Walk like a Putin


Recommended Posts

A team of European neurologists says in a new study that Russian presidentVladimir Putin walks with a peculiar “gunslinger’s gait”.

The study, published on Tuesday by the British Medical Journal, notes that Putin has shown a “clearly reduced right-sided arm swing”, possibly related to weapons training he received when he was part of the Soviet KGB.

Donald Trump has said that he would "get along very well" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.



Apparently, the feeling is mutual.


Putin offered high praise for the billionaire businessman turned Republican presidential front-runner on Thursday during an annual news conference with reporters.


"He is a bright and talented person without any doubt," Putin said, adding that Trump is "an outstanding and talented personality."


And in remarks closely mirroring Trump's own assessment of the race, Putin also offered his assessment of the U.S. presidential campaign, calling Trump "the absolute leader of the presidential race,"

Was watching "Vice" on HBO last night and it was the episode on Putin and Russia. Economic sanctions have really hammered Russia. The ruble is in free fall and Russians are experiencing serious inflation problems. Putin is probably wishing Bush had stayed president and Obama had not rallied the world community against him and Russia

Russia's economic problems are tied to energy prices. Obama has tried to curtail exploration and production but has failed in that regard. Whether Russia would be worse with Bush cannot be determined, but Russia certainly wouldn't be better off with him. As I've stated here numerous times, the way to control Russia is through energy. It wasn't that many years ago that they could hold Europe hostage by threatening to withhold natural gas from them. Now it's a blue light special.

If Pres Obama has proven anything in foreign policy it is that his is the JV team.

Russian source: Kissinger came to Moscow to discuss a new financial system with Putin

 

(Alexander Sobyanin is quoted)

 

"Henry Kissinger represents a certain group of the US political elite that includes the Bush clan. The world is rapidly moving towards the destruction of the current financial system. In these circumstances, those who own budgets of entire nations are looking for opportunities to save their money so that this money works when the current financial system disappears and a new financial system emerges.

 

(snip)

 

The US is now trying to change the world to the post-dollar world. Obviously, the world will no longer be global. WIth Putin, the Americans intend to establish tandem cooperation, despite the extremely aggressive political rhetoric against Russia. The US and Russia still cooperate on vital issues in most sensitive areas, including war, oil, investment, technology, etc. A variety of economic associations are being created now, and the Americans want to be leaders everywhere: BRICS, the Transatlantic Partnership, etc. They are working on all this very actively.

 

In this battle, due to the fact that the US debt is snowballing, rescuing the US economy is impossible even if the whole Middle East is set on fire, we can see the two clans fighting to the death -- The Bushes and the Clintons. In this sense, the upcoming elections in the US will probably be the last because America may change to become an absolutely different nation, in this battle Madame Clinton is stronger."

 

(big snip)

 

"Now is the epochal moment when Russia can determine the fate of the United States. It is only the US elite who can talk about it, and Henry Kissinger is a person who represents the US elite."

 

(snip)

 

"On February 12, 2016 the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill is to meet Pope Francis in Cuba. This is an unprecedented event. Why do top players -- the United States, The Vatican, Germany, France -- suddenly begin to seek mutual understanding with Russia?"

RED LINE: “23 dead as missiles hit three hospitals, school in Syrian towns

 

The report is more gruesome than the headline makes it sound:

 

Fourteen people were killed in the town of Azaz near the Turkish border when missiles slammed into a school sheltering families fleeing the offensive and the children’s hospital, two residents and a medic said.

Bombs also hit another refugee shelter south of the town and a convoy of trucks, another resident said.

“We have been moving scores of screaming children from the hospital,” said medic Juma Rahal. At least two children were killed and scores of people injured, he said.

Activists posted video online purporting to show the damaged hospital. Three crying babies lay in incubators in a ward littered with broken medical equipment. Reuters could not independently verify the video.

In a separate incident, missiles hit another hospital in the town of Marat Numan in Idlib province, in north western Syria, said the French president of the Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) charity, which was supporting the hospital.

“There were at least seven deaths among the personnel and the patients, and at least eight MSF personnel have disappeared, and we don’t know if they are alive,” Mego Terzian told Reuters.

The author of the strike is clearly … either the government or Russia,
” he said, adding that it was not the first time MSF facilities in Syria had been attacked.

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev claims that the West is rekindling the Cold War — a propaganda push left unanswered by our White House or State Department.

Russia says international meeting for #Syria cease-fire cancelled http://wapo.st/1SDPtaR?

 

The cancellation, if true, signals another setback for international efforts to broker an end to a civil war that has killed 250,000 people, displaced millions and turned into a a dangerous proxy conflict among world powers.

 

 

 

 

Well, I guess the world knows who is calling the shots..................
