Russia And China Stand In Agreement On Ukraine - And That Is Very Bad News For The United States MIC

By Michael Snyder: So much for "isolating" Russia.  The Chinese government is publicly siding with Russia on the crisis in Ukraine, and that is very bad news for the United States MIC.  Not only does it mean that the U.S. is essentially powerless to do anything about the situation in Ukraine, it also means that Russia and China are starting to understand how much economic leverage that they really have.  Yes, the Obama administration can threaten to slap "sanctions" on Russia or threaten to kick Russia "out of the G8", but those actions would not actually hurt too much.  On the other hand, Russia and China hold approximately 25 percent of all foreign-owned U.S. debt, and if they started massively dumping U.S. debt it could rapidly create a nightmare scenario.  In addition, it is important to remember that Russia is the largest exporter of natural gas and the second largest exporter of oil in the world.  And China now imports more oil than anyone else on the planet does, including the United States.  If Russia and China got together and decided to kill the petrodollar, they could do it almost overnight.  So when it comes to Ukraine, it is definitely not the United States that has the leverage.

If China and the rest of the world abandoned Russia over Ukraine, that would be one thing.  But that is not happening at all.  In fact, China has chosen to publicly stand with Russia on this issue.

New Republic Endorses 'A Voice for Men', Valenti Explodes, and Yes, Women do Harass

Paul Elam: Emily Matchar of the New Republic recently did a piece on the Men's Human Rights Movement. She got enough wrong to piss off some MHRAs. She got enough right to piss off Jessica Valenti. So in the end, it certainly was not the worst piece ever done on the movement.

How the U.S. National Debt Affects YOU

For the first time in U.S. history, the national debt has risen past $17 trillion. That number is a bit hard to comprehend and means little to Americans when not applied to their everyday lives. So just how does the national debt affect consumers, and why should the average American care about how much the USA owes?

Killing for Equality

By Paul Elam: Last year in West Footscray, a smallish suburb just a stone’s throw outside Melbourne, Victoria Australia, Phillip Bracken pushed his common law wife, Helen Curtis, to the ground. As she lay helpless he took the rifle he was holding and put two rounds in her head.
The next two bullets punched into her abdomen. Finally he fired the fifth and last round, boring a hole through her wrist.
Last week, at the end of his murder trial, the verdict was delivered.
Not guilty.
It was not because the accusations against him were not proven. Bracken admitted to the acts, precisely as described above. He was acquitted on the grounds that his domestic partner, known in Australia as a defacto wife, had physically, emotionally and psychologically abused him during the relationship. That abuse rose to a level characterized in Australian law as “intimate terrorism.”
It was also brought out at trial that Curtis had made threats to murder Bracken’s father, which he feared she would follow through with.
The only charge that remains against him at this point is the possession of an unregistered weapon, for which he is out of jail under his own recognizance.
This story puts an interesting twist on recent news coverage of University of Ottawa law professor Elizabeth Sheehy, who has asserted in her new book, Defending battered Women on Trial, that women not only have the right, but the moral obligation to kill their abusers. She contends that women who kill under these alleged circumstances should not be charged or tried for murder.
