Forget Ukraine. Is Putin Getting Ready For An All Out Nuclear Strike On The US Economy? (PART I)

If you study Putin’s past performance in great detail you will walk away with a sense that his strategic thinking ability, execution and drive are unmatched.  After all, he was able to rebuild Russia after the Soviet Union collapse, he was able to remain in power for over 15 years, he was able to assume a complete control of his country and according to some he was able to stash away close to $100 Billion…….potentially making him the richest man in the world. The bottom line is, no one should underestimate him as an adversary.

One of the reasons the US and the Obama Administration is so hell bent on Ukraine (in addition to NATO expansion) is due to Putin playing Obama on both Syria and Iran like a cheap flute. Understandably, the Obama Administration/Military Industrial Complex are furious and want revenge. Anyone with half a brain and patriotism blinders off understands this.

At this juncture Putin is beyond fed up with the US. His televised speech on March 18th is a clear indication of that. There is no doubt that he will not let Ukraine fall into western hands nor NATO, yet his long-term strategy might take a different path from an outright all out invasion of Ukraine the West anticipates. He is likely to take over Ukraine from within (as he has done before) and after the US and the IMF pump hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine’s economy.

Meanwhile, according to some reports Putin is getting ready to strike back at the US Economy in a massive fashion and where it would hurt us the most. Fact of Fiction? We will cover that in Part II tomorrow.

The Obama Administration Is Making Friends In All The Right Places. Big War Is Coming.

Before you assume that I have some sort of a grudge against the Obama Administration, I was not a big fan of the Bush Administration either. And while the Bush Administration was smart enough to limit itself to blowing up 1977 Toyota Pickup trucks full of Taliban fighters, the Obama Administration is hell bent on starting World War 3 with Russia and China.

While that war is still 15 years away, the moves the Obama Administration is making today (as I write this) will lead directly to what was outlined in this report Nuclear World War 3 Is Coming Soon.When, How & Why  Please note how accurately the fundamental analysis presented in that report is lining up with what is happening in the real world.

In the meantime, I present to you the brilliance of Obama’s foreign policy.

Meanwhile in the US, another day….another mass shooting. Police: 6 injured in shootings at Ga. FedEx hub……I give up.

Will Russia View US Sanctions As A Declaration Of War?

As the Obama Administration readies to release it’s next round of Sanctions against Russia (see the list below), targeting Putin’s inner circle, Russia might just respond in kind by finally invading Ukraine. Why it is still unclear what it is exactly the Obama Administration is trying to accomplish in Ukraine, a nation 6,000 miles away from an American shore, it has been wildly successful in restarting the Cold War with Russia in a matter of 2 months. The progress the US and Russia have made together over the last 25 years to stabilize the world are out of the window. Great job Obama.

As I have mentioned before, the US has no business meddling in Ukraine or trying to push NATO up to Russia’s border. That destabilizes the entire region and that will eventually lead to some sort of a war. NATO’s presence in Ukraine would be equivalent to the Chinese or the Russians building a massive military base in Tijuana. Russia will not let that happen and it will go to war to prevent it, sanctions or not. Let’s now wait and see how Mr.Putin responds to Obama’s sanctions.  One thing is for sure, the US financial markets do not have Ukraine invasion priced in.

Bloomberg Writes: U.S. Plans to Hit Putin’s Inner Circle With New Sanctions

The U.S. and European Union will impose new sanctions as early as today on Russian companies and individuals close to President Vladimir Putin over the escalating crisis in Ukraine, officials said.

“We will be looking to designate people who are in his inner circle, who have a significant impact on the Russian economy,” Deputy White House National Security Adviser Tony Blinken said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program yesterday. “We’ll be looking to designate companies that they and other inner-circle people control. We’ll be looking at taking steps as well with regard to high-technology exports to their defense industry. All of this together is going to have an impact.”

