Does anybody know any good educated articles on USA and its geopolitics?
 

Articles about USA from good sources like the economist, just look at where it is going in the future etc and what its economy is like and will be and its relations with other countries.

Anybody read any good ones recently they want to share?

Thanks

GFY is the wrong place for that lmao. You will get a bunch of washed up Bush & Israel sympathizers. ICQ me I've got a few articles for you.

haha i would have thought not, there are loads of political discussions, it seems as though noone can cite there facts from anywhere, they simply pluck them from cnn, well daddyfagbucks anyway.

Ignore any posts from the retard twins and self proclaimed experts like DirectFiesta/Webby(Greywolf).

Two unaccomplished losers and foreigners who have made a career parroting anti-american articles from equally clueless, unidentified, leftist websites.

That you would understand? No.

your 44 and you spam ref codes, you expect me to take you seriously?

On the economic aspect - google for "Robert Schiller" or "Robert J Schiller" Scotty. The correct Schiller is a Yale professor and has written a number of books on the US economy - the last, or near last, was titled "Irrational Exuberance".

Schiller has a fair number of articles on the net - here's his graph covering the current home finance problem:

PS Ignore the flagface bs - they never have anything to offer on any topic - too dumb :winkwink:

Here's a few more recent comments - both from Schiller and a number of other people...

Foreclosures and Financial Ruin: How Bad Will It Get?

There is also a nice article in Barron's mag earlier this year (tried to find it but no luck so far) - it was titled "House of Cards". Basically their report was saying that the current ploy is avoid any ripples, keep a positive perception and show enthusiasm publically to "keep the good times rolling". In fact, at around May 2007, their stats showed that almost 50% of folks with ARM's (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) were already into negative equity on their homes and, financially, this totalled $1.4trill of deficit. Since then, and most likely during 2008, this deficit will increase, so basically talking about serious money and a fair degree of hardship for many people. This is obviously hitting back on banks/financiers and likely to see more substantial write-off's. So far there have been approx $800billion in foreclosures and fairly reasonable to assume the current suggestions that another $1trill may be wiped next year. (Some courts are backlogged in processing foreclosuring proceedings.)

The credit crunch has already started and folks who wanted to get out of ARM's are going to find that harder. It's ironic that the same predatory banks who financed the sub-prime market are the same people less willing to extend funds for remortgages and allow an escape route.

At the same time, the UK is likely to have a touch of sub-prime impact there. A few banks have been playing the sub-prime game and the effects will show more during 2008, but nothing like the hit on the US.

Never trust banks or "financial advisors" and avoid credit card companies - "leeching" would be an understatement :winkwink:
