Think I'll leave that one with you, I'm going to stare at eggs until they hatch or turn green and smell.

Today the UK Gov told Russia they are guilty of a land grab...
....heheh....
...err, the people in Crimea speak Ruissian and around 95% voted to be part of Russia.
Maybe the UK gov should read up on Gibralter, Falklands, India, South Africa, etc etc.

Oh, so you were talking about a financial gift / loan ?
The way you've come across with talk of fictional unamimous votes in Kyiv, I thought you were talking of EU membership.
Presumably your comparision with Scotland then was about how long it would take Scotland to get a loan
As I read it , it seems the EU is looking for closer ties with Ukraine , whether joining the EU will be quicker because of that , no one knows !
Carefully ignoring Russian colonial history right through the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century of course. Key differences are that the rest of the European powers colonised the new world whereas Russia expanded East and South....and is continuing to do so......you need to support your own arguments with facts, instead of continuously diluting and deflecting with dull attempts to discredit other posters views..... you know that we are in more enlightened times....don't you?........colonialism is an act that is out of fashion by at least a century.
I cant think of the last actual colonisation by the European powers as was..... obviously I dont count the incidents that surrounded the 2nd world war.Not quite a century, more like 75 years!!!

Bloody hell , everyday I wake up and turn on NSC I see you coming out with snidey comments , have you got a life ? Anyway , Crimea is now Russian and rightly so in my opinion , and the UK , US and most countries in the EU would of done the same , live with it ! Perhaps the PARLIAMENTRY ELECTED prime minister should stop touring around Europe and the White house telling everybody 'OH the Russians have done this and done that' and get back to his country and start doing what he was put in his position for , Ukraine is in turmoil , the economy is sliding , people not being paid , people worried at loosing their jobs , he got the job now do something about Ukraine . Some of his comments are a bit inflammatory and don't help the situation at all . As for the shooting yesterday of the Ukraine guys , well that is totally out of order and so is the reporting , some reports say it is the Russian army , some say it was Russian speaking extremists from Ukraine , this is from UK channels and really they should get this right as this is one hell of an accusation , personally I think and hope it was an extremist , similar to those that shot the Ukrainian police in Kiev .
Now I have had my say and no doubt will hear from you later , but now I need to work and look forward to our 3 points against Ipswich on Saturday

WarI appreciate that but what else would describe German expansion?
To a degree, but there are plenty of colonisations that were simply created through economic greed by both sides, not always at the point of a barrel.Hasn't most colonisation involved war?
