Back in March 2014 we forecast that it in the aftermath of the US State Department-sponsored coup in Kiev, it was only a matter of time before Ukraine (all of its sovereign gold having since "vaporized") succumbed to full blown hyperinflation and economic implosion. Less than a year later, precisely this outcome has finally played out, and as a result, the entire nation has finally entered its economic endgame, which has two conclusions: either it joins Greece in becoming a ward of Europe and the IMF (thank you Joe Q taxpayer), or it quietly fades away into insolvent "failed state" status.
This is in a nutshell the assessment by Goldman Sachs, presented below, which really doesn't say much we didn't cover earlier in "Ukraine Enters Hyperinflation: Currency Trading Halted, "Soon We Will Walk Around With Suitcases For Cash", but which does lay out the alternatives for yet another nation brought to ruin through American neo-colonial expansion, in what may well be a record short period of time. Of these, the primary ones focus on yet another IMF bailout which the agency may find some resistance to as a result of the near-total collapse of Greece at the same time. SNIP-
Should the IMF fail to provide the much needed funding (and as of this moment the days of merely jawboning its support for the central banks are finished since Russia will once again shut down its gas to Kiev unless it is paid in full and upfront), this is what happens: "the Ukrainian authorities could tighten FX controls further. -SNIP-
Hence our question to Ukrainians: was the coup worth the economic disintegration of your nation, and leaving your faith in the hands of the US, whose recent global intervention case-studies include such sterling examples as Libya, Egypt and Iraq?

Does Zero Hedge really think it matters? The place is a kleptocracy, no matter who is running it. Failure was inevitable.
Also remember Obola’s 2012 election live mic statement to Putin, that he would have more flexibility once reelected.
As inferred by some other’s here, it seems this administration’s foreign and domestic policy incompetence and mistakes are intentional and benefit Russia more often then not.
The weaker we and NATO are, all the better for Putin and China.
Ukraine is ruined by Russian Imperial Expansion
Anyone who acts as if it anything else is liar
“Does Zero Hedge really think it matters? The place is a kleptocracy, no matter who is running it. Failure was inevitable.”
You falsely attribute the opinions expressed in the article to Zero Hedge, when they are instead the opinions of one or a group of anonymous authors. For all anyone here can know the article could have been authored by one of Putin’s secret intelligence services and handed to a Putin Internet troll for anonymous publication in Zero Hedge. The content has the lies, innuendo, and lines of false propaganda characteristic of the disinformation being disseminated by Putin’s intelligence services.
Exactly right. Which is why whoever wrote this propaganda needs to hide behind the anonymous name Durden.
The Tylers have built a very popular blog and I congratulate them. I also feel for them, it must be hard to write doomsday articles 24/7 and then go home to your kids and hope it doesn’t happen.
“Ukraine is ruined by Russian Imperial Expansion Anyone who acts as if it anything else is liar”
LOL...
The evidence that the Obama Administration was behind the toppling of the legal Ukrainian government last year is so overwhelming at this point, that the subject really isn’t up for debate.
Only a fool, or an Obama follower, would think that Russia was going to sit back and let that happen without reacting.
“Not sure...
You should email and ask them.
After they get finished laughing at you, they might give you an answer.”
You posted the pro-Putin article containing the standard line of false propaganda from the Russian government with an anonymous author/s using a pseudonym, so it is your responsibility to vouch for the sources you claim to be truthful when they are in fact falsehoods. So long as you refuse and fail to do so, we’ll exercise our right to conclude the source of the false accusations is serving as a false propagandist for Putin’s Russia.

EXACTLY what is it in the article that you dispute, other than it hasn’t been pre-approved by EuroMaidanPR/Ukraine Ministry of State Information?
To you, as well.
EXACTLY what is it in the article that you dispute, other than it hasn’t been pre-approved by EuroMaidanPR/Ukraine Ministry of State Information?
“EXACTLY what is it in the article that you dispute...[false and perjorative comments deleted].”
Every single sentence you excerpted for the posting.
So, Goldman Sacs is a “Putinista”?
Dude......
I already pointed out to you one (of several) things I dispute in this article.
Yet you ignore it.
And instead you set of a dishonest strawman fallacy by saying that I dispute anything that "hasn't been pre-approved by EuroMaidanPR/Ukraine Ministry of State Information".
wow
That is amazing, Obama and his Nazi jews are invading Ukraine and Russia is innocent in all this....
right
You’re just flailing now.
You might want to stop digging.

Not sure how you got all of that from this article, but if you could point it out for the rest of us, it could be helpful.
LOL.

You’re just flailing now. You might want to stop digging.
And you double down on saying absolutely nothing.
yes or no
Do think Putin's KGB staged the coup to throw their man out.
yes or no
Ragnar Lothbrok, yeah!
