"Europe Is Under Threat By Russia" George Soros Warns The EU To Take Action, "Freedom Isn't Free"

E.U. May Crack Over Ukraine, Soros Warns
The legendary Hungarian-American investor, George Soros, told Handelsblatt that the European Union and euro currency zone could unravel if member countries can't agree on a unified response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine.
The European Union and the euro could founder if its members don’t stand together against Russia, George Soros said Tuesday in Düsseldorf. Source: Frank Beer for Handelsblatt George Soros, one of the world’s richest men and a tireless defender of Central European democracy, warned that the European Union, a mainstay of post-war stability, could dissolve and unravel if the 28-country bloc can’t agree on a common response to Russia’s aggression in the Ukraine.
Speaking on Tuesday in Düsseldorf at a dinner sponsored by Handelsblatt, Mr. Soros, an 84-year-old Hungarian-American who survived the Holocaust and then fled the Soviets, said the future of the European alliance of nations stretching from Ireland to Estonia could hang in the balance.
Russia this year seized the Crimean peninsula from the Ukraine and is now arming and supporting a separatist movement in the eastern part of the country, an action which has been met with economic sanctions from the United States and the European Union.
The sanctions have hurt Russian and European trade, and have led to a slowdown of economic growth on the Continent. In Germany, some business and political leaders are now calling on political leaders to abandon the E.U. sanctions.
In other parts of Europe, the call is growing louder for a softer line with Russia.
“I think the real question is whether the European Union will break up over Russia," Mr. Soros told 400 people at a dinner held in a Düsseldorf museum by the German financial publishing group. “The E.U. is under threat from Russia... The E.U. is broken, and it is not functioning."
Mr. Soros, a legendary investor and hedge fund manager whom Forbes estimates is worth $24 billion, warned of an E.U. breakup and a breakup of the euro single currency zone, which includes 18 E.U. countries, including Germany.
In an interview with Gabor Steingart, the Handelsblatt publisher and the son of a Hungarian emigrant to Germany, Mr. Soros urged Europeans to stand together against Russia, which he said is bent on reasserting its military hegemony over parts of the Continent.
“Wake up Europe," said Mr. Soros, who had just returned from a visit to Ukraine. “There is now an alternative to the European Union, a different way to run a state through use of force. I’m talking about (Vladimir) Putin’s Russia. The reason he is making headway is because of the failure of the E.U."
The son of Jewish parents in Budapest, Mr. Soros survived the Nazi occupation and left the Hungarian capital and Soviet control in 1947 as a 17-year-old for Britain, where he attended the London School of Economics before emigrating to the United States.
Western economic sanctions against Russia, which are limiting the ability of Russian businesses to obtain financing on the global market, are a necessary evil, Mr. Soros said. He lauded the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, for supporting the E.U. penalties.
“I think Angela Merkel has proven herself to be a true European stateswoman in recognizing the danger that Putin represents," Mr. Soros said.
The sanctions, however, are helping Russian hardliners close to President Putin consolidate power and influence in the Kremlin, which in turn is sharpening and stiffening Russia’s response to Western penalties, he said. Some oligarchs unhappy with the worsening situation are sending their families abroad and preparing for their own exits, he said.
In many cases, though, any assets they leave behind are being taken over by Russian hardliners, which is worsening the spiral of recrimination with the West, Mr. Soros said.
“The sanctions are an evil but they are a necessary evil and are having the very bad effect in Russia of actively strengthening Putin’s role," Mr. Soros said. “There is taking place a concentration of his closest allies." Sentiment in Germany is split over E.U. sanctions against Russia.
In a new book released this month, the former German chancellor, Helmut Kohl, who oversaw his country’s reunification 25 years ago and negotiated the withdrawal of Russian forces, takes aim at Ms. Merkel and European leaders for policies he said are isolating Russia.
Mr. Soros, however, said Europe needed to redouble its hard line against Russia, and said that U.S. President Barack Obama’s failure to take a strong immediate response to Russia’s seizure of Ukraine territory only emboldened Vladimir Putin, who could conceivably transfer his designs from Ukraine to the Baltic countries, which are now E.U. members.
"Freedom sounds like a free good, but you have to be ready to defend it," Mr. Soros said. “If you don’t put up resistance, it will become too hot to handle."
Pro-European Ukrainians are “fighting to defend Europe and the Europeans don’t realize it,’’ Mr. Soros said. Moving on to economic issues, Mr. Soros faulted Germany for doing too little to restore euro zone stability. He said the inflation-fighting mandate of the European Central Bank, which is based in Frankfurt, is no longer appropriate when deflation, not inflation, is the real threat.
The ECB is controlled by Germany, the zone’s largest economy and toughest enforcer of austerity demands on weaker euro countries such as Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, Mr. Soros said. Referring to the ECB president, Mario Draghi, Mr. Soros said: “Draghi can do whatever it takes (to save the euro) as long as he has the support of Angela Merkel," Mr. Soros said. “The ECB is independent as long as it has support from Germany."
German demands for austerity are wrong-headed, he said, and only serve to impede the euro zone’s recovery.
"The policy of austerity is inappropriate to the current conditions," Mr. Soros said. "We are in a situation of deflation and the policies are directed at inflation."

