Russia; are U.S. Sanctions working?
To even the casual observe it should be clear that the Russian economy runs on gas and oil. The U.S., on the other hand, is the world’s largest producer of cutting-edge energy tech. Here you have the makings of two conflicting paradigms each in stark contrast with one another and yet both have their eyes set on anchoring the geology of the Black Sea perimeter.
Russia, although more immediate to the area and initially appearing to hold the advantage, has the greater risk whereas the U.S./West is far more economically diverse and has greater staying power. Still we mustn’t forget that Russia is quite capable (as we see with their provocative willingness in Syria, Iraq and Iran) of blending forces with China to contest U.S./Western actions in a most effective and asymmetrical way.
ISIS – To Error is Human, To Destroy Takes a Desperate Narcissist!
My how the Plutocrats love to create labels. It’s an awfully efficient way to create an enemy and redirect the public toward the rigors of an impulse driven response; just put a label on it and you’re done! ISIS, huh? The Islamic State of Iraq & Syria which nicely fits right in with the generic and disenfranchises Islamists, Al Qaeda, the Haqqani, the Taliban, Hamas, Abu Nidal and so on and each convenient covers for the main story that no one wants to cover and fewer care to track.
Back-Fill & Flooding – The Syrian Effect
Sanctions are nothing more than a teaser; buying time while other opportunities develop. The E.U. is economically unstable; the only basket of capacity being Germany, it too has energy concerns and a public that is strongly pitched against tangling with Russia.
Solution for the Western Financiers? Simple; find a cheap and readily available energy source to replace Russian LNG & Crude. Where? Even easier! Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are flush with it and the pipeline from the E.U. lies in wait (in Turkey). Who/what stands in the way? Syria; allied with Russia.
Is Currency Driving Russian Conflict
Corporatizing the globe; a new phenomenon? Clearly not, but in an era of the key-stroke push-of-the-button phalanx, much happens far more quickly than ever before; including mistakes with incalculable consequences.
The U.S. Economy, what there is of it, survives solely on its ability to maintain the dollar’s reserve currency status; well known is the FEDs practice of selling-off gold-positions in an effort to support the dollar. The problem is the U.S. is running out of (if not already) gold.
NATO: The Proxy Warrior
At the time of Germany’s re-unification and the collapse of the USSR President Bush had committed to Gorbachev that the U.S. would not press forward with NATO enlisting membership of former Soviet or Allegiant States; this commitment lasted up until Bill Clinton’s first term. Presently 8 of these former States are now NATO Member States with 6 more under pending membership status. This entire fiasco is a U.S. Department of State planned and activated strategy.
The U.S. Government has elected to endorse corporate globalism vs. building and enhancing its domestic agenda. It has financed the entire process by blundering the Nation and flooding the globe with worthless currency backed by its control of global finance. The trends indicate that the EU can neither economically afford or survive its public’s opposition to confrontation as much of Europe favors strong relationships with Russia. In addition, Putin polls far more favorably than the U.S. while President Obama is viewed as “terminally incompetent.”
The best option for the American people lies in Russia (Putin) selecting several options available to bypass Washington all together. If Russia places troops within the Ukraine boarders (which is exactly what the U.S./NATO is hoping for) then Ukraine will draw Russia into an Afghanistan-like civil war and Russia will implode and acts of desperation will ensue. If the EU draws back and refuses to engage under the guise of NATO then NATO as well as the EU collapse and what’s left of the U.S. economy goes right along with it. Then, there’s China…which is to say, the U.S. concept of corporate governance has the horizon painted in colors of pure agony.
