Meanwhile in Ukraine... Revolution.

Balthazar aren`t the citizen of Ukraine, so I`m!

anatolikostis, why have you not posted here earlier? It would have been interesting to read first-person accounts of events along with images and videos that you could have taken on the spot.

This would be indeed interesting , having a hero member that is also a Ukrainian talking about what's really happening here.
I think you could exclude he is trolling about what he is saying , right?

Hmm... good news from Odessa. Seven people injured overnight at Right Sector checkpoint near Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odessa after an explosion. Probably caused by the Right Sector idiots themselves, as they don't know how to differentiate grenades from grenadine.

Let me ask you this straight:
ARE YOU AN IDIOT?

Good news that people who some "reporter" labeled as being from the other side got injured.
This is good news? Good news for any normal person?

You hate Muslims so much (based on your posts) , why don't you fly to Ukraine and deliver some enhanced hamburgers (with poison) as food aid to those Crimean Tatars if you enjoy that much people suffering.

You're no better than those fascist or communist or nazist or whatsoever if this amuses you or makes you feel good.

He's definitely not an idiot, idiots are incapable to reading and writing.

Based on that , you can claim there are no idiots on this board.
Are you sure of that? )))

So , how do you call a person with interest in blood lust or blood thirstiness?

RT is going to demand apology from Kerry for calling the channel a "propaganda bullhorn":
http://rt.com/news/154760-kerry-attacks-rt-propaganda/

“We are planning to write an official request to the State Department for concrete examples of when RT has distorted facts,” said Simonyan. “It’s unfortunate that the head of the State Department knows so little about what’s going on in Ukraine at the moment."

And a response from Lavrov:
http://rt.com/news/154800-lavrov-kerry-rt-comment/

“Well, It’s not civilized to call the media like that,” he said, adding that he can "understand John Kerry because RT now presents serious competition for CNN and BBC and other media outlets, which some time ago were confident that they had an absolute monopoly and no competition could threaten them."

What sanctions? And wait.. out of the blue they have an effect?

Btw , original article in English:

And it seems that things aren't that bad in this version .

[Nemo1024]

Not so much sanctions, but the lowered use of and trust in Visa and MasterCard.

"We are caught between the politics of the United States and the politics of Russia," Chief Financial Officer Byron Pollitt said on a post-earnings conference call on Thursday.

"We're clearly seeing a drop-off in cross-border volume and sanctions are expected to have some impact on volume."

...

"We have 100 million cards there (in Russia) and it is not in anyone's best interest, inclusive of the Russians, to make those cards not available to their own citizens," Pollitt said.

Are you sure of that? )))

Of course, if you mean a medical term while talking about the idiocy.

There are a few degrees of feeblemindedness aka oligophrenia:

• moronity
• imbecility
• idiocy

Moronity is a common form of oligophrenia, it's characterized by mild feeblemindedness. I suppose that you mean moronity.

By the way, morons are ideal citizens, because they have descriptive type of thinking and incapable to abstract thinking. They don't ask questions, prefering to do what they were told. At the age of 30-40 years moron already indistinguishable from the average citizen. Only tests for abstract thinking can help you to see the difference.

So , how do you call a person with interest in blood lust or blood thirstiness?

Blood lust or blood thirstiness have nothing in common with any degree of oligophrenia. It's quite another thing. The reasons may be different... It can be a character trait or even toxic psychosis.

Thanks for the explanation . Twisted my tongue over that a few times (english is not the first foreign language I learned ,not the second and not the third either) .
But I assume you knew right for the start what I was trying to say , and what my view "idiot" was for.

Whatever it is , enjoying the news that somebody got killed or injured , without even knowing who that person is for sure , is a sign that is time for a check-up.

It seems like neither Russia nor Bitcoin will be able to make a dent into their profits this quarter. And the amount is insane.

Net income attributable to Visa rose 26 percent from a year earlier to $1.60 billion, or $2.52 per Class A share, in the second quarter.
Visa earned $2.20 per share, excluding a tax benefit of $218 million in the quarter.
Total operating revenue increased to $3.16 billion from $2.96 billion.
Visa said it expected full-year revenue to grow 10-11 percent. The company had earlier said its revenue was expected to grow in low double digits in percentage terms.

Lol.. here comes the first blow for the Americans in their bid to impose more sanctions on Russia:

Czech PM says Czechs, Slovaks skeptical about Russia sanctions

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-04-24/news/sns-rt-us-ukraine-crisis-czech-slovakia-20140424_1_russia-sanctions-further-sanctions-czech-pm

The Czech Republic and Slovakia are skeptical about imposing broad-based sanctions on Russia over its actions in Ukraine because it could damage economic growth in Europe, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said on Thursday. Sobotka said after meeting his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico that any decision on further sanctions should be taken at the level of European heads of state and government and the Czechs would speak against "broad-based" sanctions.

ARE YOU AN IDIOT?

Name calling is the first sign that someone is losing an argument. So I welcome that.

Op-Edge on RT with Asia Times correspondent Pepe Escobar, following Kerry's outbreak, calling Rt names.

‘Mr. Kerry, let’s talk about Fox News, BBC and Al-Jazeera bullhorns’
http://rt.com/op-edge/154836-kerry-usa-rt-attack-bullhorns/

RT: Do you think viewers can get an unbiased view of the events in Ukraine solely from Western mainstream media?

PE: Of course not. And this is information war in fact. And the America's absolutely terrified. Because now it's not only CNN all over the world like during the war in Bosnia or during the first Iraq war. Now there is RT, Al-Jazeera, France 24, Deutche Welle, TVE, CCTV, and one day we are going to have Brazilian TV going global, not only in Portuguese. They are terrified of Press TV in Iran, which also broadcasts in English, so they ban Press TV all over the place. And I'm speaking not as an RT employee. I want to make this very clear.

And a reader comment:

Coming out of Kerry's mouth, it means Russia Today is doing the right thing. Nothing scares America more than the truth.

A helicopter belonging to the Ukrainian armed forces has exploded at the Kramatorsk airfield. Can't confirm who or what caused the explosion.

That's "old" news:
http://rt.com/news/154828-kramatorsk-ukraine-airfield-explosion/

Self-defence troops have confirmed they attacked a Ukrainian military helicopter at an airfield in eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk. A plume of smoke can be seen rising over the area in a number of online videos.

“Our people approached the airfield, shot a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in the direction of the helicopter. There was an explosion. [Kiev] militants started shooting and we [protesters] retreated,” a representative from the Kramatorsk self-defence troops told RIA Novosti.

Yanokovich risks following the fate of Milishevich, ending his days in the Hague (if he is ever kidnapped from Russia).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/rolling_news/2014/04/140425_rn_ukraine_icc_investigation.shtml

The Hague started investigating Maidan, and it seems Yanukovich will be to blame, whatever the evidence actually says.

Obama, Holland, Merkel, Cameron and Renzi got together today and decided to introduce even newer sanctions against Russia:

Maybe because today Puting gave green light to creation of Russian National payment system, while Bank "Russia" stopped using dollars.