He's behind Barry.
Ask John Major about Soros. Soros attacked the Pound Sterling,Major attempted to prop it up,and at the end of the week the UK ended up having to devalue anyway.Something like 50 billion cost to UK taxpayer,money which could have been spent elsewhere.
Soros and his bunch are parasites.Hedge funds want to talk loud about capitalism but when they get squeezed (LTCM) they scream for a bailout same as everyone else. Assholes....
LOL! Soros is a spokesman for the elites. It must mean their plan for world domination is being seriously threatened by Russia and China. Too bad the reporter didn't ask him the logic behind his statements. I'm sure we would all have a good laugh with that one!
Maybe George believes he has a solution to the EU's youth unemplyment problem. He wants to send the kids to Ukraine to be slaughtered, problem solved. /sarc
But what if they refuse to go? Hmmm.
It's too bad money equals microphone time.
This assplug needs a steaming hot cup of shut the fuck up.
money does not care who owns it
Money used to buy media time. Now there's an idealogical hurrdle as well. Soros has access because he's on message.
The old fascist hag Soros is at it again.
Enought of him! Let him depart to the next realm.
The walkin dead. One foot on a bannana peel. Prolly like the old lady getting fucked while he wathces. Shes only in her 40's.
Soros: "...the European Union, a mainstay of post-war stability"
ROTFL. It is exactly what Soros wants in Europe: a fascist, corporatist unaccountable dictatorship.
"Russia this year seized the Crimean peninsula from the Ukraine and is now arming and supporting a separatist movement in the eastern part of the country"
Russia "seized" Crimea??? Russia is "arming and supporting" East Ukraine??
Where's the evidence??
Soros: "I think the real question is whether the European Union will break up over Russia"
That would indeed be a blessing for most Europeans.
Soros is obviously suffering from dementia and needs putting down ...
Here we are: "The son of Jewish parents in Budapest, Mr. Soros survived the Nazi occupation"
smacker, some evidence is there. The official Act of Annexation by the Russian Duma and the official referendum in Crimea, to which no foreign observers were allowed
evidence, mind you. but nothing I like, so far, and not evidence for keeping treaties straight
That may be so, but before the Russian Duma had their say, the Crimean people had their say.
Apart from one or two lying UK/Euro/US politicians, nobody has seriously questioned the Crimean vote to rejoin Russia. 96% in favour I believe. After all, most of them speak Russian as a first language. And I hear no blowback from the annexation.
96% of those who voted, in a referendum that was both hasty and in difficult, scary times and not accessible by yours truly to witness, and anybody foreign to monitor
and among those who did not vote, because they boycotted the referendum, you'll find the Crimean Tatars, the "indigenous" population of Crimea since the Middle Ages, and with old ties to Turkey. again, only evidence, but not of my liking
Turkey itself refrained from annexing the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Are they supposed to feel foolish, now?
Well you know my friend, only about 2/3rds of Brits vote in elections and there are no international observers to catch the fraudulent postal votes from Ahmed and his 1,000 cousins. Are we any better?
I'm satisfied that a majority of Crimeans voted to rejoin Russia. As I said, I've heard of no blowback or locals claiming the vote was fraudulent.
I won't refer to the idigenous People,(Byzantines and before that Greek, mostly Greek speakers) before the Tatars. And the Turks are not indigenous in Turkey either. (Lovely Turks disposed Armenians, Greeks and Syriacs from Turkey in the period 1914 -1922, with the help of Imperial German Officers/sark off).
The Germans never learn do they? They are played like a fiddle by the Perpetual Banksters.
Greece invaded Turkey post WWI and got there asses handed to them. Post WWI Greece had Asian posessions, like Smyrna, by 1922, all gone.
I know he can afford way more freedom than me.
"LEAVING the European Union would save every Dutch household €9,800 ($13,400) a year by 2035, claims Capital Economics, a London consultancy, in a report commissioned by Geert Wilders’ far-right PVV party. Mr Wilders calls this “the best news in years”, painting a picture of a country freed from the chokehold of Brussels, mass migration and high taxes, and enjoying more trade, more jobs and a booming economy."

