Um, so it's Russia's fault that it's being brought to its knees as soon as it tries to lift its head and throw off the shackles? Nice logic.

Russia's state-controlled energy giant Rosneft has asked the Russian government for a $42bn (£25.2bn) loan, as it feels the impact of Western sanctions.

The government said it will consider the request from Igor Sechin, head of Rosneft, in the next two weeks.

Sanctions on Russia have limited Rosneft's ability to raise funds.

Rosneft has requested the money from the National Wealth Fund, which finances state pensions.

Thanks. Forgot about that!

You only have one question to answer, and you won't answer it.

How many Uro do you own?

Be "truthful".

A true blessing for those coming from 3rd world and get free education and free health care.

The Ukrainian army seems to be deliberately inflicting civilian casualties, to force the local population out of their residential areas. The are trying to replace the native population with immigrants from the West. Already happening in Slavyansk.

What is there to talk about before the debt is paid?

no way, give up your hope! there is no upward move, bitcoin is going to nowhere but down!
1m bid vs 1 sell = still going down

the final capitulation incoming!

Well, the BTC price was basically made by 2 or 3 (first two belonged together, i guess) giant dumps of 5-9k BTC. It will take some time until it goes up again since a lot of those who had low orders filled will sell off during a recovery. Remember that it went diown to 450 USD in a single shot, as all the alts a "long-time-low" after almost breaking 700 USD.

NXT: I did not follow this shit, did they rollback anything or manipulate the Blockchain in any way? NXT aside BTER looks surprisingly like business as usual.

Rgearding BC/all alts: Not much movement due to BTC and NXT, where there is volume people are dumping like mad. Both DRK and CLOAK will soon be back to their pre-pump levels, we already went through that shit. It's hard to believe that is it actually happening, but that's how it is, even DRK will likely go back to as low as 0.0014 as it was before it took off.

Mainly for the milk products, as supplies from Kuban' are insufficient:

We requested that Crimea be excluded from the general economic sanctions that Russia has introduced given that we are in a transition period and that we are still like Siamese twins with mainland Ukraine, especially concerning milk and dairy products," Polyushkin was quoted as saying by Russian news agency RIA-Novosti.

if it was that easy why did Tim Draper and hedgefunds/banks bid/spend nearly $20m on 30,000 bitcoins when they could just collapse it and buy them all for $5 million?

No, all they need is a promise on paper to deliver said urea. Anything that's "backed" today is merely a social contract. The dollar is backed by debt, which means nothing more than a promise to pay that dollar with more debt. In this case the URO is backed by a promise to deliver a tangible item. The definition of a backed currency.

Goodbye 490's, was nice to see you downhill

"I hate only the NATO war machine" well you have the right to hate whomever you want even if it's completely unreasonable. question is why your hatred excuses russia bullshit moves? it's not NATO that has invaded ukraine and annexes part of it's territory. it's not NATO soldiers killing people on ukraine/russia border. unreasonable fear of nuclear ICBMs seems a very shady argument here.
