Crisis: Don't we care? - page 44

 
Yepsel, that's what's flattening you all :)

perhaps the decline of the russian empire started after napoleon's campaign, when russia took on the role of the gendarme of europe, the same thing happened to the ussR - the role of hegemon of world socialism, the same thing is happening to the uSA, in general when a state starts solving other countries conflicts without territorial benefits for itself, it is already a diagnosis

to be more precise, there has been no empire since 1991.

---

The U.S. is also about to disintegrate... or weakening... it's inevitable

it's the laws of history, a large entity if it proliferates inevitably dies

that's been the case with all empires...

---

territorial benefit arises only if the country is able to retain control of the territory

---

for example, there is not one place where the U.S. has succeeded, or is likely to -

(their geographical position does not allow them to control even Iraq or even Cuba)

they couldn't handle little Cuba and little Vietnam ( or rather they weren't given it then )

There is no example in their short history where they have succeeded in controlling territory

but they're good at smashing

Aghanistan is a whole different story! no one in the history of the world has been able to control that territory

and they won't take...

we can bomb Iraq, but already now most of the Iraqi population suddenly longs for the old days when there was stability

and the US will have to leave... and they will most likely leave... at least in the doctrine of the current leaders it has already been stated

---

so this is a diagnosis ! I agree with you...

---

it's even a law of nature... you can't hold your ground or leave it, but you can always bite...

and nature loves balance...




 

Why do they announce it in advance? People will rush to exchange offices to get rid of the "new reserve", (not a bad name for vodka, by the way))

The ruble may weaken in the near future. This was announced by Chairman of the Central Bank Sergei Ignatiev. According to him, some of the funds received from the Central Bank are converted into foreign currency and placed in accounts in foreign banks, which is a game against the ruble. "I do not rule out an increase in the ruble's exchange rate flexibility, with some tendency for the ruble to weaken against foreign currencies," Ignatiev warned.

The day before, Troika Dialog, an investment company, made a forecast that a weaker ruble in Russia would help boost Russia's economic growth and reduce the current account deficit.

A cheaper ruble would help domestic producers and exporters alike, the investment company said. The latter would be able to earn more money when converting dollars and other currencies into roubles. In addition, after the ruble weakened, the stock index could hit rock bottom and start rising, the investment company said.

It's always like this.

Cheap ruble is bad for exporters, sweet music for importers.

Well, slap a law if necessary, and that's it.

A cheap rouble will cause a spike in inflation. Because imported goods will become more expensive. Pensions and wages will continue to rise (if only not to kick out...). And with the cheap ruble, we will get more rubles for oil ... and this in turn will increase the money supply inside the country. ( In practice, the growth is not so fast, if a rapid increase in inflation is needed, they can stimulate it.) We lived with a quid over 30p... and the price of oil was 20 quid. The revenues used to come mainly from expensive oil. ( They took extra rent from oil producers and did not look too much at metallurgy...) and now they will be chasing everyone.

 
Singsong:
- What's going on in Russia?
- It's just a mess.
- Just a mess, you think?
- Yes, I think so.
I'm helping him as much as I can myself -

There's no way to live as usual anymore...


- What's going to happen?
- It's going to be a scribe.
- It's going to get fucked up, you reckon?
- Yes, I think so.
I've been reading the internet and newspapers since this morning,

Watching the box, and finally feeling it myself...


- How's it all gonna end?
- There's going to be a default.
- There will be a default, are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
I've already heard, and I've verified that rumour,

It's like I've got a fucking screw loose on the people...


- What does it mean?
- No question!
You'll remember we've been through more than that.
- You think we should shoot ourselves?
- I'm suggesting that we should just give up on the psychosis...

No matter how many times we've been taught how to live,
We're still stepping on the same old rake.
So in the midst of misunderstandings and troubles.
I'll offer you four hundred grams of vodka.

What's the crisis to you - silence and grace inside,
And reality begins to turn in circles:
That's how Russians always help each other...
And one, two, three,
one, two, three,
one, two, three,
one-two-three...
 

The Dow seems to be testing the low for the third time. It's still going down. And so do we...

 
Mathemat >> :

... He's still going down. And so do we...

No, let him fly without us :)

 

So, our RTS is oriented on the Dow....

P.S. That's it, the Dow is gone (19:41 Moscow time, 20 November 08). Let's move on.

 

How will Gazprom force Ukraine to pay 2.4bn dollars?

It seems that the crisis exacerbates the debt issue + the famine factor ))
