Ukraine Crisis / Russian Invasion

[nemisis]

world has too much people.

we are overdue for a war.

do your part, drink lannate

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Wars don't even contribute that much to population reduction. For real results kill yourself or die of disease.

[RIPEBREDFRUIT]

this time the US really should not get deeply involved, I do wonder if the average American family is willing and ready to send their families back to he front lines to sacrifice their lives for something that will never effect them.

On March 24, well-known Russian astrologists

Stopped reading from that point on. Especially since Dr Richard Dawkins has made it crystal clear that people who believe in astrology, the devil and the earth being flat/5000 years old are mentally ill.

and to add, Russia will not fight the USA or vice versa and even if they do they will not use Nuclear weapons.

If you were a young Russian male who survived WWII, you would have been spoiled for choice when picking a bride.

Yeah now compare that to the world population of billions and then compare that figure from those that die from diseases. War is a drop in d bucket.

No I'm not. These are stats just for cancer. Throw in heart disease, influenza and the stats skew even more in favour of diseases being more impactful on mortality rates than wars over the years.

Here are stats just for the United States:

Those numbers for ONE year far outnumber those due to wars in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan over the last decade.

I am disturbed by this comment. You really don't know Russians.

[Dizzy28]

Well the sham election has concluded and Crimea going and join the Russian Federation

Most anticlimactic pronouncement wrt this issue had to be the following though:

Russia can turn U.S. to radioactive ash: Kremlin-backed journalist

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Kremlin-backed journalist issued a stark warning to the United States about Moscow's nuclear capabilities on Sunday as the White House threatened sanctions over Crimea's referendum on union with Russia.

"Russia is the only country in the world that is realistically capable of turning the United States into radioactive ash," television presenter Dmitry Kiselyov said on his weekly current affairs show.

Behind him was a backdrop of a mushroom cloud following a nuclear blast.

Kiselyov was named by President Vladimir Putin in December as the head of a new state news agency whose task will be to portray Russia in the best possible light.

Yeah. Met a few down here. In Aranguez. They real ignorant.

[janfar]

So u base your thoughts on a nation of millions on the chance meeting of a few in Aranguez?

Sounds legit

[killercow]

I keep hearing sanctions are being imposed on Russia, and that the West
will impose further sanctions. Can someone shed light on what
kind of 'sanctions' are being referred to here?

Cuz to me it sounds like the US and EU jes spittin empty threats;
especially seeing that based on the stats, the preceding quote has
an extremely high probability of being true.

They stated that they will not grant visas to certain persons from Russia and Crimean government as a start.

Putin called the sanction a great honor...

So I found the article detailing the sanctions
that are to allegedly be implemented.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26622299

Seems like the US and UK will suffer just
as much as Russia if these sanctions
are really effected.

Interesting to note though that if this does happen,
many countries against Russian may have to source
their oil & natural gas elsewhere. Wonder if our
exports will increase.

[Dizzy28]

This will all soon be forgotten. Ukraine is not worth it for the USA to put up a sustained fight diplomatically or militarily and Europe is too dependent on Russia gas. Ukraine is not member of NATO or EU and they do not provide a strategic supply of energy to the States. The sanctions as they are have been acknowledged to be just a mere slap on the wrist.

I await similar referendums by Basque and Navarre, Scotland (to be held later this year), Quebec, Kashmir. If ethnic groups have their way globally lots of maps going to have to be redrawn.

I remember in 1990 during the attempted coup, BBC reporters stood in front of the Drag Mall on Frederick Street and made a report that the situation in POS was so bad that the people had fled their homes. Since then I have never trusted Western media.

For a different perspective into the events in the Crimean Peninsular, check out www.rt.com, a Russian news station reporting in English.

What was the outcome of this..?

[RIPEBREDFRUIT]

if there was to be another WW , more than likely we would not die from a blast, we would probably die off as a result of the Radiation wave and exposure.
Can you imagine how much worse Trinidad would be with Radio active beethamites running around?

[sharkmouth]

nato will never dare to attack russia, plus china is a close ally of russia

[janfar]

As always wiser heads will prevail, USA will stop the grand charging, Ukraine will suffer and Putin will scratch he balls and laugh at the rest of the world.

Long live Putin.
