What A Difference A Week Makes In International Diplomacy
It is often said that a picture paints a thousand words, so here are 3000 words on the state of international diplomacy.
This week's G-20 Meeting... Obama front-and-center between China's Xi and Brazil's Rousseff (just in front of Britain's Cameron) with Putin almost out of shot
Note that there is one constant: China is always in the middle.

Winter is coming.... Bitchez
Putin is standing away from the stench of that pile of shit crowd
baaa
Two words. Tommy. Gun.
Where's that Ozzie Abbott at in that photo.
Adolf Eichmann Abbott is smack in the middle of the front row: Washington's little dupe. He's the only one who still doesn't know how MH17 was machined gunned down by Kiev dispatched fighter jets.
PS This photo is to Vlad's benefit back home.
Message: Russia being suppressed, misunderstood and manipulated by Entire West!
No one said it was going to look pretty.
It's always a good idea to stick a bear into a corner.
Yeah feeling all USA ish and .ready for the eastern front. We have such great leadership and all. Now just where is this place called Kursk ?
NATO is looking for a city on the Volga that used to be called Stalingrad

FUCK the G-20!
I HATE to say that I side with the Russians, but...
FUCK!
FUCK the G-20 (Oh. I already said that, didn't I?).
'International' fucking 'Diplomacy'. A bunch of slavering, drooling foxes deciding which one gets to guard the chicken coop this week.
WELL. My 'bank account' just became a DEBT INSTRUMENT EXTRORDINAIRE, and can be used and abused as THEY see fit (officially). ZIRP just went NIRP for YOU PERSONALLY, and woe to you who hold paper money digital transactions in their BANK!
I'm awaiting the 'Executive Order' by OBOLA to force the codification of the U.N. 'Small Arms Treaty' in the CONUS, now.
The downarrowing paid trollista mystery ZH blogger bagman avatarista is dancing across the posts, now.
Hell, my posts are so fucking depressing that I'd downarrow myself (if I wasn't telling the truth).
They have LOTS of 'basement levels' in the underground bases scattered around the world. Can you IMAGINE 10 or 20 STORIES of weak and innefectual pussy-bois sitting around in their underwear, eating Cheetos (TM), and reading the posts (trying to decide which ones get the dreaded 'downarrow')? I bet their momma, Mr. Yellen, is up there now, yelling at them...
Sorry. I used the wrong name. 'OBOLA' should be 'CANNIGULA the FIRST'.
"Ma, can we get some meatloaf?"
What, you mean the photoshopped "satellite" photograph showing a 4.5 kilometre long Boeing 777 (demonstraby not MH-17 by its markings) being shot at by a Ukraine fighter jet?
That's the "evidence" that all the other fools now believe?
Abbott deserves to be smack in the middle of the front row.
Highly reminiscent of the school playground. What children our "Leaders" are...
AND There is nothing like even moar debt:

