Russia Slams Barroso Over Leaked "Take Kiev In 2 Weeks" Comments, Revises Military Doctrine
As we discussed yesterday, Vladimir Putin's apparent 'threat' to EU's Barroso that "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks," prompted both anger and response as NATO reacted by stating a new "spearhead" force of 3-5,000 troops would be flown in to combat any (further) Russian aggression. However, Russia is not happy that the EC President leaked the conversation with Putin's aide Ushakov stating that recounting the private conversation was "inappropriate," "undiplomatic," and "unworthy of a serious political player." More troublingly, the cold-war-tension-like escalation from NATO has prompted Russia to revise its military doctrine to account for “changing military dangers and military threats.”
Vladimir Putin has boasted to European leaders that his forces could sweep into Kiev in two weeks if he wanted.
The Russian president reportedly made the threat to the European Commission president during talks on the Ukraine crisis.
Mr Putin told Jose Manuel Barroso: “If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks,” Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper reported, implying this could be the result if the EU stepped up sanctions against Russia.
His comments, relayed by Mr Barroso to colleagues at last weekend’s EU summit, emerged as Nato announced it would build a new “spearhead” rapid reaction force of up to 4,000 troops that can be flown into eastern Europe in 48 hours to respond to possible Russian aggression.
Which prompted 2 responses from Russia..
First, a diplomatic talking to...
Yuri V. Ushakov, an aide to Mr. Putin, said Mr. Barroso’s recounting of a private conversation was “inappropriate.”
“Whether these words were said or not, in my viewpoint, this quote given is taken out of context and it had absolutely different sense,” Mr. Ushakov said.
Disclosing details of conversation is undiplomatic, “unworthy of a serious political player”
And second, as The NY Times reports, a military one...
With NATO leaders expected to endorse a rapid-reaction force of 4,000 troops for Eastern Europe this week, a senior Russian military official said on Tuesday that Moscow would revise its military doctrine to account for “changing military dangers and military threats.”
In an interview with the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, the official, Mikhail Popov, deputy secretary of Russia’s military Security Council, called the expansion of NATO “one of the leading military dangers for the Russian Federation.”
Mr. Popov said Russia expected that leaders of NATO would seek to strengthen the alliance’s long-term military presence in Eastern Europe by establishing new military bases in the region and by deploying tanks in Estonia, a member of NATO that borders Russia.
“We believe that the defining factor in our relationship with NATO remains the unacceptability for Russia of plans to move military infrastructures of the alliance to our borders, including by means of expanding the bloc,” Mr. Popov said.

Furthermore, Russia appears set to release the Putin-Barroso conversation...
Russia ready to release audio recording of conversation between President Vladimir Putin and European Commission President Jose Barroso, Interfax cites Russian ambassador to European Union as saying.
Unless EU objects, Russia will distribute recording of phone talk to establish truth within 2 days, Vladimir Chizov says in letter to Barroso, Interfax reports
One can only wonder what Barroso said...

