Meanwhile in Ukraine... Revolution.

[Nemo1024]

Looks like this night will be the night of long knives in the South-East.
The coup government in Kiev that overthrew legitimate government of Ukraine now raises the punishment for coup actions to 15 years in prison. It also is on a determined path to suppress the South-East with extreme violence. People in Donetsk and other towns are pulling to the centre, preparing for a siege. May of the defenders are Afghan veterans, who are prepared to fight back to the end.

In the meantime, in Odessa, Ultra-nationalists are hunting down people wearing Georgy (Victory) bands, and swastika was drawn on the Holocaust memorial.

In light of this Kiev government prepared and ratified an amnisty for the currently imprisoned criminals, releasing every 5th inmate (about 25000 people).

worst case scenario the euro value falls for 20% and that's it

20% is more than enough. Have you ever heard about market derivatives?

iirc the average leverage on French banks is like 53 so make the numbers, a 20% drop will wipe out everyone who has above 5 leverage that is more like a blood rain

This is getting interesting: in Lviv (Western Ukraine!), there is some unrest as people are dissatisfied with the new prosecutor, appointed by the coup government_:

Video of fighting in Kiev Rada shows the true nature of the evil leaders of the coup. The Ukrainian people should hang their heads with shame for allowing thugs and criminals to seize power. As for Kerry, he is just pouring petrol on the fire. Wake up Ukraine before the USA destroys your country with EU help. Dont vote for the Chocolate King because he will turn into a Chocolate Samovar and melt under pressure.

EU helped Greece as no one else, Greece brought it on itself..

The EU destroyed Greece with all the stupid reforms which were forced upon the Greek government and the people. Greece would have been better without the Euro.

oh please prove this stupid theory

the Greeks raised loans to repay their previous loans which they had to pay because they raised a too big loan
the EU had nothing to do with it

worst case scenario the euro value falls for 20% and that's it

20% is more than enough. Have you ever heard about market derivatives?

I just try to point out your fallacies and misunderstandings - I have no intentions to argue with you and this is totally off topic, end of discusion. Back to Ukraine.

I'm just saying it would devaluete it but not kill it

Eu dint let them default, remember papandreus did asked for a referendum and he was quickly removed by EU even if it was elected and replaced by a unelected head and same story happen on Italy with Mossi

