Russia Under Attack

C’mon Angela, Let Them Greexit
C’mon Angela, Let Them Greexit With each passing day it becomes more obvious that Europe is heading for an epochal financial conflagration.

There’s Brussels And Then There’s Real People
There’s Brussels And Then There’s Real People Once again, a look at Greece and the Troika, because it amuses me, it angers me, and also because it warms my cockles, in an entirely metaphorical sort of way.

US “Isolated” As Key Ally Japan Considers Joining China-Led Bank
US “Isolated” As Key Ally Japan Considers Joining China-Led Bank Well, that escalated quickly.

Amid “US Coup”, Venezuela Takes Another $5 Billion Loan From China
Amid “US Coup”, Venezuela Takes Another $5 Billion Loan From China The people of Venezuela can rejoice… not so fast. Amid paranoid-sounding (though not unlikely) rantings about US-created coups (and blaming ‘economic’ war for his nation’s Socialist utopia hyperinflation), it appears President Maduro just got another life-line (or more rope to hang himself). After begging China’s leader […]

German DAX Surges Over 12,000 On Greek Optimism, But The Money Has Run Out Moments ago, the German DAX roared gingerly back over 12,000 dragging US equity futures alongside it, with the catalyst cited as the somewhat optimistic tone following the three hours of talks held late last night to try to break an impasse […]

Washington Retaliates: Shifts Anti-Missile Battery Into Poland, Begins Rapid-Response Drills In yet another sign that Washington is keen on preserving the sanctity of sovereign nations’ right to choose peaceful democracy over violent tyranny, the US is set to use Poland as a staging ground in an effort to prove (because some folks weren’t sure) that […]
Cracks In Washington’s Empire