Putin 'boasted'?
no boast
Yes, the "spin" is absurd. Of course, it was never a boast; it was a reminder of the facts on the ground.
Putin was just being polite as usual.
Actually, he could turn Kiev into a glass parking lot in just under 2 minutes.
Wake me when the tape says, "If I want to, I can break nyeck like chyopstiick.
2 weeks ? Russia could take Kiev in 2 days if they wanted to.
This is an extraordinarily difficult time with the BRICS and rest-of-world moving back toward a more stable gold currency exchange system after the West has rigged gold and interest rates for a couple of decades creating worldwide bubbles and economic instability.
Forcing Russia out of SWIFT as proposed by David Cameron last Friday will de facto push Russia onto gold currency exchange just as Iran did in 2012/13 when excluded from SWIFT. At that time Iran traded oil for gold with India with India transferring Rupia to Turkey and Turkey then sending gold back to Iran. Obama did a u-turn on his policy to Iran in 2013 when his advisors figured out it had reignited petrogold.
Cameron's collapsing LBMA gold rig, the West''s monetary failure, and scandals such as exposure of Obama's ISIS creation result in both UK and US and now EU lackey Barroso baiting Russia into a conflict as a distraction when what we really need is monetary reform and bond market restructuring.
Putin should declare abrogation of all arms treaties and start producing new nukes as fast as possible. Call their bluff, target every European city possible and comment that if NATO wants Russia to commit suicide, Russia will make sure Europe, and the US, commit suicide also.
Like the alpha-male psychopaths of our past, the alpha-male psychopaths of the West only understand force.
nothing is going to happen if he does or doesn't take ukraine or if someone takes
control over iraq. all this ww3 talk is just that, talk. reason being everyone in
the west likes the dickheads in the middle east fighting and nobody gives a fuck
about the ukraine. all of this fucks china on the oil price and pushes putin into
being china's bitch, while we kick back and laugh as sauds charge what they
want, to china, for oil. because god knows china has to keep wasting the
earths finite resources on ghost cities, so their waaaay too many
people don't become unemployed and rise up for the heads of their current leaders.
Threat from Putin? This is no threat. This is a guarantee.
Nothing has changed. Posturing aside, all Putin really has to do is NOTHING: wait, and watch, and let the Zionazi psychopaths fuck themselves up. They are on a clock. and he knows it, and they know that he knows it, and they actually have the gall to project blame at HIM and hate HIM for it!
More urgently, when will the fate of MH17 be disclosed? They're so gung-ho to point the finger at Putin, when we have a mass murderer in our midst, and the gutless pansies are covering for him! WHEN IS SOMEBODY WITH A CONSCIENCE AND AN OUNCE OF INTEGRITY GOING TO STAND UP AND TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MURDER OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD ABOARD MH17?
The first cold week this fall will determine who has the hammer (and sickle).
You didn't understand the part about more NATO bases on Russia's doorstep?
Is it time for another Cuban Missile Crisis?
You are not paying attention. Don't be surprised when Kazakhstan and Bellorussia cue up to join NATO in 5-10 years time.
So, all smarmy blowhards here....how many of you speak (or have a cursory study of) Russian? Ukranian? or even German? Mandarin? Cantonese?
Marble-mouthed, bumblefuck "'Mericuns" couldn't begin to fathom any language where syllables, idoms and minor variations in pronunciation have multiple meanings....or like German, where 5 separate words have an entire different meaning when put together as a term with a "specific" meaning...
Such moronic bias of thinking that everyone else sees the world the way you do, or would scheme and backstab the way you would, surely will keep you here typing away the rest of your short lives...while others adapt...
I have family and friends in Kazakhstan and you my friend are wrong in the extreme.
2 weeks ? Russia could take Kiev in 2 days if they wanted to.
---
Correct; when he said 2 weeks, he was assuming NATO threw everything they had at him.
To take is not to hold. If Russia takes Kiev then all the problems become theirs to handle. Russia then looks like the bad guys and they would then have fifteen years of terrorism and internecine warfare to contend with.
You're right! WHy on earth would Putin or Russia want to take Kiev or any of Ukraine?
Yes, they can take it but holding it and servicing it requires mammoth resources in men, arms, food, gas, etc etc which they have to foot the bill.
It would be a HUGE mistake and they know it which is why Putin has no plans to put one pinky inside Ukraine.
The bigger question is will he find a few reasons to halt gas supplies to Poland and Slovakia and maybe a few other satellite NATO countries this winter?
I think so
Saying what he could do (stating the bleeding obvious), not what he would do. Now, if it turned it he was getting rid of unwanted foreign interlopers along the way...
Russia doesn't have to hold Kiev or any other city should they choose military action. A brief occupation and the public hanging of the Jews and foreigners responsible for shooting down the airliner and shelling of civilians then go home. Most Ukrainians would appreciate that gesture, at least the decent ones.
Correct, the overthrow of Kiev and Poroshenko, would be very easy as it is hanging by a thread anyhow, then the east could and would consolidate, which is all that is necessary. Kiev and the west could fight it out amongst themselves, and the EU/US could have at a rotting corpse.
it does not appear that Putin needs to take Kiev in two weeks... the kiev regime's military is collapsing rapidly:

