Putin calls truce in sanctions battle

Russia’s stock market opened sharply lower on Friday as a second rating agency, Fitch, followed Standard & Poor’s in warning that it would downgrade the country’s credit rating in the wake of the punitive American response to Russia’s move to annex Crimea.

Visa and MasterCard ceased operations with Bank Rossiya, the only corporation singled out on Thursday by the new sanctions because it served as a “personal bank for senior officials of the Russian Federation.”

Of course he does. He has annexed Crimea and has what he wants. But I expect he is getting an ear full from the bankers and money people in the new USSR.

The EU and the US needs to keep tightening the screws on Adolph Putin....

Does anyone really think Putin can win an economic war with Europe and the USA? It's brilliant the way the EU and USA let him play the role of braggart and big shot while they hold back and patiently inflict little nicks in his armour and stabs at vulnerable spots. Each day his economy is taking hits. He is stuck with a weak and easily made useless port in a place that will cost his country billions to maintain. He has awoken the whole of Europe who are now determined to take the time and apply resources to escape any and all control from the pagans and Rus to the east. The Czars have never been welcome in Europe, only tolerated, just barely.

Does anyone really think that Russia is going to go it alone over economic warfare with western nations? have you heard of BRICS? DO you know the relaitonship between China and Russia economically?

Do we always think inside the little tiny box of a worldview we have?

So when do we march on Moscow?

Not to worry. I'm sure that within minutes of the re-institution of the Draft, you'll be headed for Canada.

So you'll be fine. Your kind always is

This is only the beginning.

Russia is going to feel the hurt over this.

Unlike Georgia.

When a real weak President whined to Pooty Poot "Your Cold Blooded".

Then cried. Like Boehner.

It will play out one of two ways. He will either line himself up with the G7 so it can become the G8 again ( these are the planners of a European / American style new world order ) or he will have a talk with his communist and Islamic allies - Iran, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuala and Nicaragua and say hey! Guys! Why should we share everything with them? Let's make our own New World Order and rule it ourselves without them. Time will tell which one it will be. I don't believe anything Putin says. I watch what he does.

I wonder what would happen to these U.S. and EU sanctions if Putin retaliated by shutting off all energy supplies to Europe.

And?

More exports for us.

And less income for Russia.

Dude, I used both domestic and international sources to analyze the topic. Already knew enough about BRICS to know BRICS is not even in the picture.

"The first result of the West's standoff with Russia is that it spell's the end of BRICS."


From the WALL STREET JOURNAL - MAR 18, 2014
by Timorthy F. McCarthy

"...after observing the tens of thousands of disguised soldiers shipped in the the Russian government into Crimea over the last few weeks, it is clear even to optimist that Russia is not being run based on rational economic objectives for its people or investors."

None of the BRICS members will stick with Russia, not even China. India is already talking with Japan.

Nonesense as usual. Do you even have any idea how energy flows work in such regard? You think the US can ship the EU demand for energy via boat and create a stable supply line to Europe?

Please educate yourselves. You come off incredibly ignorant of reality.

Propaganda is still propaganda.

Both India and China are backing the russian move. Regardless of this western cushion piece of conjecture.

And our energy costs go up dramatically. Putin's cash cow is the energy he sells. The sanctions are hurting enough without him stopping their exports.

No they aren't. China abstaned from the U.N. Security Council vote to declare the move into Crimea illegal. They refused to give Russia a positive vote.
It's not propaganda. Both articles are written specifically as advice to investors. There is no political motivation. Both authors make livings out of giving accurate financial advice, not giving political opinion. The only financial advisors suggesting investment in Russia point out that it is a gamble, but since the Moscow exchange is crashing, stocks are low and hence a good time to invest if buying low and being acceptable to long term investments are attractive as an addition to your porfolio.

No link necessary. Look at the timing here. There is a reason she asked for no news reporters this time. It's not a vacation. This is an important trip. Pray for her success.

Or:

Stopped making payments on international loans
Ceased cooperation with Iran and Afghanistan
Ceased exerting influence over Assad's chemical weapons
Kicked us off the space station
Seized the assets of American companies in Russia.

President Putin won. He has what he wants. He can afford to be magnanimous.

It's so important that she trucked her mama along. She doesn't want news of her shopping leaking out. She doesn't want a repeat of Spain or India.
