What may not be immediately obvious is that the Fed, which was at least putatively a member of the State Casino Commission, admittedly with connections to bankrolling key participants, is now sitting down at the table and playing.

Mixed feelings. Didn't see the original but I can't believe the Bessmeister had to rewrite it.

Entry: Q&A on WTF Is Going on with Russia And Georgia, Part I: Who Started It?

Perhaps a little more discussion about the US role in this would be appropriate. Cheney is involved directly and he rarely is unless it is consistent with his overall agenda.

This discussion barely scratches the surface. Its an old disagreement. Georgia just threw a roundhouse punch using the opening of the Olympics as cover.

Its inconceivable that Georgia undertook this action without informing the US, which is supplying military advisors and logistical support.

Really misses the whole point. Who cares who started it. The real question is why, and what is the endgame? A little personal enrichment on the way out, or something a little more profound?

Excellent observations. The deal is very odd to say the least and I'm surprised more have not noted it.

Seeing that naked short selling is 'illegal' its odd that the SEC bans it for 19 financial stocks, while it does little or nothing in legitimate cases of outrageously obvious naked short selling.

Our cynicism knows no bounds.

Perhaps Citi needs the coin to pay the fine for the charges of widespread theft of customer funds?
