However, hello!
On the eve of the New Year, they frighten us with monstrous sanctions, the collapse of the ruble and other nonsense. In fact, there is a more terrifying horror film - this is an impending, unprecedented and almost inevitable world crisis.
Against the backdrop of Trump's recent triumphant reports about the amazing success of the American economy, it is interesting to look at the dynamics of the shares of the great and terrible Goldman Sachs, one of the most influential banks in the world. We see a 35% drop from annual highs, which has eaten away all the gains of the so-called tramporoll - a 13-month rally. CNBC notes that all the growth in quotations for 18 years was eaten away by the continuing decline in the market. Investment analyst Thomas Essey warns that the market will not survive another rate hike by the US Federal Reserve.
This is the end of a ten year uptrend. There is no longer any reason for the growth of the global economy. This growth was based on zero rates and money pumping. In America, in Europe, in Japan ... Rates are going up, the US Federal Reserve System, and behind it, all Western central banks are tightening their financial policy. As a result, all the old sores, which were smeared with the emission of money, crawled out.
Unlike 2008, when the crisis came as a surprise to all mainstream analysts, today there is practically a consensus on the coming crisis. The differences are only in terms: the 20th or the upcoming 19th. In fact, the ideal trigger, the trigger for the global crisis, could be the unleashing of the trade war with China declared by Trump. Today the markets were somewhat reassured by the 90-day truce announced after the meeting in Buenos Aires between Trump and Xi Jinping, during which the parties must agree on something.
China is obviously willing to make major concessions, but Trump's obsession with the trade deficit, coupled with concerns about the Chinese threat to American greatness, makes the situation unpredictable. In principle, American policy is predictably unpredictable. Because Trump consistently seeks to destroy the world order that America itself built as an instrument of its world domination and which has ceased to provide this domination.
Another difference between the coming crisis and 2008 is the wildest political tension provoked by the Americans. The United States has now embarked on a complete dismantling of the entire existing system of arms limitation in order to achieve its unilateral advantage in the medium term.
There is no medium-term outlook for the present time, in the event that a global crisis does break out. At present, he will be instantly transferred to the military-political plane, which is even for the better for us. Because we are so far better prepared for a military-political crisis than for an economic one. So happy coming!
From the cartoon "Revenge of Leopold the Cat":
- You are very kind! You need to get angry.
“I don’t know how, doctor.
- You can! Here is the medicine "Ozverin". Take one tablet at a time.
- So what?
- Become mad!
However, goodbye!

Mikhail Leontyev about television and himself: “Only a complete idiot can think that a major channel is ready to work for the sake of informing the viewer. The channel sells a product, it needs to be packaged. CNN, for example, is a colossal ideological tool in the West. A striking example of this is the situation around Yugoslavia. How spectacularly a very civilized part of humanity has been brainwashed! The question is in methods. If the consumer "hawala" stale bread, no one will give him buns with poppy seeds. I am an absolutely engaged person. Yourself. I have specific political views. I am not a journalist. I am engaged in political propaganda. I am a commentator, and if a person comments on events without having his own position, then this is a painful phenomenon. "
However, hello!
It is very likely that a Pandora's box such as they have never seen before is ready to open in America. Republicans in Congress voted to publish the so-called Nunes report on the investigation into the fabrication of dirt on Trump by the Obama administration and the Clintonshi headquarters.
This is an investigation that proved that the Clinton campaign headquarters and the leadership of the Democratic Party ordered and paid for the so-called "Steele dossier", which claimed that Trump was practically recruited by the Russians with the help of the incriminating evidence collected by the FSB. The administration, on the basis of this fake dossier, initiated an "investigation" by the Justice Department and the FBI. And from the transcripts of the conversations of the two FBI officers involved in this investigation, it became clear that they were not engaged in an investigation, but, in fact, political persecution of Trump in the interests of the Democratic candidate. Moreover, from these conversations it follows that after Trump's election, a kind of "secret community" has developed in the US security forces, acting against the president. So, immediately after the first transcripts became known, about 50 thousand records from the phones of agents were erased, and the FBI explained the loss as a technical failure.
“I think it will not end with layoffs. I am convinced that there are people who will go to jail. I was very convinced by the evidence, ”said Congressman Matt Goetz.
“In the end, I’ll say very simply: in the end, someone will be jailed, and the only question is who and when. But given only the information that we already have - and even more so the data that we receive from the memorandum and missing emails - someone will definitely sit down and get down to business, "said the former US presidential candidate Herman Kane.
This is a three-page so far secret report by Senator Nunes, the publication of which the Democrats are trying to block citing national security interests. It was this publication that Republicans unblocked in the House Intelligence Committee. Contrary to pressure not only from the Democrats, which is natural, but also from the US Department of Justice, whose leadership was appointed by Trump. In fact, the nature of the accusations and the mutual brutality of the parties are such that not only employees of the Ministry of Justice, the FBI, the administration, but also the functionaries of the Democratic Party, up to the Clintonshey, can actually sit down.
There are two parallel investigations, on "Trump's recruitment" and on "Russian intervention", which are not formally linked to each other. But, logically, emotionally and propagandistically, they are so intertwined that the collapse of the "recruitment case" will inevitably lead to "Russian interference in the elections", which, by the way, is also the basis for the second portion of anti-Russian sanctions. Numerous opponents of Trump in the press have already understood this and are trying to somehow unravel them, but it is almost impossible to do this using purely journalistic methods.
The investigation of the democratic conspiracy not only unties Trump's hands, including in relations with Russia, but also poses a direct threat to both the Democratic leadership and the Russophobic lobby in the intelligence services. And this cannot be allowed. And the only way for them is to drown this case in a new wave of anti-Russian hysteria.
And such a war can only be provided for them by Ukraine, which, finally, must work out the Maidan cookies. And they will try to drive Poroshenko to Donbass, despite the fact that he cannot but understand that this will be his "swan song". At the same time, the customers are not at all interested in the level of combat readiness of the Ukrainian army, nor its potential military successes, nor the fate of Poroshenko himself. The main thing is to provoke us to the maximum.
And we need to understand and calculate this.
However, goodbye!