When Tony 'Hey' Abbott got elected I wasn't worried. I figured it was only a matter of time. He'd throttle himself trying to do his own tie like a big boy, or drown in the shower, or maybe even just wander off. Sadly none of these things have happened. And so the world got to hear Tonester whine about not being able to get a $7 payment up, but also boast that had managed to get the Coalition's best mates paid by ditching the carbon tax. I mean WE all know he's an ineffective, talentless wanker in the employ of big mining, but we also figured he'd want to keep that our secret. Like Warney's flipper, the best surfing spots, or the truth about drop-bears. Secret's out now. Tony's meat on a hook, even Alan Jones is coming after him :) When you get the right wing radio nutjobs offside, and you're one of them, you're toast.
Oh who the hell cares anymore.
All Kabuki Shit Show Theater.*
If anybody was really serious they'd pass and release a statement saying it's a fucking waste of time and effort.
* Only difference was that Mystery Science Theater 3000 was entertaining and funny
Can't expect the actors to say the theatre is a waste of time.
Exactly. These fucking meetings are about as worthless as Hollywood's innumerable "award" shows. More PR and propaganda from our betters.
$2 trillion in additional global GDP? Even the lies are beyond credibility...except for suck asses like Krugman.
I really try to be open minded when looking at politics but some things are so damned hard to do. The one thing that continually sticks in my throat is this "shutting down the government" theme and how we can have both the house and senate passing bills to be sent to the president and yet one man, the president of the United States, can veto them and yet it is the republican's fault. It always has been. This is understandably how the democrats would always see it but the public's impression of reality is almost solely created by the press. We even see the republicans fully accepting this by stating they will not now and maybe never send anything to Obama that he would veto if it would potentially shut down the spending. It just seems incredible that this can stand, that the press can do this endlessly and never get called on it and having done so for so long that the republicans themselves have rationalized it.
When they're not busy getting drunk in a bar somewhere, the press collectively have 100% of their heads up the Democratic Party's buttocks.
Man ain't that the truth.
Happened to stumble across Meet the Depressed this morning. Bobby Jindal interview with Chuck Todd. So Todd says, I'm paraphrasing here, "If Obama signs an Executive Order on immigration do you support republicans shutting down the government again?"
His answer was priceless, again paraphrasing, "If Obama chooses to shut down the government by signing an Executive Order countermanding existing immigration law agreed to by Congress & the Executive branch..."
Todd interrupts: "Wait, you're twisting my words!"
It was like a breath of fresh air ;-)
I'm pretty sure Chuck Todd is married to Barney Frank, the jackass.
Wait a minute?
There are no differences between the Dem's and the Rep's. They are all puppets.
Kabuki eh, when do the 2 fat guys in diapers butt heads?
That would be Sumo, you moron...
"Oh who the hell cares anymore. "
1) The Rothschild banksters.
2) The Zionists.
3) The puppets of the above.
An American, not US subject.
4) My guillotine.
Putin thinks you better burn your wortless fiat currency to stay warm, because he doesn't take American express and he don't take your paper. Gold is all you need, thank you
Got Gold
Putin was near the emergency exit ....
Understandably he had in mind: "these guys fuck them."
hehe.
or buk 'em.
War is coming.
A debt free nation is verbaten.
No?
What happened to Libya?
debt free and friendless
You say it like it's a bad thing...
you wouldnt want to be friends with much of the 'Western' bloc, especially the ones who are coked out of their minds, up to their eyeballs in debt and who have developed a nasty habit of swinging a gun wildly around the room shouting "If I go down, I'm takin you all with me"
Yeah, with friends like that . . .
Kadafi was the toast of the town all over Europe just a mere months before he was taken out
European leaders were falling over each other to show him all the pomp and circumstance of a head of state
Jump a couple months and the same Western leaders were all over Libya like jackals over a fresh kill
Putin does well to keep his distance
Putin wasn't placed there. He just went and stood there by himself because he did not want to be seen near those losers. He had a sort of eeeeewww moment.

