• China, Russia, Japan, America, all the large economies in the world are in trouble. Runaway government spending, loss of productivity, an exploding population, idiotic social programs, governments borrowing from other governments, the entire house of cards will crash down one of these days and unless we get leaders in Washingtoon who know what they are doing we will crash with it.

  As General Bison said: This is delicious!

• The whole world is in debt, only a matter of time before our present financial system collapses. Then watch the shit hit the fan, it's all part of agenda 21.

• This is likely a good thing. Russia's cost of borrowing will increase and to compensate I think they would boost their energy production for export, which should lower prices.

  Putin might also think twice about trying to crash the dollar since the ruble could soon be worthless. China is collapsing so by default, and no thanks to our own policies, we will be the last ones standing again.

  Just trying to connect some dots.

  • And King Barky will claim victory, saying everything happening is because of his stewardship.
    I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

• I'd be surprised if there are any sanctions. The EU "statesmen" are under pressure from major corporations there because so much of their business comes from Russia (not to mention their energy.) Obama, Biden and Kerry right now remind me of nothing as much as one of those old 3 Stooges shorts where they paint themselves into a corner.

  • Perhaps the White House will issue a harsh tweet?

    • Or, start a new Facebook page to raise money for the DNC, and buy more red line ink.

    • At worst Obungles will have a very stern round of golf... let THAT be a warning to Putin... and if he persists Bathhouse Barry will play another 18 holes. That'll show him.

• Now Russia and the USA have something else in common.

  • Great! How much longer before we are a totally Communist state?

    • The covert process is more or less complete. All that remains is for there no longer be a need to maintain the pretense of Capitalism, democracy, freedom, etc.. They're almost there too- with (presumably) the 47% who would support it- and all they need is for the 51% wolves to dictate to the 49% sheep what's on the menu.

    • We are not yet done being a fascist one but give it time; we'll get there.

      • Gee, I now have renewed optimism!
