Russia Responds To The Latest European Sanctions: "You Leave Us No Choice"
As usual, every European snaction (sic) has an equal and opposite Russian reaction. Here is how the Russian Foreign ministry responded to what van Rompuy announced earlier today would be a new round of Russian sanctions, which wil finally be enforced tomorrow. First from the Russian foreign ministry:
- BY PASSING NEW ANTI-RUSSIAN SANCTIONS, EU EFFECTIVELY MADE CHOICE AGAINST PEACE PROCESS IN UKRAINE - RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY'S STATEMENT
And from Russia's European ambassador:
- NEW EU SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA LEAVE RUSSIA NO OTHER CHOICE BUT
TO GO FOR CERTAIN COUNTER-MEASURES - RUSSIA'S PERMANENT REP TO THE EU
CHIZHOV - EU SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA DEVOID OF ELEMENTARY LOGIC, COMING SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH DE-ESCALATION OF UKRAINIAN CRISIS - RUSSIA'S AMBASSADOR TO EU CHIZHOV
Below is the official statement, Google-translated:
In connection with the statement of the President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy from September 11 regarding the introduction of a new package of anti-Russian sanctions, we can state the following.
By taking this step, the EU has actually made a choice against the peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian domestic crisis, whose support was expected of all responsible powers in Europe.
Today Brussels and heads of EU member states should give a clear answer to the citizens of the European Union why they put them at risk of confrontation, economic stagnation and the loss of jobs.
And the punchline:
Finally, give peace a chance.
So Obama channels Dubya and Putin channels John Lennon. The New Normal sure is strange.

There's money in peace?
These EU sanctions are brought to us by Stihl chainsaws.
Got firewood?
Peace sells, but who's buyin?
EU sanctions are 'The Conjuring' - obey
I'm pretty sure Tyler wants Putin to jack off in his mouth. Seriously ZH, every other post is about how fucking great Russia is and how smart their foreign policy is. Really? Russia has made more missteps over the years than anyone and, yeah, Putin may win the occasional exchange with Obama but my 12-year old daughter could beat Obama.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

It's nice to see those brainwashed government lovers expose themselves.
Russia should just get with it and put a 20% surcharge on gas to the EU.
Anyone financially harmed would be made whole again and anything leftover could be given to the BRICS Development Bank.
Has anybody actually bothered to look at the average outside temperatures in Kyiv, Ukraine. So where is Ukraine actually going to get gas for the Winter? Temp chart here.