The seizure of international inspectors by pro-Russian separatists last week escalated the crisis after Russia began military exercises on Ukraine’s border where the North Atlantic Treaty Organization says Putin has massed about 40,000 troops. Ukraine’s southern air-defense forces are in “operational readiness,” the Defense Ministry said yesterday on its website.

Among those who may be hit by sanctions is Igor Sechin, the chief executive officer of OAO Rosneft (ROSN), according to people familiar with developments. Sechin is a Putin confidant.

EU Discussions

Representatives of the 28 EU states will meet today to widen a list of people subject to asset freezes and travel bans, an official from the bloc said over the weekend. The sanctions will target 15 Russians in positions of power, another diplomat said. Both asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.

“What we will hear about in the coming days is an expansion of existing sanctions, measures against individuals or entities in Russia,” U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague told Sky News television yesterday. “Already we have seen more than $60 billion of capital flight out of Russia so far this year, and serious falls in the Russian stock market. So no one should underestimate the impact on Russia and Russia’s own interests of continued escalation of this crisis.”

Russia has stoked tensions in Ukraine with “threatening” military maneuvers and by “taking no concrete steps” to implement an April 17 accord meant to calm the crisis, the Group of Seven nations — the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan — said in an April 25 statement.

Military Drills

Early this morning, a group of 30 gunmen seized a state security building in the city of Konstantinovka, the press secretary of the Donetsk regional police said by phone.

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andriy Deshchytsia, said he would travel to Vienna to discuss with international officials Ukraine’s contention that Russia was not complying with the Geneva agreement and that Putin’s administration was not allowing monitors to observe its military drills.

“We are going to discuss today in Vienna the implementation of the Vienna document that allow international observers to monitor military drills that now have started near Ukraine’s borders,” Deshchytsia told Bloomberg television today. “Russia does not want to comply with it.”

In the wake of those capital outflows and a credit-rating downgrade by Standard & Poor’s, Russia’s central bank unexpectedly raised its key interest rate to 7.5 percent on April 25.

Markets Sag

Russia’s Micex Index fell 1.38 percent to 1,262.46 by 11:39 a.m. bringing its loss this year to 16 percent. The ruble has lost almost 9 percent this year against the dollar, the second-worst performance among 24 emerging currencies tracked by Bloomberg after Argentina’s peso.

Sanctions previously imposed by the U.S., the EU, Canada and other allies targeted a number of Putin’s associates and top officials, as well as St. Petersburg-based OAO Bank Rossiya.

Executives at OAO Gazprombank, Russia’s third-largest lender, are preparing for possible sanctions, two people with knowledge of the deliberations said last week, while development lender Vnesheconombank is taking precautions, according to a person familiar with talks at the lender.

U.S. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, called on President Barack Obama to impose sanctions on four of Russia’s largest banks and OAO Gazprom (OGZD), the country’s gas-export monopoly.

Largest Banks

“Hitting four of the largest banks there would send shock waves through the economy,” Corker said on CBS yesterday. “I just think we need to hit him much more toughly,” he said of Putin.

Some U.S. officials warn that broader sanctions, those that affect ordinary Russians and not just the oligarchs in Putin’s inner circle, may backfire to the Russian leader’s benefit. Ordinary Russians would probably rally behind Putin and allow him to blame the U.S. and its allies for the country’s economic woes.

Three officials, all of whom requested anonymity to discuss internal policy deliberations, said financial and other sanctions are unlikely to deter Putin. His goals are to destabilize Ukraine; ensure Russian domination of portions of it, as well as the Transnistria region of Moldova; and make the government in Kiev subservient to his.

China’s government said it did not support sanctions.

“We believe that sanction will not help solve the problem but, on the contrary, escalate the situation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said. “Sanctions will not serve the interests of any party.”

Coordinated Measures

The planned EU moves are not set to include broader trade, financial and economic measures against Russia, known as “stage three” sanctions. Hague said work on those is continuing.

