"Geopolitical Situation Most Dangerous Since WWII"

    Our policy has been clearly expressed over the years. Simply put, it is to deliver long-term capital growthwhile preserving shareholders’ capital; the realisation of this policy comes at a time of heightened risk, complexity and uncertainty. The economic and geopolitical environment therefore becomes increasingly difficult to predict.

    

    The world economy grew at a disappointing and uneven rate in 2014 after six years of monetary stimulus and extraordinarily low interest rates.

    

    Stock market valuations however, are near an all-time high with equities benefiting from quantitative easing.

    

    Not surprisingly, the value of paper money has been debased as countries have sought to compete and generate growth by lowering the value of their currencies – the Euro and the Yen depreciated by over 12% against the US Dollar during the course of the year and Sterling by 5.9%.

    

    In addition to this difficult economic background, we are confronted by a geopolitical situation perhaps as dangerous as any we have faced since World War II: chaos and extremism in the Middle East, Russian aggression and expansion, and a weakened Europe threatened by horrendous unemployment, in no small measure caused by a failure to tackle structural reforms in many of the countries which form part of the European Union.

In short you are in Rome, some people believing to be smart, decided to fuck Gaius Julius Caesar and all his Men when they were away. they came back and saw. what comes next? And if you knew what they did away... you wouldn't have dare to fuck them, ohh no. but it's to late... they did. When it was said never fuck with the legions, it wasn't only meant for the outsiders.

So I can't agree on his assessment, it's even risker    .

I find it difficult to disagree with his statements, even if there wasn't any risk in disagreeing.

But to have someone in his position say it out loud may change sentiment in many amateur / small time stock traders.


I have to complement this with an obligatory:

Sell!!!

It's not as risky as the Cuban missile crisis, or when Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary in 1956, or the Korean war when the Americans got too close to the Chinese border for comfort.

It is a bit of a tinder box though, it wouldn't take too much to start a war, especially when the BRICS and the traditional powers have such different systems in place and value systems.  They just don't mesh well together, then consider that the BRICS are growing ever stronger but not really being given recognition of this by the G7 and other institutions, I could imagine a war starting, even if just to gain the respect they feel they deserve.

Interesting would be what modern day war looks like between mayor powers.  There hasn't really been one for a long time.

There's going to be a huge war in Europe soon.

You felt to get that the real ww will one the us soil (and western nations), it will be an homefront war, between the oligarchy (and those serving it inside the usmiic) and the clean part of the usmiic. Once the clean part get how much they have been fucked, internally (meaning by those in the hierarchy) and a new line of orders (clean) is brought, IE ROMANLIKE  (meaning the gen and co can stand among friends when walking among the troops - meanwhile the d.e. of the usmiic walks among prey to exploits).

A apart China (thousands years of war xp) and Russia (less but still pragmatic enough)... In what are the values different? nope it's just those receiving and those being exploited that change... Maybe most "people" are children of apes... that looks like humans... that would explain a lot. Some kind of white skinned monkey was able to rape and procreate with woman long ago... who knows... using dna tech? When plausible explanation became irrational I know who isn't in charge...

Each day we allow governments to continue having nuclear warheads ready to launch against civilian populations we reaffirm our insanity and powerlessness against state violence.

War can break out at any place - Ukraine, Korea, Israel, India-Pakistan....
There are 2 many conflict zones in the world now.

No, it will be a civil war mostly, agains these control freak gangster banksters. The poor people can no longer pay for their corrupt asses, nor for the asses of maffia policians, but the maffia still continues to increase taxes and steal from every corner they can.

Now they put VAT on bitcoin? WTF. Hang these bastards...

NATO is rattling their sabres.

NATO will conduct one of the largest navy exercises in the Black Sea . US, Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian, Italian forces will conduct joint exercises off the coast of Crimea, starting from the Bulgarian port of Varnu. Russian Foreign Ministry already issued a statement that it views these exercises as a provocation. It bears the signs of a large defence-mapping operation, just like the ones that Americans conducted, flying into Soviet space and triggering and mapping radar responses. One such operation went too far, almost ending in a direct war between USA and USSR (see the KAL-007 incident as investigated by Michel Brun).

Maybe Russia, China, Cuba and India should conduct joint exercises off the coast of Florida. I am sure USA will have no objections whatsoever.

At the same time, Norway and its NATO contingent will conduct some of the largest exercises in the last decade in the North, right on the Russian border.

Add to that regular flights of the American warplanes along the Russian border in the Estonian airspace.

EDIT: And 120 units of USA's armour arrived in Latvia. Looks like a concentration of forces on all fronts before an assault on Russia..?

