(CNN)US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a meeting in Geneva, Friday that Washington is
committed to a "united, swift and severe response" if Moscow commits
further aggression against Ukraine.

The two top diplomats ended their hour and a half bilateral meeting
Friday, during which the US tried to convince Russia to de-escalate the situation at the Ukrainian border where Russia has amassed tens of
thousands of troops and shown signs of a potential invasion into Ukraine.
At a news conference following the meeting with Blinken, Lavrov said
that the US had agreed to send written answers to all of Russia's
security demands.
Blinken will also hold a news conference following his meeting with
Lavrov.
"We are, all of us, all equally committed to the path of diplomacy and dialogue to try to resolve our differences," Blinken said Friday. "But
we're also committed, if that proves impossible and Russia decides to
pursue aggression against Ukraine, to a united, swift and severe
response."
Both sides admitted before their talks that neither was expecting a breakthrough on Russia's security demands, which the US and allies have deemed nonstarters.
Blinken reiterated he didn't expect the US and Russia to resolve their differences in the meeting but said he hoped to keep a diplomatic path
to addressing those issues open.
"We're committed to walking that path and resolving our differences peacefully," he said.
Blinken's meeting with Lavrov on Friday followed his meetings in Berlin
with his German, UK and French counterparts and Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
### - wow did ya watch this?? damn!
it sounded just like an ultimatum to moi?
impossible lines being drawn in the sand, lines already crossed that
can't now be backed-up on!?
i mean, russia ain't gonna go away unless they get 'something' that
reassures them, right? versus the west isn't open to even 'considering' compromising on their 'principles' of doing what they're ALREADY doing!? (something which has brought us all TO this very situation!) - and
THAT'S it???
...threats of a "massive" response on our part if russia even so much as 'sneezes' across the border, not helping to lighten the atmosphere any...
ultimately then: no discussion, just IF russia does THIS then WE'LL do
THAT!
and that's where it now all stands???
(talk about pausing on the brink of disaster huh, gee-sus!)
the ultimate pay for view the "flyers v. flyers".
### - ok scratch that last response haha (maybe next week for that onethe ultimate pay for view the "flyers v. flyers".
then heh) coz after several minutes of subsequently furious news-channel surfing, have hit on a bit i wasn't aware of in that they arranged to meet again next weeks with summat on paper?
iow: all this today was just the opening act in a typical
contract-law-type sit-down discussion, each party taking note of the
others needs/demands which they'll later discuss with their respective leaders etc, the next time returning with something now on paper to be further examined/discussed, each time meeting with the amended draft to further thrash it all out, clause by clause, until eventually they've gots summat acceptable to both parties, kinda thing...
not realising that next-week bit i thought that was it?? LOL !
goodnight fucking Vienna! :D

(CNN)US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
go time to unload your stock if you can't take the hit.
shit is gonna drop 20% absolutely.

