This Is What Is Really Taking Place Behind The Scenes Of The Second US-Russian Cold War
It appears John Kerry is at it again. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the US Secretary of State called on him to "pay no mind" to a statement by President Obama, in which Russia was included to a list of top global threats. Seeking Russia's cooperation in Iran and on the Korean Peninsula, Kerry told Lavrov to "forget about" what Obama said. As US foreign policy credibility dissolves, we leave it to Lavrov to conclude, "it is flippant," he jabs, "it’s not appropriate for a powerful country to have such a consumer attitude to its partners - where you’re needed, help us; where you’re not, obey us."
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says US Secretary of State John Kerry called on him to “pay no mind” to a statement by President Obama, in which Russia was included to a list of top global threats.
President Obama voiced the three most significant global threats at the UN General Assembly in September. Ebola topped his list, followed by “Russian aggression in Europe.” In third place was the threat represented by the Islamic State extremist group.
"The first time I took note of the listing of threats that President Obama took the liberty of doing was when I spoke at the UN General Assembly. Some time later, talking to John Kerry not so long ago, I asked him what it was supposed to mean. He said: "Forget about it".
He said "forget about it" because at that moment he wanted to discuss how we would coordinate our approaches toward resolving the [problem of the] Iranian nuclear program and the situation on the Korean Peninsula," Lavrov said during a regular 'government hour' hearing at the State Duma on Wednesday.
"You see, it's unseemly for a major and great power to take such a consumerist approach toward its partners. Where we need you, please help me, and where I want to punish you, obey me," he said.

Not exactly the angry picture of cold-war-ism that Obama projects to the outside world as 'costs' are imposed on Europe!!
Do nothing stupid!!
* * *
Obama: "So how did you like that whole "costs" part? Was it too much? I think they bought it."
Vladimir: "You have been fantastic. Truly flexible, and so persuasive: I almost believed it myself. Great job comrade."

Putin just kicks ass....Obama is just a pussy.....dick sucking pussy. He has no balls...that manthing of a wife kicked those up his ass long ago. Putin...if you are reading this...we have a man crush and hope you understand that we did not choose this leader...the poor, gays, and illegals did.
Household income of over $100K voters in 2008 was 49 / 49. You can rewrite history to make yourself feel better though.
Also, who is "we"? The poors and gays are Americans.
Russia and China both know that the West is being destroyed by Western central banks.
The BRICS just tneed to stay out of the way and buy gold while the collapse is effected after which they are much better positioned.
Putin just stands back and watches the shit pile of lies the West spews keep growing.
Then, at an appropriate time, he makes his chess move.
Thank you Barak, we couldn't accumulate so much cheap gold without your help.
USSA foreign policy is an utter disaster. Be it Iran, Ukraine, Syria, Afganistan,Libya, Sudan, it is a dogs breakfast of a mishmash of ill conceived and incomprehensive policy turns. From the perspective of the banksters and MIC, the money train ride has never been better.
Barry Osama Obama will go down in history as one of the absolute worst Presidents. The sad part is that Barry has no say over policy and is only a figurehead for the banksters/military industrial complex.
The good news for Barry will be when he is out of office. He can then jettison Michael/Michelle/Wookie and focus on his true love, playing italian golf with Reggie.
Putin...if you are reading this...we have a man crush and hope you understand that we did not choose this leader...the poor, gays, and illegals did.
What a pathetic thing to say.

This USSA and J-mafia propaganda is bordering on the ridiculous...
Putin isn't trying to take our guns, steal our liberties, or tax and
spend us into bankruptcy. Putin didn't pass the Patriot Act and NDAA.
Putin didn't invade and bomb 7 different countries on lies. Putin isn't
letting in millions of immigrants. Putin didn't allow our banks to gut
the economy and rob the treasury. Putin didn't ship all our jobs to
Asia. Putin didn't give us Obamacare. Putin isn't listening to our
phone calls and reading our posts. Putin didn't arm ISIS.
So just what has Putin done to us? I seem to recall he kept the US govt
from taking us to war in Syria on a lie. And yet the US govt is still
trying to take us to war in Syria based on lies. That certainly makes
Putin an enemy of regular Americans.
Russia just allowed carry permits for self defense. It looks like the RF is rapidly becoming the beacon of the free world.
Unlike the average american beer swilling slovenly shlub, the russians know that they are at war with the USSA, and are preparing accordingly. There will be no fifth column fascist takeover of Russia this time. Should the USSA send in the usual stooges to attempt a violent takeover, they will quickly contract lead poisoning, russian style.
It is my sincere wish that after this geopolitical fuckup, this monumental political bungle, the neocons running the state department will finally be exiled to the wilderness, preferably in an ebola infested country. Only the likes of a Nuland/Nudelman could create conditions where the two most powerful nations in asia, russia and china, with india and iran in the wings, unite against the west.
