No one can buy a country.
They are broke so what? They will change maybe their currency and start from beginning,
but i never heard that someone bought a country.

btw. Argentina was also broke a few years ago, and look now.

That didn't stop Germany from trying a few years ago, when Merkel offered to take over a few of the Greek islands as part of debt repayment.

The following tidbit slipped my attention.

From Lada's article:
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/greferendum-domino-effect-revolution-coming-the-future-of-europe-and-eurasia/

Quote
Last week, Finland denied visas to Russian Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin and a number of the Russian Duma deputies, basically the top elected politicians in the country. They were scheduled to attend a session of the OSCE in Helsinki. The reason given for the visa denial is that these people are under sanctions due ‘Russia’s annexation of Crimea.’ The scandal is huge and growing, with many in Russia demanding return sanctions against Finland.  Finland, which prides itself in its democracy – again, when it’s convenient – acted illegally. The thing is that Naryshkin and others cannot be banned from attending international forums in any country. The ban only applies to their private trips. By banning entire Russian delegation, EU effectively shuts the mouth of those who have a dissenting opinion.

Quote
...

The national referendum announced by the ruling Syriza party on the future of Greece is to take place on July 5th. Greek PM Tsipras urges people to vote ‘no’ to creditor demands, in order to improve his negotiating position. It’s pretty clear how the people will vote: NO to austerity and creditor demands.

The fact that creditors didn’t give an extension to Greece so people could vote, instead squeezing the country on June 30th, is very telling. I wonder, what happened to the supposed ‘democracy’ the West is so proud of? How democratic is it to sabotage the Greek national referendum – a true voice of the people?

First, it’s clear double standards: Greece, a member of the EU, is treated as an unloved, unwanted child by the EU and IMF. IMF, of course, represents the interests of the US and EU, where US rules supreme.

At the same time, IMF’s Christine Lagarde tells us that Ukraine, not a member of the EU, will continue receiving IMF loan tranches, even if it defaults on sovereign debt it owes Russia. This is in direct violation of the IMF laws.


So, the West is now in violation of both self-professed cornerstones of its society: democracy and law.

Do you know how empires die? That’s how – they implode on themselves, confused and in denial. We are observing a slow disintegration of the Western (US-EU) empire. This is the time when only the blind and the unscrupulous don’t see that the king is naked.

...

You know my prediction about Greece: it will exit the EU by 2017. In my original prediction, which you can find in Secret Connection: Russian Gas to Turkey-Greek Election-EU Breakup (LadaRayLive 6) and my FT articles, I said that the reason it will take some time is because the relationship with the EU is so complex that it will take some time to untangle.

We already see that the energy is moving in the direction of Grexit. But it won’t happen yet. Greece and EU will be delaying it for now. The most important mark for Grexit will be the completion of Turkish Stream. Grexit will happen close to that date – this is the date to watch!

...

For the next few years, the make-or-break moments of reckoning to watch are: completion of Nord Stream-2, Turkish Stream, discontinuing of gas transit to EU via Ukraine, and a change of power in Ukraine, accompanied with gradual weakening of the US. The timeline for all this is 2016-2019, with most events taking place between 2017-2019. US weakening will continue after 2019.

But neither do I condone the present in-your-face propaganda of something, which is - again - a private matter of the people concerned. Just like in the 50's, so now this should remain within the privacy of the people's bedrooms.
They used to say the same about interracial relationships, until we realized that was awful bigotry. These types of relationships were were illegal in the USA until 1967's Supreme Court Loving vs. Virginia.

Both heteros and gays alike should be able to fuck outside in public parks, in full view of your children. Sex causes no harm to anyone, it only offends theists, and they need to shut the fuck up about what offends them because NOBODY CARES, NOT EVEN YOUR GOD OR YOUR DOG CARES.

It's a figure of speech, that you took literally. I meant that it's their private matter, not to be imposed onto others. Oh and heteros copulating in a public park is a bad thing as well. I am not interested in seeing how others do it, and so see no reason why others would want to display their horizontal dances to the general public.



The question of LGBT is pretty simple. But just like with any topic, where a powerful group pushes through it's agenda, this too is muddied and made to look more complicated.

Let's look at it from logical and biological perspective, setting aside emotions.

Let's start with the following premise. In the vast majority of cases, a man is sexually attracted and aroused by a woman, and a woman is attracted to and aroused by a man. This has a clear biological function of procreation, of getting healthy descendants. Any pleasure derived from the act is a boichemical form or reward (with a substance related to morphine) for an energy-consuming act. Any felling of attraction when being with someone of the opposite sex is there to ensure that the couple stay long enough together to raise their descendants, providing them with enough energy and life-knowledge.