Who elected this piece of shit?
I don't recall Russia starting the Ukraine fiasco.
I believe the opening line was "Fuck the EU." I don't think it was Putin that said it.
Shhh, O.Z., you might wake a sheep or two. Just join them in narcosis, won't you? Remember: we're the good guys, and that's not to be questioned.

The Euro crisis in reality is a British balance of payments crisis.
The euro roboten flooding to England cannot produce as they have no ability to create inside of Mordor.
Figures 9.1 to 9.4
yes, the whole universe revolves around the British Isles. we get it, ok?
you guys are making me laugh out loud at the office. Stop that.
The financial universe - yes.
Its the modern Venice.
Fuck you Soros and fuck your "freedom" to
I will never fight for the EU or one of its vazal states, I hope the EU will collapse soon.
Vlad has to deal with Cheese Face.
"Freedom isn't free," then pick up your gun and go fight Soros. You first. You're the leader.
"the European Union and euro currency zone could unravel if member countries can't agree on a unified response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine"
Translation: I, George Soros, could personally could lose investments if the sanctions are lifted, which would just be an unwelcome dent in my bottom line, so please, all you Euro serfs, toe the line and absorb your losses so I don't have to.
It's the new "noblesse oblige" - Soros is "noblesse" so you Europeans have to "oblige."
For example Spain has recently been put into further surplus with respect to the Uk post crisis causing a basic purchasing power crisis in Spain.
See figure 9.7
Not only must it subsidize British tourists and Pensioners but is now increasingly shipping its surplus goods (esp food) to England so as to gain access to tokens.
This is not a free trade system.
This is a criminal system of energy direction towards financial centers of concentration.

OK now - close go-round this time
So, basically, Soros is about to lose a lot of money...
Ha.
Is Soros too weak to pick up a nailgun?
When that revolution starts, his head will be among the first to roll. His assets will go back to where they belong.
Someone on here said before they'd throw a party when this fucker dies. I'm in.
"Freedom sounds like a free good, but you have to be ready to defend it. If you don’t put up resistance, it will become too hot to handle." --G. Soros
Translation:
"We NWO elite are this close to consolidating our strength in the center of the grand chessboard, but to seal the deal we'll need a just a few million more of you lowly obedient debt slaves to come on over and get chopped up, shredded, and certifiably shattered on our behalf. We'll never learn what your names were, nor care much for the lifetimes of agonized bereaving that await your loved ones, but when we're moored in Yalta hosting banker parties on our 300-foot yachts, don't think we won't be grateful!"
Dear Mr. Soros, the EU is not functioning... the way... YOU want
That's a FAR cry from "not functioning"
Further, cut this BS on Germany and the ECB
That's so... hierarchical
A "take me to your leader mentality" followed from "which one has power of life and death over the others?"
It is very telling on how you think and act, not us
He's got a grip, albeit loose one in Ukraine and Argentina by one tit and Elliots Paul Singer, Sen Grahams Sugar Daddy, has her by the other, and his favorite Green girl lost in Brazil, even though a plane crash was thrown in, while Brazils Winner has cancer, a la Chavez. At least 3 those activists in Africa that contracted Ebola are connected to the foundation. One unbelievably..the reincarnation of a Dalai llama..so his cult says..you cannot make this stuff up.. Anything to control the resources as well destroy the Brics if he can't control them. It's a lot easier to save the Earth by taking this guy out than trying to stop asteroids that collide with earth. Yet we let this monster roam. Between these guys and Mcaine and Graham the world edges to extinction..
Maybe there should be a permanent thread established here to identify all these "people" by name and deeds.
I see websites that document serial killers. BUT no permanent running record that documents the deeds against humanity that various characters have perpetrated and continue to perpetrate.
I am talking documentation and verified links. (not reptilian eyelid photos). The real dirt on financial enslavement. Of wars created for profit.
A permanent link that cannot be taken down.
In other words. A website that encompasses our collective knowledge of history (before it is whitewashed and edited)....a website that documents the actual history of all of this madness,
Because it could be that WW3 could wipe this knowledge.
anyone volunteer? Hey Zero Hedge? I know Wiki tries.
Wiki tries???? WTF??? WIki is edited more closely than was the old Pravda.
Oh come on, now! George would *never* talk his book...
I think Georgy Porgy is worried about the spread of "ugliest bitch" disease coming his way with a "pair of handcuffs" or worse?...
It's the equivalent of Ebola to the Western banker!
Who still listens to that decrepit money-obsessed bitch? The only time that disgusting shemale ever told the truth was when she boasted of having worked for the Nazis during WW2.
Dirty fascist.
“The sanctions are an evil but they are a necessary evil.."
Beware, Mr. Soros : YOU are not a necessary evil, the world can do WITHOUT you -- and I bet you've started to sense it recently.
Those terorists in self proclaimed "Luhansk republic" will arrest women who are in cafe because they should be doing household jobs and those women who are raped are responsible for that because of provocation.

