![[image loading]](https://img.rt.com/files/2016.11/original/5822e1cfc3618883258b4578.jpg) The Russian leader noted in the message that he hopes to address some “burning issues that are currently on the international agenda, and search for effective responses to the challenges of the global security,” RIA Novosti reported. On top of it, Putin has expressed confidence that “building a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Washington, based on principles of equality, mutual respect and each other's positions, meets the interests of the peoples of our countries and of the entire international community.” [..] “We are concerned with the deterioration of Russian-American relations, but that was not our choice, we never wanted that. On the contrary, we want to have friendly relations with the US, a great country and a leading economy,” Putin said at an economic forum in Moscow. Source | ||

Brokerage firm will encourage you to stay no matter what happens in the markets, because that's how they make money for themselves. The stats they provide can't really be an indicator: most people can't stand losing money in a short-run and you can span long-term bullshit as long as you can trade money for the time. That's exactly what idiots who speak about Wall Street corruption wanted: lose their money. | ||

Make America Safe Again Lock Her Up :DDD all the amazing memes asides lets see what happens before crying the sky is falling. Whatever mr President Elect Donald J. Trump has said over the years and during his campaign, the only thing that matters is what happens. Personally I figured Sanders seemed the least unreasonable but lets see how everything goes User was warned for this post | ||

Hahaha, an economically desolate and insignificant semi-dictatorship that has been trying to errode European Democracy and Unity might be pushed into a leading role in the world again by America. Quo Vadis, Land of the Free? If that's how post-communist politics work, maybe it's time to push for nuclear weapons and European intervention politics and European Nazis too, since that seems to be the only way to stay relevant. | ||

This is really so easy. This could have ALL been avoided. How to stop Trump: 1. STOP, for the LOVE of GOD, STOP peddling identity politics. Trump voters - working class people - despise it. They know what you're doing - it's obvious. 2. STOP treating ethnicity, gender, sexuality and religion as a proxy for class warfare; you are trying to displace them by creating a new under-class and stoking ethnocentrism, gynocentrism and tribalism for the purpose of manufacturing a new electorate and a globalised, supranational governance that NO-ONE wants. 3. STOP speaking about groups, start speaking about individuals (you know, actual liberalism). 4. Stop polarising ALL debate. Just because you aren't rabidly pro-feminism, it doesn't make you a misogynist. Just because you aren't rabidly in favour of the EU, it doesn't make you a fascist. Just because you don't support black lives matter, it doesn't make you a white supremacist. Just because you don't support SSM, it doesn't make you a homophobe. 5. Stop pushing mass immigration for the purposes of creating a new electorate. They know what you're doing. Every minority group in the UK is opposed to mass immigration. Even Hispanics are opposed to mass immigration, and are more conservative - on a policy basis - and religious than white males. 6. Stop preaching cultural relativism; if you oppose something for one identity, oppose it for ALL identities. Murder doesn't suddenly become more acceptable because the perpetrator is Islamic; sexism doesn't become more acceptable because the perpetrator is female; racism doesn't become more acceptable because the hatred is being spewed at white men. Get it? Until all of this STOPS, until we start to assign rights and responsibilities at the level of the individual and not the group, until all of the incessant shaming, self-loathing and guilt-tripping subsides, this will get infinitely worse. | ||

He might just flipflop his foreign policy views once he's president due to pressure from his advisors and the Deep State (military industrial complex, oil companies, CIA, AIPAC, etc.) and just be another George Bush. Of course he is going to flip flop. I would love to see US stop trading with China and start to manufacter their own computers. Once people see what things created in US costs the tears will flood. | ||

Yes, it's Russia -- in all its desolateness and insignificance -- that is responsible for the world falling apart and people rejecting the politicians that they feel are holding them back. | ||
