Nice source, Samm. Damn, you're an impressionable shill.

Globalresearch.ca (also under the domain name globalresearch.org) may best be described as a left-wing equivalent to WingNutDaily. It is the website of the Montreal-based non-profit The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG), founded by Michel Chossudovsky.

The website describes itself as an "independent research and media organization." Globalresearch.ca takes pride in being a reliable "alternative news" source serving as a major repository of a broad range of "news articles, in-depth reports and analysis on issues which are barely covered by the mainstream media" (such as the New World Order). Its politico-economic stance is strongly anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-militarist, "internationalist but anti-globalization." Its view of science, the economy and geopolitics seems to be broadly conspiracist.

While many of Globalresearch.ca's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian or environmental concerns, the site has a strong undercurrent of reality warping and bullshit throughout its pages, especially in relation to taking its news from "Russia Today", along with other unreliable and/or open sources.

Despite presenting itself as a source of scholarly analysis, Globalresearch.ca mostly consists of polemics many of which accept (and use) conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and propaganda. The prevalent conspiracist strand relates to global power-elites (primarily governments and corporations) and their New World Order. Specific featured conspiracy theories include those addressing 9/11, vaccines, genetic modification, Zionism, HAARP, global warming, and David Kelly. Analyses of these issues tend follow the lines of the site's political biases.

Apparently, contributors to Globalresearch.ca consider information sourced from anyone who seems aligned to their ideology as reliable; during the 2011 Libyan civil war the site was an apologist for Muammar al-Gaddafi, reproducing his propaganda and painting him as a paragon of a modern leader. It's no surprise then that the site has long become a magnet for radicals, fringe figures and crank elements from the left in general. And ironically, it has more in common with its writers' enemies and wingnut rivals than they would ever admit.

The truth is irrelevant to them. They are to busy handing the power to control their emotions over to a complete stranger who could care less about their childish behavior. I guess they need someone to hate and Im the target of the hour.
I imagine I would find more tolerance of a an opposing opinion at a KKK meeting.

Worthless shill. You have yet to link to a reputable source in any of your posts. Every single one goes to an interrelated crackpot website.

Miserable shill.

Seeing where it comes from and their established relationship with the Russia Today, I'd say it's an article written to strengthen Russia's bargaining position over Crimea. S(h)amm, her paymaster, and her cited websites seem pretty active in this regard.

You still will not answer whether it makes sense or not.

From the POV of someone who wants to strengthen Russia's bargaining position over Ukraine, yes it makes sense. For those trying to resist Russia's aggression, no. It can easily be read as a lobbying effort to undermine the concerted effort by the West that Russia fears most, something that S(h)amm and her paymasters/mentors seem to support. What you see depends on where you stand.

In your opinion can it (effect of Russian financial retaliation) occur as stated by the Russian.

I'd say "as threatened by the Russians" (and passed along by willing accomplices like S(h)amm). I think any such effort by the Russians would have far greater negative impacts upon their economy than ours or the world's in general. Their economy and their currency are both basket cases. That's why they (and their shills) are making such threats. It's all they got.

It's often said that they're a Third World economy with a First World army.
