iran sanctions work out for you?
Well, it was the 26th year of sanctions that worked on Rhodesia, maybe.
But then again, they didn't have the petroruble card to play.
50+ years with Cuba. So we got that going for US.
Forgot about Cuba.If you offered the choice of living today in Cuba or
Zimbabwe, not much doubt about it.
Free Cuba!
Free cuba libre.
FIFY
Why are 'high-risk' foreign 'militants' being waterboarded daily in GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA?
Don't you find it strange that the CONUS has an active military base there (operated by the CIA, of course)?
this is absurd. Go hard or go home.
Boomerang two- Putin will prohibit EU passenger airlines to fly over the vast expanse of Russia. This will cost the EU based airlines a fortune to re-route over Alaska!!!
This tit-for-tat stuff will go on thru the fall, but then the EU will need to decide if they want heat.
And, like the Ukraine, the eastern, productive, people will want heat, while the western manipulators will 'sanction'.
System..... breaking ......down..... must...... have...... war........
The foreplay on this is amazing. Buncha cockteasers if you ask me.
All sides require a plausible casus belli to appeal to their own sheeple, hence the narrative going full-retarder by the day.
System..... breaking ......down..... Reset .... Inevitable.....
Mmust...... have...... war........and.... blame...... Russia....
while..... the.... real..... villains.... escape.
A Perfect Circle- PET
Children could run this country better than these idiots. Cannot believe that after 5 failed wars we are still "policing" the world and saving the people. Beyond comprehension. Give me one leader, just one before I die.
Putin
What's even more unbelievable is that the US sheople still believe the old tired line.
Kids would want to bomb shit, but it would all be for fun, no one would die. In fact it would bring nations together.
Well this is what Nuland and her gang planned all the time. It's all going according to plan. "I think we're in play"... remember?

When Obomber draws a line, he uses chalk
An obomber line only has 1 point. See New Math.
in the land of only one dimension
lines are abstract concepts..
Obama leads but nobody follows might be a better headline. At this point Putin holds all the cards, this will become more obvious as winter nears and events unfold. It seems both Russia and many of the separatist in Eastern Ukraine would support federalization. Surely, no reason exist for Kiev to be opposed other than a loss of power. A more federalized government is also the most plausible way of keeping Ukraine intact.
Support for sanctions is mixed in Europe as some countries fear Russia and have an ax to grind with Putin while others wish to move forward. Saber rattling has only lead to death and destruction. As I see it little good will come from further bloodshed and it is time for the West to stop sending money to Kiev so they can ramp up the violence and continue the civil war. More on the progress being made in the article below.

Like Old School. Come on we'll all go streaking.
A little while later, Michele in the motorcade stops and asks O what the hell he is doing. We're all invading Russia....and Syria.....and..... Next scene shows Merkel buying Russian natgas and France selling more warships.
'It seems both Russia and many of the separatist in Eastern Ukraine would support federalization.'
think so? Donetsk is calling itself a republic and is cutting ties w/Kiew etc. watch it happen. UE is going to become smaller in the coming months. there is no turning back on this one. Porky sees it coming. UE bandits overstepped. too much slaughter. a**hole amis f*cked up another one. LOL. Luhansk is next. More partisan activity starting in West UE. this is moving west watch it happen along with the NATO nitwits. winter is coming.
Fortunately global thermonuclear holocaust is already priced into the markets.
Agreed.
According to my calculations it would take aliens (not illegal ones) to pry Janet Yellens underlings hands off the keyboard to see a 1% correction.
Time to pull out of the market then, and invest in a trip to Mars.
Boyz & Girlz this calls for a ramping of the S&P 500.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Israel will get their pipeline and Lebensraum no mater how many goy need to freeze or die.
An American, not US subject.
A rumor circulating around washington is that the new sanctions will involve restricting Facebook access for friends of Putin, and a full embargo on Chia Pets
Good lord! That is really harsh!
