[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 11 2016]The Democratic National Convention date is July 25. I wonder what would transpire if the second leg down of the global financial crisis hit before then.
China crash, Brexit, Greek default, global realization of retirement cookie jar filled with bad IOUs from the unemployed kids…
Lots of triggers.When you read this sentence “The U.S. would have reacted the same way. In fact, it did in 1961, when the Soviets installed defensive missiles in Cuba.” in the NATO article, you immediately know that everything else is a lie. The missiles in Cuba were not defensive, they were not designed to defend Cuba. They were nuclear and designed to offer first strike capability for Russia. NATO is needed because Russia has consistently refused to join the world community and instead has been a belligerent, criminal government. With Gorbachev they started to go in the right direction but Putin has reversed that in spades. They are kings of propaganda so never believe anything said by Russia or their flunkies.

Spoken like a genuine U.S. sycophant zombie. You drank deeply the offered U.S. kool-aide.
President Putin has bent over backwards to work with the U.S. on Syria and been flatly refused and insulted by Obama, Clinton, and the present administration; and that is a fact by all objective measures.Babble – “…Russia has consistently refused to join the world community and instead has been a belligerent, criminal government.” They are not conforming to U.S. and NATO commands, but why should they?
“Is Russia really a military threat to the United States and its neighbors? Is it seriously trying to “revenge” itself for the 1989 collapse of the Soviet Union? Is it actively trying to rebuild the old Soviet empire? […]
In 1990, U.S. Secretary of State James Baker and German Chancellor Helmet Kohl pledged to then Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move eastward, nor recruit former members of the East bloc military alliance, the Warsaw Pact. By 1995 NATO had enlisted Pact members Romania, Hungry, Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and signed on Montenegro this year. Georgia is currently being considered, and there is a push to bring Ukraine aboard. From Moscow’s perspective NATO is not only moving east, but encircling Russia. […]
Vladimir Putin might not be a nice guy, but the evidence he is trying to re-establish some Russian empire, and is a threat to his neighbors or the U.S., is thin to non-existent. […]
Expansionist? Russia has two bases in the Middle East and a handful in Central Asia. The U.S. has 662 bases around the world and Special Forces (SOF) deployed in between 70 and 90 countries at any moment. Last year SOFs were active in 147 countries. The U.S. is actively engaged in five wars and is considering a sixth in Libya. Russian military spending will fall next year, and the U.S. will out-spend Moscow by a factor of 10. Who in this comparison looks threatening?”