Look at the US state-by-state concealed carry permit numbers, and also the gun purchases. The Russians aren't the only ones gearing up for a rumble with the Fedcoats.
That pic is taken just before Putin pushed Obama over.
The next frame is Obama flapping his arms, turtled on the ground
Everyone knows you watch what they do and ignore what they say.
Everyone that is except those so ideologically blind they either love or hate whoever they are listening to. Which for the most part is nearly everyone.
<Mission accomplished.>
Leave it alone already. Most people do not need your personal analysis of chinks in their armour of life
Give it a rest. You are starting to sound like the Pope.
In other words. I support your personal growth. But look at all you write akin to Richard Simmons. What happened? Your frackinf analysis is what happened... When did you lose touch? and become a paid advisor?
If you feel that way, why do you feel the need to "tell him off?" If what you say is true about what he writes, then he is irrelevant dust in the wind, so why be reactive? No matter what he says and does, your reactivity is your own.
Just like my need to answer you is mine.
Peace.
As if anyone believed a single word coming out of Obongo's mouth. Lol
Hey grasshopper? Why does it take you 5000 words and endles posts on the ego to communicate your soul-rescue?
God forbid you could could say anything in one single paragraph. But of course not. We need huge amounts of pontification and soul searching advice. I read everything but ignore much of your BS. Not that what you say is untrue but I question your endless need to be validated. i am with you on much of your thought process but cannot follow this need of yours to be validated. Kinda like waiting for the US FED. of JPM. Kinda like who gives a frig? You have a viewpoint, you think you give to others....I say I need to wade through your ego to get any thought.
C'mon Cog. Are you some wannabe financial, self-reinforcing, template?
I can smell skunk odor miles away.
I can smell ego/selfish disguised.
I can smell. There are people who live. And there are people who analyse. So what does Cog D charge for his opinions? Probably nothing but insecurity. And in no uncertain terms. Nothing less than a 10000 word lecture.
Hey Grasshopper?
C'mon Grasshopper.
"I can smell."
You do smell.
I can smell the egotistical stench of envy...because you reek of it you filthy troll.
Now FUCK OFF and don't come back until you have something of worth (or at least amusing/ interesting) to contribute.
You inadequate miscreant.
Hey now?!?
;-)
useless talkings
get lost goat
"That pic is taken just before Putin pushed Obama over."
Putin has placed his hand on Obama's back as a gesture of guidance. This body language is meant to imply that Putin is "in charge." It's a game world leaders have been playing for years. I've seen video of two leaders (don't remember who) almost tussling with each other as each tried to use this gesture to guide the other through a doorway.
Power Body Language
Power is often expressed in communication as a combination of strength and humanity. This is very attractive and is a form of Hurt and Rescue. ...Guide people with a palm in the small of the back.
http://changingminds.org/techniques/body/power_body.htm
From sympathy to "I feel sorry for you" is definitely a smack down.
The velvet hammer was definitely unleashed.
Still...I fail to see where Russia is winning here.
Putin might be winning...
Sometimes it's hard to call the winner until long after the war is over.
The US State Department needs a thorough douching.
. . . and the Capitol needs a thorough enema.
"In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the Communistic, of the bolshevistic; no. but freedom, freedom! That each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallized, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world." Edgar Cayce, 1944
This is off-topic (or is it?)but I just thought I'd share: I tried to sign up for Obamacare last year, but was denied a purchase of health insurance through the exchange because I didn't make enough money.
Then I tried to sign up for Medicaid. I was denied because I am self-employed.
The cockroaches at Obamcare, not satisfied to leave me in a kafkaesque catch-22 limbo, sent me a letter, asking me to reapply for Obamacare.
So I reapplied. Now, I am allowed to buy health care, but- I get no subsidy because my wife lives in another state and we file seperate tax returns.
The cheapest health care plan is a bronze plan for $295/month. That is approx 25% of my income.What do I get for a bronze plan? The right to pay Arches Mutual Health Services 295 fucking dollars a month, and if I ever get sick, to have my house and business taken away from me by dual citizens because I am fucking bankrupt.
So I tried to fill out forms for an exemption (because health care costs are capped at 8% of income, and if the cheapest bronze theft plan is more than that, you don't have to buy insurance).
There are two forms. One form is for states with their own exchange. The other form is for states that use the federal exchange. 14 states are listed on the one form, and 35 states are listed on the other form. That leaves one state in limbo, not represented on either form. Guess which state I live in.
So I call up the shitheads at healthcare.gov. Do they know anything about this? Are you fucking kidding? I was passed around and put on hold until finally, I suggested, "What if I fill out both forms and send them in? Would that help?" The minority female lesbian Obamavoter on the other end of the line grudgingly admitted that this might actually be the best thing to do.
