Defeated By The Taliban, Washington Decides To Take On Russia And China

By Paul Craig Roberts

December 07, 2013 "Information Clearing House - The several days of organized protests in Ukraine are notable for the relative lack of police violence. Unlike in the US, Canada, Thailand, Greece, and Spain, peaceful protesters have not been beaten, tear gassed, water cannoned, and tasered by Ukrainian police. Unlike in Egypt, Palestine, and Bahrain, Ukrainian protesters have not been fired upon with live ammunition. The restraint of the Ukrainian government and police in the face of provocations has been remarkable. Apparently, Ukrainian police have not been militarized by US Homeland Security...

Meanwhile, the US appears to have persuaded its ally Taiwan -- a corrupt crony state -- to weigh in against China's newly announced air defense zone.

Come on man, the Ukrainians despise the Russians and don't want the government to cozy back up with them. Not everything has the CIA behind it.

The best part of this article are some of the posted comments ........

pelle34lindbergh:

America could barely afford the $$ cost of global containment of Russian and Chinese spheres of influence when Washington had the money to do it. It can't do this anymore -- no matter how much "quantitative easing" the US Federal Reserve, Japan's, the EU, and other European central banks can muster to back up US foreign policy.

Nor can we expect the peoples of countries who had to suffer through decades of authoritarian and banana republican autocrats just to stand up for US foreign policy to keep accepting the austere national budgets they'll be suffering through for the next several years.

Why Neocons Seek to Destabilize Russia
April 27, 2014

Exclusive: Any propaganda war starts by planting stories that your target is getting rich, whether he is or isn’t, the latest move in demonizing Vladimir Putin. But the larger question is what might happen if the neocons succeed in destabilizing nuclear-armed Russia, asks Robert Parry.

You should seriously consider taking a 'break from fantasy' yourself.

He'd have to leave the crapper to do that.

John Embry has some powerful thoughts about how Washington's anti Russia campaign could come back to haunt the US.

He's just trying to scare gold bugs so he can move product.

Of course you've fallen for the oldest trick in the book.

You probably think you need testosterone replacement therapy too, flaccid one.

W*gs appears to be in denial about the massive gold/silver manipulation currently underway -- to save the US dollar.

That manipulation seeks to disrupt and control free market mechanisms. Adam Smith is probably turning over in his grave.

But others around the world, including Putin, surely understand what is going on. Two can play the same game.

Should a smart well financed state decide to spoil the party, the Fed would be powerless to stop the rapid spike in the price of gold/silver.

As usual, Gaffo has no idea what he's talking about.

So does this mean I should buy, sell or just sleep on the bars of gold I've been hoarding. And... is this bunker I built under my house with gas masks and powdered food still a good investment?