Russia is still playing softball with Barry. If he gets serious, he’ll raise oil prices to $150 pb and double the price of gold. The Western nations’ economies would slow to a halt and the Fed would shit a brick seeing the price of Munger’s “Foolish metal” skyrocket out of their control.
Putin does not need to fire a shot.
given the facts on the ground, in the vaults, on the balance sheets, it is astounding, to me, that tptb have the hubris to keep this up. they shot kennedy to, in part, fight the vietnam war. they blew up the world trade center and the bookkeeping section of the pentagon, in part, to fight the wars in afghanistan and iraq. what gives?
even life in israel doesn't seem to be so sweet these days. and the long run demographics there and world opinion of israel among younger citizens bodes worse.
maybe lennon had it right. maybe "imagine" is better geopolitics than what henry k and bibi n have come up with so far.
......actually I was thinking it's the verbal equivalent of watching the retarded neighbour boy piss all over his shoes .... mildly amusing but mostly sad....
In the "Sad but True" catagory: Putin is biatch slapping Obama all over the world. And he likes it.
" true ", yes, but why " sad "?
Sad because the Faux Porch Monkey is using our checkbook for his little foreign policy disasters......
Why you gotta go and give this scumbag some sympathy by resorting to blatant racism?
Because you actually support him and wish to give ZH a bad name, that's why!
How 'bout you FOAD?
And in the event I'm incorrect, and you're really that racist?
How 'bout you FOAD?
It's obvious you give humanity a bad name. The only question is, is it intentional?
First, ....don't be hatin' ....
Second since when has Porch Monkey been a racist term....... my grandmother used to call me a porch monkey all the time....
why you gotta git all up in my shit like that, ain't no need
OK but seriously get the stick out of your ass and put some perspective in your life; you go off at some percieved racist comment made toward a psycho meat puppet on a blog when said meat puppet is actively participating in the genocide of civilian populations all over the world as well as in his alleged country??
Yeah, my little cyber existence is the problem alright, the worlds financial system is in collapse, the entire political system is a farce, governments are currently or are in preparations to engage their own citizenry we're eating and drinking chemicals at every turn and this is what you go nuts over, jesus h christ what are you going to do when things get real??
ZH is an alternative to the steaming pile of bullshit being rammed down our throats by our liars in charge and I suspect most coming here to get the news and views see it and use it as such but just in case you've not processed it yet ....... commenters make comments..... some stupider than others some truly thought provoking and a lot of peanut gallery fodder but they are just words on a blog, they aren't bullets to children's heads, they aren't bombs on schools, they aren't missiles strikes on hospitals.... just words so down vote and move on ......
FFS I call my kids porch monkeys all the time ....... because they play on the porch...... and they are always asking for more support but seem to have a problem paying their bills ......
so if you are so truly offended by any perceived racial slight you may wish to consider keeping 9 mm JHPs along with the appropriate application device handy because shit is about to get real for realz and one under the chin may be your best option if you are so easily offended.......
...... fuck I'm glad I didn't say Jiggaboo
watch out or someone might put the sheeny curse on you
Raks +1000 ... too right.
to porch monkey or not to porch monkey?
yes obama is odious. yes his crimes dwarf even using a phrase with racist overtones (from urban dictionary: 1. porch monkey
A person who sits on the porch and watches the neighbors.
A small child that enjoys being on the porch.
And what can I get for you, little porch monkey? Oh its okay, I'm taking it back.

Remind me again about racism?
He's presiding over his desired peak of Empire. Fuck me, a whole lotta shit wrong here and everywhere else, but the guy is trying to drive us all back into some platonic dreamland impossible Nirvana stone age .... This milking the system for the über-wealthy and the free shit army is killing the rest of us who've worked, saved, built and done something constructive in our lives than leach off the system
That's why there are cheers.
The dude is in the pilot seat, perpendicular to the earth, power dive, 110% full military throttles, options none and telling us that he's doin' it for our benefit. No jobs, no income growth, the government an business ripping our hearts out and now because the plebes are catching up to his bullshit, he's off to start more wars, wasting life and national treasure.
And people wonder why there's a tone here?
It's not Pro-Putin, it's rooting for the enemy of my enemy who is my friend.
Fuck the Progressives (And I only say that because they're at the tiller, today. Y'all shoulda heard my screeds about the pother guys, too)
Party on "folks" because it's always been said that Peak Empire is the Best Time to Party!
Thats damn straight. Nail on the head.
Again, Knucks +1000...totally in agreement.
Hunh, I never heard that the time to party is at peak empire before. Fuck! That makes me an "early adopter". Why not? The world is on fire, but it's like an ethanol fire, hard to see, but not at all hard to feel.

Blow it off if you don't like offbeat shit like I do.
I'm sure he was thinking last night I break this pip squueck of a bitch as Putin was laughing out loud at Obama.
these sanctions are for what I thought as was well in Ukraine? don't you use sanctions for when something isn't going your way. but I'll regress this isn't about Ukraine Europe is Obamas bitch I see
Nevertheless, this sanction game is a loose-loose proposition... and all about this stupid Ukraine story.
Way to use your brain loser
if Scotland (i.e., Crimea) votes to secede from the UK (i.e., Ukraine), then you can expect the US (i.e., the US) to bomb Syria (i.e., Iraq).
that's what international diplomacy demands.
and if Scotland uses a crypto, or PM-backed currency, I'm going to spend the next 30 days in my bunker.
Russia has already prepared retaliatory sanctions against EU and US on their Cars and Textiles. Watch for Ford and Chevrolet to dump down by losing upto 300k units of car sales and EU to lose 370k cars plus Mercedes, Audi and BMW of perhaps 100k and all the trucks etc. The Japanese will get hurt too with their 154k Toyota units pa. Koreans and Chinese will gain traction.
This whole mess worldwide with sanctions, drones, wars etc ties in perfectly with the theme of the oncoming USD collapse, gold and silver price spike before end of 2014, due to massive scarcity of silver in Shanghai and the start of international gold trading in Shanghai FTZ on Sept 29, and then the collapse within the next few months and the USD losing its value massively by upto 30% to 40%. US gets to blame the rest of the world for the USD collapse on which it cannot tie band aid solutions any more. Watch out for Russia and China to announce their ACTUAL gold reserves which will create an anomaly because so much gold does not even exist on the planet and the 2,200 tons being mined pa outside of Russia and China has simply gone to China, India and Russia and the vaults of NY and London are all but empty. Germans will get damned when they lose business with Russia at the same time when US defaults on their gold. Would love to watch the expression on the faces of Germans and all the EU people when that happens! No jobs and no gold!! Voila! But nothing shocks them any more, the politicians of EU are pulling their citizens to a disaster which no one wants but I wonder why EU citizens (or sheeple) do not protest!?
Russia’s New Package of Retaliatory Measures to Western Sanctions Ready: Kremlin
Who gets dinged if Russia bans car imports?Russia only imports about 10% of textiles from EU and US, however, the machinery will impact the Germans at a time when they desperately need growth and more jobs and not less jobs!

I agree with your timeline.Its the same as mine,and for the same reasons.
The current PM manipulation is the last gasp from a corpse.
Christmas is not going to be merry in the west.
I don't follow the PM story though I know of the manipulation. I trust you guys are right, and will be keeping my eye on this one! Fuck, all that holds the west together is Fiat Printing, that is now a proven fact. Fiat is just fucking paper, it always, sooner or later, drops to it's true value. ZERO!
not sure if you will see the gold and silver spike but it would be nice...
India has already put a 10% additional duty on gold since March 2013. This makes acquiring gold overseas through unofficial channels and then selling it at 'official' prices a very lucrative proposition (therefore Indians are already paying 10% to 12% higher than global prices when buying physical/jewellery) and channels money from the pockets of the public to the jeweller/smuggler/Govt because in India the demand for gold is price inelastic.
Whereas, China is acquiring gold for supporting SDR or yuan or bitcoin (or partly all) whatever comes as the next 'trade' currency mechanism. China is the biggest buyer of gold which makes it the biggest bidder and once they bid at exhorbitant prices to reflect reality from Shanghai or HK exchanges, then just like India, as explained above, gold price will rise more than 10% as compared to any other country.
Russia does not even need a reason to bid gold 20% or 30% higher every other month or quarter because they will need to pay the Chinese or whoever and have all these stupid sanctions to worry about.
Africa and Latam will follow with Argentina, Venezuela etc already having breakdown in their currency levels.
Once 6.6bn people (91% of world's pop) living outside of EU and US start bidding gold, not as much for silver (which after centuries still remains an industrial metal and not as much of a PM and is larger to boot), we SHOULD see a spike in the price of gold at the same time when USD will dramatically drop and at the same time the value of yuan will significantly appreciate, IMHO. Timing of this is unpredictable, due to the manipulation, but the day is very very near.
Camp A - transnational Capitalists who respect capital and power - to them humans are capital
Camp B - nationalist, sovereignists. They respect humanity.
The US represents camp A
Russia represents camp B
Nationalist rules get in the way of camp A's agenda. So they lie and kill
Then, there is camp C. The ignorant, who have no idea what is going on :markelshark
In any population there is a certain percentage of idiots. Math (statistics) says it's about the same in any random group, in any race. That's the closest a "behavioral" science will ever come to respectability...
The Rothschild have been jacking off in your mouth for the past 100 years. Putin is trying to stop it for his nation. Unless you are enjoying it you can at least support the effort.
There must have been an undocumented epidemic of porn consumption, worldwide, that I was not aware of. I have seen evidence of this in many commenter arguments on Youtube, other news sites, and now here on Zerohedge. Sad. Part of the breathtaking rollback of human civilization and descent into barbarity that is ongoing.
All you have proven is that you can't even fucking read, you mongoloid.
Get fucked.

Three cords of cherry and maple to feed the fireplace and woodburner. I love sawing wood, just the best kind of exercise.
Chopping wood isn't bad, either.
I'll throw splitting into the mix... running a chainsaw all day is pretty gruelling, but swinging a ~20lb maul all day is a better total body workout... plus, having a couple foot diameter chunk of tree trunk split is pretty satisfying. Gets tougher as the day goes on though, as lining up perfect, successive shots on the log is a necessity to getting it split.
I took down 15 ash trees this summer due to the Emerald Ash Borer killing all my trees. (thanks China)
There's something damn satisfying about swinging that maul and splitting a 15" diameter log (yes, succesive shots on the same spot is necessary for that first split, but ash splits so damn nice). I picture my slave driver boss on the face of the log when I line up to make the strike.
Three cords of split wood all stacked and covered for the winter. Long and hot burning wood.
Obligatory Einstein quote:
People love chopping wood. In this activity one immediately sees results.
Big Al
The woodpile at the bugout place is filled, not so at my ratrace digs. Powerful storms have left plenty of material only no time to scrounge.
For 15 years almost all I have burned is EAB killed ash - great firewood.
The tallest tree at the bugout lost half its bark one day, it had been slow to leaf out that spring. almost a full cord from it.
A call to the state dnr got me in touch with a wildlife biologist who said the ash tree will go extinct in MI lower penninsula, their efforts at stopping it were to hold it at the Big Mac bridge. I didn't have the heart to tell him I read the gov of WI advised land owners to cut down all their ash trees, to get what value they could from them. Somebody forgot to lock the back door.
I have 20 acres of hardwood - cherry, maple and some oak. Good barter, good fuel. maybe learn how to tap the trees for syrup one day.
How you going to barter when the thugs shoot you dead, then cut down your trees and sell them off. You going to be able to stand watch with your gun against a gang of thugs??

" There's money in peace?"
If you get the Nobel peace prize there certainly is.
Piece.
Peace sells, but who is buying?
There can be, but national leaders who are both wise enough see it, and bold enough to risk (everything) for it are few and far between - I've only met two.
War is a much easier sell.
All according to NWO architects
What the NWO geniuses haven't figured out yet is that the Russians have been here before. They know what it's like. No "frog in the kettle" syndrome with these mates. They damn sure won't hand over the keys to their future security or their country...like the Sheeple have in the west.
The hubris of the NWO is derived from the security provided by their relative distance from the fray. We haven't seen them affected personally yet. Which begs the question, "what assets does Putin have to change this"? Does he start reaching out and touching people or does he just say "fuck it, I'm all in"? I think if he keeps a steady hand, Porky and Yats will have more than Putin to worry about. They'll have their own bodyguards and the entire western Ukraine citizenry to worry about.
After which, things will settle down and everyone can focus on the Mossad, er, I mean, ISIS. Poland will go back to diddling themselves. Germany can finish what they already know must be done, diplomatic and financial alignment with the new allies to their east.
If you cant stand this country anymore, its time to get a Russian or Chinese bride!

already have a polish bride but want to take her to a civilized asian country for our sunset. i have lived through the glory years of the usa. it was a great run. it is so fucked up now it is unrecognizable. the people are still mostly very good but the character has changed over the last 15 years to a cowering, paranoid, unfocused, almost despondent character. it is not the usa i grew up in and loved. i fear my .gov. that is reason enough to leave for me. my kids are gone but my wife wants to stay until her mother dies.
Tell 'em you're an LDS, and you can have both. ;-)
Although, personally, why ask for more when one is trouble enough (If they're 'Merican). ;-)
"CERTAIN COUNTER-MEASURES" ???
Should be interesting...
Threatening "confrontation," that's serious.
Not if your the brown clown of the links.
Blah blah blah blah, more rhetoric. This is about as anti-climatic as watching our fucked up stock market reach new highs everyday. Shit or get off the pot, and lets be done with this nonsense, it's coming one way or the other anyway.
[best soup nazi voice] "No gas for YOU! NEXT!"
I think they are talking about turning off a few large industrial sized taps just before it gets really COLD.
How funny would it be for Putin to continue suppliing the Ukraine, EU & Germany energy until that first day of brutal winter cold. Then, methodically turning it off at night for one day then turning on for one day just so they can get a taste reverse Sanctions.
Those Countires Populace especially Germany would turn rabid against their Controlers instantly.
Check mate US/EU.
Obama is like a pigeon on a chess board. knocks all the pieces out, shits all over the board and strutts around as if he won.
Obama and company are following orders and have almost completed the mission they set out to accomplish. The moment you think these so call people are "stupid" or "don't know what their doing", is the moment they have you in their bag.
they're lulling us into a true sense of security
The "Fuckit" moment is getting closer.
when? I want my prize so I can go home. I am 1 sick American thats peach last night was disgustingly ignorant wtf was he saying. and what about this coalition didnt anyone ever tell the bozo to get a commitment before saying they are commited? loser
So is the "Fuck Wit" moment.
I cannot believe our PM here in Oz is strutting around picking a fight with anyone who'll listen. He has said some STUPID shit like when he was addressing Congress recently or, maybe it was just some little room with a few secretaries in it, I'm not sure?? but he said, "Australia will stand with the US forever!" "You'll Never Walk ALone!"
I mean, Fairdinkum! why would he steal that line from Gerry and the Pacemakers???
I mean, he really DID make that comment the other day and then today he said he's opening a new Embassy in Ukraine, giving them military aid as well as sending Advisors with NO parliamentary debate!
As well as accusing Putin of invading Ukraine and shooting down MH17. As well as announcing that Australia and Ukraine are the best of friends! But, there is a few other stupid things he did that in my mind, really tipped his/their hand.
Last week he hailed Japan as "Australia's best friend in Asia!" I mean, even I know you don't say that. Especially when most of our trade is with China!!
I REALLY think that the anti Putin crap being thrown around lately by the Media has been bad but, our PM has been much worse!
He has now upped the "Terrorist" Attack Guage today to "Likely" or Major" or "Be fuckin very scared" or whatever the worst is. All because he is trying so hard to ramp up the ISIS fear factor in us Aussies but no one here listens to a word this idiot say's anyway because
1. He is a deadset Prick
and
2. Aussies couldn't give a shit and don't listen to anything these idiot Pollies ever say or warn us of anyway.
The only thing we care about is our Footy AND it's Finals Time!
But, seriously, He has shown his hand as we now have apparently agreed to become a NATO ancillary allie without any Parliamentary debate. He has pissed off China in such a DUMB way which, I doubt even he is capable of?
He meant to!
He has set the sides of a definite war sometime soon against China, Russia and maybe Sth America & India.
He is prancing about like he is ready to duke it out personally. Meanwhile 99% of Australia are ignoring him while they're at the beach living it up but, it is really obvious that HE believes it. That is a sign and THAT is a worry!
Is it just me (and Farage) or does everyone think Herman Van Rompuy is a bit toady
So this is how World Wars begin.
With dumb, the USA...
And dumber...the EU...
Can't they just stop, tell the prestitutes to report something else (hint Isis)
and pretend this never happened, like the Ukraines blasting that passenger jet out of the sky?
It really isn't that hard, you just stumble into your next fuck up and forget the last one.
King putt and his admin do it all the time at least domestically.

The bankers face no political consequences for paying in printed paper to turn their personal goals into national policy. The West is without real national governments.
All he has to say is "gas must be purchased in Rubles, Yuan or gold". And then make sure his nuclear counter strike ability is ready to go, because he will probably need it.
The strategic rocket force never stood down after the last simulated war drill.
gold, I hope
Russia should make Germany a special case and tell - Gold only for you, go get it back from the US.
The people in Germany would not know who to more pissed at, Russia or the US.
.... oh they know alright and it is expected soon the cracks in the German-US facade will become a chasm as the US continues its tantrem of distraction

The US/EU is rapidly losing all credibility (with logical people) as it presses on with 'bad Russia' even without proving who downed MH17.
That leaves only those who don't think to follow the party line. It works for a while as the dense are in great supply but if you lose the intellegent you damage something called 'the fabric' or 'moral fiber' of the country. Eventually the government needs some kind of real thinking support...doesn't it?
The US/EU is like a zombie robot remote controlled from... I was going to say Tel-Aviv but more likely from some ranchs in Patagonia these days (but by the same chosen people dual citizens).
If the zombie robot gets fried antagonising the bear, well the parasites will just find another remote controlled zombie robot - maybe throw the election in Brazil and take over there Soros style...
this is the main aim of the Jewry: weaken EU, weaken Russia and go after China.

and the EU must do, what the US Jewry masters tell them.

And Ua is good enough to help the flow.

You're making me hot!

Russia is totally cock blocking them, though.......Boooooo!
Putin is the skipper of a small boat, not the captain of a large ocean-going ship. He has manuevered himself into tricky coastal waters. He finds himself in narrow channels that offer no opportunity to turn around. His helm cannot respond to the types of commands he is used to giving. The currents and tides are driving him onto the rocks. He will beach his craft.
Everyone sees themselves as the Ukraine... as Poland... as Estonia... as Latvia... as Lithuania... I suspect many gave Russia the benefit of the doubt over what was in that humanitarian aid convoy. Time and actions told us the true story. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Putin is not trusted nor respected. He will be replaced.
I'd liek to take the time to rebut this, but, it's just utter rubbish
... 19 weeks... eh?
.....point being ??
Words of advice that may help Fat Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life son......
Easy enough to fool you every time.
If you need to use a seafaring analogy,Putin is Prien, about to enter Scapa Flow.
Uh, yeah. Can you diagram that, and get back to us?
Putin is is very smart, but still just an animal. corner him and you get what you deserve.
Putin sends other Russians to their deaths to support his lifestyle, and those of his friends. When his inactions hit home, he'll quit.
Everyone will look to him for decisions. The europeans will slowly ramp up the decisionmaking process so that Putin will be taxed, and then left behind. Putin will quit.
Just watch. Putin is all reaction. He cannot believe Europe is allied against him. He doesn't want to hurt his place in Europe. He will spend many Russian lives to protect his place in Europe.
Is that what they tell you at the briefings?
Good. Gooood.
You don't think Putin has his own personal version of Dead Hand?
You're an idiot.
You realize this is all about a port in a NATO Lake?
Putin will find a friend of his will act in an unfriendly manner. The world is abandoning him. He knows it. The leaders of the world know it. Putin does not navigate very well... The currents and tides are getting fickle.
are you drunk or just stupid?????
putin has many Irons in the fire, What will he sink first ,the US$ or the US Flat-tops?
...US$...US Flat-tops...?
Do you think Putin can really do that?
You totally made that up without a shread of evidence.
I've told you it's not a NATO lake. Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia and Turkey border the Black Sea.
Ukraine and Georgia are not in NATO. With South Steam routed through Bulgaria, I'd hardly call it antipathetic to Russia. Romania speaks for itself.
Everyone knows that Turkey isn't NATO's most solid member, that it has good relations with Russia and controls the Bosphorus.
And everybody knows it was the CIA that released the tapes to embarrass Erdogan couple of months before the election.
You may not know it, but Erdogan does.
In your case it's
"Fool me a gazillion times."
So many metaphors...how about some...oh I don't know...reasons it will play out like this. Facts are certainly annoying when they don't support your opinion...so why bother with any, eh?
26 weeks... eh?
Really? So that 80% approval rating must be bogus. Probably the same people that cooked up Obama's 30% approval rating.
You think that 80% approval rating is accurate?
Ugh, this sucks. Do people have no idea just how much Russian resources are needed for the rest of the world's industries? Russia clamping down on a little of this and that in the raw materials department can potentially drive thousands out of work in my industry. Pass the TUMS...
The 'EU', Romp-roy and the rest of them don't bidet their collective Rump-roys without State Department approval... I guess it's going to take batteries of SS-26 along the Polish border before Frau Merkel has a change of mind? Then again, perhaps not.
At this point, what does Russia have to lose by invading western Ukraine? The US and EU have removed any incentives that Putin had to try and avoid war. IF that wasn't enough, they are going to piss off Putin and China by bombing Syria. There is nowhere for this to go but full scale war. Exactly what the west wants.
Co-ordinated UST dump with China first.Not that I beleive either really own any
at this point.
The desperation is palpable in the US moves, its now or never for a confrontation,
before the SCO gets any stronger.
It's like Victoria Nuland said. "Fuck the EU."
I am mystified.
Who exactly benefits when 15000 nukes
( US and Russia ) get fired off???
I know the PTBs will go to the wall rather than lose out,
but really???
The only think I can think of (and Fukushima has already puked more radiation into the biosphere than 15K nukes - much more and will for a billion years) is that aliens that require a radioactive atmosphere have bargained with the Illuminati to destroy the planet, in exchange for 'eternal life'.
Hahahaha! Wait till they find out the aliens lied! Hahahaha!
"To Serve Man". Oh my God, it's a cook book!!!!"
It is not a game of sovereignty, as only Ukraine's sovereignty has been threatened.
It is a game of chicken with control of Europe up for grabs.
Puting hopes to leverage energy for control.
The EU hopes to leverage security for control.
The US hopes to settle both the other two to retain control.
All of them are playing chicken.
Ah, yes, Herman-the-Grey-Mouse von Rumpoy -- aka "Herman the Grey" and "Rump-be-still-skin" -- complains that Russia Moved The Cheese once again.
Fucking Belgians. Ever since Austin Powers and Dr. Evel, they've been on a tear: buying up beer companies and USTs, selling small Arms to NATO and its enemies. Can somebody please put them in place?
They are just stirring the alphabet soup to see a 'Yes' vote assembled on the question whether to create an EU Army.
If Germany takes a strong down-turn, then the expected armaments contracts could be a strong incentive for German companies to lobby their government to vote yes.
The EU is not viable until it can keep the plebes in line, and execute foreign policy without the need to yank on puppet strings in the US.
Meanwhile, back in Russia, 4 opposition leaders were just sentanced to years in prison.