Report from the trenches- #9 out.
Similar experiences here. The problem is we're dealing with the Affordable Care Act. Considering the propensity for government doublespeak what we need is the Skyrocketing Medical Costs Act. Then everything would be OK.
This whole obamacare is a scam, the rates are impossible to afford if one choses a lower deductible. So you are stuck basically still paying for your healthcare out of pocket on top of which you send some assholes who contribute nothing to the economy a big chunk of your monthly paycheck as part of your catastrophic care plan. And like you said if you do have something major go wrong you are still going to be bankrupt. I seriously dont know why people are not in the streets rioting.
I really dont understand where the breaking point is going to be or when it will come. It seriously should of happened a loooong time ago.
Financial Schemes upon Financial Schemes.
Supported by Spin, Lies, Corporate Media owned by the Elites of our Society, and state of the art propaganda... not sure if there is a physical component to propaganda like Fluorine... in which case we should call it mind control (see CIA).
When will it end, when will there be Riots in the USA?
- My guess, when we have fewer products in stores due to credit and financial problems resulting from Slow Down of Consumption
- Unfortunately, Europe & UK seem to be ahead of this and often one person in a family is the bread winner or supporter of all others in the family... and this works and keeps the economy working to some degree... along with all the other people working part time, clerk jobs, cashiers, low skilled labor jobs
- The Favelas in Brazil make a good example of how the Wealthy build bunkers, and live separate from the poor who have to build shacks... but it still works
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a friend who tried to sign up told me a part of the process is to sign a form saying "they" (.gov and its fascist partners) can take your primary residence, your IRA, as well as everything else you own, in lieu of unpaid medical bills. Currently, your house and your IRA cannot be touched.
If true, it seems to indicate a major part of underlying agenda of obamacare. As said here many times, the cunts want to own EVERYTHING.
Agreed, revolution is long overdue.
They already own your ass, they are simply retaining the rights to repossess at any moment.
If it makes you feel better, Kafka wrote the story a long time ago and the Grossly Unaffordable Care Act follows in the tradition. Kafka called it "Vor dem Gesetz" but yours might be called "Before the Exchange." When you finally die, they will just take the website down and unplug the phone.
Cold War? I see Cold Shoulders.
Just as Edgar Cayce prophesied ... that Russia would become the shining light of the world.
Work in progress.
Much of law is still old Soviet. Putin Administration has been cautious to not throw baby with bathwater.
Knows quick solutions bring own set of problems, often worse.
It is careful process that has resulted success in real..

COSMOS, All true of course, but I believe the average American is both too stupid due to a public education and too brainwashed due to the corporate media. Thus most Americans are simply too stupid to absorb the reality of what you say, and instaed cling to the mantra that America must win, our team must win. No matter what our government does in our name, most of us back it fully due to arrogance born of stupidity. Putin has minded Russias business, the only two times re reacted is when NATO clients attacked people's who had requested protection from Russia. Ukraine is acting as NATO puppet attack dog, seeking to kill enough people to force Russia to step across the border. NATO and the USA both support the crimes of Kiev, and not only that, they actively seek for more such crimes to be committed every day.
I fail to see why everyone is so pro russia. I can see Anti US sentiment, as a pack of fucking liars and murderers are in charge here. But when those Russians continually refer to themselves as PARTNERS of these bastards, can they be any fucking different?
Don't feel bad, most are failing to see the catastrophic human failure, coming:
Jack, then, as if stupidity wasn’t enough, as their ‘delusioned’ security starts fading away, get ready for their coming anger.
“In times of stress, the genes assume control and reason disapears.” -- Reg Morrison
Mysticism – Slide 23
By selectively preserving the mystics ancestors evolution not only gave us the weapon that would catapult us from obsolescence to world domination, it also took out a shrewd insurance against our species' overwhelming reproductive success. Only such a deliciously rewarding and tamper-proof device as mysticism could have prevented us from foreseeing the danger of overpopulation a long, long time ago.
And the corrosive mental derangements born of religious and political mystical beliefs will easily derail our global efforts to cooperate and survive our population peak—just as they did on Easter Island more than three centuries ago. By this means, the Gaian processes will ensure that fanatics of all kinds, both religious and political, will feed and inflate humanity's growing fears during the next two stress-filled decades.
This will ensure that distrust and hatred between nations, races, and religious and political groups reaches a crescendo as the environment begins its savage counter-offensive against the current plague of Homo sapiens, the biosphere's primary destabiliser.
Looked at in this light the multitude of bonding mechanisms that bind us into semi-tribal groups both large and small now seems certain to midwife our species' collapse.