The banker's MIC propaganda efforts are stupid and nauseating
Everyone is able to see by now what this is about and why the bankers are in their last phase of one final hoopla.
ISIS isn't real. There is no threat to bankers or anything related to the vermin. ISIS causing pain and suffering to poor people just shows how weak and controlled they are.
Just tactics to scare the world into submission and agreeing to unlimited resources to fight the threat.
That open letter to Merkel was a refreshing deviation from the status quo. I think this country is ripe for an overhaul and the beginning of trials to identify who the real worst enemies of America and the world are.
+1. Nauseating is a good word.
Bar-asshole is a two timing snake.
Nah - just a self serving parasitic cunt - one of the many who constitute the political make-up of Europe these days.
Russia has a huge nuclear stockpile but its military capabilities are very shitty.
Sorry Putin lovers but you are feeble-minded. Russia is not USSR. Russia existence is in America and China hands.
PS
There are very few Russian in Russia. As Putin said there are no such thing as Russians. Putin's own guards are from Chechnia. They are not Russians.
Putin is a stupid zionist puppet. Obama and his zionist masters are losing a war to a big mouse with very little brains.
but its military capabilities are very shitty.
Absolutely untrue. Any research into this subject will yield opposite facts.
Barry... Barry.. Get out from under the blanket now...
Can you hear me Barry?? Barry??? Come out now...
He didn't really mean it Barry..
He was only joking now...
So come out now and go play some golf..
Did you hear about the new OBAMA DIET?
Yeah, you just let Putin eat your lunch every day.
Shit.. I wish Vlad would take Ferguson, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Philly, LA.... in two weeks!
There might be 2 city's in that group still worth being on a target list.
Chicago, at the least the potholes might get fixed and the traffic lanes painted.
Nahhh... Maybe not Chicago cause those potholes will wreck the treads on a tank in no time.
But he will never take Texas.
Mexico already is. Texans care more about idiotic crap like football then their border.
You Texans are funny.
I wish your big attitudes were justified....

Hmm - but why does Tripoli need to be taken twice?

Hey! I think I finally got it! USA/EU/NATO BAD! RUSSIA/CHINA/IRAN GOOD!
Can't believe I didn't see it earlier!!
Your eyes needed to open eventually. Can't go through life willfully ignorant.
Dear Vladinir; don't have adult discussions with pompous fools; it never works out. The intelligent people in the world are on your side.
The intelligent people in the world...all 14 of them.
You would be surprised how many are waking up.
Not enough yet, but the number is growing.
Stupidity has become exponential while intelligence is rooted in an arithmetic function with a small slope.
Don't forget that Putin is an unapologetic statist.
To all my junkers, Putin has not been ambiguous when it comes to looking out for the Russian state. He is a statist. I sincerely hope that he foils US mechanizations and then stops there. But that doesn't mean that I trust him, I simply recognize that what we're doing is wrong, and that, at least regarding Ukraine, he has apparently been playing straight. Of course, playing straight against our clowns is the best thing he could possibly do, and we put him in that position.
The Putin worshipers are themselves either statists, hyper Anti Blue-Team, or morons. There's no Libertarian fantasyland in Russia future, that's for sure. And, when the Red Team is "re-elected" many of the Putin worshipers will switch sides and their self-generated bullshit will erase their past thoughts.
Dumb comment, as usual. Most of the Putin hate comes from the Red Team. They've had a hard on to fuck up Russia for 40 years.
Well said.
My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.
More like 2 days.(That's with NATO's fast response team)

“If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks,” So what? The US is just looking for any excuse to escalate this. Just saying you can do something is not a threat and doesn't mean you will.
Replace Barosso with Nigel Farage IMO
Replacing Borosso with an empty suit would be an improvement.

It's only bad if you have to eat.
The reason Chicken is up only 3% is there are A LOT of substitutes.