“It’s going to be more effective if everybody signs on and everybody’s committed,” Obama told a news conference yesterday in Putrajaya, Malaysia. “We’re going to be in a stronger position to deter Mr. Putin when he sees that the world is unified and the United States and Europe is unified, rather than this is just a U.S.-Russia conflict.”

In addition to sanctions, some U.S. Republican lawmakers, led by Arizona Senator John McCain, are pushing the Obama administration to send anti-tank, anti-missile and other weapons to Ukraine’s military. Blinken, the White House adviser, dismissed that suggestion, saying the administration focus is on economic assistance.

Weapons “wouldn’t make a difference in terms of their ability to stand up to the Russians,” Blinken said on CNN. The U.S. will focus on “professionalizing” Ukraine’s military, while stopping short of providing lethal aid, he said.

Meanwhile, pro-Russian separatists freed one international observer from a group of 11 taken captive three days ago in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk. Negotiators for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe left the city following the release of the observer, a Swedish officer who is diabetic, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported.

Russian Powder Keg Is About To Blow Sky High. US Stock Market About To Collapse?

I continue to maintain that the situation in Ukraine is a ticking time bomb. With American troops landing in Poland and with the Ukrainian forces now attacking Pro-Russian strongholds in East Ukraine, it’s just a matter of time before Russia “officially” invades. I say officially because Russia troops are already operating and technically in control of East Ukraine. Here is the latest and what you need to know.

Let’s see how markets react when this powder keg blows sky high.

What You Ought To Know About America’s Constant State Of War. Disturbing.

I cringe, just a little bit, when I pay my taxes. Not because of the dollar values involved, but because I realize that a small portion of the proceeds goes towards waging warfare and killing thousands of people (100K-500K death in Iraq alone) in countries most Americans can’t even identify on a map. Today, the Obama administration, the industrial military complex and the warmongers throughout the US are hell bent on restarting the Cold War over an irrelevant nation 6,000 miles from an American shore. Here is the latest and what you need to know…..

While most Americans could care less, they should. Short-term, this conflict with Russia will have an impact on the US Economy and our capital markets. Long-term, we will face something so horrific that WWII will look like a picnic. I have already outlined the future in my comprehensive report Nuclear World War 3 Is Coming Soon.When, How & Why.

Paris (AFP) – Former US president Jimmy Carter said Tuesday the West should not impose sanctions that would hurt the Russian people over their leaders’ actions in Ukraine.

“So far, we have limited the sanctions to the leadership of Russia, and I think that is the proper approach,” the Nobel peace laureate told AFP on the sidelines of a discussion in Paris on climate change.

“I don’t think we would go so far as to impose sanctions that would hurt the Russian people.”

The statesman was taking part in a meeting with students as a member of The Elders group set up to promote human rights around the world.

US Vice President Joe Biden earlier warned Russia of “more costs” and “greater isolation” if it continued to “pull Ukraine apart”.

Carter, who is credited with brokering the 1978 Cape David peace accords between Egypt and Israel and establishing US diplomatic relations with China, said Russia’s takeover of Crimea had been “inevitable”.

“I don’t think anything could have been done by the US or European countries or anyone else to prevent that eventuality.

“Russia has always considered Crimea to be part of Russia.”

And he said: “my hope and my belief is that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is not going to use military force” in eastern Ukraine.

“He is going to try to use other means to convince those people who live there that their best option is to cast their lot more towards Russia than towards the West. So I don’t think there is anything we can do that is going to deter Putin.”

Carter said Ukrainians must be allowed to decide their own fate.

And he said he hoped they would be supported by Russia from the East and the United States and Europe from the West so as to “not be torn between the two.”

The US and European Union have imposed targeted sanctions on members of Putin’s inner circle over the crisis and Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula. They have threatened more wide-ranging measures as tensions over the former Soviet republic continue to spiral.