Torture and genocide have been the milestones of mysticism throughout history ... the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Holocaust, Ruanda, Pol Pot's Killing Fields, and a million other nameless obscenities. -- Reg Morrison

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." - Lebowski
...then there's CUBA
Mysticism in a new perspective.
- Institutional Mysticism like the Patron' leading the Community in Christian values & as leader of the Christian Church
- Like Pharaohs
- Like King Gods from Mesopotamia
- Like Politicians, the Oldest Profession in the World
- Like Actors on a Stage
- Music, Rock n Roll, Opera, TV Ads, Calvin Klein Ads
This perspective is more likely, as we will have less and less of everything:
“You're just not going to find intelligent life elsewhere, and you probably won't find it (intelligence) here (on earth) for very long either because it's just a lethal mutation” — Ernst Mayr
A mystic is a man who surrendered his mind at its first encounter with the minds of others. Somewhere in the distant reaches of his childhood, when his own understanding of reality clashed with the assertions of others, with their arbitrary orders and contradictory demands, he gave in to so craven a fear of independence that he renounced his rational faculty. At the crossroads of the choice between “I know” and “They say,” he chose the authority of others, he chose to submit rather than to understand, to believe rather than to think. Faith in the supernatural begins as faith in the superiority of others. His surrender took the form of the feeling that he must hide his lack of understanding, that others possess some mysterious knowledge of which he alone is deprived, that reality is whatever they want it to be, through some means forever denied to him.
From then on, afraid to think, he is left at the mercy of unidentified feelings. His feelings become his only guide, his only remnant of personal identity, he clings to them with ferocious possessiveness—and whatever thinking he does is devoted to the struggle of hiding from himself that the nature of his feelings is terror.
When a mystic declares that he feels the existence of a power superior to reason, he feels it all right, but that power is not an omniscient super-spirit of the universe, it is the consciousness of any passer-by to whom he has surrendered his own. A mystic is driven by the urge to impress, to cheat, to flatter, to deceive, to force that omnipotent consciousness of others. “They” are his only key to reality, he feels that he cannot exist save by harnessing their mysterious power and extorting their unaccountable consent. “They” are his only means of perception and, like a blind man who depends on the sight of a dog, he feels he must leash them in order to live. To control the consciousness of others becomes his only passion; power-lust is a weed that grows only in the vacant lots of an abandoned mind
-- Ayn Rand's “For the New Intellectual,”
Ayn Rand Explored Conservative Values and perhaps over developed her ideas into a kind of Cognitive Distortion.
Anyway her area of Expertise looks like Acting, Plays, Novels, and informal philosophy. She was twelve at the time of the February Revolution of 1917, during which she favored Alexander Kerensky over Tsar Nicholas II. So she might be called a Revolutionary or a Communist.
I'm not seeing her as an authoritative figure in mysticism or the Religious Experience.
"I'm not seeing her as an authoritative figure in mysticism or the Religious Experience."
Rand would likely agree with that assessment and see it as an unintended compliment.
Interesting. It is creative for Ayn Rand to say the Gullible man who can not think critically, has no training in how to think, is likely uneducated as we know it,... that this gullible man is a Mystic. But I guess it is fair. The gullible are living a kind of superstitious life after all.
But I get that Indigenous Shamans rely on their senses, drugs, inner dreams, illusions, or hallucinations... "Feelings" rather than using a scientific method or philosophy.
Maybe it was Ayn the Novelist thinking with Poetic License or Creativity. She has two sides, Analytical and Creative.
"She has two sides, Analytical and Creative"
Yes, she did. She was a champion not only of Objectivist philosophy but also of artistic Romanticism. Sometimes those tendencies conflicted but when she was at her best those elements interacted to great effect.
To close my point
Right now we have the ‘Intelligence’ (Elite) in the driver seat with NO one else grasping the horrendous consequences of endless growth. The brightest one is, the less he/she will grasp these consequences.
Then, once the endless growth turns into industrial collapse, and the political (elite) mysticism can NO longer take care of them (society) then, the religion (fascists) mysticism takes over, by the jargons of salvation, patriotism, and easy solutions.
And, as the desperation becomes even more acute, the more distorted their believes will turn.
Yes, that seems to be their Modus Operandi.