“The sanctions are an evil but they are a necessary evil and are having the very bad effect in Russia of actively strengthening Putin’s role,"...
Truly amazing what we are witnessing from this Ashke"nazi's" fetid "shit hole" that doubles as his mouth!
At least the motherfucker is being halfway honest about the "evil" he's perpetrating in that part of the World.
Only wish the Zionist piece-of-shit would be honest enough to say the "war crimes" word(s) in that statement about his actions of murdering men women and children for control of that Region being a necessary evil so that his confession can be made complete!
Perhaps Pope Francis can have the MSM available to take pictures of both he and George Soros like John did with his alleged assassin Mehmet Ali Agca?...
What an inspirational moment of pure evil confessing to God for his sins to the World it would be!!!
Mr. Soros the kappo, has shamefully outlived most of the survivors of WWII. >:(
"Mr. Soros, an 84-year-old Hungarian-American who survived the Holocaust.", Yeah many NAZI's survived the holocaust. Strange isn't it.

This didn't make the news yesterday on the emergency visit from Christine to the White House... I wonder why?!!!
Hope this crony capitalist doesn't see the next decade!
Do we have to wait so long?
Soros has the blood of many innocent people on his hands as he has been a primary supporter of color revolutions in Europe, including the recent one in Ukraine that has resulted in deaths of thousands. He must really be desperate now if he wants the EU to get further involved in that mess. How much money does he have at stake in European banks?
This is the second time in as many weeks that Mr.Schwartz has farted out his warnings about Russia.
"We heard you the first time, Schwartz"
Can I be the grave digger at his funeral?
I promise to dig more than 6 feet down. I just want to make sure he gets to hell on time.
Or should we cremate him and have his ashes flushed?
Soros is so ugly, please ensure he is buried face down.
And with his sorry ass sticking out so that vistors can park their bikes.
Why does this look familiar ?

As if I need a lecture on freedom from a Nazi snitch like Soros. How many people lost their lives at the hands of this c**t. let alone their freedom.
"Russia and the world is under threat by Soros and his NWO fucktards." There, fixed it for you. We're not buyin' it this time Georgie. Go strap on a helmut and pick up a gun yourself, and fight your own battles if you think it's so fucking important, you cowardly weasel. Did you really think you could con the Goyim again into fighting wars for your filthy profits?
" Did you really think you could con the Goyim again into fighting wars for your filthy profits?"
Why not? It's happened before on countless occasions,
So like when Soros attacked the BOE in 1992 on Black Wednesday and got paid off.

