Kiev crisis / Euromaidan (16 Viewers)

too big to fail?

That's not it because big can fall too, though they never fall instantly. And why would it fall now, the conditions are not there for it to fall.

Everyone is looking for the worst case scenario, even WW3 was mentioned a few times. How is it different then US invading some so and so desert land? It's closer to our western world? Yeah, but Ukraine is far from western world as america from pakistan.

too big to fail was a reference to the us government theory behind bailing out big banks, this could spell out the end of europe because the big ones(germany, france, and england) will want some sort of economic sanctions while the smaller ones cant afford to lose russia.

And with all that I can't see any smaller country leave the EU. In the end result all that would happen is that the bigger countries would swoop in more to take even more of the market. And that would be no good for smaller countries like mine(as things stand right now, we are in sort of this tension with russia because of EU for quite some time), but the strange thing is no small country will leave EU even if this happens.

People don't want to go back to being in USSR or their puppet, they prefer the EU to be their lords for now and until that changes EU will not fail for any reason whatsoever.

Well, at least it isn't China. She'd have been executed by now.

Actually it's the opposite. Smaller economies like Poland, Lithuania etc want sanctions while France, UK and Germany have waaaaay too much interestes in Russia.

Lithuania don't want sanctions. There are loads of bussiness that depend on russia. Almost all of the food industry here. Sanctions to them means shit to us. Bit we don't care we prefer the western lords to the eastern nomads.

Bigger tables there more crumbs on the ground

Basically she was putting her resume out there.

What an awesome concept: dumping your corrupt political leaders on foreign countries as a form of subversive warfare.

Make it rot from within. That would be way more evil than the CIA practice of installing puppet leaders in Central America or Fidel Castro dumping his convict population on the U.S. in the Mariel boatlift of 1980.

It's good for plants to be pollinated by other plants.

Putin: Russia does not want to annex Crimea.
However, they're going to hold a referendum in Crimea in May and the Crimeans will most likely vote to secede from Ukraine and become independent (as a Russian puppet state) or join Russia.
Sneaky bastard

 

[radekas]

A referendum that can't be held according to Ukrainian constitution.

I didn't know that.

It will be interesting to see what happens regarding the Ukrainian constitution.

 

[Martin]

They could suspend it long enough to have the referendum.

 

[radekas]

But Ukraine doesn't want the referendum so they won't. Of course that won't stop it from happening.

Nothing matters now, Crimea is de facto russia now.

 

[radekas]

Yeah.