Problems that prevent Adapting to our Environment and fixing our Democratic, Economic, and Growth Problems:
- Lack of Transparency
- Culture of Secrecy
- Culture of Consumption, Debt Trap, Money pressures on Households, Careerism, Culture of Borrowing
- Culture of Overseas Wars against people that can't hurt CONUS
- Cognitive Error that you can take an army some place to fight "Terrorists" who have no army, no air force, no navy, no bases, no government, no Facilities, no Headquarters... and can just fade into local population
- Cognitive Error that banking Experts help the Economy, Jobs, Small Businesses, Consumer Choices
- Cognitive Error that Big Business provides Jobs, that monopolies & exponential growth of private executive compensation is good for USA
- No National Referendums in USA
- Culture of Gift Giving, Lobbying, even in Medicine & Justice System
- Private Financing of 501(C)s, PACs, Think Tanks, Drug Testing, public Assets
- Wall Street Dominance of US Banking & Finance & Politics & FED
- Loss of Individual & Civil Rights, State of Justice
Complex Societies!
There aren’t enough productive jobs. There will never be.
So, Complexity (unnecessary jobs and it linkage systems) is another signal of coming collapse.
Uh, a productive job used to be working to feed one's self, to create a dwelling for protection from the elements and to develop those skills that best helped to sustain one's self. Today a job is a means to generate credits to be refunded to those who created them in exchange for allowed continued dependence.
There have always been enough jobs, just not the ones we feel entitled to, not too good for, like those many are ready to delegate to the newly legal "illegals".
Collapse, as many would see it, may simply be a refusal to do what is necessary and instead choose to do what feels best. There have always been those who chose to rob, steal, murder and destroy rather than labor. Ratios change.
Maybe. If I understand you " There have always been those who chose to rob, steal, murder and destroy rather than labor."
There is a difference today in Scales
- Federal Budget Scale
- Corporate Subsidy Scale
- Public & Private Executive Compensation, Bonuses, Yearly Increases, Total Dollars drawn out of Publicly Held Entities or Perks & Compensation drawn where Investors have a right to profit from those dollars
- US Citizens going to Jail
- What we pay Lawyers
- What we pay for Health Care
- What we pay for College or Tech schools
- Campaign Contributions to Washington Politicians
- US Money Gambled in London or on Wall Street by Investment or other Bankers that could engage in Commerce instead
- Total Global Derivatives
- Both US Total Debt & Total Federal Debt
- Total mismanaged Pensions & Retirement Funds
- Total Dollar Losses in Wealth after 2008 Financial Collapse
- Bailout Dollars, QE, ZIRP or LIRP continuous from 2008
- Unemployment Funds Paid out
Nice description of Saint Paul...
Rest in peace dear wrong Ayn .
Cc to Alan Greenspan
Putin is far from perfect but he appears to care for Russia and the Russian people.
American politicians can only think about the multiple ways to sell out American people. They think 24x7 how they can screw us. Same in Western Europe, Can, UK, Aust, NZ.
That's the bottom line. The man is a patriot. As in Founding Fathers-type patriotism, not "go USSA"-type.
Acting in one's self interest is wrong. Acting in the interest of the State is proper, but still wrong when considered against the interest of a world governance. Putin is a pain in the side of a new world government and as such must be stopped.
How we we possibly survive without a new world order that provides a worldwide centralized control to ensure that entitlement payments and corporate dependencies are maintained?
Who will save us....from ourselves?
' I fail to see why . . . .'
NO YOU JUST FAIL
Not necessarily 'pro-Russia' ... but perhaps more like 'pro-truth'.
Vlad is not trying to start a race war, either, unlike a certain girlie man we know.
That's mostly going to be done by the White Trash and the Reconquista. The TWNese may pull off a small conflict in SF/SV and LA with some help from CHNese Investors; but that won't last very long...
I read a lot of people talking about corruption in Brazil, the Brazil will break that Petrobras will do this and that with the stock exchange etc. .
I have to tell you that, as a Brazilian, I LOVE to see corrupt in jail!
I have said here that, if they show me a country where there is corruption, I change the country!
Rousseff left the Federal Police (the equivalent of the FBI) hold great people in accordance of the law.
This is gorgeous!
You Americans should learn from the BRICS to deal with corrupt.
In China they are carried in carts to footbal stadiums, the kids at school are taken to the bleachers, watching shootings or hangings, the thing is beautiful to see, people who steal the people fuck!
In Russia what do you consider children, eight-year-old Kalasnikovs use regularly.
http://englishrussia.com/2014/11/10/young-kids-are-in-the-army-now/
In Russia there is no crazy killing teenagers alike.
Despite the western media speak of recurring rapes in India, with a population of over one million people, are insignificant compared to the rapes occurring in the US (including the military).
The notion of political correctness in the US we are seeing has nothing to do with the law Consuetudinal.
The Law of Morals tradicinalmente accepted.
Honestly, I pity you.
: - /
Karaio,
Thanks for the link. Found it interesting; and I believe those kids will be more prepared than all the one’s that I see in America.
Sorry, but Brazilian corruption and crime are horrendous. I understand that wages in Brazil are very low compared to America thus feeding corruption in Brazil, but, still inexcusable.