You're fucking sick.
Winter is already here.
I looked out the window for Global warming and all I saw was weather.
Maybe next year.
Or, if the ONE gets his climate change treaty with china approved and his 20 billions in climate
change reparations to the "colored" poor nations; in the next 25 years.
If the developed nations can get this climate change religion really going, it is going to make the British days of colonialism look like a teddy bear's picnic!
Once the green bank is set up the developed nations tax their local morons who actually think global warming is real (and can be stopped with taxes). They use this tax to give grants to the green bank. Then, they mandate that the poor countries also must invest into stopping global warming. But the poor countries battle to put one rock on top of another, so they must borrow the money from the green bank with interest, then pay the developed nations to engineer and build the green energy projects.
It's like the East India Company on MASSIVE steroids. The real beauty will be when (they are already doing it) the developed nations do another big investment into nuclear energy, and tell the poor countries that they can only have solar panels and whirly gigs. Colonialism is about to be turned up a notch!
One ring to rule them all
And in the darkness, bind them.
sounds like a strong pimp hand. amazing.
Is that Pena Nieto next to Putin ? Hope they are doing some talking...
North Korea also doesn't have trillions in debt.
Also Russia GDP is $2.057 trillion
EU GDP is $18.451 trillion
Anyway - I understand ZH will think new ways to show how their dear leader Putin is strong and loved all around world no matter what reality say.
amen. downing passenger jets is par for the course.
Steel framed buildings can kill a lot more than a single airliner.
Holy shit, if I had a dime for every dumbass with his "Loose Change" conspiracy bullshit... I'd buy the Fed.
Pretty good name. Your willful ignorance is exposed.
You say so, Champ.
Youtube MIRROR posting: Everything you need to know about 9/11, in less than 5 minutes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDFf4eClROk
meanwhile back in the real world the russian economy is tanking and the ruble is going down the toilet. yep putin played a blinder.
You mean over the Persian Gulf?
No. He means over the Ukraine as Ukraine MIGs shot MH17 out of the sky AS WELL as shooting down that Iranian Passenger Jet.
And the USA backed the killing of civilians...as they did when they were complicit with the Saudis and Israel in taking out the World Trade Center in 2001.
But the loss of life listed in those previously listed events pales in comparison to this prolonged atrocity committed by the United States.
Madeline Albright, former US Secretary of State under Slick Willie Clinton gleefully said, on National Television that our direct slaughter of ONE HALF MILLION IRAQI CHILDREN DURING THE DECADE OF THE 1990s WAS WORTH IT. Most were under FIVE YEAR OLD WHEN THEY WERE KILLED.
If that is not a War Crime then I do not lnow what is.
Of course the former USSR has been guilty of atrocities also.
He is just a psychopath lacking any moral decency as he backs the atrocities of the USA backed UKRANIAN GOVERNMENT..
got jim henson?
EU population: 507 million => 36000/capita (But not Greece, or Spain of course)
Russia population: 143 million => 14000/capita
They are catching up fast. And if you consider the levels of public and private debt they may well already have surpassed EU citizens in terms of overall wealth on a personal basis.
Russia HDI index 0.778
Germany HDI index 0.911
Russia GDP nominal per capital $14,317
Germany GDP nominal per capital $47,201
Russia economy soly based on oil & gas - doesn't have tehnology to export. Look what happens if ruble get's weaker and oil prices drop. Russia reserves only from weak ruble has burned this year from 510 billion to 400 billion - and still burning.
The what index?...do you know how exactly this index is calcualted? Or is this another one of those corruption indexes...which don't account lobbying as corruption.
Your reply is interesting. When replying to 'VIEDOKLIS_LV', please use the formal 'U.S. State Department' header, and refer to the name 'Victoria Nuland' (the fucking Nazi 'fuck the E.U.' bitch). Note carefully the AVATAR...
All the Russians have is the fact that they are the world's largest exporter nation of Natural Gas, and the second-largest exporter of Oil. THAT, and they like to sell their old unfinished technology (like that Chinese aircraft carrier). And they figured out that oil is ABIOTIC in the 1970's (KOLA SG 'superdeep' wells). AND, they can make liqour from potatoes. AND, they span 14 timezones out of 24. AND, they have most of the world's 'rare earths'.
The 'HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX' is apparently that set of statistics which is used by HUMAN RESOURCE 'officers' to quantify the value of that which they deem 'worthy'.
http://www.thinkhdi.com/
http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/human-development-index-hdi
THAT would be; a main driver of certain U.N. agendas.
And just what is the US economy based on"? Financial fraud, US dollar hegenomy backed up by murder and militarism? How is the US doing education wise in math and science comnpared to Russia? Seems like 80% of our engineers and scientists are imports from Asia and other third world countries - seems all the home grown Ivy leaguers are into speculation , financial services and fraud and creative ways to suck the lifeblood out of mainstream America -
Whose future is brighter?
Merkias future is brighter, much brighter, blindingly so.
"based on oil & gas " ... Better to have these to export than financial crap and technology when SHTF
So Viedoklis, what is the HDI and GDP of Ukraine, LOL!
how you convinently forget that USA buys Russian engines to put their rockets into orbit.
It's a pleasure to downvote you every single time you post, troll.
If you compare Russia to Germany then Russia is way behind. But what about the other EU nations such as Greece? The Greeks don't have much technology to export either and unlike the Russians they don't have a top notch arms industry (a very handy export earner) or vast reserves of timber and minerals (not just gas/oil).
Plus Russia mines more gold than the entire EU and unlike the Germans they have their gold on their soil.
That backwater country Russia is also working on putting their own space station into orbit, starting in 2017. Several modules already designed and/or built for the ISS will be used in Russian station instead. This station is planned primarily with the purpose of serving as an intermediary base for vehicles destioned for the Moon. All this while NASA is busy with its muslim outreach program.
Another useful statistic would be 'resources per capita'. In the future that might become very important.
This is the Rhodesians vs. Leninists. Both are forms of collectivism, neo-feudalism and slavery.
The problems with your gdp estimates is that they are in dollars...this why nobody actually knows if China surpassed the US in gdp... my guess is that about half of that 18 trillion is that "financial" sector or government spending.
Facts & data really doesn't matter if you are brainwashed by Putin regime. I agree to that. Keep inveting new approuches to upkeep that Putin world view.
"Facts & data really doesn't matter..."
Here you go again with another self-exposé.
Do you disagree with my statement? How do you think people with much lower salaries than in the US live decently well in other countries? A dollar can go a really long way in other countries...so if you want to compare the actualy output of a nation please use something other than gdp
I'm a big fan of Latvia, "Views," and I understand and can respect that Russia-hating is a big part of Latvian culture - but Putin's not the bad guy here. Perhaps a little bit of soul-searching on the meaning of the European Union's soviet mandates on Eastern Europe's economies might be in order?
yeah, facts dont matter to you.
Riddle me this, troll: Why NATO has not been able to produce even one verifyible photo oft he alleged Russian invasion?
Cuz the "Russian invasion" is as real as those WMD SHrub Jr ssaid he was 100% sure were in Iraq.
It's a supreme pleasure to downvote yo EVERY SINGLE time, troll.
"Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most"
Indeed.
You're right about Mutti's eyes, but I'm not sure if he said what the English subtitles say.
Putin to merkel: No metter what you do, you will be fucked anyway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xfnjYYy2lM
"result must be the same" and "you will be fucked" doesn't mean same thing.
If this is how now russian is being translated than I understand why so many westerners without russian language knowledge be so easily manipulated by Putin regime lie propoganda.
The thing that's being missed here is that they are all psychopahic nut jobs who don't give a shit about Joe Public, other than how much they can steal from them without waking too many people up.
down the vote you go yet again!
Wow, I'm shocked! ruskie trolls in ruskie propoganda site has downvoted truth exposing ruskie lies. I'm shocked! How can I live any further here :)
Get real! I don't give a shit about your downvotes. If I cared I would not be here :)
Clear proof that Putin hates Homosexuals!
that's not barry, that's a cartoon

