Russian Central Bank Raises Key Rate to 17% from 10.5%
Russia's Central Bank, in a bid to stem a sharp decline in the ruble, raised its key interest rate to 17% from 10.5%.

Earlier Monday, Russia's currency lost more than one-tenth of its value, collapsing to a record low and raising fears that the Kremlin wouldn't be able to stop the slide as the price for oil, its main export, also continued to fall.

The US is behind the crash in oil prices, meaning that 'drill, baby, drill!' has more geopolitical consequences than first imagined.

Producing our own cheap energy will boost our economy and make us less vulnerable to the demands of those who sell us energy.

It will badly hurt Putin's thugocracy and it will dampen the enthusiasm of many other oil soaked dictatorships. Cheap oil might lead to more peace.

It may be hard to admit. But this was while Kerry was begging for support to "strategically bomb a little" Syria.

With hindsight now, who would you say had a better read on the situation? Our Sec of State Kerrry or Putin?

Putin fucked up, and the Russians are too fucking drunk to realize it.Their hate will grow towards the US because McDonalds is closed, even though it is the EU that is turning more screws. This is fucked up, because the majority in that fucked up country have no access to uncensored news, and their drunk most of the time, so who knows, maybe some drunk pilot will fly a plane to Newark and attack, like in Dr. Strangelove. Anyway, what happens in that nation full of drunks means shit to me. Merry xmas.

Putin should have cut loose Assad, but he didn't, because he hates the US, and that "nigger" in the White House probably more (I am paraphrasing). Obama thinks he can have both a Syria without Assad, and control ISIS. Both are assholes, that are in the process of fucking up the entire planet. GW Bush opened the gates of hell when he invaded Iraq, who would have thunk that most of the Muslim world would go jihad over American actions in the Middle East. I did, and most everyone else except the fucking Republicans. Funny, in a macabre way, how Republicans managed to fuck the entire world up, not just the US.

And a Jihadist just killed 2 hostages in a chocolate shoppe in Australia for all their war crimes.... Oh wait.

If I was motivated I could provide you a list of all the hundreds of countries that have been the target of terrorist attacks but you wouldnt get the reference...

They are going to try to kill us either way because we dont worship their god....

In this case they had help from democrats who voted for the Resolution to go to war in Iraq. The reason I wont vote for Hillary CLinton. She knew Hussein was no threat to the USA but voted for political reasons.

No knots at all. GW and his cronies lied to make the Congress vote for the attack on Iraq. Iraq was in a somewhat political stable state ( OK, Saddam wasn't that nice a guy) . This brought to the forefront the divisions between the Shia and the Sunni in Iraq, and it has spread Ever since those two groups have been hacking at each other, and now you have ISIS killing every Shite they can get their hands on. Is there a connection? I think so.

This is satire, but try to argue against it.


Keep playing the partisan game though, it's really helping....