Also, Brazilians large cities are not prepared for the coming financial and energy collapse. But, small towns will be in much better shape when that happens.
My point is: We have a human time bomb in our hands. We have, at the most, 5 years to be ready…. if that.
But is the Brazil Crime just limited to the Poor and Tourist that don't know where the Crime is? Is it limited to 6 of the biggest cities and their Favelas?
I can see how the Wealthy would avoid all the crime with their Security Guards, Drivers, Helicopters, and exclusive apartments or homes.
Maybe the middle class gets hit with crime... I'm just not sure.
It’s everywhere. And everyone.
Pretty much all of my friends have been robbed. Some have been shot. Most couldn’t find their cars. I have one friend that owns big trucks and he finds his trucks because he has some kind of tracking device installed.
The biggest problem is that the poor live too close to the rich. And the inequality in Brazil is terrifying.
I have a friend that lives in Laranjeiras, very nice suburb of Rio, and his family hears gunshot every night.
The irony (not for me): It’s a very very very religious nation

Thanks. Kidnapping is big in Asia, probably in Brazil, South & Central America.
I worry about Flash kidnappings for forced ATM withdrawals. But I don't travel most years.
I'll tell you one thing:
Killing insane people is cheaper for the state than keeping the children of a bitch for years in an institution of confinement.
This may sound politically incorrect, but it is the purest Verdae.
Do you realize how much it costs to maintain the state with food, water, 24 hour surveillance system incarcerated 100 per day?
These things cost like a third-class Hotel.
I apologize, but let the people make their own justice and pay less taxes.
hehe.
I like you but, this time, in Brazil, is not about survival, it makes good sense.
Bandit killed is one less to feed for free at the expense of "democracy".
hehe.
Thieves executing other thieves is not something to admire.
Putin also has a 90% popularity rating because he has great things for Russia and average Russians. Scary but Hitler also had great approval ratings (in Germany and abroad) but look what happened to him. And don't beleive the bullshit propaganda and fake history regarding Hitler -his crimes and atrocities paled those of Stalin -or even the drunken zionist stooge Churchill. That's truth -not the bogus history we are taught.
"Paled"... do you mean "paled beside those of..."?
Wrong.
useless talkings
what bullshit propaganda and bogus history? what is that supposed to mean in ral?
most taught history total villify Germany with Amer/Brit total heroe saints and
"Uncle Joe" big friend (until switch agenda)
Give your sources for your beliefs.
well said.
That's putting it rather mildly. These forums seem to be frequented primarily by the bottom layers of American society. And unlike "takeaction", I am not referring to the poorest segments of the United States with this.
So diversity is a wonderful thing as long as everybody is required to think like you do?
Fuck diversity! It does not work.
"Fuck diversity! It does not work."
Seeing as how we live in a world inhabited by seven billion individuals each seeking liberty, prosperity and personal fulfillment in their own unique way you had better hope that diversity works. Besides, all the evidence shows that it's central planning rather than individualism that doesn't work.
Billy
Diversity is a code word for multiculturalism. Countries don't have to be forced to give up their culture, language and genetics in order to get along with someone halfway across the planet. Eirik M Larsen pushes that propaganda every chance he gets on this ZH. I call him the troll of Norway.
It is the homogenization of the races. Well except that one over there in the middle east. They make it illegal...
Diversity is a code word for multiculturalism.
Diversity was a word before it was a code word. Just as "freedom" was Bush's code word for bombing people one shouldn't allow the elitists' misuse of language to stop one from properly using the language. They've redefined other words as well such "free market." Lots of folks think that free markets are bad because the elites use that phrase as a code for the protection of the economic status quo rather than the freedom of all individuals to transact voluntarily in the marketplace.
Diversity, freedom and free markets are all good things. Don't let the elites alter the language fortheir own benefit. Use words as they are supposed to be used and ignore the stigma which iss placed upon certain words in order to deprive you of your own voice and power of reasoning.
Buddy, you have to actually see the bottom layer of American society, you clearly have no clue. You also can't refer to the poorest segments, so that qualification makes no sense, because they can't even read this forum and even if they could they have no brains or capability to read and understand what's being said here.

Foreign Policy.
Now there's a concept to conjour with.
Countries are bullshit to start with - lines on a map drawn in innocent blood by those who think they have the right to contolr others.
Having said that, the only sane foreign policy for any 'country' has to be cooperation for mutual benefit.
'Leaders' 'lead' for their own benefit, not the average Joe.
Capitalism is one of the Prime elements to all men.
All of the Stans, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Etc were all created with borders by Russia and Great Brittan.
Middle East & Africa seem to have borders based on European Conquest.
South America & Central America also.
Some of Asia.
But what do we find if we look at the Basics of Culture?