Heh! Now that's a fight I'd pay cash dollars to see! Or even binary yuan!
(My email virus should be hitting State right about now, I'll just shuffle off stage right and head for the plane...)
Uai!
This is a bad trait?
A guy who values family unity, man marry a woman and having children is a bad thing?
Where are Western values?
In Russia!
This business of homosexuality is wrong, everyone knows but is afraid to speak.
It's like criticizing Jewish, soon you're branded a Nazi mercilessly, fucking useless to argue that Israelis are even worse than the Nazis did.
hehe.
whether you think something is wrong or not doesn't matter - if you don't like it, then don't do it.
trying to force your ideas on someone else is the problem - other people are under no obligation to follow your ideas.
people who try to force their ideas on others are agressors, and the enemy of civilized society.
So you agree that the radical homosexuals that are taking over Gaymerikka are the problem then, yes?
Lame.
You said "if you don't like it, don't do it." LMAO!
Tell that to the bakery that didn't want to decorate a gay wedding cake but was forced by government Nazis to do it. Tell that to parents who were shocked hear from their lower school kids how they are being taught how anal sex is just wonderful and normal and an act of love.
Liberals and most homosexuals do NOT believe in tolerance. They simply will NOT tolerate your values. This is not a plea to live and let live. This is a new world order, 1984-style systematic dismantling of traditional gender roles and family structure.
And before you rush to the reply button to see how fast you can type out the word homophobe, you should know I have a gay cousin that is my age. He has always been gay. But he doesn't go around talking to 6 year-olds about anal sex, and he'd gladly bake his own damn cakes.
The thing everyone forgets about Russia is that they hit the reset button in 1998 when they defaulted. That's why their debt to GDP is so low.
It's also why no one in the Eurozone is allowed to default. The TPTB want to drag on the misery in the West and Japan for as long as they possibly can.
True, but 1998 was a long time ago and look at how much debt the west has piled on since 1998.
FanTAStic point. Russia really did an interesting job of showing the money-changers who was boss. Defaulting on debt is certainly within the "national" perogative, consequences be damned.
That and taking back Yukos from the Rothchilds agents.