How did George Soros "break the Bank of England"?http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/george-soros-bank-of-england.asp
George Sore-Ass
For the record "soros" in classical Greek means coffin or cadaver.
Well done.
When looked up the first "O" it is with an Omega as in Swros.
It fits perfectly
.
It is such a relief to read such utterly evil bullshit spouted by Soros, as above in that article, and then see that the vast majority of comments and votes on those comments feel the same way!
The planet will rejoice when soros is 6 feet under, and the day cannot come soon enuff.
The World is Under Threat By SorosWhat George said is so utterly false, so utterly absurd, and so utterly misguided in so many ways, to comment in detail is pointless.
EU is almost as far from free as can be imagined (okay, maybe not as far as North Korea, but give the EU more time).
Events in Eukraine are of almost zero significance to the EU or the nations swallowed by the predators who control the EU. In fact, if all Eukraine allied with Russia, all the "energy flow problems" would vanish in a matter of weeks if not days.
The USSA is so dangerous these days, and getting so much more dangerous as time passes, Russia could be an extremely valuable ally to wise countries in the EU in years to come.
H_Annie - Luv the "Eukraine"... primo
The Evil old man wants war and too hell with the millions killed, just as long as he can position himself to take advantage financially. It will be a good day when he finally passes away.
The moneyed class is always happy to start a new profitable war. Why not, it's not like they intend to do the fighting.
Freedom? I have to question if anyone is really free anymore. It seems war has not been the answer for people all over the world, but lets focus on Ukraine
As time goes by Putin continues to rack up more points in the Ukraine as the conflict drags on. Things may have quieted down and the eyes of the world have moved to more pressing issues, as Putin is playing the long game by grinding away at the resolve of both bankrupt Kiev and the EU. A recently signed deal for gas supplies to Ukraine only highlights the fact the devil of any agreement is in the details. The Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said any resumed supplies could be halted again on Jan. 1 if Ukraine doesn’t pay $3.1 billion in debt prepay for future deliveries.
It appears this deal is tenuous and the guarantees of it being fulfilled are weak .Don't hold your breath for Putin to back-off or back-down, he has put down his marker and is now playing both Obama and Kerry for fools in a contest that may cost Russia little. If Putin doesn't get his way next week he will next month or next year at the latest. The article below delves into why this conflict won't be over until Putin says its over.

Tell me again George, what is it in Europe that Russia wants?
Dear Mr. Soros
Do everyone a favor and please collapse into a puddle of your own piss and shit and expire like a bad magazine subscription.
Sincerely,
Gofuckyourself
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Soros who crashed the British Pound? Sounds like the Eurozone has more to fear from Soros than it does from Russia.
you are correct. size helps some, not making too stupid mistakes, too
He did. and I lost money (as in Unit trusts).
I have NOT FORGOTEN.
Nazi collaborator.
Think this maggot Soros is the personification of evil??? Think he sprang live from the bunghole of Beezelbub? FYI... He has a sock puppet you may have heard of... BathHouse Barry Soetero...
Memo to George Soros: SHUT THE FUCK UP! This troll is demented.
Soros. Get your kids into the Ukranian volunteers. Show us daily videos of them under fire.
Then I might believe you are more than an opportunist.

Soros is pissed because he paid to put a bunch of NAZIs in charge in Ukraine so he could get the pipelines. They failed. Now he realizes he should have put them in charge in Germany. Soros is the very definition of a cunt.