Trade, Capitalism, Currency, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Ceramics, Lacquer Works, Metallurgy, Music, Ceremony, Weaving, Wood Work, Alcohol, Bitumen, Medicine, Architecture, Writing, Recording Events, Contracts, Markets, Banking, Artisans, Industry, Manufacturing.
Someone Pointed out that Indigenous people never became as greedy or war like as Europeans. I don't know how to evaluate that. Without extreme wealth a greedy person, anal retentive, or covetous person would stand out.
EGO must correlate to Empire, Kingships, Lordships, Capitalism, Ownership, Property... But there is no place to go with this line of Logic. Here we are bordering on a conversation about Communism & Socialism & Charity.
But if political Americans can move to a Community of like minded people... what would be the Vision?
A Commune of goal oriented people who work & make laws that that fit their definition of Freedom, Liberty, Equality, and Justice.
Quite an Idea. A Commune for Libertarians OR for Socialists OR for GOP.
US Attracts Teachers from the East. We even have a whole City that has a University for East Indian Traditions near Fairfield Iowa. They were followers of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Pretty conservative Farming area before they arrived from what I heard... they didn't like the Meditators taking over Town Politics & Laws.
Must be some Communes in California.
How is it that foreigners know how to build a community of their own... and those in the US Chasing Careers are too much in Debt to do the same thing.
Now, we need to think about Co-Operative Communities.

He will go down in history as what he was all along: A perfect Stooge. An untouchable member of the preferred minority class who was able to fairly well get away with anything because race-politics trump Everything, while those much smarter and clever than him, had their way with the U.S. economy, all the while a self-hating, false guilt-ridden white electorate 'raised up' a Black president in an orgy of self-congratulation of their collective triumph over 'racism'...
The 'West' don't need any help in their destruction, they are doing it very wall all by themselves.
I'm not a fan of any form of government, so no fan of Putin, but I think he's just enjoying beer and popcorn.
Russia's got a lot of 'chess moves', Bob.
1. Invasion of and tail-between-legs exit from Afghanistan;
2. Environmental destruction of Siberia; and
3. Orchestrating exodus of Russia's best and brightest to the West since 1991.
Obvious you know nothing about Afghan conflict
"Afgantsy" Rodric Braitewaite"
Afghan was Soviet, not Russian Federation
There was moderate government, that was violently overthrown.
Soviets had been there. built infrastructure, schools. Women had rights and could attend school.
Later, many of their radical Fathers killed own daughters for wanting education.
US is far more hated than Russians there.
enabled what morphed into world terrorisms
a lot of mayhem and death
There was pro Soviet Afghans, respectable Muslims...not the for hire ones now apparent in ME
example: Afghan Freedom Fighter in Donbass

Simple slip of the tongue...what Obola really meant was that the American people are his enemies.
IF the West/US had competent leadership in Federal politics and Banking, they'd just hit the Reset button now and roll out the SDR as the Reserve Currency of the G7 (US, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Canada - ranked in descending GDP).
Notwithstanding their fiat Debt (both Domestic and to each other), they COULD finish their Synchronized Diving with a Full Reset: "Make the rest of the G20 accept their SDR, or eat dirt". China and Russia alone can NOT counter the SDR, but the rest of the G20 might. A quick release of the BRIICS_CNY or BRIICS_SDR (in 2015) could win the race, but the Yanks and their Banksters are not slow nor dumb enough to let that happen.
I therefore solemnly predict: It will be a foot-race to the Finish Line, as to who can front-run whom (the G7 or the BRIICS) with a new Pan-National Currency. Who's gonna finish first: The "G7_SDR" or the "BRIIC CNY"? Looking at GDP data and brinksmanship, I'm betting on the "G7_SDR": Facts are facts, and math is math.
Appendix: GDP Data of G7, the EU and the BRIICS...
Per UN data, the World GDP is $72.7T, the combined GDP of the G7 is $34.4T, and the combined GDP of the BRIICS is $15.4T. The US and the EU each exceed the GDP of the BRIICS ($16.2T and $17.5T respectively), and the combined GDP of the EU, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand is a whopping $43.2T, or 59% of the World GDP.
Based on these numbers, the BRIICS may choose to not use the SDR or even the USD for their trades, but they have NO chance of promoting their currency to the level of THE Global Reserve Currency. The SDR does have that opportunity, by playing the Procedure Game: First impose the SDR on the EU, North America, Australia and New Zealand, and then force their trading partners to use the SDR. At best we could see the USD, EUR and the CNY co-existing as the world's three major currencies, but I doubt that it would be a peaceful co-existence.
SDR another form of Fiat Currency, havn't we had enough of this sh*t already.
That would just make it easier to devalue our purchasing power.
