Formalizing the colonialism. Now they get to enjoy the local girls getting raped by GIs.

Just because someone is literally "asking for it" doesn't mean you should do it.

Useful for everyone who isn't no-hits out there

This could be very useful clinically.

This is the most stupid pearl-clutching I've seen in some time, and that's saying something.

Search and Siezure without warrants. They didn't even pretend to try. And then the nerve to demand they sell all their property for next to nothing to the USG, and are not allowed even to rent it out.

Now nobody will bet a penny on their diplomatic missions being safe around the Americans.

This, I fear is the point of no return in our relations. Like the script the cops have written for themselves by being so arrogant as to brook no challenge to their authority, this too will result in blood. It's telling that YouTube blocked the video.

They're now banking on getting a haircut with their lenders. Methinks they'll get a decapitation instead.

The guy has it wrong, but his finger is directly on the pulse of the zeitgeist. Pretty lulzy overall, being over-the top painfully hip.

Long story short, everybody is living beyond their means (or trying to look like it without actually doing so). And they're pinning their hopes on speculation, and will get screwed.

That was quick

As is the case with all public sector pensions.

Quite the escalation. Nothing good can come of this.

Pretty much what you expect from Salafists. Doesn't hurt the Israelis are covertly supporting them.

When the CB owns 50% or more of outstanding shares, you basically live in a command economy. Just wait until they own all the mortgages...oh wait

Over the Hurricane. Where is your precious 2A piece of toilet paper now? Adjust your sights, folks. $STUDY

Not just the unconvicted ones now!

Once a STASI, always a STASI

Smart. Can't rely on USA sugar daddy forever, and the Russian plan seems to offer a more credible path to peace and prosperity than the pentagram's.

Gee maybe if Loan originators couldn't pawn off all risk to GSEs they might give a shit about the risk to the capital and not have loaned to build these places in the first place? It certainly doesn't help that the FED has encouraged this malinvestment with unprecedentedly cheap money.

Kill them gooks! Who cares that S. Korea is 1/10 of world GDP and would be vaporized instantly!
...
These chikenhawks are real brave with other peoples' blood.

The Would-Be Hindu Hitler continues the descent into madness.

This is a big enough breach to ruin them as a firm, and cause serious disruptions to the economy. This and the two hurricanes (along with the already obvious signs a downturn is on the way) imply this is fall shaping up to be a good buying opportunity.

Spain predictably gets angry

Verrit sounds pathetic.

In June he warned his opponents to 'prepare coffins' ahead of the elections.

Currently the government there is busy shutting down and jailing anyone who would oppose them. Unfortunately, this article blindly shills for regime change near the end (as if that would help... ha!).

This time as a petrodollar. Sounds like it will fail to me (due to Gresham's law).
