FUTURES SOAR AS TRUMP POSITIONS TO KILL PEOPLE IN SYRIA

Via Zerohedge

Russian warplanes, which are manned by faggots, have been harassing the USS Donald Cook — buzzing it numerous times as it positions to light up Russia’s prime Middle Eastern ally — Bashar Assad.

It is claimed that the US Donald Cook-named destroyer left Cyprus ‘s Larnaca port and landed near Syrian territorial waters. It was claimed that the missile destroyer named “Arleigh Burke” class Donald Cook (DDG-75) reached Tallus 100 kilometers and had 60 Tomahawk fuses on board. -CNN Turk (translated)

U.S. military planners have drawn up more than one option for possible military action against Syria, including a strike similar to last year’s attack in which 59 sea-launched cruise missiles inflicted heavy damage on a Syrian Air Force airfield in Homs.

Pentagon officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the options now are similar to those presented to President Trump after last year’s chemical attack in northern Syria that killed and injured hundreds of civilians, including women and children.

But officials said the president could decide to choose a more robust option this time, given that Syrian President Bashar Assad didn’t seem to get the message last time.

On this news, S&P futures are +32, Dow +300 — due to the pending feeding of satanic demons who require the blood of the weak to continue on into the future, peaceful and harmonious, from within the confines of Sauron.

In other news, which is also bullish, global debt rose to a fresh record $237 trillion — up $70 trillion since the financial crisis.

Global debt rose to a record $237 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2017, more than $70 trillion higher from a decade earlier, according to an analysis by the Institute of International Finance.

Among mature markets, household debt as a percentage of GDP hit all-time highs in Belgium, Canada, France, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. That’s a worrying signal, with interest rates beginning to rise globally. Ireland and Italy are the only major countries where household debt as a percentage of GDP is below 50 percent.

Still, the ratio of global debt-to-gross domestic product fell for the fifth consecutive quarter as the world’s economic growth accelerated. The ratio is now around 317.8 percent of GDP, or 4 percentage points below the high in the third quarter of 2016, according to the IIF.

Among emerging markets, household debt to GDP is approaching parity in South Korea at 94.6 percent.

Up $70 trillion since the financial crisis.

Nite.

    Missing the mark. Market is up because President Xi’s conciliatory speech this evening:

    Xi sees an “open and prosperous” approach to Asian economic development
    Cold War and zero-sum mentalities are “out of place”
    Says dialogue is the way to resolve disputes
    China will significantly lower import tariffs for vehicles
    Says China will increase transparency, strengthen property-rights protection and oppose monopolies

    300 DOW points. Blood sacrafice paid indeed.

    Oh almost forgot. Happy 1-year Air Strike Anniversary!
    It’s seems pretty uncreative to celebrate with the same target country as last year. Now we certainly don’t want to tell anyone a hard date when we leave the country, but let’s make sure that they know before we launch missiles so they have time to scramble the jets.

    Looking at how the markets shrugged last time, I’m thinking this will be yet another in a series of moves where the retail investors Buy High in the morning and then get Faded Out. Unless we move at least 2% up, I’m not going to even bother to make any moves.

      The market shrugged last time because we only created a few potholes in an abandoned airfield after warning the Syrians before the strike. Scared the daylights out of the few scorpions living there.

    How much more pathetic this schoolyard bullshit can get? So there’s Israel, this little slithering, backstabbing, cowardly pipsqueak poking and provoking the bear knowing there’s USA, the dumb retarded bubba that’s going step-in to protect this unworthy dastardly pipsqueak Israel who sits on the side grinning and wringing its hands from all the profits coming its way from destruction of others,

    Fly, I enjoy how these days you reference The Lord of the Rings! PLEASE let me know if you’d like to talk Tolkien, I have the equivalent of a graduate level education and I think it very applicable to your mindthink and that of our country.

    ALSO, DO YOUR HOMEWORK BITCHES, WE’RE FUCKED!

    And, just so you know, you voted for this, and if you couldn’t see that’s coming I would like to say that’s your problem expect you made it mine.

      Dems only smear thus far that has been effective rallying their base is “Putin’s puppet” Trump will dismantle it right before the election by giving Hillary the world war 3 she always wanted when she promised no fly zone if elected even knowing that General Dunford said that would require 100,000 troops and war with Syria and Russia.

      Americans have already been presold on a war they can’t do anything to win, but hey at least Trump destroys the “Putin puppet’ reputation and Hillary gets the ritualistic sacrifice she always wanted.

      Bernie never had a chance thanks to Hillary and she may have saved his live because Bernie would have died from the stress by now, but at least he’d be in the only place where his Marxist utopia works… The pit of hell,where everyone gets income equality and equal amounts happiness.