By the way, about Estonia. One of its MPs said bitterly that Estonia has been turned into a banana republic for the West, rubber-stamping all the laws passed on from above. Welcome to the reality. Russia was infected with the same virus in the 90s, when not a single law was passed without an American advisor's approval.

PS:
NATO seeks regime change in Russia - envoy
http://rt.com/politics/238325-nato-seeks-maidan-russia/

The latest statements by the deputy head of NATO testify to the fact that the leaders of the bloc want to intervene in Russia’s internal politics, and are “dreaming of Russian Maidan.” This is the view of Russia’s permanent envoy to NATO.

“The speech in Riga demonstrates the concern about Russia’s democracy and internal policy. At last, now we know that NATO has a dream, and this dream is a Maidan in Russia,” Aleksandr Grushko said in comment that was tweeted through the Russian representation office in the alliance.

Grushko referred to the words of NATO's deputy secretary general, Alexander Vershbow, who had told a conference in the Latvian capital Riga that President Vladimir Putin's "aim seems to be to turn Ukraine into a failed state and to suppress and discredit alternative voices in Russia, so as to prevent a Russian 'Maidan.'"

Both officials used the Ukrainian word ‘Maidan’ to describe a string of protest actions that eventually turned into mass unrest and the ousting of the legally elected president and parliament.

“By demonizing Russia, NATO creates a virtual reality, disconnecting itself from real threats to security,” the Russian envoy said.

Grushko added that NATO itself has used “hybrid warfare” against foreign states and now the alliance is attempting to accuse Russia of starting such a war in Ukraine.

“NATO has a long history of hybrid operations. Any country or organization can take a lesson from it. We have earlier seen these signs of military intimidation, hidden involvement, weapons supplies,economic blackmail, diplomatic duplicity, mass media manipulations and open disinformation,” the Russian envoy stated.

“The statement made in Riga is yet another set of arguments seeking only to justify NATO’s confrontational attitude to Russia,” he said.

“It is not likely that NATO has the right to consider itself the sole source of truth. The alliance has repeatedly discredited itself by spreading false information both about its own behavior and about the actions of others,” Grushko said in conclusion. “Not many will follow NATO’s advice to return to the times of the Cold War,” he forecasted.

So now the 78-year-old Nathaniel Rothschild comes out with a warning about the dangers of the present geopolitical situation. Very good. We already saw Alan Greenspan, who just a few days ago celebrated his 89th birthday, making similar statements regarding the possible collapse of financial markets. What are they looking for, penance and mercy? Are they getting ready to kick the bucket, and will it help them in the Hereafter?

Any word from David?

It isn't war when one send is way superior compared to the other.

Placement of NATO weapons along Russian border is a provocation from Washington (video):

And Lavrov announced that Russia's response to the NATO threat will be adequate, though he is of the opinion that the solution should be a diplomatic one, through talks.:

It does seem like very dangerous times to be living in. I think a world war could quickly break out and spread around the globe if we're not careful. Russia and America really need to stop taunting each other as I can't see it helping anything.

Posted in short about it above, here is a more detailed analytical article:

What Are NATO Ships Doing in the Black Sea? Is the World Finally Starting to Awaken?
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/what-are-nato-ships-doing-in-the-black-sea-is-the-world-finally-starting-to-awaken/

A couple of days ago, several US and NATO ships entered the Black Sea and docked in Varna, Bulgaria, with a stated purpose of the Black Sea NATO drills, but with the real goal of lending ‘support’ to the Kiev regime against Russia. In reality, this is nothing short of the usual provocation by the US and NATO. See the footage of NATO/US ships entering Bulgaria port here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9yVmbUcmE4

That’s where the story gets a little strange. Per initial information, the ships were supposed to head to Odessa, to flex some NATO muscles as close to Crimea as possible and to demonstrate to Odessans, still shocked from the May 2, 2014 burning of people on Kulikovo Polie and sick and tired of the Kiev junta, that NATO is fully on the junta side. But so far, for some reason the Odessa docking hasn’t happened.

My sources in Odessa say should NATO ships enter Odessa Port, an explosion of protests would happen. Despite the city being practically under ukro-nazi siege, the magnitude of protests could be akin to those in Sevastopol, Crimea, when it was still a part of Ukraine.

Each day we see the world looking more and more like it is headed to another big war... For all we know we are already half way there and it is only a matter of time. it is quite sad to see...

Holy shit balls that tank selfie is beyond the pale. You just know that man would piss himself with fear if he ever found himself on a real battlefield.