U.S. to announce that it will not attend the G20 summit in Moscow.
Who invited you?
hehehehe............
G20 Summit - buncha guys swinging old Ping clubs. Get with it TPTB, you're falling behind in your technology.
'Qatar gas pipeline to finally enter Europe bypassing Gazprom and Ukraine entirely,'
this is just another ami pipedream. it will never get through.
Someone will bomb it, accidentally. See Malaysian airliners.
At some point Europe is just going to say F-U to the US policy, if they haven't already.
Well done Putin.
We are seeing it bit by bit. They are building their case. But I'm watching it with as much interest as anybody. I wonder if they just say, "hey, we're done with you?" Just could happen. I'm waiting. Meanwhile, 90% of mainstream USA has no clue. It's amazing.
All party of Icky Nuland's Fuck the EU. Obama is essentially saying: sanctions gonna hurt the EU way more than it does the US
I hope Greece and Hungary refuse to abide by any more sanctions imposed by Superfly
I believe the proper acronym is, GOAT-US.
The "Judas" goat always takes the escape route.
My sole remaining hope is that adults behind the scenes are discussing ways and means by which the Petrodollah can be gradually released without widespread war.
But alas, instead of expanding commuter rail lines, developing alternative power sources, etc. (I know, tiresome right? Sounding like Kunstler again, right? Borrrrring and Peak Oil is soooo 2006, right?), our Messiah, wholly an assclown and an asspuppet, has been busy installing bulletproof glass in bank teller windows all across mainstreet USA, race-baiting, arming sheriff Barney Fife & Co. with APCs and most of all, pumping for WOAR at every opportunity. Oh, they know what is coming and the Assclown is getting us ready for the demise of the petrodollah their way.
My contempt for this Administration hits new highs every day. The filth running the USA are the most venal, labyrinthine, repugnant clusterfuck of snakes imaginable.
All this means absolutely nothing.
Putin plays the American right wing like a harp. Unbelieveable. These folks who once agreed with their Connecticut-born cowboy that "you're either with us, or you're with the terrorists" now support Dear Leader Putin and communism. The irony is delicious.
Its going to be a cold fall/winter in Europe....rubles/yuan bitchez!!!
Who wrote the script for this bloody shambles?
NATO, OBUMMER. McMANIAC, KERRY, more like Monty Pythons Flying Circus.
Monty Python isn't that stupid!
Monty Python is stupid!
I better go and quickly buy some stocks.
Help Europe, drink Cîroc® Vodka
Germans are slashing the prices on cars selling in NA.
"We will get this economy moving even if it means killing you."
Oh, wait...that came out wrong...
The only items left unticked on the sanctions list are gas and Putin. Have fun trying to sanction either of them. This could be good.
Let's summarize: Thus far the sanctions mean the USA enjoys importing no more Russian vodka, no more Russian caviar, no more Russian-made AK-47s, no more roubles used in Brooklyn, NY, chop-shops, no more Russian-made Skodas sold in Detroit ... I can't think of anything else impacted by previous sanctions. The US consumer is really suffering. Let's hope the list isn't expanded.
But wait! Importing Russian oil and utilizing their space-launch facilities remain on the okay list. Like, man, what else is there to sanction?
I think USA is out on the sidelines for the helium 3 trip. With Russia and China using 1.5 cent per kilowatt hour fusion produced electricity, I see no reason why they would let us into the game. We have nothing to offer but bad ideas and golf.
The O is trying to give Fat Boy, in Pyongyang, a run for the money as most popular "leader".
Sanction Russian gas and oil. See if the Europeans go along with that. I'd love to see American's faces when gasoline is $7 or $8 a gallon... Europe's $15+ gallon. Should go over well.
I think you have a fair chance that you will see that.
The EU should join Russia and China. What are they stupid.
Gonna be a lot of really pissed off Germans when the heat doesn't come on this winter. Didn't work out too well for the world the last time the Germans got really pissed.
