Putin is going after the Jews
Putin has militarily invaded Ukraine
Putin planned this long before it happened
boncho
While attention initially focused on Russia's direct economic and business interests in Ukraine, it is now shifting towards the broader question of Russia's economic ties with the West and how disrupting them threatens to derail a struggling economy that is already near stagnation.
The world cannot sanction Russia, Russia is the key holder to European energy. I
agit8dchop - Putin is going after the Jews
DJW001 - One of his supporters on this thread seems to hope so.
agit8dchop - Putin has militarily invaded Ukraine
DJW001 - What do you call it when your troops seize public buildings and set up armed checkpoints on roads?
agit8dchop - Putin planned this long before it happened
DJW001 - That was intended as a compliment!

The United States can supply Europe's energy more cheaply. Obama will use the sanctions against Russia as an excuse for finally clearing the Keystone Pipeline.
Don't take it personally, your just one nut in a large mixed bag of nuts at the moment that want to put a historical label on a situation that has never occurred before. This isn't an invasion, Russia and Putin haven't ''lost'' and we aren't at war.
At lot of diplomatic talk needs to occur but in the end Ukraine is going to have to accept that the Crimea is now Russian territory that Ukraine is allowed to use, enjoy and participate in - however it no longer takes orders from Kiev considering there is no government in Kiev to take orders from.
not tomorrow it cant, its Winter in Europe now.
Like it or lump it, Russia is in control of this situation and I'm glad they are because America has proven unable to handle these kinds of situations properly.

Don't take this wrong, but this has happened before. It is exactly what Hitler did in the Sudetenland. You will just have to get used to Putin being compared to Hitler. The historical parallel is exact.

You honestly believe what Putin is doing right now is comparable to what Hitler did in the 30's?
Thats your gods honest assessment?
Economic ties with the west?
I think Putin summed it up nicely.
The world and the economics of the world are intertwined. Nations depend on each other.
Sanctions against Russia have consequences on the countries dishing out sanctions.
Its the same for any country, its not just Russia. This is more western bs.
If you sanction America, you hurt the world & America economically.
If you sanction Russia, you hurt the world and Russia economically.

Have to laugh at you, seen you on other threads about another country doing the same exact thing and saying it is ok but Russia doing it is bad,how do you get to that kind of reasoning?

Yes they are, but there are sides and sorry to say Russia is not on the stronger side.
Direct war with Russia would force the BRIC nations to make a choice. Since China holds so much debt they wouldn't be seeing it repaid anytime soon. Russia would be hurt the most if international investors pull out their assets and lending in fear of instability.

What't w/the cut/paste? Use your own brain and you might realize (doubt it tho) that Putin is the master - he's a genius and obama is an absolute dunce, Putin will NEVER bow to the Zionist Jews and the IMf...he's his own man as well as being the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD!!!
Putin has already won without firing a shot.edit on 4-3-2014 by Humiliatas because: (no reason given)
Yep... the Russians are getting ready to go after the Jews again. Cossacks!
Hardly .....Putin has never allowed the jews to take control in the first place. The Zionist's are not allowed any power whatsoever under the Putin regime and their destructive fag agenda has no place there. Praise God for leaders such as V Putin.edit on 4-3-2014 by Humiliatas because: (no reason given)
Thank you for your brutal honesty. When you come back under a new name, please try to observe the T&C.
very true, but to destroy ''russia's side'' will ultimately deal a fatal blow to the western economy.
the west may be stronger, but they are just as vulnerable in the right spots as russia is and Russia knows where those weak spots are.
if it got ''that far'' investments and finances wont matter because all concept of international trade/money/relationships will be long gone. thats a apocalyptic scenario that I dont think anyone would let happen, unless they were hell bent on world war.
Putin is a communications genius.

Putin is a communications genius.
Then why can't he get his story straight? Are those Russian troops or Crimean troops? Is Crimea independent or not?
