Europe Shocked When Russia Does To It What Europe Did To Russia
The EU issued a press release this morning which could perhaps be summed up in 2 words - "not fair." Following the denial-of-entry by Russia of several EU politicians, Russia has released a list of 89 names who will face travel bans - of exactly the same type as EU and US enforced upon numerous Russian elites. Europe is displeased that Russia would dare do unto them as they have done unto others... "we deem this measure as totally arbitrary and unjustified," they exclaimed, adding, "we don’t have any further information on the legal basis or the criteria or the process of these decisions."
The travel bans by Russia appear to be a response to the E.U.’s imposing several rounds of sanctions on Russia for its role in destabilizing Ukraine, including asset freezes and travel bans on 150 officials.
Full European Union press release...
Statement by the EU Spokesperson on the Russian "Stop List"
In the past few months several EU politicians have been denied entry when arriving at the Russian border. The Russian authorities justified these refusals by referring to the inclusion of these individuals on a confidential "stop list".
After each of these refusals, the EU and the Member States whose nationals were affected had repeatedly requested transparency about the content of this list.
The list with 89 names has now been shared by the Russian authorities. We don't have any other information on legal basis, criteria and process of this decision. We consider this measure as totally arbitrary and unjustified, especially in the absence of any further clarification and transparency.
We are keeping in close contact with the Member States involved.

Germans are displeased...
- *GERMANY `REGRETS' RUSSIAN TRAVEL BAN LIST FOR EUROPEANS
The Brits are unhappy at the treatment too:
"if Russia thinks this action will cause the E.U. to change its position on sanctions, it is wrong,” said a spokeswoman from the British Foreign Office.
“Basically, what the Russians are doing is having a tantrum,” Malcolm Rifkind, a former British foreign secretary, told the BBC. “It shows we are making an impact because they wouldn’t have reacted unless they felt very sore at what had happened.”

Are politicians immune to hypocrisy?
As The Washington Post reports however, the Russians have their reasons...
An unnamed official from Russia’s Foreign Ministry told the Russian Interfax news agency that “it was done as a response to the campaign of sanctions that has been unleashed against Russia by some of the European Union states, with Germany at the head.”
The official also said that there is a similar list of Americans but noted, without elaboration, that the Americans had been handling the issue “more constructively than the Europeans.”
* * *
The list - for now - has not been publicly disseminated but details are leaking out...
Among those listed is Uwe Corsepius, current secretary general of the European Union council in Brussels, who is due to take over as foreign affairs advisor to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The document also includes Bruno Le Roux, the leader of President Francois Hollande's Socialists in parliament, Britain's former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and former Belgian premier Guy Verhofstadt, who heads the Liberal group in the European parliament.
Poland, which has been the sternest EU critic of Russia's policy towards Ukraine, had 18 names on the list.
"For some time we've seen that Russia is not necessarily trying to mitigate tensions but rather strengthen them," a spokeswoman for Poland's government told Reuters.
Last Monday, Germany protested to Russia over its refusal to let a conservative German lawmaker, Karl-Georg Wellmann, who had called Russia a "warmonger" earlier this year, into the country.
Other countries with names on the list include Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and Spain.

On May 23, 2015 Russian President Vlaldimir Putin signed into law a new bill from the Duma that now gives prosecutors power to declare foreign and international organizations “undesirable” in Russia and shut them down. Predictably US State Department spokesperson, Marie Harf, said the United States is “deeply troubled” by the new law, calling it “a further example of the Russian government’s growing crackdown on independent voices and intentional steps to isolate the Russian people from the world.”

