After I make this post, I am going dark on anything bitcoin related. I am not in a panic, just a little annoyed about seeing the price go down constantly. Hopefully by the time I come back, we will be on our way to the moon. C ya later boys.  Sounds like a good plan for me. I am out of fiat on Stamp (might transfer a little more after the next pay check), and I am going to pull all of my sell orders, except for a couple of high-end ones, and move all my BTCs from the exchange to cold storage. See you all in a few months (yes, I know optimistic of me)  |

The guys in the car demand that police be called in, while the ones outside don't identify themselves and have sharp-loaded guns pointing at the people in the car. The guys themselves called to the police, but the police basically told them that loaded guns in a control post is ok, and disconnected. The guys are actually very well versed in law. They were filming the police raiding passing cars from some distance and got spotted.... Towards the end police demands that they stop filing. And then comes a fat guy, finally showing an ID card (police declined to show their id all the time)... of Right Sector. So that circus when from road patrol to police to special ops to Right Sector. Hierarchy is easily visible. To be honest, it seems to be a circus. The driver did have a gun in his car, in the glove compartment, and even though he didn't touch it when reaching for the documents, given the situation in the country, the reaction of the road patrol can be understandable. |

Those in military uniforms are the Kiev-delivered ones. The fat one in the beginning didn't like that a citizen was talking to him while having his hand in his pockets. Note that that another of those "fighters" reaches for his firearm at 0:15. Luckily no shots were fired. |

More on that: US destroyer Donald Cook enters Black Sea amid Ukraine tension (VIDEO)http://rt.com/news/uss-donald-cook-montreux-716/ “It demonstrates our commitment to our … allies to enhance security, readiness and capabilities,” spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said in a statement.
But sources in the Russian military believe the move is part of a systematic build-up of naval forces.
“What we are seeing is that for the first time since 2008, NATO is creating a naval battle group outside the Russian borders,” a source told Interfax news agency, citing the entry of French reconnaissance ship Dupuy de Lome and destroyer Dupleix – both expected within the next week.
...
“The purpose of this is to provide moral support for the regime in Kiev, but also as a demonstration of power to make Russia come to heel. But the ship will also collect information on Russian military activity in Crimea and on the Ukrainian border,” the source said.
Didn't know Ukraine was in NATO... |

Public Republic of Donetsk officially, at a press conference, proclaims creation of Donetsk People's Army and appoint it's Commander in Chief. That is interesting. Do they have any APCs or MBTs? What will be the approx. strength of the Donetsk People's Army? Has anyone from the Ukrainian Army defected to this side? Judging by this footage: there are some standard army-issued weapons and munition in circulation. According to some reports, there is a number of military personnel, who defected to the side of the people (the formulation does sound strange). One of the questions asked was about international observers, and the answer was that there is one observer from UN, who was in Donetsk. She is currently visiting Lugansk as the smallest, yet most volatile region, and will be returning to Donetsk tonight to conduct talks with the representatives of the local republican authorities. |

Good you started a separate topic about it. I posted a short reply about it on one of the other threads. Reposting: They are planning to oust the USD as the reserve currency - and its replacement they are not planning on being BTC ?
No, Russia, Kazahstan and Belarus return to discussions of creation of common currency, Altyn, by 2025: http://www.aif.ru/money/economy/1147145Kirgizija, Armenija an Tadzhikistan might join the financial union. Bye-bye, petrodollar.  |

If I remember right, russian delegation members said that they will resign in the case of exclusion from decision-making processes... So, they are leaving PACE now?
Yes, eventually: Russia’s delegation said before the vote that he could leave the Parliamentary Assembly for the Council of Europe in protest at the decision. However, in a heated media conference following the session, a more relaxed Pushkov stated, “We will take our time. The Russian delegation will meet in a calm atmosphere to make a decision within the next two to three weeks”.
The Russian delegation did not even attend the vote in protest at the motion, which was tabled by Robert Walter, a British member of the assembly. |

On a related note. Russia decided not to impose sanctions on Europe, but the reality of the economic state cannot be denied: http://rt.com/business/putin-ukraine-gas-europe-640/Ukraine’s total debt to Russia, including the $2.2 billion bill for gas, now stands at $16.6 billion, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.
Ukraine has not paid for Russian gas since the beginning of 2013, and with all discounts withdrawn it is now charged $485 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas. |

I gave up, so I simply translate whatever catches my attention the most. 247crypto, you'd get more people "on-board" if you at least posted your links along with Google translated short summaries. |

This thread became one big circlejerk
we may as well talk in russian now
When stuff happens in a Russian-speaking country, you should expect that the most verbal commentators would come from that region. Most here, though, try to translate the information so that it is available to the public. Or do you expect BBC/CNN/Fox "information" only here? Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) excludes Russia from all international talks and decision-making processes until the end of the year (maybe Russia should ask for it $27 million of contribution to PACE back?): http://rt.com/news/russia-pace-resolution-boycott-612/http://www.interfax.ru/world/370805 When asked if criticism from US and other countries has any validity, Pushkov replied, "[it’s odd that] nations that participated in several NATO aggressions, those who bombed a European capital and occupied the sovereign state of Iraq have the right to tell us what to do."
Pushkov also commented on his Twitter page:
The Ukrainian delegation are firing national hatred declaring to PACE that “The Russian people will feed you and then cut you up.” And then applause in the auditorium! This is a sham! Like these comments: Hold on a second!!!!
ok... correct me if I am wrong:
Some how I thought EU is about
tolerance
p eace
independenc e
freedom to choose
citizens rights
...s o now they are saying people of Cremea don't have the right to decide what is good for them? EU knows better....
is that hypocracy or am I confused? Actualy, Russia has no blame at all. The west started this, so it's 70% their fault and 30% the fault of Ukrainians for being stupid and not learning on Serbian example. The facts are straight : 1) Us and Eu ousted the legitimatly elected president of Ukraine and installed a puppet regime in Kiev thus the Ex Soviet block and Russians especially lost the motherland of their culture. 2)They where forced to mobilize forces to save their naval base and Taurica and are desperatly trying to save the east territories beeing labeled as agressors..
3)Th ey are beeing sanctioned.
How exactly is this winning ? This is more like mitigating loses and being sanctioned for it as well.
US sends its third military ship into Black Sea: http://ria.ru/world/20140410/1003322464.htmlRussia should really start sending its military ships to Cuba. It's been too long since the last time... |

...this Crimea thing might be a trigger for all other nations to think, hey, we can do that too and that's exactly what they need to do, stop the oppression Technically, it started with NATO's intervention in Kosovo. Back then Russia was telling NATO that they are setting up a dangerous precedent for separatism.  Later this year, there'll be a referendum for independence of Scotland, which UK acknowledges, so there is a good chance will see one more state emerge this year. |

He needs a reason... Victims among the protesters, for example.
That's the sad reality of it. Russia has been keeping to the word of law. Someone has to. Unlike US, Russia cannot deploy its troops abroad unless there is a significant threat to the Russian population living abroad. On a related note: NATO commander says US troops may be deployed to Europe over Ukrainian crisishttp://rt.com/usa/us-troops-nato-ukraine-484/ |

I thought he was in jail. The current Georgian president had accused Mr. Saakashvili of gross incompetence, and mental issues. Who released this psychopath from the jail? His American benefactors? He was not imprisoned, though. He had questioning summons sent to him: http://rt.com/news/saakashvili-questioning-criminal-georgia-569/ |
