Fixed that for you. The EU "aids" are a scam because they are all loans with strings like higher taxes, austerity or "free market" for foreign goods attached. It is better if Greece just default and exit the Eurozone because no one will invest in their country when it has all those EU bailout...

Ukraine should go ahead and vote that party into power. Surely it couldn't be any worse than all the other crap parties they have.

China will probably appeal the ruling again and stall for more time. After that they can still get around the ruling by other ways without violating WTO rules. The Chinese is already shutting down and consolidating their RE mines as well as cracking down on illegal ones so that they can control...

I would rather go bald than have that butt ugly haircut.

Even without this fiasco in Ukraine, Poland would have done it eventually. That country never made it a secret that the only reason they are not going 100% anti-Russia was because of economic concerns (gas) and nothing else. It's like how those Baltic states only like Russia when it comes to...

It doesn't matter how "bad" you think Putin is (I don't like him that much either, but I hate a lot of politicians :sick:)...a lot of people like him, Russia, and Russians in Ukraine. Yatsenyuk was stupid not to realize that and now it's too late.

He's caring enough that he doesn't need a coup to come to power, that's for sure...although that's wasn't even what I was talking about. I'm talking about how the current Ukrainian government seems to be oblivious to the fact that half the country are either Russian or Pro-Russia who don't...

The first decent thing the current PM ever since he got his position. This should have been the very first words that come out of his mouth after he got power and we wouldn't have this huge mess right now. Stupid guy couldn't even fake caring of the citizens and people are expected to obey him? Lol

If they put a yes or no referendum it wouldn't have changed anything. Majority of people voted to join Russia! Even if they didn't they would just keep having referendums to get as far away from Kyiv's control as possible because the interim government is not competent enough to earn the trust...

Time for the US to stop exporting trees and oil to Russia, that'll learn em.

The second option on the referendum is all all questions rolled into one. It's basically worded that way to leave more options if the people votes not to join Russia. If the majority votes to go back to the 1992 status then there will immediately be another referendum with more choices like...

French Ambassador: !@#$%^&* Chinese Ambassador: "Solar Panels" :laugh:

My f**king horrible government just announced that it is giving away my hard earned tax money in the tunes of >$200 million to an unelected ultra-right wing government that came to power through force...that haven't even shown the slightest inclination of how to actually run a country. What...

Just last year Poland confiscated half of its citizens' private pension fund in order to pay down its debt. And then transferred more into state control just last month (to pay off more debt later). Poland pension reform reversal highlights public disillusion - FT.com Poland also massively...

That's only true if EU countries are willing to sacrifice their own economy to drag Russia down with them. I doubt that they would do something like that just to rescue a country that they have to pay more to bailout, especially considering how Greece and Cyprus are not remotely close to being...

All Ukraine / Russia needs to do to defuse the situation is for Ukraine to disband the current nationalistic government and install a temporary moderate government. All they need is a government that won't start raving about banning Russian language, cutting all trade ties or going nuclear...

Taxing luxury items heavily is one thing that I believe the Chinese government does right. It's one of those taxes that doesn't really affect frugal ordinary citizens, and allow the government to take back at least some of the money lost through corruption. Corrupted officials can't resist...

I have no idea why Ukraine wants to join the EU so badly. I guess watching Greece and Cyprus citizens having their savings robbed to pay off the shark loans from the EU wasn't enough to scare them. The country that recovered from its financial crisis the best was the one who gave the EU bankers...

Lol, every Chinese I know here in Canada that isn't from Mainland China (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.) say the same thing. Same as the middle class Chinese that are actually working and learning here. Some of them even say that those wealthy Chinese are just getting corrupt money...

Getting foreign money to buy houses and using that money to consume stuff made overseas...why does this sound so familiar? Oh that's right, it's called a housing bubble, like the one from 2008. You do know that China is currently having a lot of problems with too much dead money not invested...