Gold = money of Kings
Silver = money of Gentlemen
Barter = money of peasants
Debt = money of Slaves
Which one are you?
So what can replace Fiat? Most people don't have Gold in the US and many think our governments don't have gold either.
Move to Gold would make everyone poor. They would have to use Silver also for sure... and maybe something else.
I guess Debt Free Money that Bill Still talks about is a better answer for US Money.
When it goes.....
history says money will be script, new coinage, silver.
Yes, quite.
He should have said "parasites, voting machines, and illegals."
Happy now?
I was a Marine...'69-'72.
Kerry was a punk 40 years ago.
Kerry is a punk today.
He starred in Mr. Ed.
That's something.
Kerry was a palomino in his early days?
Who knew?
He was made Secretary of State because he's always on a steady course, and he'll give you an answer that you'll endorse.
And now he's Secretariat of State.
That's funny dude, good catch!
Secretariat of State had better keep an eye on Man o' War coming up fast on the outside.
and those myths about shoving a carrot up his ass to make him move his lips? True. Kerry still likes that but being the 21st century he now uses a custom molded battery powered butt plug.
I was a draft dodger...'67-74.
Westmoreland was a fool 40 years ago.
Westmoreland is braiding daisey roots today.
Was??
Hopefully LBJ, McNamara and McCain's old man (who sold out the USS Liberty) are burning in hell.
Assclowns running this country. Complete fucking assclowns
I walked up to a friend of mine the other day and challenged him on why he was going around telling everybody that I was a fucking asshole loser. He said "eh.....just fagadaboudit!"
I punched him anyway.
Then I fucked his mom.
Is obama's mom still alive?
You did all this from mom's basement?
No....your mom's kitchen table.
takeaction- the poor,gays,illegals did not choose Obama as a leader. Presidents dont get voted in, they are chosen by just a few men. In a divided and conqured country we are only let to believe that we vote them in. c'mon.
nice one, I was about to write about a man crush on Putin, but thought (would it b ok?), it is fuckin OKEY.
No kidding she's a manthing.
That's what Joan Rivers says -got her killed too. When you hobnob and benefit from the elites -you keep their secrets -or suffer the consequences.
My first sighting of a Joan Rivers Truther. A new species?
A Truther is more credible than a Liar.
Interesting factoid, that others of an age might better understand, which I recently discovered while looking into the family background of our illustrious SecState, John Forbes Dudley Withrop Kerry:
He's actually a counsin, once or twice removed, to Michael Paine, that dood who was once married to Ms. Paine, the both of them lent out space to Lee Harvey Oswald who was supposed to have been some type of lone gunman, according to the Rockefeller family's lackeys, Allen Dulles and McCloy.
That Paine guy, who somehow miraculously got a top level security clearance, even though his daddy once headed the American Trotskyite Movement, was related on his mom's side to the Dudleys, Cabots and Forbes people.
SMALL WORLD, HUH????
And here I thought all this time that John Kerry had gone easy on President George H.W. Bush when that BCCI investigation got closer to the White House --- 'cause Bushie was a fellow Skull & Bones brother!
Might be a lot more than that going on .........

Putin isn't kicking anyone's ass if they are working together. In that case it is Obama beating on Europe and other supposed allies. The choreography of mistake, countermove is like watching a skilled dance couple.
If. In the picture one guy looks smug, the other spiteful, and the third curiously happy. Who's getting their throat slit because those three do not appear to all be equal much less amigos.
I wouldn't be surprised if both narratives were right.
Vlad is kicking his own ass right now (one ruble devaluation at a time). However, he requests that you, his loyal Zero Hedge subjects and citizenship applicants,
KINDLY BUY MORE OIL.
"the poor, gays, and illegals did."
Take action +1000
You can trust Peter to do the right thing when he is constantly stealing from Paul to make you happy.
Oh dear.....
Carrot boogers. Yuk!
I get it! I get the joke!
So is that a Butt Head, or an Ass Face?

Now I have to clean off my screen! Even got the flag on the lapel upside down. Damn he's good.

Talk about smelling your own farts!
Cup of Cheese!

Is that Bevis on his finger?
It's the American voter. No, it's a finger puppet of the Gruberites who still think their vote counts.
More Ketchup!? or is it Catsup?
I thuoght the shit came out of his mouth.
So that's what a ass clown looks like. Great job as usual WB7.
That escalated quickly.
WB7, any plans on posting the Abbot, Cameron, and Harper G20 3some here?
With POTUS-in-MomJeans, they can pull off a Fashion Calendar together...
Thanks,
Banzai
make another
you should have used horse behind
It's so easy to burn american foreign policy. Sometimes I think US objectives are just unclear, but mostly it appears that they just suck at it.
Unclear becomes nuclear with the greatest of ease.
