fk off Russia.
fk off USA.
Go to your Pacific border if you want to have fisticuffs.
I'd daresay the USA owes its success partly to being a major manufacturing provider during WW2, did rather well out of it, financially speaking.
I am worried about a E.U army if the wrong people have control over it, but it would be nice to tell the Yanks and Ruskies to go be s in their own backyard.

... and the world immediately throws the legal book at Russia, not to mention a completely unsustainable fiscal responsibility toward the conquered territories.

Far better to support the so called "separatists" carving up chunks of Ukraine which can self-govern (as long as the candidates are pro-Kremlin of course), while maintaining a veneer of plausible deniability
I don't deny there are some units of the russian army in Ukraine, but those are mainly intelligence, spetznaz and such. To say there are thousands of them is overexaggeration. There are more than enough russian non-army volunteers and Donbass natives ready for fight.

I think that is guaranteed hehe

Economic expansionism and absorption at all costs (Greece) has proven they are untrustworthy and greedy.

Giving them an army would be asking for trouble. Germany at the helm of an army steamrolling beyond the boundaries of continental Europe... again.

Apparently Moscow have said journalists should wait for an exiting announcement at the weekend.
Maybe he's going to marry Barry Sotero and settle down in the Hamptons with their 3 adopted kids, Dave, Andrea and the French one.

"Large-scale intervention in eastern Ukraine by regular Russian troops began last August"

dude get real, russian army would get to Kiev in a day only if they wanted so, actually ukrainian army wouldn't even fight against them (see Crimea for example)
If Volodya hadn't provoked the nutters to revolt and then provided huge material and personnel support, the counter-revolution would have ended before it began.

Erm, Formula E race will run across and loop back just near where that fellow was shot dead.

Classically the prep work for these races is starting 2-3 months ahead of the date, so 6th June isn't so far away.

And they tend to have done a lot of preparation work ahead of these events. So ground works, resurfacing, removal of street side furniture, erecting new permanent and temporary structures, and all the concrete barriers and fencing stuff they tend to bring in about 6 weeks before the race itself.


What I see here is very similar to what you'd see this time ahead of the other FE events, all of which I've kept a very close eye on day to day for the months up to the events... just in this it's nicely coinciding with a political event and other funny goings on.

In isolation yes it looks suspect, but relative to the other FE events so far it just looks normal. Had the chap not been shot it'd not have raised a single eyebrow.

It will be announced tomorrow that Vladimir Putin is to be the next Top Gear lead presenter.

No confirmation yet that Clarkson is taking over Russia, but James May has been seen wearing that furry hat again.

There's a concert/performance being held there on Tuesday to mark the first anniversary of the annexation of Crimea, what you see is the preparation for that. Allegedly.

I'd assume there is always something going on in an area just off Red Square.

A concert this month, FE next, there is always gonna be 'suspect' activity if you go looking for it in isolation of knowing what is normal in that area.

So, serious question.

The moneymen of Russia must be plotting to get rid of Putin soon, he's jeopardising their wealth. The moguls have never had it so good, do they really want Putin’s ambitions to get in the way of their freedom, London houses, football clubs etc?

Will Putin be asked, forced, to leave?
My prophecy is coming true!