Why Is The Obama Administration Standing With The New Neo-Nazi Government In Ukraine? I Am Outraged

I won’t go into too much detail here and I encourage you to research the subject matter at hand on your own accord, but here is what you need to know about Ukraine’s new government. Maidan, a right wing subset of Ukrainian politics is a scum of the earth that follows neo-nazi ideology. Just to give you an idea, this same subset of Ukrainian population joined the invading German army in 1941 and happily proceeded to go on a killing spree, helping the German SS kill millions of Jews, Russians and Ukrainians.

My question is……What the fuck is Joe Biden doing in Ukraine proclaiming his undying love and support for such a government? Unfortunately, you know the answer to that. The US Government, the industrial military complex and the warmongers throughout the US are hell bent on starting some some sort of conflict with Russia over an irrelevant nation 6,000 miles away from an American shore.

U.S. says will act ‘in days’ if no Russian action in Ukraine

I have said it before and I will say it again. Any further sanctions against Russia will escalate this conflict to no end. If you believe that Russia will not respond in kind and the US financial markets will not feel the impact, well, you are about to lose a lot of money.

Why Is The Obama Administration Standing With The New Neo-Nazi Government In Ukraine? I Am Outraged Google

Reuters: U.S. says will act ‘in days’ if no Russian action in Ukraine

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States’ government said on Monday it will decide “in days” on additional sanctions if Russia does not take steps to implement an agreement to ease tensions in Ukraine reached in Geneva last week.

The steps include publicly calling on pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine to vacate occupied buildings and checkpoints, accept an amnesty and address their grievances politically, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

“If they don’t take steps in the coming days, there’ll be consequences,” she said at a Monday news briefing. “Obviously, we would have to make a decision in the matter of – in a matter of days – if there are going to be consequences for inaction.”

Some U.S. lawmakers have been clamoring for President Barack Obama’s administration to impose stiff new sanctions on Russia’s energy industry and major banks to encourage President Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops from the Ukrainian border and discourage further Russian incursions into Ukrainian territory.

“I think it’s time to move on the next round of sanctions,” Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy told Reuters on Monday, although he added that he backed giving Moscow two to three days to implement the Geneva agreement.

“I think it is important to explore diplomatic solutions when they potentially become available,” the Democratic chairman of the Senate’s Europe subcommittee said in a telephone interview.

“The Russians were willing to sit down in Geneva for the first time across the table from their Ukrainian counterparts, I think that discussion was worthwhile. I don’t think the jury is fully in on the Geneva agreement,” he said.

‘GOING TO LOSE EASTERN UKRAINE’

Some members of Congress have made it clear they do not believe sanctions already in place – such as travel restrictions on individuals announced by the Obama administration – will stop Moscow.

“I think we’re going to lose eastern Ukraine if we continue as we are,” U.S. Senator Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on NBC television’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

Washington and Moscow each put the onus on the other to ensure tensions are eased in the worst confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

“If there’s no progress, we remain prepared, along with our European and G-7 partners, to impose additional costs. So there’ll need to be decisions made in a matter of days,” Psaki said.

In a telephone call on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to “influence Kiev, not let hotheads there provoke a bloody conflict, and impel the current Ukrainian leadership to fulfill its obligations unflaggingly,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said.

But Kerry said casting doubt on Ukraine’s commitment to the accord “flies in the face of the facts,” according to Psaki.

Ukraine has sent senior representatives to the east with representatives from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), put forth an amnesty bill for separatists to give up public buildings and weapons and called an Easter pause in military operations, Kerry said.

“He asked that Russia now demonstrate an equal level of commitment to the Geneva agreement in both its rhetoric and its actions,” Psaki said, such as by sending its own senior representative to work with the OSCE.

Kerry also asked Russia to join the United States in seeking the release of Imra Krat, a Ukrainian journalist being held by pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of the country, she said.

