It was a sarcastic remark, but I overestimated your intelligence.

By the way: You should take a geography class. PART of Russia is located in Europe and PART of Russia is located in ASIA. And the Asian part is even bigger than the European part. Who is the imbecile? ROFLMAO. A Russian who doesn't even know his own country.

Obvious troll. You should go to your containment thread aka surf report.

Have you lived in Russia, if yes, for how long? I've lived in a mainly Russian area for most of my life and understand their culture quite well.
What you said is that anyone going against the US will be blown to pieces by a missile, are you saying US missiles don't reach London or Moscow now? You should stand by your statements.

Trump is a damn cowboy.He doesn`t have a clue what the real world policy is.He listen to his generals, who by their nature tend to understate risks.Several russian military were killed during tomahawks attack.(medias are silent about it).Do you guys want another maraphons blows across america or something like that?

No doubt,Putin will fight if it comes with he territory as you speak.

US is probably the better alternative to play world police than say Russia or China though.

Nobody has an ultimate right to set the tone in the world policy,in my opinion.There were institutes for that,like the UN, for e.g., which`s turned into an useless meeting of a bunch of bums eating for our expense.

H4M and Res2016.....Frexit is going to have a huge effect on the markets in the coming weeks. I deliberately didn't start this in P&R because even though its political, its going to profoundly influence the markets (Forex, futures, VIX, ETF's ...) in the near term and in that sense its very much trading related.

I know its a fine line, but can we please keep the thread geared toward the discussion of particular outcomes as they change day by day and ideas on how to play this market-wise and make $'s off of the Vol. This is a major money making event and it deserves some intellectual discourse. Try to keep personal political views out of it or Magna is going to send it to the cellar. Thnx.

Tell this to Putin. He is the biggest danger at this moment to start WW3. Because Russia (and Putin personally) is suffering he wants to make problems everywhere if possible.

How about you graduate elementary school first before coming to post dumb shit on the internet?

Russians are betting on LePen and hope that the rouble will get stronger. And that Europe will collapse.

I think you meant EU will collapse and all unions relating to it (Schengen etc). EU collapsing would be the biggest gift to Russia, they're already working on it by putting LePen in power as you mentioned. They're attacking all angles though, look at Hungary and Italy for example - both are saying "let Russia completely destroy Ukraine, we don't care one bit". Russians are pretty good tacticians, as the objective is to confuse chaos and confusion, putting one EU state against the other in different regions works very well.

You can't deny that the US has a lengthy history of "active" foreign policy (just look at the number of countries that have been destroyed in the name of democracy). You also can't deny that the US has dealt rather brutally with its enemies when it was permissible. I would not go as far as to compare the US policies to the ones of Russia but certainly there is plenty of US actions that are deplorable. There is a reason why the US is the most hated country of earth.

Thankfully, MAD prevents the US from going completely off reservation when it feels "wronged". Honestly, thank God for nuclear weapons and balance of power.

I've criticized the US multiple times before, was called an Euroturd and anti-American. Now I dared to criticize Russia and suddenly I'm a brainwashed propaganda victim.
Saying "Russia is horrible" is not the same as saying "America is wonderful" but our friend recession here doesn't seem to get this. This is the main defense of russophiles online have, when attacked and unable to justify, they result to bringing up American wars as if it's a justification.

Without the US, Russia would've gone rogue a long time ago.
The Iraq war was a crime but take a look at the longer history, how brutally Russia attacked all the Siberian tribes up to the pacific. Russian official history goes something like "everyone welcomed the Russians with hugs and kisses" but once you start reading what really happened, it's very dark, far worse than say Iraq or Afghanistan.

Singling out Russia while ignoring all other countries that do the same or worse nullifies your argument. There is clear bias in your comments. You can't argue for something when you're biased from the get go.
