Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia next then? "Russian officials last night expressed 'outrage' at Estonia's treatment of its large ethnic Russian minority." http://www.news.com.au/world/russia...crimean-takeover/story-fndir2ev-1226859957676
^ Putin has an idea that he misses the USSR except Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia Even though they are pressuring Russian speaking people over there, have nazis veterans (SS troops) marching on streets, destroying soviet war monuments, etc. If they were not part of EU Putin would annex them before Crimea ... but now he may not and will not touch them (until he wants a war against NATO, which is highly improbable). Hey, it's obvious! I know about Lithuania as I have some friends there. After collapse of USSR all republics made those who lived there citizens of new countries. Except Lithuania. They denied Russian people citizenship and took their property (I have friend who lives there, has kind of green card but no citizenship) ... at the time RUssia was too weak to protect them and people were left for their own ... That's the history behind what these guys did to Russian people and why they are scared now ... They are feared they have to pay for what they've done. Another city in Ukraine - Kharkov ... they are screaming "Russia!" (Kharkov is a mainland Ukraine, mostly populated by Russians) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vewnP9yCH3c#t=350[/youtube]
meh posturing, wont have any affect if real did you see on the news the Russians have placed sanctions on America
again more BS There have been no sactions against RU companies they wont. Watch Russia will sell its goods and partner up with China, they dont need the USA, even the Indians ( who are a major buyer of Russian arms ) are backing the Ruskies. I hope they do and the US dollar collapse, and the USA economy collapses and they become a backwater has been. that would be 2nd only on my wish list to seeing the Russians turn the whole US into an ash cloud/.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-...illion-russians-ukraine-must-be-killed-nuclea 101 of "how to dig a hole for yourself or to be nuked" :lol: so, think, how US would look if they impose serious sanctions against Russia in support of such "smart" a.k.a fascist ukrainian leaders ... part of Ukraine with 8 mln russian people are going to be part of Russia, sooner or later ...
Sanctioned Russian Bank Shuts US Accounts To "Protect" Russian Clients http://www.zerohedge.com/print/486643 The sanctioned Russian bank - Bank Rossiya - is "taking measures to protect its Russian clients" from potentially unfair actions by US banks by shutting correspondence accounts in the US. potentially "beautiful unfair actions"
I didn't say it was GOING to happen or even LIKELY to happen but one can only hope. Just like winning the lottery and to VRS ............................. Still waiting.

Not just the Ukraine. Singapore: Gold edged lower on Wednesday as investors nervously awaited a policy statement by the U.S. Federal Reserve and fresh economic data, with political tensions in Ukraine failing to prompt heavy safe-haven bids. http://zeenews.india.com/business/b...wer-as-investors-await-fed-us-data_98600.html
Russian economy going down almost half a year ... Sanctions are bs as they are not affecting real businesses but people
there are no sanctions like CJ is trying to point out. Few people assets frozen overseas and one Russian bank has been cut out of Visa loop, Cant see that affecting economy too much; if its down its due to other reasons and not due to sanctions like article points out
Looks like Vlad is getting prepared. http://www.infowars.com/russia-orders-urgent-dispatch-of-military-medical-teams-to-ukraine-border/ and Ukraine having armoured drill exercises in capital Kiev seems to be showing that the unelected government is losing control. http://rt.com/news/155908-ukraine-drills-kiev-military/
US playing the major role in breaking apUkraine apart ... And they are doing great job accordingly P.S.I hope one day "democracy" comes to US too
