Who gives a fuck.
When you understand who owns MSM you will see a small website has far less gain in the information they pedal.

When you yourself can stand there a say Fox News lies and is agenda driven. Then the reality is all Media Lies and all are Conspiracy theory driven.

Thats why I look to all sources. It's called cross referencing.

There is so much you are missing with your nose in corporate media. Oh the corporations that you all seem to be against.

I also remember reading that they had cornered exports to some "corridor" and I was impressed that it amounted to over 30% of the world population but I cant find that article at the moment. Im in and out of here getting ready for my day.

The article says that, in 2013, China's exports rose by 7.6% worldwide. In the same period, exports to the US rose by 7.5%, almost exactly equivalent to the growth overall. That sort of shoots down in flames your contention that the US is becoming a less important market/trading partner for China.

Meanwhile, the increase in exports to the EU lagged far behind the curve at only 2.1%. The area of largest growth was in exports to ASEAN countries, a collection of small second and third world countries, where exports rose by 10.9% but that growth was partially offset by a 5.1% reduction in exports to Japan.

Now that Kerry is coming to Kiev are we the ones going to take care
of the bill?

Well, he arrived with $1bn in his suitcase.

I like!

Pat be a sheep and listen to the ones that control this country and the world.

And then come here and complain about the deceptive irrelevant crap they want you to focus on.

They are both irrelevant and unprofitable without eyeballs and shills like S(h)amm do their best to provide these eyeballs.

I know and it kinda sucks. I'm always sort of conflicted about going to these bullshit sites. On the one hand, I want to know what's "informing" the other side but, on the other, I know they depend on website hits for revenue. I don't like the idea of enabling that.

Wow! Wow!
Kerry comes with a 1 billion dollar package.
The Ukraine oligarchs/mafia are smiling.