Like Victoria Nuland said"Fuck the EU"
"“Basically, what the Russians are doing is having a tantrum,” Malcolm Rifkind, a former British foreign secretary, told the BBC. “It shows we are making an impact because they wouldn’t have reacted unless they felt very sore at what had happened.""
Rifkind would say that, he's one of the useless Brits on Russia's ban list.
Shocked, wait till they get news of the next round of sanctions, the round where the EU elites get their real assets cashed out of Russia and exchanged for fiat dollars-and US equivalent "exit taxes".
They can give the sanctioned a brochure: "Your rights as a hostile foreign investor in Russia are over, enjoy the the islamic gay EU"
May I have the flushable copy of this story?
Give me one US Politicians name that we shouldn't ban from the US.
"There are two types of people in the world. Us. And everyone else, who should gratefully and unquestioningly serve us." :0)
I'll bet Putin 'knows of no controlling legal authority' that says he can't...har dee har har...
How bad do you want in?...50 Gold ounces a head per day, bring your own food, drink, tent and sleeping bag!
true hospitality, awaits you
Well Boohoo EU idiots.! What comes around goes around.
I'll bet the Germans blew a gasket when they read that, considering that it was the US who pushed them into imposing sanctions, then secretly backing down on thier own?!
A nice simmer to juice the meat. The EMP can’t come soon enough.
Putin fact. Vladimir Putin once threw a grenade and killed 50 capitalists. . . then the grenade exploded.
no world cup for scum bags, boo fucking hoo

