{quote} "i would definitely chose (choose) russia over usa" Not much choice on offer there. Putin's political opponents either die, suffer lingering affects from poison, or get imprisoned. Sometimes all three, in reverse order.
russia stood for the right causes and minorities in middle east where as usa grew the cancer and the occupation.
yes both have economic goals but russia is much more eithical than usa in my eyes and based on experienced of my lifetime
thank you very much

You suppose that Assad is "right cause". Hmm.
And for what Motherland, RF of Syria?
I am not asking what is "much more ethical".

{quote} You suppose that Assad is "right cause". Hmm. And for what Motherland, RF of Syria? I am not asking what is "much more ethical".
no, looking at the big picture
assad is fighting terrorists, assad is currently protecting christians and minorities.
remembering what assad did when america was backing him up in lebanon against minorities, now assad is protecting these minorities.
is assad good? no, but for sure much better than the terrorists backedup by america, israel, saudi and turkey.

is russia a saint? no, but much better than the devil on the opposite side
its very easy to invent names that ring in the western ears like alqueida, isis, names that change every 10 years but have the same origin and same creator. we create a monster and we use decaded nations (ksa and other decaded middle age kingdoms to do our wars against our enemies that we now tag as terrorists just for the fun of it (iran and co) because we and our allies (israel) failed to win a single war against our enemies (hizbolla) in 2000 and 2006.
the fun part is, if we tag anyone as terrorist and brain storm the media with all kind of bullshit, our people living in planet america and other religiously blinded sunni wahabis will believe these lies...

you cant live in australia or on planet america and pretend to know what people in this region of conflict have to go through because of these foreign politics
its like watching a movie and having your emotions decide.
we lived it, we felt it, we know it and our lives are affected by all this.

i think if 1.1298 is taken, then next resistance will be at 1.1437 then 1.1713
otherwise back to 1.085 then 1.070 then 1.051x

my view:

ST soft sell - MT neutral: via FED/ECB i'm fading the exhaustion legs.

still don't understand the complete interaction with ECB (if the end of QE will be confirmed).

i also bought Yen vs Eur for the same reason and NK-DJT.

After Draghi's remarks today, any big decision/statement at the June meeting seems less likely imo

http://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/key/d...170529.en.html

"Despite a firmer recovery, and looking through the volatile readings in HICP inflation over recent months, underlying inflation pressures have remained subdued. Domestic cost pressures, notably from wages, are still insufficient to support a durable and self-sustaining convergence of inflation toward our medium-term objective. For domestic price pressures to strengthen, we still need very accommodative financing conditions, which are themselves dependent on a fairly substantial amount of monetary accommodation."

"At its June monetary policy meeting the Governing Council will receive an update of the staff projections and a more complete information set on which it will be able to formulate its judgement on the distribution of risks around the most likely outlook for growth and inflation. Overall, we remain firmly convinced that an extraordinary amount of monetary policy support, including through our forward guidance, is still necessary for the present level of underutilised resources to be re-absorbed and for inflation to return to and durably stabilise around levels close to 2% within a meaningful medium-term horizon."

EU is struggling to break the extension leg. While US is printing good numbers AND the June hikes seem to be a done deal AND RMT sim in play, it is likely that it moves back to ST flip before next direction is taken. It could bounce back at flip to extension in both direction IMO.

Political risk in Europe seems after the FR election less of an issue. However, G7 is becoming more a G0 with no or unclear leadership from the US (America first) and EU not picking up the ball what to do next without the US. Trading wise, a new growing risk in Europe if politicians are not able to fill that gap, with an upcoming political divorce (brexit), noise from Turkey and the US ignoring being part of a bigger picture together with EU

Not happy to read this. But it is how it is. http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutsc...a-1149588.html ( Google translate takes it to english ) I read from this that Merkel has given up that it will come anything constructive for the world from the US with DT as President.

This one is a good read to http://www.spiegel.de/politik/auslan...a-1149520.html

Unsure times ahead.

I like Macron. The way he treated DT was hilarious. Stereotype French cockiness. Just what trump deserved. The reciprocated handshake, squeezing the bully's hand, made a great point, and one I'm sure DT will not forget soon. France was America's strongest ally in the American Revolution, so the alliance dates from the time of the foundation of the United States. Typical of Trump, he tried to bully the representative of our longest standing ally from first meeting. It's good to see Macron resisting both of these international bullies.
