Why would us having committed atrocities mean that I am now biased regarding ukraine and russia?
Stop spamming the page with nonsense links to anti western blogs and strange paedophilia sites.
Look, it is well known that the word oligarch is associated with Russia, they took all the wealth after the break up of the soviet union. Google it. It's not a lie, you can investigate within literally 2 seconds.
I am sure some are paedophiles, and they are and will be dealt with. Completely...
Just type oligarch into google, the first result is 'russian oligarch' the term refers to putin and his buddies.
We murdered billions??
I am going to leave now, I could poo on my keyboard and that would make a more rational post than the one you just churned out.
Rapists, molestors? hahaha...
The referendum was illegal, I do not need to be local to know that.
Look at the Scottish referendum to see how civilised folk get things done.
The circumstances of Falklands are unclear and disputed, there are loads of people who can prove you wrong. But that's for another time.
Besides you...
We have held the Falklands continuously since 1833. It is literally nothing like Crimea.
Russia realised it was going to lose it's port on the Black sea and acted swiftly. I think if a referendum had taken place they may well have chosen to become a part of Russia, however at the time they were...
That referendum was the height of illegality. You cannot invade a country and then force a referendum, especially in that timeframe.
It is nothing like the Falklands??
Russian backed rebels, although admittedly the situation is very unclear in that case, I'll reserve judgement until a full...
Okay...you clearly have a chip on your shoulder. Did a western kid beat you up when you were younger?
What about the recent plane blown up? Occupation of Crimea??
Open your eyes.
I am well aware of the LIBOR scandal, that is not the issue at hand.
However if you read my posts I never ranted about it, nor did I mention financial systems of any kind.
My post was perfectly literate, you've gone off on a tangent all by yourself.
Get some sleep mate, you're not making sense.
What are you raving about? The libor scandal was several years ago?
What exactly have I said that is gibberish?
I was referring to european countries, Germany can last for months once the gas is turned off.
It would only hasten diversification.
Are you incapable of having a polite conversation...
Indeed, we cannot let Putin off lightly. I am sure the burgeoning shale industry in the US and Canada can supply Europe if needs be. Many countries have large storage facilities. Furthermore I don't think the UK gets any of its gas from Russia.
Putin is pretty much a dictator and we should know...
Why would it get worse? I think the economy of the EU is marginally greater than or pretty much equal to that of the BRICS.
But yes next year it will probably be greater.
I saw that other thread, it looked horrendous. Didn't want to get involved in that.
Yep I believe so, this is arguably a low point for the EU and yet still it is technically growing. Granted there are a number of major issues, but I think things could be much worse