Two weeks to Brussels, with no stopover in Kiev..
Let freedom ring. All over this world. And for every sentient being.
this will be very interesting. I'm sure this EU bozo will be nailed.
Take Kiev in 2 weeks? Only if they were as incompetent as the Ukrainians... Please Russia, release the tape!
The conversation surely went like this- Putin says "We didn't invade Ukraine, if I wanted to invade I could conquerKiev in 2 weeks"
Lying panty waisted dickhead Barrosso says immediately Putin threatened to take Kiev in 2 weeks.
Sickening lying fuckfaced europussies
Come on Vlad, take your rightful place in thw NWO. We don't want this getting messy, just accept your roll and play nicely.
There was a time in my life...like 5 years ago...when I thought the world was run by a bunch of evil genius'. Today, I am very dissapointed. I realize the world, at least the west, is run by a bunch of entitled silver spoon fed morons.
Let me see if I can save you another 5 years. The whole world is run by morons.
All large powerful organizations are run by sociopaths. History is just the sociopaths battling it out for the title of "World's Biggest Dick" (WBD).
they are certainly evil. but as their plans are thwarted, they certainly look a lot less than genius....
All available evidence certainly suggests they are fucking up bigtime.
A bar fight seems to be where we are heading.Looks like chaos creates chaos,not order.
The surviving sociopaths are deemed "genius" by worshiping dumbasses.
How are their plans being thawarted? They are marching the world toward WWIII. Between bioweapons and nukes they'll reach their goal of 500 mil with the next decade or so.
The US is broke, overrrun, and ready to fall, and the Globalists plan to fill the vacuum.
All the worlds major religions are ready to destroy each other as planned.
I still see this going their way big time, short of guillotines.
"Between bioweapons and nukes they'll reach their goal of 500 mil with the next decade or so."
GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
I just did a little search, besides some clear pics, i got this cool link with plenty of well compiled info.
"The Georgia Guidestones are a huge stonehenge-like arrangement of granite slabs erected in the early 1980s for mysterious reasons; the persons who commissioned the stones are unknown. Carved into their sides are statements in several languages to be used, presumably, as societal directives in the context of some sort of post-apocalyptic future-a reboot disk for human civilization."
The First guideline of the Ten Commandment of Georgia Guidestones:
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
“Maintain humanity under 500 million”? Global population is already in the billions.
“Maintain??”
“Maintain humanity under 500 million”?
{just search for further reading :-))I think you mean entitled evil silver spoon fed morons.
Children and grandchildren of the evil geniuses.
They think they know how the game works because daddy explained it once but they were too busy sucking off goats at their coke orgy frat parties to understand the nuances.
That said they are more or less on program. Just late is all. And Putin maybe will run circles around them til he gets a polonium enema.

