Is the Monroe Doctrine dead here in The America's, Is China and Russia challenging the petrol dollar? Will president Trump invade just like Putin did in Crimea to protect its interest in the sphere of past influences? Will have to see for it's heating up over there and soon something is going to give and the repercussions could be immense. Is The fourth navy fleet on alert yet? https://news.usni.org/2019/04/01/usni-news-fleet-marine-tracker-april-1-2019 Looks like we have three carriers in the southern Atlantic right now!

Then the Russians arrived and began supporting the socialist leader that the US wants to oust, Nicolas Maduro. And now a team from the largest standing army in the world, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, have, according to Al-Masdar News, been deployed to a crisis that's becoming more and more dangerous. What this means is that three major nuclear-weapon countries are converging on Venezuela.

    Yes, they are converging, but not to go to war. That would be silly.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    All depends on the Central Banks Funny money shuffle with OTC derivatives & global foreign exchanges. War is always the scapegoat to present to the public for a reset in the banking system. The German Deutsch Bank is another problem for the money lenders also.

    The Bank of England has warned of a possible financial crunch in the derivatives markets in the event of a hard Brexit.
    The central bank believes that up to ?29 trillion ($38 trillion) of uncleared over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts could effectively cease to function.

    China wants their payments as promised. In the form of oil. Russia is just being Russia causing headaches. Maduro is on the way out, walking if he chooses right carried out if he does not see the light soon.

    A hard exit from Brexit just might be the last straw that broke the Camel's Back.Ownership of the land with resources is 99% of the game now. Funny fiat currency will/could be devalued across the board either with inflation or realignment schemes in the chaos.A ripple effect can grow exponentially but they fail to address that.

    BOE sets up facility to buffer banks in event of chaotic Brexit ..... is equipped to survive a worst-case scenario, the Bank of England warned on Tuesday, ... The new swap line is ?a further prudent precaution? to ensure financial ... deals to ensure that a default on either side does not ripple through the market

    Yeah right!

    Various trade associations (FIA, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, the Alternative Investment Management Association, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe, Associazione Intermediari Mercati Finanziari - ASSOSIM, the European Banking Federation, the European Federation of Energy Traders, ICI Global, the Investment Association and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association?s Asset Management Group (the "Associations")) have written to the EC in order to set out their concerns with regard to the recognition of UK derivatives trading venues under EMIR and MiFIR in the event of a no-deal Brexit. The letter states: 'In particular, the Associations welcomed the Commission's adoption of temporary equivalence decisions with respect to UK central counterparties (CCPs) and central securities depositories and the measures to facilitate novations of derivatives transactions from UK to EU27 counterparties.' 'However, the Associations remain concerned about the disruptive impact on EU27 market participants and European derivatives markets if the Commission does not take urgent action with respect to the recognition of UK derivatives trading venues under EMIR and MiFIR in a 'no-deal' scenario, i.e., where the UK leaves the EU without concluding a withdrawal agreement providing for a transition period.' [?] 'There should be no obstacle to the Commission making a determination as to the equivalence of the UK's legal, supervisory and enforcement regime with respect to UK trading venues under EMIR and MiFIR. Under the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, the regulatory requirements currently applicable to UK trading venues will continue to apply after the UK leaves the EU in a 'no-deal' scenario, with necessary modifications to reflect the UK's status outside the EU. 'Therefore, we urge the Commission to prepare the necessary implementing acts to recognise the equivalence of UK derivatives trading venues under Article 2a of EMIR and Article 28(4) of MiFIR with a view to those acts taking effect at or very shortly after the UK leaves the EU without concluding a withdrawal agreement providing for a transition period. If necessary, the Commission could consider a temporary or limited equivalence decision such as that made with respect to UK CCPs and central securities depositories.'