You are not allowed to post anything that shows Russia in any light other than the one their Troll Army paints.
The irony being, that even if you simply point out that Russia is also not perfect, that there are no clean hands in sight anywhere, you are going to be attacked.
Russia is a first class scheit-country in a number of ways and I would not go there if someone payed me to. They are utterly corrupt, scared of gay people and use people from other countries like slave labour just to send them home without pay, just to mention a few things. But they don't deserve being attacked by the US and EU.
Shhhh! Don't critize King Puttie around here man! They don't take too kindly to facts or objectivity when it comes to dear leader...I'm going to go hide now before they find me, I suggest you do the same.
Only 4 of the oppostion. Mr Obama is only going after one Rick Perry

Meanwhile back in Ferguson MO.
But that's alright, darteaus, they're not Americans, they're just niggers.
Putin Wrong + Ferguson Wrong = Darteaus Wrong?
No, Darteaus, you're not wrong.
You just do what everybody on the planet does.
And everybody at zh does.
You over-accentuate the sins of your opposition and under-emphasize the sins of your side. It's human nature.
Mia culpa
Opposition sponsored by some Soros NGO?
They're sending in Dolf Lundgren?
This is going to hurt.
No gas for you! says the gaz Nazi!
If Putin wants to play hard ball
At the present there are only a Russian, an American and a European Astronaut aboard the ISS.
The Soyuz shuttle, operated by Russia, is the only way to get to and return from the ISS.
Russia could announce there will be only one more shuttle sent up to remove all the current astronauts. And there will be no more shuttles until the disagreement between Russia and the EU is settled amicably.
Until that happens, Russia's BFF, China, will have the only operational space station.
Nice.
Do you honestly think the space station is a valued game piece?
