U.S. Spent Nearly $100 Billion On Foreigners To Fight Terrorists

U.S. Spent Nearly $100 Billion On Foreigners To Fight Terrorists:

To combat Islamic militants the White House says threaten national interests, the U.S. has spent nearly $100 billion to arm and train foreign militaries across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, an analysis by Vocativ shows. And nearly all of them are reeling from setbacks that threaten to undermine what’s become a core component of American foreign policy in these regions. As a former military commander and United States ambassador in Afghanistan recently noted, “our track record at building security forces over the past 15 years is miserable.”

St. Louis Prepares For “Catastrophic Event” As Underground Fire Nears Nuclear Waste Cache

St. Louis Prepares For “Catastrophic Event” As Underground Fire Nears Nuclear Waste Cache:

Beneath the surface of a St. Louis-area landfill lurk two things that should never meet: a slow-burning fire and a cache of Cold War-era nuclear waste, separated by no more than 1,200 feet.

As AP reports,

Government officials have quietly adopted an emergency plan in case the smoldering embers ever reach the waste, a potentially “catastrophic event” that could send up a plume of radioactive smoke over a densely populated area near the city’s main airport.

How is Russia financing its war in Syria?

How is Russia financing its war in Syria?:

Russia has added a volatile new dimension to Syria’s four-year civil war after unleashing a wave of air strikes across the country.

Moscow has sent hundreds of troops, fighter jets, helicopter gunships, tanks, heavy artillery and other equipment, in response to a “request” by President Bashar al-Assad.

Assad’s regime has been teetering on the brink after a string of heavy losses to rebels and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and the arrival of Russian troops is an attempt to stem the tide.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has allocated $60bn from a secret fund to accelerate the military buildup despite the country’s struggling economy.

Search ends for survivors of hurricane-hit U.S. cargo ship:

The U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday ended its search for missing crew of the cargo ship El Faro that sank off the Bahamas last week after sailing into the path of Hurricane Joaquin.

An exhaustive air and sea search for possible survivors was called off at sunset, six days after communication was lost with the ship and the 33 people aboard, the Coast Guard said.

Marc Faber Fears Sudden 1987-Like Crash Or Longer-Term “Sliding Slope Of Hope”

Marc Faber Fears Sudden 1987-Like Crash Or Longer-Term “Sliding Slope Of Hope”:

Sometimes less is more (less good data is moar good for stocks) and in the case of Marc Faber’s recent appearance on Bloomberg’s “What’d You Miss”, 66 seconds of honesty was all that the hosts could take.

The Gloom, Boom & Doom report editor notes “we have had a meaningful decline in many stocks already,” and warns it is far from over as market face two possibilities of “longer-term unattractiveness”: “a 1987-style collapse,” or a 1973-74-style slow “sliding slope of hope.”

Caught On Tape: Russian Warships Launch 26 Cruise Missiles At ISIS Targets

RussiaStrikes

Caught On Tape: Russian Warships Launch 26 Cruise Missiles At ISIS Targets:

On Monday evening, we detailed the Russian hardware being used in Moscow’s campaign to rout anti-regime forces and restore the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

As we noted in our preface to that feature, “watching Russia effectively humiliate the West by bragging day in and day out is nothing if it’s not amusing, and indeed the leaked diplomatic cable from 2006 which outlines Washington’s intent to effectively start a civil war in Syria leaves one completely uninclined to be at all sympathetic to the ridiculous situation the US and its allies have found themselves in.”

That, along with the fact that Western nations like France are not only unwiling to admit that the West’s participation in Syria has been an outright disaster, but are now set to “correct” a refugee crisis by bombing the very place from which the refugees are fleeing leaves us inclined to highlight the following video (out today from the Russian Defense Ministry) that shows what happens when a military superpower decides that because an existing aerial campaign has become akin to shooting fish in a barrel, it might be time to do some sea-based target practice on a few Nike-wearing, black flag-waving jihadists…

Russian Warships Launch Missile Attack On Syrian Targets, Clearing Way For Iran Ground Invasion

Russian Warships Launch Missile Attack On Syrian Targets, Clearing Way For Iran Ground Invasion:

In case it wasn’t clear enough what was set to happen soon after the Russian air force had spent a few days softening up anti-regime positions on the ground, allow us to spell it out: with the opposition on the run thanks to five days of aerial bombardment, Iran will now send in the Hezbollah/Shiite militia/Quds clean up crew, who will personally ensure that whoever is left in the wake of the Su-34 strikes is swiftly eliminated at close range.

You see, this is how you conduct an actual war and you needn’t be a West Point graduate to understand it. Russia has essentially debilitated Assad’s opposition from the air and now, Iran will (both figuratively and literally in all likelihood), simply walk up and execute anyone who’s left and that, as they say, will be that. Of course Damascus will get to claim that the SAA emerged victorious with the help of Russian air support, but in reality, there is no SAA. Just as we said weeks ago, the ground campaign is being orchestrated from Damascus by Quds commander Qasem Soleimani.

The Next Lehman Has Arrived: Shocking $100 Billion In Glencore Debt

As A Shocking $100 Billion In Glencore Debt Emerges, The Next Lehman Has Arrived:

And now the real shocker: there is over US$100bn in gross financial exposure to Glencore. From BofA:We estimate the financial system’s exposure to Glencore at over US$100bn, and believe a significant majority is unsecured. The group’s strong reputation meant that the buildup of these exposures went largely without comment. However, the recent widening in GLEN debt spreads indicates the exposure is now coming into investor focus.”

Q3 Earnings Bloodbath Continues With Terrible Monsanto Results: Company Fires 2,600 As It Boosts Buyback

Q3 Earnings Bloodbath Continues With Terrible Monsanto Results: Company Fires 2,600 As It Boosts Buyback:

It had been quite a downcast start to the third quarter earnings season following very disappointing earnings from Illumina, Adobe and Yum Brand. Then Moments ago agri-giant Monsanto made it four out of four when it reported absolutely terrible results, cut guidance, but at least announced a new $3 billion stock buyback, one that will soak up all the company’s net cash flow. The cost of all of this: some 2,600 worker terminations.

Venezuela isn’t looking too hot

Venezuela isn’t looking too hot: 

If anarcho-capitalists should move to Somalia, then socialists – especially, “social democrats” — should move to Venezuela. The country is a complete disaster. But don’t take my word for it, read what a Caracas homemaker said after she tried to buy three cans of sardines and was ordered to put one back due to food rationing: “This is a disaster.”

Food shortages, rising prices, inflation, corrupted incentives, and rampant crime are all symptoms of a primordial problem: socialism. Just because the Socialist Party was democratically elected does not mean that the economic calculation problem has been solved. It’s as if the gods needed one more example to shove down the throats of Western leftists. Economic chaos, food rationing and a complete break down of the social order aren’t lessons of a misguided dictatorship of the proletariat, but a fundamental reality of socialism, whether democratic or not.

Total Collapse In Interest For Oil Assets: Brazil Oil Auction Is Near Complete Failure

Total Collapse In Interest For Oil Assets: Brazil Oil Auction Is Near Complete Failure:

Brazil, which is caught in a vicious recessionary spiral which is only set to get much worse before it gets better, tried to obtain some much needed cash when earlier today it conducted an auction to sell exploration rights for of its oil and gas. It was, in short,  a disaster. According to Reuters, by midday Brazil had only sold 17 of 119 blocks offered. A total of 36 companies from 17 countries – including Petrobras, ExxonMobil Corp, BP Plc and Royal Dutch Shell Plc – registered for the auction. None of the majors have bid so far. Only a handful of sold blocks were even contested.

F-35 deathtrap: Pentagon jet’s ejection seat could snap pilot’s neck

F-35 deathtrap: Pentagon jet’s ejection seat could snap pilot’s neck:

Tests on the Pentagon’s troubled F-35 fighter jet have exposed a potentially life-threatening blunder as its ejection seat could snap a slender pilot’s neck when attempting to save his life, Defense News reports, citing a source close to the program.

Ejection tests performed in slow flying speed mode in August revealed that the pilot’s US16E seat constructed by contractor Martin-Baker has an excessive forward rotating momentum, which – combined with the force of the ejected seat shot out of the aircraft – snapped a lightweight dummy’s neck.

The Politics of Lyme Disease

FYI.


The Politics of Lyme Disease:

There’s a renewed push in the U.S. Congress for legislation to strengthen the federal government’s activities on Lyme disease, now endemic in most of the United States.

Whether the drive can withstand pressure from the health insurance industry—which denies the existence of chronic Lyme disease and so avoids paying for it treatment—is an issue.

H/t reader squodgy:

“Yes, the Saudis & israel (sic) do indeed look like confused, hapless, aimless bullies. America is desperately issuing disinfo to try to muddy the waters as its people (at least those not following the Kardassions or ‘Thrones’….yes all 125 of them) start to put 2 and 2 together and realise how dishonest and ruthless their jew owned government is.”

I prefer the term Zionist owned government (instead of Jew owned government).