Why Russia Ought To Invade Ukraine As Soon As Possible

I continue to believe that the US has no business, whatsoever, interfering in Ukraine’s business.  Yet, since the warmongers in the US are hell bent on starting another conflict with Russia over a small nation 6,000 miles from an American shore (while being responsible for destabilizing Ukraine in the first place), Russia should invade as soon as possible to resolve the conflict. While such actions will have short-term consequences, over the long-term such a move will help prevent civil war, bring economic stability to the Ukraine and stop the spread of destabilizing cancer known as NATO.  As such, the sooner Russia goes in the better.

Why Russia Ought To Invade Ukraine As Soon As Possible Google

Bloomberg: Ukraine Says Russia Preparing Grounds for Invasion

At least three people were killed in a clash in Slovyansk in eastern Ukraine, the nation’s Interior Ministry said, as a top security official accused Russia of exploiting the violence to prepare grounds for an invasion.

Three “activists” were shot to death while on duty at a roadblock in an attack early today that also left three other people injured, the ministry said in a posting on itswebsite. It said the assailants took “wounded and killed along with them,” without providing details. Ukraine’s Security Service said saboteurs carried out the assault.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry blamed the Ukrainian nationalist group Pravyi Sektor for the violence — an allegation that Pravyi Sektor denied in a statement. Viktoria Syumar, first deputy head of the National Security and Defense Council in Kiev, said on her Facebook page that Russia’s accusation and statements show it is preparing grounds to invade Ukraine.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk called Russia a “threat to the globe” in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” program that was recorded yesterday. “If Russia pulls back its security forces and former KGB agents, this would definitely calm down the situation and stabilize the situation in southern and eastern Ukraine,” he said.

Armed pro-Russian activists march on April 18, 2014 in Kramatorsk, Ukraine.

Military Outposts

Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Dmytro Horbunov said in a telephone interview with Channel 5 television today that there have been three to four cases of “provocations” by unknown people against Ukrainian military outposts in the Luhansk region in the eastern part of the country. The provocations consisted of throwing rocks and fireworks, the spokesman said.

The discord adds to skepticism about whether Ukraine, the U.S., and the European Union will be able to use an April 17 Geneva accord to hold Vladimir Putin accountable for easing tensions that the Russian president says he’s had no role in creating.

With separatists holding their ground in several eastern cities, the prospect for a small-scale civil war has increased, said Angela Stent, director of the Center for Eurasian, Russian and East European Studies at Georgetown University in Washington.

“I see this as a creeping destabilization,” Stent said in an interview today. “I’m not sure it’s a civil war yet, but the pre-conditions for a civil war are there.”

Geneva Agreement

Nothing has been done to implement the agreement reached in Geneva last week among the U.S., European Union, Russian and Ukraine that was aimed at defusing the crisis, she said.

“I see nothing that persuades me that anyone will be able to dislodge these people,” Stent said of the pro-Russia separatists who have occupied government buildings in the Russian-speaking East.

Any civil war likely would be confined to those eastern towns, where the separatist movement is based, said Stent, author of a new book on U.S.-Russian relations called “The Limits of Partnership.”

“It’s not a large-scale civil war, but it’s political paralysis because nothing’s going to move forward,” she said.

Ukraine’s Economic Minister Pavlo Sheremeta, speaking on the private television channel 1+1, said today officials expect the International Monetary Fund to act this week on a loan to the country. Ukraine’s government sealed a preliminary accord with the IMF last month for as much as $18 billion in loans in the next two years. The rescue would unlock additional international financing bringing the total package to $27 billion.

Cold War

Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergei Kislyak, said new economic sanctions on his country would amount to “the revival of the Cold War mentality” and would be counter-productive.

“We can withstand pressures,” Kislyak said on “Fox News Sunday” today. Claims that Putin seeks to restore the former Soviet Union are “a false notion” and Russia seeks only to ensure that Ukraine becomes “a country that is democratic, that supports the rights of all the ethnic groups, including certainly Russia’s, and we want to have a friendly neighbor,” Kislyak said.

U.S. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top-ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said the Obama administration should impose sanctions on Russia’s energy and banking industries unless there’s an immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from the Ukraine border.

