Russia and US spar over global crises at UN meeting

[konying]

The CCP Boyz in Beijing have moved substantially and significantly away from Putin and his megalomaniac grand designs, which now means Putin and Russia are completely isolated.

Indeed, China continues to prioritize developing good and mutual working relations with the United States, Germany and the EU whereas Putin goes out of this way to stomp his feet cuss and spit.

Russia has no support from anyone at all unless we want to include Kim Jong Un.

I guess those hundreds of billions of USD bilateral trade agreements, oil pipelines and rail link between Beijing and Moscow are all just a figment of Russian / Chinese imagination... Along with the rest of the 180 country strong BRICS alliance... Keep up the rhetoric, it's usually good for a laugh...

What you should be mentioning is Russia's ratification of the BRICS Development Bank, which has initial capitalization of $100 billion USD, the internal implementation of Russia's replacement for SWIFT and the Chinese purchasing record amounts of gold since the beginning of 2015... Oh wait, that doesn't fit your propaganda model, so it must be a lie, right?

China Purchases More Gold Than the World Produces

What have the CCP Boyz in Beijing done for Russia and Putin throughout 2014? Sign deals Putin suddenly had to have to try to double back from becoming isolated from Europe and Nato, that's what. Signed deals at Chinese prices.

The Brics Development Bank will not come online until 2020 at the soonest and it remains grossly under capitalized with less money than the money changer down the street. The Brics countries are in recession, deflation, under sanctions or divided from themselves as India is apart from China due to its competing interests in the Indo-Pacific Strategic Region.

What have the Brics done for Russia...beans, that's what. Where are the Brics leaders in Moscow to stand by their man Putin. Brics countries have their own problems at home and want nothing to do with the globally isolated Putin and his coterie of oligarchs running Russia.

The posts here are always and every time "wait until Putin" does something that never happens, e.g., cuts off natural gas and oil to Europe which hasn't happened. The posts are "Putin is going to" yet something else like break the USD by showing all his gold, or yet again "Putin will" something else not ever done.....threats, threats, threats that have long since become more than laughable.

Putin's SWIFT system for Russia is masturbation. Putin needs access to a global system and the SWIFT system based in Belgium does $6 Trillion of financial actions each day. Once Nato cuts Russia off from SWIFT it will have to use Chinese banks which will over burden the PRChinese banking system that is already flapping its arms to try to keep its head above water.

Putin's gold, Putin's SWIFT, Putin's cutoff of energy to Europe and all other threats threats and threats give way to the reality of Putin's cancellation of the Southern Stream Pipeline because the EU shut him down, Putin's demolished rubble ruble, Medvedev warning Russia will withdraw its ambassador from Washington and vice-versa, Putin waving the flag and singing while he disappears into the rathole in the KGB of the former Soviet Union that made him the little squeaker that he is.

Guys who box over their weight can hang on for only so long before comes the barrage of blows to the body and the final big punch to the glass jaw.

The only thing that you got right is your last sentence.Guys who box over their weight can hang on for only so long before comes the barrage of blows to the body and the final big punch to the glass jaw.

US is way over its head, financially, politically and military wise in all aspects.

Every empire fell apart,even one as great as Roman. There is a good saying "history always repeats itself",

Today, in Washington, DC, precisely the same anxieties are being aired – and the example of Rome is often explicitly cited. In 2007, the then comptroller general of the US, David Walker, gave a bleak assessment of the nation’s prospects. America, he claimed, was afflicted by precisely the problems that he saw as responsible for the collapse of Rome: “declining moral values and political civility at home, an overconfident and overextended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government”

Of course do not let that stop you from being patriotic, as it provides a great laugh

PS. under current US administration, Obama managed to ruin all relations, including with "best friends"

I love visiting US, would be sad to see it fall apart due to enlarged ego and pure arrogance.

My post discusses realities while the reply post is fantasy, fiction, flailing.

The 'history always repeats' itself is a cliche'. It is trite, glib, revealing of its users, which is to say banal.

The threads about Russia are full of threats, threats, threats, every threat and all of 'em are empty, empty, empty.

I wanna hear more of what Putin is going to do with gold, what Putin is going to do with energy supplies to Europe,...more of what Putin's going to do to destroy the USD and the United States....more of how Russia and China will destroy the United States to dominate the world.....

Interesting article and very familiar with the concept having handled security litigation for many years now.

At first glance, President Vladimir Putin's Russia may seem like a traditional rogue dictatorship whose actions are impossible to predict. In reality, it's a crony capitalist state with relatively open markets. That means you can always know what's going to happen slightly in advance by following the financial dealings of insiders.

Two Ph.D. students at Cornell, Felipe Silva and Ekaterina Volkova, recently confirmed that after analyzing Russian stock trades ahead of Russia's annexation of Crimea. In a yet unpublished paper, they show that insiders began selling stocks while outside observers, even sophisticated ones, were still struggling to accept the possibility of an armed Russian attack on Ukraine.

Silva and Volkova's research is based on the concept of probability of informed trading, originally developed in the mid-1990s by David Easley and Maureen O'Hara, also of Cornell. . . .

. . .

On Feb. 26, four days after Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled Kiev to escape a revolution against his corrupt rule and two days after Ukrainian authorities attempted to apprehend him in Crimea, Putin put troops in western Russia on high alert. At 6 a.m. on Feb. 27, men in unmarked uniforms quietly took control of the local parliament and government buildings in Simferopol, Crimea. No one in Simferopol, including the local government, immediately made the connection: Putin's war methods weren't yet widely understood.

The mysterious "green men" would only say they were "with the people." . . .

. . .

In retrospect, there were clues if you knew where to look -- and had the right access. For weeks prior to the assault on Crimea, conservative Moscow think tanks had been laying groundwork, peppering the Kremlin with reports calling for intervention in Ukraine if Yanukovych was overthrown. One such "analytical paper" from February 2014, was published yesterday in the anti-Putin weekly Novaya Gazeta

That's awsome.

So US did not have anything to do with illegal government over throw in Ukraine ?

US does not meddle in Syria, Iraq or lybia?

U.S. did not bomb Pakistan ?

Did not invade Iraq?

To protect the English speaking people there.....

overthrow...meddle...bomb...invade...

...entirely awesome!

Shock and awe

Same as your Mr. Putin