You know what I tell you ?
Russian ... what they 've done there - is a violation of international law !
American Foreign Minister John Kerry famously said : " Under the false
pretext to attack the country to push their own interests. "
- Excuse me, can I still hear this sentence ?
- Yes, of course , so: " Under the false pretext
attack on the country to push their ... "
[ Title: " These weapons Saddam ! "]
Fuck you!
- Language of Diplomacy ...
slightly injured in an era propaganda. When all the points
the war, most willingly listen accursed voice
ie everything that reveals to us the Russian secret service .
On the lips of the imperialists , the members of Western governments
there flies freely thinking about how
they imagine the future of Ukraine , or
who actually shot on Independence .
German media usually do not really know about it ,
because they are too busy with their shortwave
radios searching for those which news that
confirm their prejudices about the " evil Putin ."
So lush color bloom comparison with Hitler.
But comparisons with Hitler should not forget that not everyone who is lame - Goebbels .
Needless to say that Frank-Walter Steinmeier , our new Minister -
Best German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, from the time
[previous minister , until recently ]
Steinmeier , our four diplomat already
Munich Security Conference ordered
democratically elected president of Ukraine , he
should immediately recognize all the demands of the demonstrators .
Yes, it has a long tradition in our country , we have every protest
movement, which has no time to hide, is recognized immediately .
After it warms up conflicts and good for our arms exports .
Actually , it is unpleasant :
Our foreign policy has been suffering from " premature escalation ."
But what impact has our minister !
There a few months the people stand in the cold, then a shot is fired , the blood flows ,
and only when approaching danger speech has Steinmeier
all quickly come to the table and sign .
Frank- Walter Steinmeier, also signed the agreement ,
yes he did all signs !
I'm afraid to even imagine how many magazines he had already subscribe !
And then he enthusiastically shaking hands of the Nazis from the party "Freedom", and wonders
that this agreement has been violated through this dark hour rabble .
I think it's worthy of the Guinness World Records :
just five weeks after the renovation of German foreign policy
Nazis sat in the Ukrainian government .
It has never worked out so well to see how the West instrmentaliziruet
country if the new globalized trade and entertainment center .
IMF ...
IMF Yanukovych suggested several billion , only when
provided that it will raise gas prices by 40% to the market level .
But this could not accept even a greedy jackass as he ;
and immediately at full power unwound International PR.
Then you should not be confused , this is not some conspiracy theory
it is common practice conspiratorial .
There's frost on the Maidan months their asses demonstrators and that they will receive as a result ?
Higher gas prices !
Well, yes, dear Ukrainians , this is the side effects of freedom.
Actually, I would like here to protect Putin
it may also have interest,
he can also get out of yourself if NATO , breaking all the promises chosen closer ;
but then I saw that his friend , Schroeder, it is protected ,
with remarkable argument : " I did then, too
bombed Serbia in violation of international law ,
and so now do not have to face [ Putin ] finger . "
Well known, Schroeder has always shown the middle finger to international law .
but now
I'll have to change his mind , because if history has taught us anything , and then this :
if Schroeder finds something right , it's right can not be .
- And so ...
Sorry, you do not see what else I 'm saying?
- Excuse me, Mr. Utof , of course, we find it very important that
as you cast your citizens in granite satirical statement.
- In the granite did not cast !
- That's right, and I mean , finish with their
florid phrases, we want to finally rolled to head!
- Exactly!
- Why not , we have here the guillotine.
- Oh, I can not look at the blood !
- Do not worry, we have it from the society " Humane decapitation ."
Now I want to hear your suggestions . Who are you going next ?
- Yanukovych Yanukovych !
- What's he charged with ?
- He oppressed his people !
- Yes, exactly !
- But he was chosen by his people ...
- Yes , the OSCE is also said ...
- Come on, if we were to get rid of every democratically elected representative
who do not like our people , then we would have to go back to the polls ...

 

On a sad note:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d55B3OGLj-Q
These medics describe how medicaments and medical equipment was extracted from hospitals and driven to "remote storage" in huge volumes, while they desperately needed said medicaments to treat the wounded from Maidan. They wonder if that was done specifically to increase the number of dead and to escalate the situation.

German mainstream media (as the rest of the West) was portraying Yanukovich as a monster who ordered to slaughter his people, while  the footage above disproves that notion, showing that the police was under strict orders not to react to provocations on to maintain defensive positions.

Putin is getting good support from the general public in various EU nations such as the UK and Germany. I have noticed opinion polls showing strong voice against any EU intervention.

[Monetizer]

Why does everyone frown down on many of the Ukrainian states turning to Russia when just a few weeks ago everyone wanted them to turn their backs on Russia and move to the EU?

[Nemo1024]

http://rt.com/business/putin-ukraine-economy-gas-353/

Russia can’t continue to prop up Ukraine’s faltering economy, and this responsibility should fall on the US and EU, which have recognized the authorities in Kiev but not yet given one dollar to support the economy, President Putin said.

Georgia's ex-general Tristan Citelashvili stated that snipers shooting to kill on Midan were from Georgian ex-president's Saakashvili's guard, and that he knows the names of those four Georgian snipers:

And Russian jokes the day:

In Oval Office:
- Mister President, we have a good and a bad news.
- Start with the good one.
- Crimea is back with Ukraine.
- Yess!!! We've finally pushed those Russians! And the bad?
- The whole of Ukraine joined Russia.

 

200 years ago everyone studied French, and we reached Paris.
70 years ago everyone studied German, and we reached Berlin.
Now everyone studies English... Maybe they shouldn't try their chances...

Is Saakashvili still alive? I am sad that the Ukrainians haven't learned anything from what happened to Saakashvili. The US used him, and later dumped him. The same will happen to all those anti-Russia types in Kiev.

Not just alive, but also kicking. He was on Maidan, giving flaming speeches not long before the violence from the "protesters" started. Coincidence?