"tireless defender of Central European democracy" I can only assume that's why he supports the unelected European Parliament.
It seems as if Soros doesn´t like that the Putin government seized Chodorkavsky´s assets and that he thinks that Yeltsin rule was better.
In the past, European courts have ruled that the Russian government did not twist and bend Russian laws in order to be able to confiscate Chodorkavsky´s assets (that changed after the coup d´état in Ukraine and the following Russian annexation if Crimea). But I assume that Chodorkavsky had not expected that the Russian government would try to use all available means to nail him.
I agree that Russia was not entitled to annex Crimea even though it seems as if a majority of the Crimean population prefers to be a part of Russia and voted accordingly. On the other hand I don´t think that Russia has acted worse than Victoria Nuland, CIA and George Soros who actually orchestrated a coup d´état against the democratically elected president of Ukraine. It is hard to claim that it was not a coup d´état. Demonstrators stormed the parliament and forced MP:s loyal to the president to oust him. It is also worries me that almost no mainstream media in the West has informed people about how Yanukovich was ousted and that they don´t inform people about the fact that Victoria Nuland specified who should be a part of the new government and who should not be a part of the new government in the eavesdropped “Fuck the EU” phone conversation. Our big media say that Russia is not a democracy since Russian mainstream media hide facts which the Russian government and their allies do not want people to know about. But we got the same problem in the West. The big media hide things that people like Barack Obama, John McCain, George Soros and Victoria Nuland do not want people to know about. We got the same problem here. They are using very similar methods.
The difference is that they think that Chodorkavsky should get his money back and that the oligarchs should rule Russia in the same way as in the 1990s.
But do we, ordinary people in the West, benefit from supporting George Soros and his buddies when they try to rape Russia´s economy like in the past? They want to use us against their enemy, Vladimir Putin, so that they can continue to rape Russia´s economy. They want the 1990s back. Furthermore, I wonder what would happen if they would like to do same thing to us as they did to the Russians in the 1990s? Would they try to incite the Russians against us in that case? Why shouldn´t they? The problem with people like Soros and his buddies is that they think that rigged privatizations are OK and that it is OK that his Yeltsin buddies make ordinary people´s bank savings worthless and to give people no paychecks for months so they are forced to sell their privatization coupons for a paltry sum. Furthermore, I can not see any reason why they should not think think it would be legitimate to use similar methods against us.
Considering what happened in the 1990s I think that Putin has been generous to the oligarchs of the Yeltsin era. He could have introduced taxes that would ruined the remaining oligarchs. But he didn´t. He just used existing laws. Similar things also happens in the West. The Swedish financier Mats Qviberg, for instance, ran into trouble when the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen) suddenly revoked the charter for a bank, HQ Bank, which he had founded and chaired. The stock then became worthless and many stockholders sued Qviberg. These lawsuits may ruin Qviberg. The Financial Supervisory Authority was not forced to revoke the charter of HQ Bank although they were perfectly entitled to do so. No case law or legislative history of enactment indicated in a very obvious manner what was the right thing do in this case. The reason why Qviberg got into trouble may have been that he had opposed the euro and that he had said that the Wallenberg foundations should not have stocks with extra voting power.
Potus needs a victory badly.
Geo Soros gives him the "Gulf of Tonkin".
Did you think there was some sort of problem?
The people of the EU would like to know how and where Mr. Soros has his investments placed at this time.
Are you shorting Euro, Herr Soros? Collapse not coming fast enough for you? I would bet my ass that Herr Soros has been shorting the Ruble and made sure his monkey puppet in the White House trash talked Russia to get the mission accomplished.
Clearly Herr Soros is a proponent of Russian sanctions and his American investments are probably benefiting from this.
This looks like grand treason and Herr Soros should be arrested immediately in Germany, then investigated and tried for the crimes. About high time this criminal gets put in the slammer somewhere.
Where is the BKA and the German justice system?
Leadership for long time interested me and I was lucky enough to see live close management of large multinational companies. I had the opportunity to see how it works, does not work, fails and falls. Therefore, to understand what is happening to the white man's civilization. I think our western civilization (and certain historical and cultural reasons, what I write below do not apply to the Asian, Russian civilization).
The elites of Western civilization has produced so far the most comprehensive theory of leadership and management systems of various kinds. A paradox of civilization, however, is that all their skills and efforts is wasted on "micromanagement". On excessively detailed and perfectionist management sub-processes. But not control society as a whole - holistically. Missing the main and most important assumption - for the conduct of no one not takes responsibility. Or do you know someone like that?
My answer to the fundamental question therefore is: White man does not and is not intended built civilization anywhere. Literally just hanging in space by uncontrolled Brownian reactive motion. If you think about it in any lines you know, it's just a spectacle that actors themselves believe in it.
