Lavrov says the West is playing with fire over Ukraine
Russia is clarifying its nuclear doctrine, Lavrov says
Lavrov talks about the dangers of World War Three
Spy chief: we don't believe the West over Kursk
MOSCOW, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.
Ukraine attacked Russia's western Kursk region on Aug. 6 and has carved out a slice of territory in the biggest foreign attack on Russia since World War Two. President Vladimir Putin said there would be a worthy response from Russia to the attack.
Sergei Lavrov, who has served as Putin's foreign minister for more than 20 years, said that the West was seeking to escalate the Ukraine war and was "asking for trouble" by considering Ukrainian requests to loosen curbs on using foreign-supplied weapons.
Since invading Ukraine in 2022, Putin has repeatedly warned of the risk of a much broader war involving the world's biggest nuclear powers, though he has said Russia does not want a conflict with the U.S.-led NATO alliance.

"We are now confirming once again that playing with fire - and they are like small children playing with matches - is a very dangerous thing for grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one or another Western country," Lavrov told reporters in Moscow.
"Americans unequivocally associate conversations about Third World War as something that, God forbid, if it happens, will affect Europe exclusively," Lavrov said.

Lavrov added that Russia was "clarifying" its nuclear doctrine.
Russia's 2020 nuclear doctrine sets out when its president would consider using a nuclear weapon: broadly as a response to an attack using nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction or conventional weapons "when the very existence of the state is put under threat".

LBHI's Leadership will not bark about the future of this bankruptcy:
Years ago, I delivered about fifteen tons of top soil to a customer's home. When I got out of my dump truck, a dog bite me on the back of my leg. The dog never barked at me. When they do not bark, they will bite. The other day, I was in the woods checking on my horses, the neighbors' dog jumped and started barking at me. Me and the dog slowly retreated.
We do not have a clue about LBHI. PWC will bark and write a report. LBHI will not bark on an Appeal in Court.

Abstract
When it filed for bankruptcy protection in September 2008, Lehman Brothers was an active participant in the derivatives market and was party to 906,000 derivative transactions of all types under 6,120 ISDA Master Agreements with an estimated notional value of $35 trillion. The majority of Lehman’s derivatives were bilateral agreements not traded on an exchange but in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. Because derivatives enjoyed an exemption from the automatic stay provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, parties to Lehman’s derivatives could seek resolution and self-protection without the guidance and restraint of the bankruptcy court. The rush of counterparties to novate Lehman’s derivative contracts and the confusion following contracts that were terminated after its bankruptcy filing added to the stress of the financial crisis in two ways: (1) loss of value to the Lehman estate and (2) exacerbation of the contagion effects of the bankruptcy. This case explores the disposition of Lehman’s derivatives and its impacts.
