I can't believe a thread hasn't been started about this yet.
If it has then I missed it.
Questions, comments, discussion?

We need wambr or some such to shine a light. Mpesci shined some.. but in not in few days.

JOG would be proud. So us currency wackos.. have been talking about the shaky ground the US dollar is on, it seems to come across as anti-obama... maybe sometimes it is..but really He isnt doing anything that wasnt started long before him. But I digress...

So I found an article ( Washington Post I think) saying that someone ( not Putin directly) in the USSR responded to the USA threat of sanctions. Their response... do it and the US dollar will utterly crumble. They are prepared to leave the dollar as a world currency, not enforce us loans to USSR entities and if Europe gets uppity.. cut off the gas pipelines to there (which BTW transit Ukraine).

This is something the conspiracy nuts have been saying for a long while. Why did Bush go after Iraq? WMD?? no, they threatend to trade oil for gold (or not USD), Libia.. same thing... Syria.. same thing...
US can go in and romp those pesky third world countries... Russia???? not so much!!!!  

This will be interesting... US cannot bully Russia, nor China for that matter. And those two are very large holders of US treasury notes. Let's not even think of what a real war would mean.

Interesting read on yahoo news....

Just go back to using rubles and don't pay us back our loans..... and that would throw us in the dark ages?
One country?.... hmm are we really in that deep?

Dragon X is fixin' that problem, gonna be an auto contolled capsule for passengers.

China IS packing them up & shipping them back, slowly, so as to not ruin the value. Theyve decreased their purchases & started buying things here.
As for Russia "Invading", all they did was go in & secure bases already there. Of course, such action will be reported as horrible aggression,
Once again, destabilizations are not usually "organic" in nature. That whole Arab Spring thing was supported by someone.. Al CIAduhh has their flag over Libya,, how did that happen? Anyone who believes we are some Worlds Boy Scout is failing to actually LOOK at what we really do.,
Our military is the thug arm of the global elite, just like Mafia Muscle., We have been taken over. OUr foreign policy doesnt reflect the needs of America, it represents the needs of the global elite,

Some similarities between Hitler's pre-WW2 activity in Europe and Putin' recent activity in the Ukraine ... Putin is ex-KGB and still a "Soviet" at heart ... I fear if we ignore and/or appease him, we just might regret it in the way that Chamberlain and Stalin regretted appeasing Hitler ...

Noop,.. that ain't all... troops have gone beyond the base...

We're no better,... we'd have done the same...
That don't make it right... it's just a thin ice we stand on when we condemn it...
Russia needs that port access... it's a fairly landlocked country (at least the westward side)... We should stay out of it... Ukraine would be smart to negotiate some sort of lease agreement... (they won't win, and we won't either)...

Not sayin' we couldn't, but we won't... a cornered dog is gonna' bite...
That water access is too valuable to Putin...
Russia's Suez/Panama Canal...

We rent ours...  ...
