Where do you see an actual challenge? Just toothless yapping to indulge domestic hawks.
“annexation of the peninsula was a violation of international law that “called the peaceful order in Europe into question.”
How about in 1999 when Germany bombed the hell out of Serbia for 3 months, forcibly stripping their sovereign territory to give to rebel separatists?
Isn’t this the norm of international law that Germany has set for others?
Does this mean Germany will be working towards returning Kosovo to Serbia?
Hmmmmm? OK, you want to take Odessa back, we’ll take back East Prussia and Pomerania. Deal?
Lol,, they cannot be serious. They gonna siege Sevastopol again, where they fought Russians? Where the Crimean war attackers fought against,,,Russians? Where in the cold war the Russians had their biggest navy base?
Merkel really thinks they are going to be able to give that the Kiev so it can become a NATO base?
And as an aside, what is the German interest here?
Yeah, and Greece is going to finance the operation.
Oh, c’mon. We all know Putin just wants peace...a piece of Ukraine, a piece of the Baltics..
It wound make more sense for Germany to insist on having its territories returns which the Soviets took and gave to Poland
NEVER, EVER, Gonna happen!
There is no threat, no force, no ultimatum..that will wrest Crimea from Russia...
Drang noch Osten!!!!
"You wouldn't have much fun in Stalingrad, would you?"
Not going to happen.
She made Poroshenko a promise her country can’t cash in on.
For Russia, Crimea is a closed subject.
Nonsense! The Wehrmacht can be at the gates of Moscow in two months, you vill see! :)
Russia needs Sevastopol and fleet support services there. Putin won’t give up Crimea
“NEVER, EVER, Gonna happen!
There is no threat, no force, no ultimatum..that will wrest Crimea from Russia... “
LOL ! I will remember this one and ping your whole crowd to it in a few years when the crap start collapsing and the regions go for independence :))))