Ask your Mandarin friends to interpret a transparent IMF organization press release.
Let the laugher of deception continue.
"...we don’t have any further information on the legal basis or the criteria or the process of these decisions."
How's this? The Russian Federation is a sovereign nation with the right to deny entry to any person at any time for any reason or none at all, and does not have to explain itself to any foreigner---least of all any who aid and abet enemies of the Russian people.
IMF, let's roll the press release in Mandarin... No one in the United States of America will figure it out.
Tit for Tat, right?
Find yourself a chinese translator. Mine sleeps next to me.
Who the fuck cares if russia bans a few snobs from entering their country?
You know what would be interesting?
If the snobs were ALREADY IN RUSSIA, and they were throw in a prison.
That would be news worthy.
Would of been great if the list comprised of bankers also.
Is this the same Russia that just produced and aired on government run TV, a "doumentary" that caimed that the Russian led Warsaw Pact 1968 invasian of Czechoslovakia was a response to and attempted western coup'de ta? Yeah that's a credible story.
you got a lot to learn..
firstly was other govt, Soviet USSR, not Russia
turn over rock and find not Russians
1968? Couldn't you find anything about Ivan the Terrible?
Last time anyone checked Putin was a KGB officer and his government was fll of other "former" communists. The Communists were never held accountablor their crimes against humanity so why wouldn't they continue to make up lies to justify them?
Well, your Israeli buds were never held responsible for almost destroying the USS Liberty.
http://www.gtr5.com/commentary/A%20Juridical%20Examination%20of%20the%20...
Although the "slow wheels of justice" eventually did grind down the IDF Chief Yitzhak Rabin.
You mean like Rabin believing it was a Soviet warship? Or like the Israeli naval officers claim that there was no wind to unfurl the American flag and they couldn't see the Liberty's colors, while the crew of the Liberty said there was a stiff breeze and the flag flew straight out from the flagpole.
That must be the reason the belief in the Supreme Being is down so low. If the SB does exist there will be dues to be paid. And not just by the communists.
The victors of Iraq and the losers of Vietnam can expect some exceeding fine justice.
Must be a struggle going through life with a IQ around 80. Do you even know what a nonsequieter is? Even if there was a relationship, which there isn't, how does one compare the 35 lives lost aboard the USS Liberty and the 20,000,000 million plus victims of the Cheka/NKVD/GRU/KGB? Can you figure out how small a ratio 9/5000000 is?
Even the French had the good sense to raze the Bastille. Lubyanka still looms over Moscow. FSB vs. KGB, new name same criminal enterprise.
Putin's government is also full of liberal buddies from his years in the St Pete government. Wow, I guess that makes him a liberal weenie who is also a KGB thug. 0.o
Putin should say: its for illegally overthrowing the Freely and Fairly Elected government of Ukriane. And then follow that up with "Don't get me started on Syria and Lybia".
. . . and Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Yemen, and Panama, Chile, Iran way back in the 1950s, etc. . . .
I have read up on one Swedish parliament member banned by Russia. The old bag is seriously fucked up in the head. While claiming to be an ultra social liberal and socialist welfare advocate, she is totally active in support of the radical right wing Kiev Junta and it's various fascist and Nazi support groups, icluding a war criminal who will stand tril for torture and murder of prisoners and detainees inside Ukraines political prison system. This Swedish liberal goes so far as to wear a shirt with a war criminal's picture demanding the criminals freedom before her trial in Russia for murder and torture. Hypocrisy of a liberal socialist feminist supporting fascism, nazism and radical right wing nationalism is beyond bizzare. She makes claims on her Twitter account, none of which she has been willing to back up, as I asked her for evidence of her claims, only a dead silence form her is the result. When you can't back what you say, silence is the only refuge. Silly Bitch! I know plenty radical feminist Pussy Riot Swedish bags from the 60's-70's who are so fucking stupid it is hardly even funny.
PR and femen paid about $1k euro each performance with far higher for leaders.
from your decription this is old swedelib, tittes like spaniel ears, non compos mentis, ...so cheapr...
Please..no photo..
Are you sure she wasn't Hillary's long lost Sister from another Mother?
The denial-of-entry by Russia of several EU politicians is probably due to their involvement in economic terrorism.
OK now; let me see if I got it right...
What's good for the goose is NOT good for the gander?
Got it exactly. Russia was not supposed to respond to the sanctions except with tears and on its knees. Then, after a certain amount of time, we in the West would graciously consider lifting some of the sanctions - only IF Russia withdrew from Crimea and let NATO install missiles there. But Russia refused to act like the weak little kid on the playground who has to hand over his lunch money to the bully every day. What nerve.
what difference does any of this make if they can jam our electronics at will.
6000 German companies are trading with Russia.
Since Angela Merkel supported the US led sanctions,
all that trade has gone to China.
the German manufacturing sector is doing it tough and many of those 6000 German companies
are in real trouble now. Trade has collapsed by 50%.
this will teach Angela Merkel and Steinmeier to be the anglophile US lapdog they have become.
Russia is the biggest country in the world with huge trade,
and Germany acts like they are dirt.
US John McCain went to Ukrain to help overthrow the democratically elected Ukrain Government,
just because some neocon - neoliberal fascist Idiots did't like Ukrain to be friendly with Russia.
total Insanity. The west is just totally fucked! US and UK neocons neoliberal fascist fucks want to take over the world.
You see it in the middle east and even with FIFA....all those fucking spring maiden revolutions in the middle east just
created power-vaccums to be filled by deranged fucking Idiots and extremists. Egypt is run and supported by a fascist military Regime and
in Syria US with it's aggressive meddling created ISIS, supports them and even supplies heavy weapons to ISIS.
US supports all that Israel shit that's been happening in Gaza. Fuck you US and UK. You are the real economic terrorists.
I hope Russia and China start sanctions against all those neocon neoliberal fascist fuckers
and hits them where it hurts most.
with sanctions and trade !
WR;)
The EU and Zionist leaders of America want to enslave Russia and strip her of its resources. The Russian population is like the pearl in the oyster with their outright home ownership, no debt lifestyle, clean soil and healthy women.
" "we don’t have any further information on the legal basis or the criteria or the process of these decisions."
Ah, that would be either tit for tat OR What comes around goes around. All the legal basis involved.
So far the Russians have been more than fair considering the provocation. Imagine a nation continuing to supply energy to a state that calls it every name in the book and actively abuses its ethnic Russians resident in its Eastern provinces. Imagine Russia allowing the people of Crimea to attach themselves to Russia without a shot being fired. Too bad the Americans couldn't do that when they wrested Bosnia and Kosovo from Serbia under similar circumstances!
