Ukraine standoff intensifies, Russia says sanctions will 'boomerang'
reuters ^ | March 7, 2014 | BY STEVE GUTTERMAN AND ANDREW OSBORN

(Reuters) - Russia said any U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine will boomerang back on the United States and that Crimea has the right to self-determination as armed men tried to seize another Ukrainian military base on the peninsula.

In a telephone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned against "hasty and reckless steps" that could harm Russian-American relations, the foreign ministry said on Friday.

"Sanctions...would inevitably hit the United States like a boomerang," it added.

“All they have to do is confiscate our IP and facilities already there and sell them across the world as payment.”

Are you serious?

I can’t believe you posted that for discussion. Do you really think that the 50 IQ ChiComm apes control the world? What makes you think that the ChiComms can sell our Chinese assets? To whom?

The ChiComms exist at the pleasure of the NWO. If you think that the ChiComms are so tough, name the last battle that they won.

Are YOU serious? Who said squat about tough?

Is/are or is/are not most manufacturing based in China?
Because we no longer build a lot of what we consume...and where do component pats come from?

Is/are or is/are not our IP sitting in those factories? Because they sure can’t build anything without the plans to do it?

Is/are or is/are not America largely dependent on China for most of the goods now in our stores including things like food? Because there sure are a lot of things on the supermarket shelves imported from there as well.

Is/are or is/are not the chips and other computer tech built in china in our military hardware? Because FR has had lots of articles saying they are.

Is/are or is/are not China capable of disrupting the world financial market to get their money and screw us economically? Only a fool would deny the obvious and they have been doing it for a while now through currency manipulation and fake tungsten gold bars.

Is/are or is/are not China’s cyberwarefare actively engaged in espionage in all countries? Yup again.

So tell me again. Considering all the above is a set in stone fact one can look up anywhere on the net, including the CIA fact sheet, Where a physical attack is needed?

Now tell me if China turns off the tap and tells the rest of their trading partners to avoid America that they won’t get lots of cooperation.

Everything you wrote is what the Japanese claimed in the 1980s. The Japanese thought they had the US on the ropes and were an ascending world power.

How did that work out?

Don’t fall for the ChiComm propaganda. The ChiComms aren’t that smart. BTW, I do distinguish between the stupid ChiComm apes, who are morons, and the Chinese people, who are intelligent, fun and a joy to be with.

What part of what I wrote is documentably wrong. You want to claim I fell victim to propaganda? Them please show me where I was in error.

I’ll wait.

You calling them Apes is one thing. You proving my assertions are false is another. Should be easy enough right?

“What part of what I wrote is documentably wrong.”

You committed no fallacy other than believing that the Chinese could accomplish what the Japanese could not.

Carry on.

You cant. Got it. Facts are unimportant. Got it.

Glad we cleared that up.

It’s not about facts, Norm, it’s about the end game. Conclusions. That’s what this discussion is about. You forgot, didn’t you?

You forget that the endgame has nothing to do with Japan and what happened whenever. This is today. New people, new scenario, new ‘rules’ or lack of them.

We have Zero and the GOP, not Reagan or Bush. We have a lot of ill will directed at us, no respect for us and no fear of us.

Well Norm, I’m a citizen of the US and I think the people in Washington are a bunch of idiots.