In fact, it's even worse. The elites of Western civilization have decided not to allow real and solid management. Do you think it's a coincidence that all "non-democratic" regimes that over the last decade the US regarded as enemies (Iraq, Libya, Venezuela, the latest - Russia), have purposeful leadership?
The ideals of leaders of Western civilization are fast-moving solutions, "quick wins". Time in this world counts in quarters, released only by constant "growth". I did not encounter the approach for a very long cycles. Which would rely on the fact that some processes are maturing long and the results obtained to the next generation. This long-term thinking in decades and centuries would be the responsibility of the Company's characteristic. (This quick wins corporate thinking is transformed into governments as liberalism. This also visible as people from corporations are taking positions in governments. Reagan, Cheney, Rumsfeld, bunch of Goldman Sachs dolls.)
Based on personal experience, let me say that Western elites have no choice. Not enough personality between them, which should lead to a talent, knowledge, personality dispositions and should keep the space and support for long-term training. The company management requires special skills. Our Western society leaders requires fewer qualifications than is needed to ride the scooter.
Some states or groups have unquestionably broader objectives to which their management aims: US to maintain a world's leadership position, Israel survive, China increasing production to get economic strength and enhance the well-being of the population, Russia stabilize and modernize economy . Most less developed countries have content with the desire to get closer to those of the most developed or at least not to increase distance from them. In fact, however, it is only a partial objectives defined against the environment.
Capitalism is in crisis and nobody knows what to do. Although it is today a popular assertion that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, but it just ignores the problem.
Let me give you a personal experience. In the 80's I was involved in the prognosis of one of the agricultural sector. Most researches at the time only extended existing trends and the question for them was whether the annual growth will be 2 or 4%. Then came fall of the Berlin Wall and none of it is true. We have identified possible natural and social limits of the sector and to come to a level at which the output stabilizes. The result is substantially still valid. If I was ask to do similar prognosis today, I would not dare. Conditions are more turbulent, the variance of possible trajectories substantially larger, prognosis within a few years highly uncertain. Import of cheaper products or alternative products or changed economic conditions or legislative branch may dispose of a new rules in few months. ( Like Sanctions)
The world was beautiful in the 50s and 60s of the last century with the hope of world peace and unending technological development. Technical development is still rather accelerates, but the optimism disappeared somewhere.
There is a need to have one basic thing without which any system can not function - stability. And since the society was founded, and finally politics, to ensure stability. The one that is not up to specific moments functional, is actually useless.
The fifties and sixties can be compared to the industrial revolution in the late 18th century. There was exercising in full progress to satisfying the hunger for resources. Today, we need something else - optimize, streamline, to do more with what we have and not have to give up progress for all. That way it is possible, but the system is still set to the previous model. Growth today is cannibalism.
Consistent way of democraticized classical capitalism leads to collapse, not able to manage it. The East modified it. They introduced state capitalism, which separates economics from politics. ( Similar to traditional monarchy, see Hans Hoppe ) Just as the West has done a tremendous step forward by changing social conditions, when separated church from state, today the societies in the East separated economy from politics, which continues to not allow the microcosmos of group interests destroy the macro-world of common framework.
Read the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"
First the cheating business men come into the country "Economic Hitmen" to sell them, way overpriced infrastructure, with the intent that the poor country will default on the debt to the IMF... then they take over the resources and install an American Military base.
If the Country refuses to sign the deal, in come the Jackals (real hitmen) then they install a favorable president. Hmmm... sound familiar... Failing that comes the US Miltary.
Sound Familiar... Panama, Iran, Saudi Arabia,Iraq, Columbia, Ecuador...etc. Soon, Syria, Ukraine...

It will be a "Great Day" when Georgi Schwartz is Dead and Gone.
The destructive ego: Haven't the likes of Soros, Kissinger and McCain done enough harm already? These toxic wastes should be in jail.
No George, Merkel is not being a "statesman" because it is her choice. It's because she has no more power to oppose Washington's wishes than my state governor, and she refuses to come clean about this reality.
Sorry, but I don't see Putin as a threat. I'm certainly not going to war.
As for my freedoms, I am losing them already to someone else.
Oil in the 70s, the ruble in the 40s, the Russian central bank spending billions to prop it up, the Russian rainy day fund leaking like a sieve...ah, life is sweet!
Vlad and Elvira need to let the ruble float (er...sink like a stone) without intervention. Let's see what she's made of!
Does someone have a few clips of Vlad slamming hapless victims to the judo mat they could share with us?

Hopefully coming soon when he slams the arrogant Australian Prime Minister onto his back ! Tony (Mad Monk) Abbott said he was going to "shirt Front" Putin when he visits for the G20 later this month.
What aF$#@ wit we have as a PM. Sucking up to USA Govt & following the script in demonising Russia.