Where's the tranny M? Don't see much of her/him these daze? Probably got some $100m vacation setup for after the holidays.
This is all very much fucked up. OK, I might score some downvotes here, but anyhow.. Let's jump from Z to A and from Y to B.. Coming from Europe. Many people here, meaning Europe, still have in their mind, a clear reminder of who ever collaborated during WW2. Even stories from their families. Quite a nasty discussion / situation. I cannot help to see the exact parallel emerging right now, ie. Putin/East vs West. This is not by any means an effort to compare both events. I try to say, some people will observe it as such: "Whoever likes the Eastern gameplay, label him accordingly, whoever chooses to become debt slave, that then would be the good guy, right?" Man, people really need to know they cannot fight mathematics and they need to understand that it's over. Hate to say it, especially on ZH thread, but not enough "truth" finds its way to the common people / sheeple. ZH provides excellent info. Excellent. Yet, it all remains a total mess. And I would very much applaud the - whoever you might be guy - to just blow it all up, meaning, exposing it to everyone, via means, not a single person can avoid. I just cannot identify the medium. There are guys out there who are risking their lives for exposing the truth. Heroes they are. HEROES. And they'll all find their right place in the history books, because they did it for the cause. Watch the strikes in Europe... "The beginning". This is gonna go insane. Whoever is in politics, finance. Good luck!

7- Snyper (such as Kennedy).
8- Armed Forces (as Korea Airlines or USS Liberty).

If nothing else, these photos are a perfect example of how childish, petty and pathetic our leaders are. It's all about them and their perceived importance on the world stage.

Who photo shopped the G20 photo. Did the author do it just for shits and giggles ?
Yes, the G20 photo was photoshopped (original HERE) and the silly-time APEC photo is presented over and over here as the official APEC photo, when in fact the official photo has the US president at the host's right hand side (HERE).
It's fun if people understand it is a joke, but most people seem to take it seriously.
so do they have little pieces of paper with your name printed on it on the rugs, does somebody lead you to your spot. or do you just wander around trying to read Chinese characters and such.. Inquiring minds want to know how they get all those people lined up in their right spot and how long all the confusion takes.
They do it the old fashioned way, tea leaves and pointing with your lips.
These comic photo strips are a constant reminder to me of how our (un)elected leaders love to bloviate their importance. Working for and on behalf of Elite Robber Barrons, Banksters, NeoCONs who use tax payer monies to arm tewwewists or jihadi western mercs and the vile MSM Propaganda HACKS and who generally could not give a rat's arse for the working man and woman.
I sleep!

Didn't Putin say he was leaving early?
He's standing by thr door to get out early and avoid the zillions of groupies, like us at zh, waiting for him outside.
I was connected to rock and roll in NY in the 70's (Ramones) and i know how annoying groupies can be.
"Oh, look. There he is coming out of the side door. (running and waving arms in the air) EeeeeeeYiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii." "
Oh Mr. Putin, please scratch your name on my cell phone."
Are you kidding me? Putin is a Nazi.
He's a Bolshevik purger. That's his problem.
Let me know when you get Putin backstage and give him a blowjob homos.
