Why is Steven Seagal in Ukraine? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) It doesn't seem like a good holiday destination right now He's not in Ukraine, but in Sevastopol. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) After the show, he was presented with a T-shirt propitiating Putin (which he tried on), and a statue of a "stron warrior" (bogatyr'). He thanked the gathered public in Russian. During an interview he agreed that music is the best way to promote peace among peoples.

That's a very interesting read to see what Germany thinks, and not the MSM Germany. Looks like only trade papers have any semblance of sense left. It is also fun to watch how the author walks on the eggshells around the topic of Crimean reunification with Russia, still siding with the official line. I find this quote quite interesting. Especially in the light of new that USA is moving a lot of military hardware to NATO storage bases in Norway, with a stated intent of establishing a large military base right on the Russian border. If the West had judged the then US government which marched into Iraq without a resolution by the UN and without proof of the existence of “WMDs“ by the same standards as today Putin, then George W. Bush would have immediately been banned from entering the EU. The foreign investments of Warren Buffett should have been frozen, the export of vehicles of the brands GM, Ford, and Chrysler banned.
The American tendency to verbal and then also military escalation, the isolation, demonization, and attacking of enemies has not proven effective. The last successful major military action the US conducted was the Normandy landing. Everything else – Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan – was a clear failure. Moving NATO units towards the Polish border and thinking about arming Ukraine is a continuation of a lack of diplomacy by the military means.

That will be interesting. Are you referring about elections to the local parliament? Because Crimea don't have any seats with the Russian Duma yet. And it will be interesting to see which of the mainstream Russian parties will be contesting the elections. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

New parliament will be able to elect crimean representatives in the Federation Council. As far I know, Communist Party, Liberal Democratic Party and United Russia already have local branches there. It's interesting that the most part of dissolved local branch of Party of Regions have joined United Russia.

Crimea wants out of Russian food sanctions https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/crimea-wants-russian-food-sanctions-185439830.htmlWe 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.

Hmm... So the United Russia and KPRF already have a base in Crimea. (If Party of Regions ==> United Russia and KPU ==> KPRF). Would be interesting to see which of the local factions would merge with the LDPR.

Observing the Crimeans' responses on Russian-language forums, I'd say that Polushkin, who suggested buying from Ukraine didn't score any goodwill points from the Crimean population, to put it mildly. He's already been branded as traitor.
Another observation stems from a comment of a Crimean, who draws from prior experience of dealing with Ukrainians: - It's precisely after such statement that Ukraine will shut off to Crimea everything they can.
People also complain that during the Ukrainian occupation of Crimea, the agriculture of the peninsular was systematically destroyed. Crimea was even forbidden producing their own ice cream.

Not only that. Some of the most fertile land were seized by the Kiev regime, and given to the Crimean Tatar immigrants. Right now, almost one-fourth of all the agricultural land in Crimea is under the occupation of the Tatars.
