turnarounds kick in and crude stocks in the U.S. start to build again... it is
becoming increasingly evident that U.S. shale oil will be the marginal source
of supply, at least until 2020"

The sanctions, put in place by the U.S. and European Union in
2014 after Russia's annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine, were meant to
limit Russia's pursuit of new technology for extracting more crude oil and
natural gas.The measures specifically targeted deepwater drilling planned in
the Black Sea, Arctic operations and the use of fracking technology in Siberia.
(US-Exxon was affect by Trump)
The sanctions weren't specifically designed to curb current
Russian oil production, and they haven't. Output rose above 11 million barrels
a day last year, the highest level in decades.

obvious consequences of this new policy are problematic. Still, Emanuel

US- CHINA RIDDLES
Chinese Navy's Growing Power to Stretch Its Sea Legs Makes US Navy Nervous https://sputniknews.com/military/201707081055372263-chinese-navy-world-ocean-power/
Commenting
on the People's Liberation Army Navy's growing presence in the world's oceans,
Russian military observer Alexander Khrolenko notes that China's activities are
making it more and more difficult for the US to use its main military
advantage: its global naval hegemony.
On
Friday, as part of the joint US and Japanese exercises, two US Air
Force B-1B bombers flew over disputed airspace in the South China
Sea. A US Air Force statement said that the flight was intended
to demonstrate the "rights of freedom of navigation anywhere
international law allows." READ: US
Bombers Buzz South China Sea as Trump and Xi Prepare For G20 Meeting
The Chinese Foreign Ministry
denounced the flight, saying that China was "adamantly
opposed to acts that undermine China's sovereignty." Last
week, China accused the US of a similar violation of sovereignty and
international law after a US destroyer entered the waters around the
Xisha (Paracel) Islands. In that incident, the USS Stethem was met
by Chinese warships and fighter jets, which the Foreign Ministry said were
deployed "to warn off" the offending US vessel.
Following both incidents,
Chinese officials stressed that China was
monitoring the "relevant countries' military activities," and would take "resolute" measures to defend its
sovereignty and security.
Commenting on Friday's
incident in an analysis piece for RIA Novosti, military affairs
journalist Alexander Khrolenko suggested that both US behavior and the Chinese response were
"not accidental."
"The Chinese Navy is
exploring more the near and distant regions of the world's oceans,
and that means that it's time for Washington and the Pentagon, who
until recently confidently controlled almost all the important sea routes
and disparaged the Chinese Navy, to be nervous," Khrolenko wrote.
On Friday, China's first
aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, accompanied by three other Navy ships, arrived
in Hong Kong Harbor to participate in the 20th anniversary
celebrations of the transfer of the former British colony to the
People's Republic. Ahead of the anniversary, Chinese President Xi Jinping
warned that any attempts to separate Hong Kong from the
mainland China be absolutely unacceptable, adding that China would defend its
sovereignty over the territory by all necessary measures.
Friday's port visit,
Khrolenko noted, "could be viewed as a
continuation of Xi Jinping's thoughts, and as a projection
of naval power based on the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle. The
clean lines of a warship can convince others of the strength and
capabilities of the country better than words."
China launched its first domestically-built
Type 001A carrier in April 2017. A modernized design of the
Soviet-Russian Kuznetsov-class carrier, the Chinese carrier is 315 m long, 75 m
wide, displaces 70,000 tons, and has a cruising speed of 31 knots.
Liaoning's air group consists of 24 fighters. As for the Type 001A,
that carrier is expected to carry up to 36 Shenyang J-15 fighters.
China plans to put a third carrier into operation in the next
three years. Ultimately, China plans to create a total of six carrier
battle groups, along with a series of naval bases around the
globe.

RUSSIA- US RELATIONS
'A Convenient Excuse': US Making Up Reasons for Arms Control Deal Pullout https://sputniknews.com/world/201707081055372085-us-arms-control-deal-missiles/
Threats by US Congressmen to pull
out of a landmark 1987 arms control treaty which prevents the proliferation of
certain types of missiles are just an excuse to deploy missiles in the Middle
East and Asia, Retired Russian Major-General Pavel Zolotaryov said.
Retired
Russian Major-General Pavel Zolotaryov, member
of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, told RTthat US threats to pull out of the treaty
coincide with Washington's attempts to build up military might
in the Middle East and Asia.
"American
carrier battle groups are vulnerable to China, which has medium- and short-range missiles. I think that the
Americans are thinking of placing illegal land-based missiles
on Japanese islands. In addition, the deployment of missiles
in the Middle East will 'hold back' Iran."
The US
wants to pull out of the treaty but it needs an excuse
to do so, Zolotaryov said.
"Such a decision has not been taken at the official level. As
a result there are legislative proposals whose intellectual level leave
something to be desired. The accusations against Russia are a
convenient excuse for terminating the agreement."
"I very much doubt that
Moscow could have violated the INF Treaty. The Americans' lack
of specifics in their accusations only reinforces my confidence. At
the same time, as I understand, the US itself plans to develop
Pershing III – an improved version of the ballistic missile which stood
at our borders," Zolotaryov warned.

