Chinahand Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Have to say this is getting really dangerous - political instability, to a large extent precipitated by Russian brinkmanship results in an area with a large Russian population being occupied by Russian troops, with pro-Russian local politicians demanding the area is taken into the Russian motherland via a snap plebiscite watched over by pro-Russian "self defence" militias. That is a recipe for turmoil throughout Eastern Europe with large Russian populations in the Baltics, Belarus, Moldova as well as in Ukraine.

Lxxx Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Times have changed, this isn't another cold war scenario. Russia is no longer communist, the US is no longer the land of the free, the EU superstate is slowly turning more communist than USSR was and X Factor is no longer appealing to the Saturday night braindead drones. Corporations are now the weapon of choice. Banks, oil companies etc... now hold more sway than governments as they straddle both the old east and west and don't have the same restraints. Governments now do their bidding for them as they have started to become one and the same, mutual interests dictate.

Lxxx Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The Ukraine situation just looks increasingly like two mafia dons (Russia and US) divvying up a useful dupe to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth Seeker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The Great Game or as Zbigniew Brzezinski called it The Grand Chessboard, we should look at some of the Pawns involved. In the video below it shows the Fascist take over of Ukraine. Its a pity the BBC don't make programs like this, they just show small pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, never connecting them together.

Lxxx Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I see Ukraine's new banker led government have proposed a bail in a la Cyprus now. This is what you get when you invite the IMF into your country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what you get when you invite the IMF into your country. All Ukraine needs now is a ex Goldman Sachs banker to run the country, to get them even deeper in debt.

ballaughbiker Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I often wonder how that bit of Russia to the west of Lithuania and east of Poland got left. It's only about 750 miles from Norfolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lxxx Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Just the culmination of years of planning. Now the east rises to where the west was and we have a tectonic power flip.