‘Day Late’

“Our foreign policy is always a day late and a dollar short because we’re reacting,” Corker said on “Meet the Press” program today.

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, echoed Corker’s call for stronger action.

“I think the time is now to rapidly ratchet up our sanctions, whether it’s on Russian petrochemical companies or on Russian banks,” Murphy said on “Meet the Press.”

Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, said he’s hopeful that Ukraine can avoid a civil war.

“What I hear from Ukrainians across the board, and especially on this Easter holiday, is a desire to bring everybody together,” Pyatt said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program today.

“There are obviously efforts from small, isolated groups to stir division,” Pyatt said. “But that’s not what I hear from most Ukrainians, including, I should add, Ukrainians in the East.”

Separatists who stage demonstrations and take over government buildings don’t represent the majority of Ukrainians, he said. “We’re really just talking about a couple of hundred of people at most of these sites.”

Putin Decides Against Invading Alaska. Obama Utterly Disappointed.

Despite a White House petition calling for Alaska to secede from the US and rejoin Russia collecting more than 42,000 signatures, Vladimir Putin dismissed any sort of annexation or military invasion as unnecessary in his recently televised interview. The hopes of Alaska freedom fighters (terrorist) were squashed when Putin added “It’s just too darn cold there”. When asked for a comment President Obama responded with, “I am utterly disappointed with comrade Putin’s decision on this matter, it was our fastest path to war, but it’s squandered now. I guess it’s back to the drawing board and escalating this conflict through normalized channels”.

HP Writes: Vladimir Putin Says Alaska Is Too Cold To Annex

Russian President Vladimir Putin quashed the possibility that Russia would annex Alaska while on a question-and-answer call-in show Thursday, adding that the former Russian colony is cold, too.

Amid rising Russian nationalism after the president’s annexation of Crimea, Putin responded to an audience member’s suggestion of annexing Alaska during the televised national phone-in, asking, “Faina Ivanovna, my dear, why do you want Alaska?”

Russia is a “northern country” and 70 percent of its territory lies in “Northern and extreme Northern regions,” Putin said, according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti. “Is Alaska really in the Southern Hemisphere? It’s cold there, too. Let’s not get hot-headed,” he added. Russia sold Alaska to the U.S. in 1867 for $7.2 million.

“Who needs Alaska?” Putin added.

A White House petition calling for Alaska to secede from the U.S. and rejoin Russia has garnered more than 42,000 signatures since the initiative launched in March.

Despite rising tensions between the two nations, Putin assured his audience Thursday that “growing relations with the United States” remains in Russia’s best interest.

“I want to emphasize once again, Russia is interested in growing relations with the United States and will do everything to ensure that this confidence is restored,” Putin said.

The U.S. levied sanctions against Russia and select government officials in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March, and has warned that additional sanctionswill be imposed if Russia further intervenes to destabilize Ukraine.

Obama Administration Sets A Clear Path To War With Russia. This Little Known Fact Will Infuriate You

An important question. What the fuck are we doing starting a massive international conflict over a tiny nation 6,000 miles away from an American shore? I hope you are smart enough to understand that the conflict with Russia over Ukraine has nothing to do with freedom, democracy and the rest of “feel good” American propaganda bullshit and everything to do with NATO expansion and warmongers/military industrial complex in Washington.

Further, comparing Russia to Nazi Germany or “we must stop them now” is not grounded in reality and I will debate anyone about this on historical basis. The US would behave in exactly the same fashion (if not worst) if Russia or China were trying to build a massive military base in Tijuana. This leads me to only one conclusion. With Iraq and Afghanistan wars now over, the Military Industrial Complex needs another massive enemy and they will stop at nothing to get it. As per links below expect thing to deteriorate significantly over the next few months. Sanctions and counter sanctions, economic warfare, cold war, etc…..  To say that I am ashamed of my government at this juncture would be an understatement.
