Mr. Putin’s comments were followed by a response from Secretary of State John Kerry who visited Kiev today. Secretary Kerry called on Russia to refrain from using force and said the United States is not seeking a confrontation, but if Russia does not deescalate, then the U.S. will be forced to increase pressure on Russia. Less than 30 minutes after the comments from Secretary Kerry, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the introduction of any potential sanctions will be met with a response that is “not necessarily symmetrical.”

      I cannot confirm, but I suspect Putin’s charge was swift in killing weird (Al) Viktor Yankovich with a Russian spy that made it look like a heart attack while Russian troops acted as the distraction. Either that or the Tesla earthquake (Cronkite linked to) scared him off.

    At the end of the day, the west will bluster about, filling our diapers and Vlad the Destroyer knows we aren’t going to lose a single life over the Ukraine…..Vlad will take what he wants and then depart to his dacha on the Black Sea surrounded by leggy Ukrainian super models. (possible homo)

      I don’t think you’ve been paying attention to what the empire has been doing these past 13 years.

      War isn’t even a thought for these maniacs.

        I pay very close attention. In the eyes of the Russians, we are weak and while we may have the technological superiority, they have home field advantage in terms of logisitics and proximity to troops. Coupled with the fact that Russia lost 20+ Million people in WW2 and the fact that the West can’t stomach the relatively tiny loss of life in Iraq and Afghanistan, they know we don’t have the stomach for a fight. They do and that is why Vlad can pull this crap off.

          People want to have it both ways. They say “we are too weak” and then complain about us attacking everyone without a whim.

          Here is the unvarnished truth: America is the most dangerous country in the world because it has the most advanced and stocked military, coupled with an industrial-government complex that has become increasingly unstable, aggressive, and belligerent about what they truly want.

          The last thing Putin sees is weakness in America, more like “these fuckers are scary maniacs.”

            That depends on who is in charge…leaving aside the arguments about who is really in charge, Barry is a guy that believes in soft diplomacy and minimal casualties. Fucking with the Russians gets you neither of those things. Would the U.S. win an all out knuckle dragging scrap? Yes – the question is whether they have thte balls for it anymore.

    The complex does not own Congress – yet.

    They will need to before any of the cool shit gets shot off, and then replaced, wight is where the real money lies.

    This fight in the Crimea is over already, though. Tolstoy fought there and wrote about it – and Crazy Ivan will not give it up now.

    Putin is only interested in Crimea for the pipeline to Europe that will soon bypass Ukraine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Stream

    America is the root of all terror. America has invaded sixty countries since world war 2.
    In 1953 America overthrow Iran’s democratic government Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed a brutal dictator Shah. America helped Shah of Iran to establish secret police and killed thousands of Iranian people.
    During Iran-Iraq war evil America supported Suddam Hossain and killed millions of Iranian people. In 1989, America, is the only country ever, shot down Iran’s civilian air plane, killing 290 people.
    In 2003,America invaded Iraq and killed 1,000,000+ innocent Iraqi people and 4,000,000+ Iraqi people were displaced.
    Now America is a failed state with huge debt.

      The Shah was better than the Ayatollah. We have the frogs to thank for that.

    The VXX perfect correlation to the FXY is still there. Why?

      Has to do with the “carry trade”.
      Borrow in a currency with low or zero rates and buy risk assets such as US equities (or buy a higher yielding currency).
      It also has an affect on emerging markets equities.
      It is interesting to watch the correlation between FXY (yen etf) and EEM (emerging markets etf) and the US stock market.
      …. or something like that.

        Thanxs caddy. The VXX did not trade this way last year. Everytime the SPY made a new high the VXX made a new low. Distribution possibly or just bullshit noise.

    Does FB believe accumulating information is so profitable, that a losing proposition for Internet Service Providers is a winning proposition for them?

    My view is Internet service is market based, it is installed and improved where demand with money exists.

    What is the business plan in delivering millions of low income people, with no disposable income?

    Perhaps they would like to be the first, and discourage other investment? The thing is, many areas of the USA have not evolved into profitable service areas, decades later. There are no Whole Foods Market locations in West Virginia.
