RUSSIA RISING

The more I reads, more uneasier I gets.....

I still wonder if the Mp might pull out by the end of 2014 with a 100% prediction rate.  That would not be good - since that means Russia would end up nuking the US (just not on my timeline), but on the Mp's timeline......  But then, if a guy gets 50% of his random predictions correct, then I still call him big potatoes......  It is a hard thing to do when you get in the random territory

  1. Read these links. They are in German but you can Google Translate them if you wish. I will tell you what they are about anyway...

    The German army wants to buy more tanks because they are scared of Russia's military buildup near Ukraine.

    Without the US dollar, Canada and China sign currency agreement. Basically Canada is going to ditch the US Dollar in trade and start trading in Yuans.

    Here are the ones about Slovakia being part of this...

    Slovakia to use the veto power against Russian sanctions. Slovakian premier saying the sanctions are too harsh and counterproductive.

    http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2014/09/04/slowaken-erreichen-ausnahmen-von-russland-sanktionen/

    There the Slovaks have found exceptions to the Sanctions and are using them. Apparently the leader there IS pro-Russian.

    Whereas you can't really confuse the Czechs with the Hungarians given that their cultures are way different, it isn't so complicated with the Slovaks though you might get a scowl instead of a beatdown as Colaco indicated in his comment.