What about the case when a man is attracted to a man or a woman is attracted to a woman? Biologically it's a dead-end with a built-in self-destruct mechanism. No descendants are coming after such specimens. And whatever permutations in their gene compositions that lead to cause such behaviour are removed from the gene pool.

What about cases, when a man or a woman are sexually attracted to a child? Not much different from the above, really, when it comes to basic biochemistry. Some groups in, e.g. Holland are working on legalising paedophily, which would expand LGBT into LGBTP. The biggest difference is that a child, who most probably has no deviation from the norm, gets forced onto itself a certain behaviour damaging/reprogramming said child.

For the same reason, adoption of children by LGBT is damaging for the child involved. Even if it's not violated physically, it's worldview, which is in the stage of fragile construction, is violated psychologically.

Concerns About Russia, Iran, North Korea

While the document notes Russia’s contributions in some security areas such as counternarcotics and counterterrorism, it also points to that nation’s willingness to use force to achieve its goals.

“It also has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbors,” the strategy states. “Russia’s military actions are undermining regional security directly and through proxy forces.”

But Russia is not the only country of concern in the strategy document.

...

Well, and USA is all hugs and cuddles.  Roll Eyes

Also, notice how double-speak is used here. Russian military sits within Russian borders, yet it "undermining regional security directly and through proxy forces".
At the same time USA kills people in Donbass through proxies and occupied all of the Baltics, so that statement is what USA sees in itself and wants to project onto others, even in the face of any facts supporting their claims.

Humorous value aside, this is not a mistranslation. Smiley
The article speaks about "ВМФ", an abbreviation for "Военно-Морской Флот" - literally "Military-Sea(faring) Fleet".

Ukraine inherited its Navy from USSR, but it was in the state of neglect in the subsequent 25 years, just like the rest of Ukraine. When Crimea reunited with Russia, part of the Ukrainian Navy vessels that were stationed in Sevastopol, were towed to Odessa (they could not go under their own steam), and part were abandoned as scrap metal as they were not seaworthy, for Russia to deal with them.
I'm not going to disagree with you because I'm at most quarter-literate in the languages used there.

Nota bene: In the linked article I see the phrase "военно-морские силы (ВМС) Украины", which would be more like "war(time)-sea(faring) forces". Wikipedia shows the proper Ukrainian translation as "Військово-морські сили".

So if not mistranslation, it could be called "really sloppy reporting".

From the military point of view the sensible deployment would require cooperation of Byelarus because of the geographical constraints of the in-land waterways navigation.

Edit: One more link about the military importance of the "landlocked navy" there during the 20th century wars:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinsk_Marshes


First of all: I stand corrected. The article does say "ВМС" .

Губернатор Одесской области Михаил Саакашвили заявил, что в здании Дома профсоюзов на Куликовом поле в Одессе будет размещено командование военно-морских сил (ВМС) Украины

But we are still in the hair-splitting territory. Both terms would refer to the seafaring fleet/force. So the translation as "Navy" is fully correct.

You appear to be mixing up Ukraine and Belarus geographically. Belarus is landlocked. Ukraine, though the ports of Odessa and Mariupol, has access to the Black Sea and further to the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

Also, the linguistic difference between Ukrainian and Russian is often less than between some of the Norwegian dialects or between German and Austrian.

Ukrainian Navy? That thing still exists? A year ago, I heard that 80% of the Naval servicemen defected to the Russian side, and the rest simply retired as Crimea was merged with the Russian Federation. They re-created the Ukrainian Navy from the scratch? Are they using fishing boats in the place of frigates?
It is probably mistranslation to English from one of the Slavic languages.

The river-boat flotilla operations were (and probably still are) important in a wetland areas crisscrossed with many rivers and canals.

Nemo, Poroshenko is a puppet who is simply following the orders given by oligarchs such as Ihor Kolomoyskyi. That's why I made the suggestion to make him the de jure president (he is already the de facto president).

Well, don't forget, that Poroshenko is first and foremost and oligarch himself, and the only one who managed to multiply his fortune. He does take orders - from US State Dep, but not from Kolomojskij, who is his rival.

In no way do I condone what was done in the Great Britain during the 50's-80's to people for what is their private matter (a genius, Alan Turing is one such victim).

But neither do I condone the present in-your-face propaganda of something, which is - again - a private matter of the people concerned. Just like in the 50's, so now this should remain within the privacy of the people's bedrooms.

What I also personally think, is that LGBT is a deviation from the norm - either hormonal or mental, which is not harmful to the society if it is not forced upon it. It is neither harmful to the affected individual, save for the individual's ability to procreate, which is not bad given the circumstances. So LGBT should just be ignored and left for the affected individuals to sort out for themselves.

