maybe,
but the u.s. keeps the world oil shipping lanes open etc.
Sorry, but this is strong medicine, and WE NEED IT.
The US —not Russia— is a parasite.
The WashPost —not Pravda— is a dishonest, government CHEER LEADER.
These times are crazy as hell, sure, but that’s the damned TRUTH.
HE IS RIGHT.
Maybe, he was talking about leadership in Washington?
Putin gets it.
Putin is just another Tea Party terrorist. /s
The left has long believed the US is a parasite on the world, that is WHY they are bankrupting us
Last Wednesday, our favorite pizza joint had CNN on. We gotta get them to change that, but I digress. There was a guy on that said the very same thing...American is sucking up all the capital. Too bad it wasn’t a call-in show.
So watch what’s coming now, folks. That is going to be the new attack. Thanks Putin and CNN for giving us advanced info. I’m sure it will be used by Daily Kos, HuffPo, ANSWER, Code Pink, and of course, MoveOn.org very soon. Start preparing!
He does make the same points most other would emphasize, but their currencies have about this same connection to reality as ours does now. Finding one or several of sufficient magnitude and viability to replace the dollar as a worldwide medium of exchange and store of value becomes perplexing. An individual country might think they have a solution, but they know they must also survive during the resulting chaos as all countries seek similar solutions. They see the daunting specter of disaffected holders sending trillions of dollar denominated bonds to the marketplace when there are no buyers unless prices are severely discounted. They are also frightened by the image of a devastated U.S. economy, because feeding the insatiable desires of U.S. consumers has been a mainstay of their prosperity. I imagine something like the final scene in “The Good The Bad and The Ugly”. The members of the G-20 are standing in a circle with open graves behind them. They are all contemplating how they are going to successfully outdraw the other nineteen members and survive the resulting mayhem, which Lee Van Cleef’s character did not.
PLEASE!
If this is not justification for withdrawing all foreign aid, I don’t know what is! You’re on your own world! Please don’t ask us or our children or our grandchildren to contribute to your well being. YOU are on your own!
It was a problem with translation. Putin though Mark Halperin had refered to Obama as “kind of a tick”.
At over $100,000,000,000,000 (100 Trillion) in public and private debt, we are effectively bankrupt.
Remember that old flick, “Red Dawn”...?
I loved it! Cheered my lungs out when that kid held up the AK, screaming, “Wolverines..!”. I don’t regret it at all —the USSR was scary. Heck, in many ways it (Russia) STILL is.
But you know what?
RussiaToday (youTube) is WAY more honest about USA news than CNN is.
They don’t sugar-coat it —they never do.
I NEVER could have predicted that I’d EVER read or watch a Russian source, but we’ve reached a Twighlight Zone-ish place where ex-commies (?) are more honest than the President of the United States.
Nice try, Pooty, but parasites aren’t usually the biggest organism in the relationship nor the one whose life blood is being drained away.
I love it!
Class warfare goes global.
Liberals do not even know what they’ve unleashed.
George Orwell was right: “So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.”
He is right. We abuse our reserve currency status by printing trillions of dollars exporting inflation. It will come back to haunt us.
Putun is a boil on the global backside.