Mr Barroso is swine , and Putin seems like a general good guy to the Russian people , which go figure a president is suppose to do for the people that elected him , no doubt he has enriched himself in the process but he also restored Russia to its rightful place as a top country in the world and also brought up his people's standard of living considerably , meanwhile Obama shits on us Americans .
Ther is the difference. You can get rich while doing your job. Our fackers can't seem to figure that out. I am not rooting for the Rooskies but I sure envie them.
These european leaders are lying, warmongering assholes. Anyone with a brain knows that Putin was saying, "if we were actually invading, you'd know it."
This is probably the case. The US could take Juarez in a couple of weeks. If Obama made that statement, it wouldn't mean that it was going to happen, nor would it mean that it wouldn't happen. It would simply be a statement of military strength. I don't think that Russia actually wants to invade Ukraine, but that is not a reason to discount the possibility of it happening. Shit's unstable over there, and there's no telling what's going to happen. But if Russia does actually invade, we'll damned sure know about it.
>>>"if we were actually invading, you'd know it."
God, I love the subjunctive in the morning.
Sorry Putin, but I'm betting that it was Russia that released the "fuck-the-EU-lets-put-Yats-on-the-throne" phone conversation. While I'm glad it was released, should I be correct in who released it, bellyaching about the contents of a phonecall being released is hypocritical. If the conversation is not really that damning and the EU is playing dumb games by quoting things out of context, don't wait to see if there is an objection from the EU, but release the call. To quote Nuland, "Fuck the EU."
Russia seems to be complaining that the meaning of what Putin said was being distorted. See i_call_you_my_base post right above yours.
That's fine and I agree with the post above, but I'm saying that they shouldn't bellyache about it and just release the full contents of the call. Don't ask permission, just call the EU on its BS if the EU is engaged in BS. It's a nit that I'm picking and probably has no bearing on the grand scheme of the things, but if they're going to be bold, then they should be bold.
I'm sure the conversation went along the lines of, "Listen you pompous ass, we are not invading. If we wanted to invade, you would know it because we would roll a huge amount of equipment. So much that we could be in Kiev within two weeks. So stop with the stories."
Barroso is a CIA muppet who became prime minister of meaningless Portugal with the help of his handler Leon Panetta. He should not try to play the big boy and bring a knife to a gun fight. Also he is a corrupt politician who liked spending holidays on the yacht of a Greek shipping magnate before handing over to his host some European subsidies. He is a symbol of crony capitalism. I forgot to mention his son Barroso Jnr has just been appointed to the Bank of Portugal without even being interviewed. So Mr Barroso, please STFU.

my friends you are all poles now
lets roll
Poles started WW2. Why not go for a 3rd round?
He's being rhetorical, e.g. "If I'd wanted to take Kiev I could've done it in two weeks". Barroso has revealed himself as quite the little psychopath.
Putin takes Lisbon in 2 weeks, if he wants to. Barroso needs to calm down and learn how to read a map. Then he would think twice before making stupid statements like that.
So you are saying that the chess masters of the universe who happens to have one of the greatest military forces in the world could not take Kiev in 2 weeks?
President for life Putin knows without a doubt he could take Kiev in 2 weeks and he was not being rhetorical.
Then why is he a whining pussy that his girlfriend Barroso outed him about their nail painting session gabbing. Seems to me that a mastermind like Putin would know to STFU when speaking with the enemy. But I forgot, this is ZH -- Vlad is god. And a note to the EU, Barroso is a FUCKING SPY. Get rid of him.
So when old Vladdie is fucking with Pussy Riot, stomping on the Chechnyans or dissing gays he is a fascist pig -- when he invades a country just because he's going through a mid-life crisis, he's a mastermind, a mensch of the universe. ZH anti-war types are hard to guage. Must be the Adderol dosage. So war is bad when despicable POS from the West do it, but it's glorious when a Russian POS does it. Does that sum it up here?
The only thing Vladimir Putin has going for him is that his opponents are on the intellectual level of Barroso and Obama. A retarded hamster could beat them in a game of wits.
thinking once would already be an improvement :)
Mr Putin told Jose Manuel Barroso: “If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks...
And he should!... Go ahead Kiev keep pushing it harder and make his day!!!
I'd love nothing more than to see Brennan's "special ops" folks with their own dicks sticking out of their mouths and their small intestines in a ball resting on their knees... And we haven't even discussed what the "blue helmets" protecting Porko will look like???...

In Chechya war time, KGB colonel said "mochit v sortire" , regarding Chechen people. It means - beat ones brain out , catching him in toilet.

Biggest Bear in dog park.
He is (uh) a small "dog".

If europe wants to sacrifice itself on the alltar of US hegemony.
Carry on.
The Balts and Poland will be sorry for their warmongering, as the US will
doublecross them, just as it has everyone else,given time.
Time to jaw,jaw,Not war,war.
Russia is the biggest dog in the park.
You know, this park is not in Middle East, North America or Western Europe.
This park is in their fucking backyard, so of course they're the biggest dog.