cousin Ellis steps up to the microphone and sez:
"boys you can't stop what's coming"
it all it ain't waiting on you--that's vanity
### - hmm, there's a rather alarming update on the situation, asgo time to unload your stock if you can't take the hit.
apparently now 100's of tons of 'lethal' weapons are reportedly 'flooding' into ukraine for the first time?
i.e., the last time the world send any military support it was only for clearly defensive measures (a bunch of basically laughable stuff that
clearly couldn't be used in any offensive way)
THIS time, however, in the midst of what are 'supposed' to be peace-talks, the US are now sending choppers and shit for example?? (and not just the
US either, the uk has sent 2000 guided missiles!)
the russians no doubt, at this point, perhaps getting a bit jumpy at ALL
that heavy + clearly offensive weaponry being stockpiled in a bordering country against their express wishes?
that even if russia has no intention of invading, what is likely to then happen - even if everyone goes home for now i mean - is ukraine 'using'
these newly acquired offensive weapons at some point to attack the
southern occupied regions and/or even crimea!? (they've never actually stopped attacking them)
iow: the west has apparently now clearly chosen to empower ukraine to
perhaps more 'successfully' attack those occupied regions/crimea that they just couldn't do shit about before!
and that's bad news really, coz being their only access to the black sea
the russians wont give up crimea that easily huh... OR the buffer-zone they've created in the southern regions either!
they'll fight back!
and THEN what's gonna happen eh?
(lol and you said/suggested biden was boring/useless or something?? damn
it man, he's currently facing-down *russia* ffs! old trumpy was a pussy compared to THIS shit???)
it's the cuban missile crisis all over again, only worse!
coz THIS time it's right on russia's doorstep!
(so, from their pov, is russia really gonna just sit there now and 'let'
this situation happen?? coz they'll take this as provocation for sure, and
as such are currently running outta time in which to act to avert what's clearly coming!)
it hit 1842+ yesterday, up nearly 40 on the week...
gold is not gonna pay anything.
same old song and dance with that metal.
gold is not gonna pay anything.go time to unload your stock if you can't take the hit.### - keepin' one eye on gold here boss ;)
shit is gonna drop 20% absolutely.
it hit 1842+ yesterday, up nearly 40 on the week...
it was just a fart mr. pukeit hit 1842+ yesterday, up nearly 40 on the week...
gold is not gonna pay anything.### - gold typically sits absolutely still while everything else moves up/down around it, in that sense it's just a market indicator (one of
same old song and dance with that metal.
them) showing the 'value' (and thus viability) of other stock, that is
until everyone panics and starts buying it en-mass haha :)))
fear (of say a market collapse) makes traders move into gold because it always holds its value come what may, they wont earn anything from it but they wont lose anything either, so they don't do it easily or unless they have to...
so if gold suddenly surges then ya know summat bad's going down somewhere innit... in this instance peeps is maybe getting a bit nervous about war
so more & more of 'em are looking at gold, a slow rise of 40 in a week meaning that only a few of the, perhaps more-nervous, heads & speculators
are watching/considering it, and/or are maybe just gambling a few early
bids in case it takes off etc...
either way, gold has warmed slightly huh... rising as opposed to falling
or sitting still?
and all one can really say/observe is that there's been a small move in
that direction...
Cause and effect is inescapable geometry.
The Americans are 30 trillion dollars in debt.
The Americans have a 75 year losing streak at war.
Sixty million Americans were decapitated in the womb.
The nuclear genocide of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is a debt.
Time is a mirage, feel the blast experience the American Experiment.
If the Americans are bored, go liberate China.

it was just a fart mr. puke

paying through the nose at the gas pump?
china ready to invade in taiwan?

coz am not sure you're really readin' all this quite right ya know, coz no matter WHO won that last election the payback for covid was ALWAYS gonna
be large AND painful AND worldwide!
so prices are rising everywhere! especially for fuel & energy!? (and ya
can't blame that on biden i mean, so you wanting to do so is somewhat
suspect itself about... you? - and that's true! you've defo got summat personal going-on with/over biden! and the fucker hasn't even done
anything yet??)
well, you can actually scratch that last part now heh, coz he's only just gone and poked RUSSIA (of all fuckin' people lol) right in the goddamn
eye??? damn! :D
i mean, at least trumpy-boy only fucked with north korea lol (obviously
just for the press-releases involved coz there was never any real danger there...) whereas biden's just removed the nuclear fuckin' football from
its bag, turned the fucker on, and bounced it a few times??? (fuck me lol,
am bored, let's have a little war with russia shall we?? whoo-hoo!)
i mean, what we gots to worry about NOW! is that biden apparently AIN'T
no... DOVE!?
far from it LOL !!!
besides, the stock market was doomed to fall anyway considering the damage covid's still creating and will likely continue to create for quite some
time (simple truth there is: we couldn't actually 'afford' another
lockdown here?? i.e., this wasn't about the boris having some kinda
magical 'insight' into omicron here, no siree! this was about screw the people and save the economy!!!) it's gonna be bad/austere for years! so
what you're saying/suggesting doesn't really make any sense?
what's next... so china's ready to invade taiwan you say? nah... they gots far bigger fish to fry with omicron currently to be doin' all that; one person gets covid in china and they lock down the whole goddamn city ffs, zero-tolerance towards covid etc etc... they ain't gonna be attacking/invading no one soon!
well that's your list dun then huh, was all just hot air? the only thing
left on it now being you yourself lol, and this 'bias' you say you don't have, but clearly do?
so c'mon then, and please answer me this time... what's biden ever done
