With China driving down the derivatives late last month I full expect when options contracts come in at the end of the month China is going to not roll them over but cash in. I have to wonder if they will cause a default since the Comex inventory is way over extended in the paper market.


Whoever thought it was a good idea to allow bullion banks to buy and sell things they other people own by putting up 1% was a good idea should be hung.

Uhhhh, the US military shows up and turns it into a 15 year debacle??

Yes, Of course Samm. You're absolutely right, as usual.

A major power ignoring borders is a dangerous precedent for sure.

A powerful one worlder like FDR would say in private 'Russia deserves a warm water port.' As a matter of fact one of those guys said that, either FDR or Truman et al, back then when the world was being rearranged. With 'the USSR' instead of 'Russia'. And no I don't remember exactly obviously, so I'm an open target

To heck if I know what to do. We'll have to trust our fearless leaders.

The US tax payer would probably not be amused.

Will this become a running gag?

Do not answer: "This depends on Samm!"

Miss Merkel did not want this regime change. She wanted a negotiated
settlement.

However the hot heads in our government and the Svoboda followers
derailed such a discussion.

The first thing the new Ukraine government did was to delegitimize the
Russian language.

You are so right. Im sure the Nuland phone conversation where she said "F the EU" during her discussion with the US ambassador in the Ukraine discussing who Washington would be putting into power didn't help much either.
I don't think this will last long. The Ukraine Navy Flag ship has dropped the Ukraine flag and hoisted the Russian flag

and the Ukraine special forces have refused to go to Crimea to fight the Russians. I think that leaves them the reserves and who knows how many will be loyal to a rogue self appointed government.

The Ukraine guys made their biggest mistake when they gave up the nukes after the USSR breakup.

Nobody invades a country with nukes.

Look at that oppressive Russian Army.


Look they are beating those poor woman to make them sandwiches.



Got to love the US Media presstitutes.