I never thought I'd see the day of preferring a Russian Leader to the utter Clowns in EU/Brussels .
Yeah, it is kind of like rooting for the Bond villian. A bit disturbing.
Yeah, but Bond is played by a drooling retard, so it makes it easier to root for the villain.
Rule #1 in politics...no one will work with a liar.
Rule #2 once trust is lost it cannot be regained. Barrosso is toast. If he really broke a confidence he is now useless as a diplomat. Farrage will eat him alive the next time they face off. He should retire.
Wake up, his successor has already been chosen, Tusk.
You're wrong there. Tusk is van Rompuy's successor as President of the European Council. Barroso is the far more powerful President of the European Commission, and his successor is Jean-Claude Juncker.
Tusk's role will be essentially to moderate debates and discussions among the 28 members, but not to direct policy. A pretty toothless co-ordinator role, in other words. Juncker's role as President of the Commission will be far more significant, and this is why the British went all out to stop him getting the job, because unlike the old Marxist and fifth columnist Barroso, who has no doubt been serving his anyone-but-Europe masters, Juncker is firmly pro-European, and shares the original vision for post-war Europe laid out by the great Catholics Adenauer, De Gaspari and Schuman, a vision of Europe that did not anticipate its hijack by the entry of the British trojan horse in the 70s (much to the dismay of de Gaulle).
My reading of this sorry state of affairs in eastern Europe is that it is being brought to a head because once Juncker takes up his new position in November the EU traitors serving Anglo-America will have run out of time to sabotage the continent. I expect Juncker and the new EU foreign policy chief, pro-Russian Federica Mogherini to bring the rest of Europe to heel towards the end of the year and restore good relations with Russia.
I could be wrong about this but my instinct tells me the outright hostility shown by the British to the democratic election of Juncker comes down to one thing: their knowledge that at a crossroads in European history, Europe finally rejected the Anglo parasite destroying it from within and went with a man who will spend his 5- or possibly 10-year term consolidating Europe and strengthening European ties with Eurasia, to form the wealthiest and most powerful trading bloc in history while the parasites slump to the ground, badly defeated.
Methinks a few nukes were retargeted after Barrosos' Blunder.
FU EU.
Re Putin "Take Kiev In 2 Weeks"
Cue "Sorority of Screeching Valkyries": Victoria/Jen/Samantha/Hillarhoid faux Hissy-Fit Alert
"Nato announced it would build a new “spearhead” rapid reaction force of up to 4,000 troops that can be flown into eastern Europe in 48 hours to respond to possible Russian aggression."
48 hrs? too late.
Putin now knows - the best NATO can do. ROTFLMAO
Lets be honest . . . here and cut the BS, it would surely take him LESS than two weeks.
One of the reasons that Putin is admired and respected throughout the world is his habit of under-promising and over-delivering.
While defining objectives, allocating resources, task organizing with timelines, identifying critical paths and milestones are intrinsic to all plans and used as a performance baseline (excepting those implemented by the US Government, et. al. - as corporate welfare, crony handouts, political donation kickbacks, etc...) - Putin will approve a plan and then drive his subordinate leaders to come in under budget and well ahead of schedule.
Sometimes the "obvious" objectives are not the real objectives. ;-)
What good will it do to release the Barroso tape?
Western Propaganda (MSM) will give it less coverage than they gave the missing Kievan Air Traffic Controller tape.
Gobbels is back, boys, and working for the West.
Russian military has a hectic reputation... 10 Russian paratroopers become an invading force of 1000! that route the entire Ukrainian Army, NATO has to have 5 to 10 thousand quick response troops and a 2.3 million man force to stop a 285,000 man Russian military. With that kind of rep... no wonder Barrosso (and NATO) is crapping himself!
No one in Europe is going to want to fight Russia except maybe the Poles. Good luck. Germans? Italians? Spaniards? Dutch? Maybe some Brits and maybe a few people in Obama's-Democrats USSA are dumb enough to want to fight.
This is right on Russia's border and the Russians will fight. Plus other Slavic people and Orthodox men will fight on the Russian side. Europe does not want to get in a fight with Russia.
As these guys atDNR have said - every 40 to 60 years the West tries to invade the Slavic areas near Russia and ever time they get destroyed. Their message to the West is essentially - leave us the F alone or come here to fight and you will die.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH35raTPVu8
Actually, he said he can do it in "45 minutes".
Incorrect. Putin can kick things off in 45 minutes, but to completely wrap up Kiev would take six or eight hours, like the German invasion of Denmark.
I was thinking a "two weeks" like in Iraq...
I wonder if Barroso called Obama "a shiftless nigger" in another part of the conversation?
I wish Putin would create a web site and then post actual conversations.
TPTB would shit their pants if real transparency occurred.
When I was younger and much more naive, I was dreaming about becoming a president of my country.
Then, I would carry a fucking mic 24/7 and record every conversation, and make all the recordings public.
I'd also probably be dead after 2 days, though.
"Thanks for the Nukes, Niggerbama!"
Oh, that's right, you and Reggie have a mile-deep shaft!
It didn't have to wait for Putin to point out Barroso isn't a serious person. Maoists seldom are.
The WWIII is over in 2 days and not 2 weeks.
It would be mildly amusing if Putin said that all future discussions would be streamed live over the internet.
Distruptive business models are the only way to go now....
putin says 2 weeks dat slow mo.
look at tony yo blair he said saddam hussein could be in london in 45 mins.
now 45min london is
quicker dan 2 weeks to kiev.
why sirs is putin