ON US-SYRIA-RU DEAL
For RU pragmatism is OK (process define final result) as
long they’ve clear Strat & control de-agenda
Realpolitik: Why Russia, US Have Chance to Reach Common Ground on Syria https://sputniknews.com/politics/201707081055371117-putin-trump-syria/
Although
the Obama administration did whatever it took to spoil US-Russian relations,
there is still a chance for Moscow and Washington to reach compromise on Syria,
Russian academic Mikhail Roshchin told Radio
Sputnik. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled that Washington
has become more pragmatic in regard to Syria.
Interestingly, on July 5 US
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson issued a statement on the current
situation in Syria, adding that this topic would be raised during the
Trump-Putin meeting.
"The United States and
Russia certainly have unresolved differences on a number of issues,
but we have the potential to appropriately coordinate in Syria
in order to produce stability and serve our mutual security
interests," the statement said.
Following his talks
with Donald Trump, Russian President Putin said that the position
of the United States on Syria had
become more pragmatic.
"As for Syria, we
discussed this issue with all my interlocutors. Has the position of the
United States changed or has not? I think it has become more pragmatic. Overall
it has not changed, but there is understanding that by joining our
efforts we can achieve many things," Putin said
Saturday at the final press conference of the G20 summit in the
German city of Hamburg.
…
…
[ In short: We can’t say
Tillerson-Trump are working for RU by saluting pragmatism. The FACT is: we are
in a process toward multi-polar system. The old foreign
policy relation doesn’t wk anymore, it poses the risk of WW3 by accident &
we all lose. If we continue allowing K accumulation in few hands, the
risk of Econ crisis & Social Rev will come & we all lose too. We need to stop negative freedoms to the rich. We need to
correct our neoliberal system by re-adapting the Glass Steagal Act from FDR. The
mix of Cap & Socialism (state in charge of best Educ & health for all
++) is the only way to do it. It is clear that Germ, RU
& China + Iran.., are more close to such objective, than we are. The
fact is that big Corp like BP are joining the RU-Ch project and there will be
others too. In a highway with 5 to 10 roads, the US can
compete & succeed in many areas, but not if we don’t clean the swamp &
kill the parasites, starting with cutting the waste in arms & wars, and the
Obama support to Pharma-monsters like Pfizer & huge Corp owning hospitals or
other who converted health into profitable business. The same in free
Educ for all, we need the create in the mind of our kids a love for peace, coop
& free mind, not to install in their minds stupid
medieval dogmas inside schools. We need a clear separation between State n
Church; we need to trash all the pro-war toys. This is a process, of course, and process is a realm of pragmatism. We
can make one step back to get 10 forward. That is the
positive logic of pragmatism. We have the masters of new technologies, a huge
human capital, so we can do it. In a MULTI-POLAR SYSTEM WE CAN WIN. By selling weapons & promoting wars we are
wasting life, money & time. We need a project to
get out of this system, and right leaders. We need to abandon the
duo-party system in politics and assign proportional
representation to power.. to all those
org that got at least 5% of total electorate in their city and state. We
need to severely punish fraud and the buying elections.
We need to clean the press and avoid them run elections. We need to talk
now on dismantling nukes, on de-nuclearizing the world, then we can share
leadership in a multi-polar system. ]

Flash points on US
politics: internal contradict.. Hugh Smith good articles reproduced
Posted on July 7, 2017 by Charles
Hugh Smith
History informs us that once
something is obsolete, it can disappear far faster than anyone expected. While we generally think of obsoleted
technologies vanishing, social and political systems can become obsolete as
well.
Should a poor soul who entered a
deep coma a year ago awaken today, we must forgive his/her astonishment at the
political wreckage left by the 2016 election. The Democratic Party, a mere year ago an absurdly over-funded
machine confident in an easy victory in the presidential race, is now a
complete shambles: its leadership in free-fall, its Fat-Cat donors disgusted,
and its demented intoxication with pinning collaboration with Russia on the
Trump camp eroding whatever feeble legacy legitimacy it still holds. What the
party stands for is a mystery, as its Elites are clearly beholden to insiders,
special interests and Corporate donors while glorifying the worst excesses of
globalism and the National Security State’s endless war on civil liberties.
The newly awakened citizen would
also marvel at the chaotic war zone of the Republican Party, in
which the Insider Warlords are battling insurgent Outsiders, while the same
Elites that fund the Democratic machine are wondering what they’re buying with
their millions of dollars in contributions, for it’s unclear what the
Republican Party stands for: it’s for Small Government, except when it’s for
Bigger Government, which is 95% of the time; it’s for more law enforcement and
the militarization of local police, and more intrusion into the lives of the
citizenry; it’s for stricter standards for welfare, except for Corporate
Welfare; it’s for tax reform, except the thousands of pages of give-aways,
loopholes and tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations all remain untouched,
and so on: a smelly tangle of special interests masked by a few sprays of PR
air freshener to the millions left behind by the globalization that has so
enriched Corporate America and the class of financier-owners, bankers, insiders
and technocrats–the same group that funds and controls both political parties.

Donald Trump dice que el mayor
problema en la vida de Ivanka es él
Si
Ivanka es su esposa, a todos los maridos nos pasa lo mismo. Nunca me intereso
la vida personal de Trump .. pero .. vi una dama muda que siempre lo acompaña; alguien dijo que ella es lo
que más le gusta de T. Para mi T es un ser humano, y somos parte de una
comunidad virtual, eso tenemos en común.. y aqui va mi opinión:
Cuando mi esposa estuvo de mal humor, no le dije una palabra. Cuando vino a mi camita le
pregunte: Por qué me trataste asi? Y a quien voy a acusar si no es a mi marido
.. total, para algo deben servir los maridos, no?. .. Nos miramos, ambos reímos y celebramos
esa respuesta ingeniosa y muy cierta, y luego cada quien a su camita. Asi vivimos 34 años a todo dar, ahora vivimos
lejos y nos comunicamos con amor, solo si ella está de buen humor. C’est la vie .. C’est l’amour . Así es la
vida, así es el amor. Que le vamos a hacer .. sólo vivirla y sonreírle.
