The West has cut all paths to a peaceful solution of the Ukrainian crisis by supporting the Kiev authorities and their violent crackdown on protests in the eastern part of the country, Russia’s envoy Vitaly Churkin told the UN Security Council.
DETAILS TO FOLLOW
There haven’t been “NeoSoviets” for two decades now. Thanks for playing...
The NeoSoviet® Empire never died, it just went further underground. Useful idiots [or agents provacateur] like yourself are clear evidence of that, and your other posts are correct: Russia's foreign policy is consistent and has always been consistent since the Czars: Imperialism, oppression, torture, and murder. Nothing changes, not even the agents and useful idiots they send out to peddle the story that it's really the other side that's causing all the problems.
Crawl back in your hole.
Washington has countered with sanctions aimed at crashing Russia's economy, and Moscow has further countered by crippling the Visa-MasterCard stranglehold on clearing financial transactions, and may form a new strategic anti-Western alliance with Beijing. Russia's non-military "nuclear" option is to demand that Europe purchase its natural gas in gold or some other non-USD or Euro (USD-linked) medium. If the Petrodollar is crashed, our own economy could be ruined. The stakes are getting progressively higher.
Economic sanctions are acts of war, just short of physical violence. The purpose of sanctions is to hurt just enough to achieve a desired political outcome, but not to hurt so much as to provoke a military response. That is a fine line to draw, and a dangerous one with a hostile alliance encircling the borders of its adversary. I can't help but recall how Fred Thompson's character declared in The Hunt for Red October, "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
Keep on trollin’!
It’s not the Russian opinion. That would be simple-minded. It’s what they want us to think. That’s what propaganda is, genius.
I’m sorry. Who are you?
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
Which is what I have been saying, all along.
We have an agitator, not a leader, running our show. And he is so far out of his depth (and the depth of the mions around him) that the likelihood of a major screwup grows with each passing day.
There are a LOT of forces at work here, and the Ukes are just the latest victims of it, like the Tunisians, the Libyans, the Egyptians, etc....
I see Moscow Center's grasp of American idioms is as bad as ever. Time to tell Vlad to up the Lubyanka's English education budget.
I am addressing you directly. I am addressing your idiotic RT agitprop with the history of your Evil Empire. That is not trolling. Get a clue.
Somebody who is sick of reading tcrlaf’s agitprop.
“Moscow Center”
ROTFLMAO!
Actually, I don’t live too far from it!

What a maroon....
So... your only excuse for not understanding what trolling is would be dimwittedness then?