Russia ready to release audio recording of conversation between President Vladimir Putin and European Commission President Jose Barroso,
Sooner the better. This whole thing is an orchestrated design to recreate the cold war. A new cold war enables the USA to seperate Russia from Europe. End the years of growing economic and social ties that scare the shit out of Washington DC. There is only one winner in a war with Russia that devestates Europe. The USA, and the EU clowns totally ignore their nations interests to serve Washington's interests. EU leaders are totally coopted by bribes, high paying jobs for family members and NSA black mail. EU leaders also know that the CIA and MI6 stand ready to "fuck them up" big time should they stray from the American script. Accidents happens, strange illnesses crop up. Bottom line is Washington is trying to preserve it's world position by forcing conflict between Russia and Europe. The usefull idiots in this case are Brussels EU whores and Polish and Lithuanian fuck heads living in the past.
Only way to avoid the coming European war is for people in Europe to rise up and throw out the Washington and Brussels whores. But. they are too fat dumb and happy to act out. They will behave like the sheep they are and so will Americans. Both peoples do not deserve freedom, deomocracy or free markets, they neither want them or know what to do with them. That is old hat, they want media, sports, movies, drugs and government jobs. All else just gets in the way. Freedom is too time consuming for them. So sheep they will remain. Baaaaa, you stupid fucks!
>>>The usefull idiots in this case are... Polish and Lithuanian fuck heads living in the past.
The Poles and Balts really, really, really need to learn to quit when they're ahead.
Why quit now?
Lukashenka and Kaliningrad are a step away from turning away from Putin.
Concerning Kaliningrad, Lithuania has that nut in a tight vise... rail transport, gas transit... imagine if they closed the border to Kaliningrad - where would those Russians go to the mall, or to get the groceries they've been used to for years?
Besides... all that Russian raw material that ships from Klaipeda, where else is it going to go? Primorsk and St P often get frozen up.
Russia can't be mean to the Baltics... with all those "ethnic Russians" there.
A senior Minister in the Saudi Government once told me, matter-of-factly, that they bribe western leaders all the time. With really serious money. That's why so many of them push relentlessly for mass Muslim immigration, support the building of mosques etc. More significantly they support wars that suit Saudi objectives. A lot fits into place if you accept what this guy said. Qatar is at it in a big way too.
Monty Burns, international man of mystery! :>D
I don't believe Putin said two weeks since he knows it would likely take little more than 2 days. What's the fuss anyways? "if I wanted to". He obviously doesn't want to or he already would have. What Putin should have told boraso it to " take that eu flag, and the flag pole it hangs from, and shove it up your ass ".
