Yes, that'll be it. Fracking. Christ on a f*cking bike. | | | |
The Road to World War on 00:13 - Mar 18 with 3594 views | DwightYorkeSuperstar | Crimea will join Russia. Ukraine will join the E.U in time. America, the United Kingdom and other key countries will say they have placed sanctions on Russia and this will all die down, just like the Georgia incident. If anybody thinks a war will develop between Russia and any world super power then they are a lunatic. A war between Russia and Ukraine is the worst thing that is likely to happen, and I doubt that will even arise. [Post edited 18 Mar 2014 0:24]

I have been spouting how bad the Eu is for ages. There are some europhiles on here who won't have it, but the EU is a mess and it's causing many more problems than it will ever solve. They stuck their noses into the Ukraine and stirred all this up. The EU is expansionist and (surprise surprise) Russia doesn't like it!! And the West is calling the Crimean referenda illegal, could that be because they don't like the outcome. Lets face it, the Eu is only happy to allow a vote if it's likely to go their way. And then (think ireland) if it goes against they throw sh*t loads of money at it until they get the result they want. Would anyone be surprised that the cold war never actually stopped, it just went underground? The EU and the U.S working to undermine Russia by destabilising former Soviet satellite states. I know it's a conspiracy theory, but with what's happened, does it sound so mad? | |

I don t think we d like it really and would take action. We'll it s the same situation in reverse. That war hawk tat Senator John McCain is out there pushing for Moldova and Georgia to hurry up and join NATO so we can build bases next to Russia and totally nullify their nuclear capability.

No, there is a clear desire to stick with Russia in both eastern Ukraine and the Crimea. Yanukovich headed straight for the east when opposition threatened him and Yulia Tymoshenko was being held there. Crimea had a referenda and on the assumption it wasn't fixed, recorded a landslide in favour of Russia. | |

The Road to World War on 12:31 - Mar 18 with 3222 views | Lord_Bony | I'm afraid the Eu and the Us missed the boat. They should have encouraged a fair election there and if the country voted for a pro Eu government then no way could Putin have snatched the Crimea from under their noses and we would have had the country as a whole. Instead they fecked it up as usual by covertly overthrowing an elected president in a coup and installing a pro EU puppet yesman to do the bidding of the west.Over 5 billion dollars have been given to these new thugs with Nazi tendencies to rule Ukraine. So it is an illegal,illegitimate government that we a re funding and supporting there. Putin has basically pulled off a master move in this chess game and looks like he's going to get the east Ukraine as well....all the best bits...well now be left with the crap and thousands coming here to live,that's not counting the billions in bailouts we'll have to fork out to help them. Well done the EU again. | |

We have seen before how people the west has put in power have turned on them. Remember when Osama Bin Laden was unheard of, he received backing from the west. And we all know how that turned out. Ukraine has nuclear weapons, that is scary. | |

Yeah just like the Al Qaeda and Jihad extremists we ve supplied with weapons in Syria. It will come back to haunt us soon enough. [Post edited 18 Mar 2014 13:03]

Crimea is in the Eastern Ukraine: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&channel=np&q=map+ukrain As for the western part, most of that formerly belonged the family of my old mate from Poland Maciej Radziwill, if what he told me was correct. Very nice bloke indeed. Perhaps the best solution would be to restore his family's old dukedom and make him supreme ruler. | |

Crimea does not represent all of east Ukraine. As for the western part, what does it matter who used to own what? What relevance is a long forgotten dukedom to what's happening today? Western Ukraine would go with the EU, the rest with Russia. maybe Putin wouldn't argue over that, seeing as the east holds nearly everything worth arguing over. | |

The Road to World War on 12:50 - Mar 18 with 3185 views | Lord_Bony | I think you ll find the Crimea is southern most part of the Ukraine almost an island...it's about 3 miles from Russia and they will build a bridge to connect the two ports soon. Ukraine is cut in two east and west,traversed by the Driporo river. The East is the powerful,rich part full of industry and resources. The west is a poor run down shithole full of used up nuclear power reactors and millions of people in despair with no future....that s the bit we ll be getting....lol | |

The relevance is that Maciej's dukedom was confiscated by the Soviets after WWII. As such the very notion of Ukraine is a thoroughly modern construct. A bit like Yugoslavia, and look what happened there. | |
