you're cute with accusations of patronising when your entire point is based on holier than thou "the western global capitalist overlords are to blame for everything". you convienently forget that poverty, slavery and greed of corporations or individuals didnt start in "the west", there's a long...

Ukraine isnt being welcomesd with open arms, they have to apply through a process and observe a whole bunch of economic reforms before entering. they are years away from this happening, even if the EU members agree to them joining. Scotland, currently not even independent, would follow the...

firstly this is a myth, there's no country ID. secondly if there were, products made in say germany, using energy from russian gas wouldnt show a russian code. ees complicated.

not sure where this idea is coming from. the EU is not very interested in the Ukraine for exactly the reason you give and there's little appetite to be eating off Russia's plate. they aren't ready and if they were, they are behind Turkey in the queue. now Ukrainians, at least western ones...

that leak shows they are not going seize anything or block any trade... so its nothing to do banks or markets. this is about *Russia* wanting to impose its will on its neighbours. it wants Crimea and wants Ukraine, which it sees as part of its heritage and history to be under its control.

not clever. they've done the right thing, remained in barracks in absence of formal orders to defend/attack the Russian forces. the sensible thing is to recognise this and leave them be, so there's less motivation for the rest of Ukraine to react. Putin seems to want to provoke a conflict...

Ukraine has its own capable air force and air defense to resist. suggesting a pre-emptive US involvement could just escalate the situation.

at which point Russia backs down lest it gets very meesy very quickly. i just dont see them escalating this to all out war over someone who, though a supporter, Putin doesnt even like. Ukraine will and can fight back.

i dont think so. look at the geography and a little of the history, Crimea is a different kettle of fish to the rest of Ukraine. it practically is Russian, only an artifact of bureaucrats have deemed it that side of the border. as far as i can tell theres strongly ethincally...

show what? are you refering to the nationalist links? funny, BBC2 last night was highlighting the involvement of far-right Ukrainians. this is a very complex country in terms of alligence, ethinicity and national identity, little warmongers like youself might want to read up the history a bit.

to use an old internet meme, in Soviet Russia, they cut off EU. and they do hold a good hand, supplying gas to most of central eastern europe and substantial amounts to Germany, Italy and Poland.

up the anti-what in the Ukraine? or you meant ante? no idea what the map is as it doesnt show. however events suggest the President has abandoned his office which rather goes against your prefered narrative. of course he may be relocating to a pro-russian area, awaiting support. you and the...

im not familar with the whole story, but as i gather it, to do so would be detrimental - it would be tauntamount to invasion. unless the Ukraine President asks for assistance, which would be in effect a vote of no confidence in himself and government. Russian involvement would galvanise the...

No chance of UEFA calling off of course, their competition far more important that safety of players and fans.
