Russia: How long until the economy cracks

[Toddsterpatriot]

The failure to reset hurt Russia not the US

Don't forget Ukraine. And any other country Putin decides to invade.

We can either let Russia have eastern Ukraine or we can fight WW III. I say the first the lesser of two evils.

Or we can give Ukraine military assistance and crush Putin's economy in the meantime.

Are you looking at the big picture here? Russia, China, Iran, and Syria are all in alliance. Putin was in Egypt yesterday working on energy, trade, and arms deals. Putin says he will help Iran deal with Saudi Arabia if Kiev is supplied with arms. Yemen just went into further meltdown. One can add in to the mix; Iraq, Hezbollah, ISIS, Israel, South China Sea, Libya, and on and on. Anything break down and it is going to be like someone throwing a handful of hundreds on a casino floor. (It pretty much already has but we can fool ourselves for a little longer before the legality of showing military caskets gets a thread on the message board. All this so the 1%'ers can what us march to their tune.)

Big picture, we have to resist Russian adventurism.

Every noun, pronoun, and adjective in that sense the product of carefully crafted propaganda. Except maybe 'big', if it had said 'bigger and better' then it would have been propaganda. And we don't 'have' to do a damn thing.

Do you get your stuff from RT, or do you give it to them?

RT, PressTV, al-Manar, Al-Jazeera, and many others. I do not use Fox or Yahoo however. I do have my standards you know.

When it comes to nutritional assistance for nursing mothers there are no pennies in the pocket. When comes to supporting terrorists we have billions. I love my country and she is getting fucked by the deceiver and the deceived. We don't have capitalism. We have corruption. The amazing things this country could do, could have done, if it were not for the few who did not have enough when they had everything.

We spend $14.7 billion a year on the CIA and we are just now figuring out ISIS is getting out of control? First of all that is complete BS. Second of all when does it all end? It ends when people quit calling themselves Patriots because they blindly follow what the banks and weapon manufactures tell them is the truth.

The failure to reset hurt Russia not the US

Conservative hero Putin blundered away his chance to establish improved economic alliances with the west over an il-advised invasion

Reset?

Obamas economy is doing fine, Putins is in a shambles

Let Russia have the Ukraine and a Soviet style economy

This is about extremely rich people and their cup of oil. They want to fight, go for it, leave America alone.

Russia invaded Ukraine for oil?

Oops, missed this one. So why do you think Russia invaded Ukraine? Please enlightening me with the wisdom of Fox News.

I'm just waiting for the climax of the false flag series. They are running in reverse order from last time. Oh yeah, there is no such thing as a false flag event, now is there?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

How would the EU respond if Putin cut off their oil in response to sanctions?

Who will Russia sell to, if not the EU?
I guess Putin could eat the oil? He kinda needs the dough.

He cut a deal with the chicoms

Great. And the EU will buy from whoever China stops buying from.
Not like there is currently a shortage of oil.

Nursing mothers don't have enough to eat?
With record numbers on food stamps?
Maybe we should evict 12 million illegals, and use the savings for your nursing mothers?

Yes, yes, of course. Fox News accounting. (That education underfunded is quite evident.)

I wanted to add something to this since you brought it up. Just a couple comments about some of the major U.S. new outlets. ABC and CBS are giving out the state approved propaganda with gleeful smiles. NBC was the only one of the three standards who seemed to be thinking for themselves a little. The Brian Williams' scandal breaking when it did seems a bit suspect. (Ned Colt died from a stroke at 58 I just noticed.) CNN is doing their job of reporting pretty well. I only use online news. I turned on CNN on the cable and immediately turned it off. 'Don't believe the hype.' Fox News is Fox News of course. There is an interesting note about Fox recently. Without going back and looking this up some Saudi prince had 6% of Fox's parent but sold it to 1% a couple months ago. The prince was going to start his own news agency in Bahrain but it closed hours after it opens. The whole thing looked really strange. As far as all the other major news agencies unless something really looks useful I don't click on any of them. If are using Fox and backing that up with ABC and CBS and calling NBC bias you don't know jack about what is going on.

That could have been the very worse example of "I'm not bad because he's worse" that I have ever seen. I really mean that. That was truly awful.

Whataboutism is a nickname for the tactic used by the Soviet Union in its dealings with the Western world during the Cold War. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[1][2] It represents a case of tu quoque or the appeal to hypocrisy, a logical fallacy which attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.
In 2008, The Economist claimed that this tactic is observed in the politics of modern Russia, along with this being evidence of a resurgence of Cold War and Soviet-era mentality within Russia's leadership.[1]

I agree, bringing up US news outlets was a poor tactic.

THE pens were on the table in Minsk, Belarus's capital, for the leaders of France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine to sign an agreement to end a year-long war fuelled by Russia and fought by its proxies. But on February 12th, after all-night talks, they were put away. “No good news,” said Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine’s embattled president. Instead there will be a ceasefire from February 15th. A tentative agreement has been reached to withdraw heavy weaponry.​

In case you did not click on the link let me explain. Go to the main page of The Economist website, click on the main story, and read the first paragraph (see above).

This is the another top story on the front page. It is about Greece. Any association this image might have with the peace talks is purely accidental.

Cover of this week's issue, shown on right side of page.

I just love it when I can read a good, honest publication like The Economist and make an informed decision.

 

[RandomVariable]

Also in clear view when the main page loads is the third item of importance. Fortunately it has nothing to do with politics, war, or the economy. It is a nice, uplifting article about science, "Galactic Discoveries, Dark Partner". (Any association with Darth Vader is purely accidental.)