Now Porosenko is hearing voices: that there is "children's laughter" on the streets of Slavjansk. The same Slavjansk, which was raised to the ground last year by the Ukro-Nazis, killing a lot of children and other civilians, and forcing many more to flee for their lives. If Poroshenko is hearing any children's laughter, it's either coming from the graves of the killed Russian children

Poroshenko's schizophrenia is getting worse. And at the same time, another schizophrenic (Mikheil Saakashvili) is troubling the civilians in Odessa, a few hundred kilometers away from Donetsk. Perhaps NATO needs to institutionalize these two mental patients and make Ihor Kolomoyskyi the president of (what is left of) Ukraine.

Saakashvili found new use to the site of the Odessa Massacre - the former Trade union house. In his vision it'll make a spiffing HQ of the Ukrainian Navy - after Porosenko said that Odessa will become the base town of the Ukrainian Navy:

A few days ago, Porosenko either made a Freudian slip of a specific disclosure of his masters' intent, by saying that there will NOT be peace in Donbass at any cost.

Now Porosenko is hearing voices: that there is "children's laughter" on the streets of Slavjansk. The same Slavjansk, which was raised to the ground last year by the Ukro-Nazis, killing a lot of children and other civilians, and forcing many more to flee for their lives.

I wrote before that it feels like an open season on Russian values/assets/capital. Everyone has a feeling that Russia owes them a lot, while denying vehemently that Russia herself has a lot of claims for compensations for what was done to it over the previous century alone.

Now, Georgia joined the pack og hyaenas, demanding from Russia over €70 million as a moral compensation "for deportation of its citizens" in 2006:
http://www.vz.ru/news/2015/7/3/754225.html

First EU with $50 billion compensation for the thieves and tax-evaders, and now Georgia. Seems they are vying for the title of most absurd reason.

What about Russia asking a compensation from Georgia for the millions of Russian murdered by the hand of Gzhugashvili? And what about Russia investigating a probe into legality of Russia taking on all foreign debt of the former Soviet republics, and demanding some hefty multi-billion compensations for shouldering that debt alone.

In the meantime, the USA has shown its hand in dealing with the Yokos charade. The US embassy in Russia delivered a note - no, not about declaration of war, but close - they sue Russia and demand to see it in court, demanding acknowledgement of the unrecognised by RF Hague court decision of paying $50 billion of "compensation"  to the Yukos' thieves and tax evaders.

Most notably, while the news were first published today, the note was delivered... on the fateful day, the 22nd of June - on the very same day, when once, in 1941 another ambassador delivered another note, which declared the start of aggression against USSR.

Putin’s Gambit: Germany To Replace Ukraine as Russian Gas Transiter

Quote
...

The top event of last week was the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, yet what happened there went almost unnoticed in the manipulated Western media, busy covering up the new French NSA spying scandal with a fresh dollop of Russia-bashing. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the moment the news that NSA spied on three French presidents broke up, French papers filled with anti-Russian propaganda, blaming Russia for not observing the Minsk peace agreements. Similar thing happened in Germany, where the public is still reeling from last year’s massive NSA spying scandal. Obviously, the news filled with bad Russia and bad Putin, their convenient boogeyman, are meant to distract from the real news.

It should now be clear beyond the shadow of a doubt who controls ALL of the world’s media, except some news outlets in Russia, China and a few other countries. The fact that French and German media immediately jumped to protect their real Transatlantic employer once the scandal against such employer broke out – speaks volumes. The prime directive of the Western MSM is to divert the sheeple’s attention and pull the wool over their eyes every time their puppeteer is in trouble.

What happened in St. Pete was sensational, and therefore, it should have been the stuff of front pages. Instead, it was shyly relegated to the back pages, or avoided altogether.

But at the same time as US and Brussels continued selling their naive populace the stale story of Russia’s isolation – and Russian aggression – a virtual fight over who would become a bigger and better partner for Russian gas transit was taking place in St. Petersburg.

What invasion to Georgia?? There was a UN peacekeeping mandat.

Bryant should have put "invasion" in quotation marks. When Russian peacekeepers pushed the Georgian forces out of South Ossetia, there was a lot of howling about "Russian invasion of Georgia" by the Western MSM pressitutes.



" Donetsk, Kharkov, Lugansk - way to Russia."

--- 66% of prediction Smiley Smiley Smiley

The OP should have added Odessa to that list as well. The city was founded by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great in 1794. It was later one of the first free ports in Russia between 1819 and 1858. After its heroic resistance to the Nazi German/Romanian invaders during WWII, Odessa was one of the few initial Soviet cities to receive the title of City-Hero, along with Leningrad, Stalingrad and Sevastopol.

I have a feeling that the resistance to Nazism in Odessa is something we are going to see more of in the future, though the way back to Russia will be a thorny one, fraught with many obstacles from the West. The massacre of last year is not forgotten.

A thing to remember, are the American interests: the freight port of Iljichovsk (named after Vladimir Iljich Lenin - what an irony) near Odessa, was bought by Americans.
