Joint statement by President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy and President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso on Crimea

Brussels, 16 March 2014 – As stated by all 28 EU Heads of State or Government on 6 March 2014, the European Union considers the holding of the referendum on the future status of the territory of Ukraine as contrary to the Ukrainian Constitution and international law. The referendum is illegal and illegitimate and its outcome will not be recognised.

Whatever. Russia has the upper hand at all levels: financial, energetic, military, popular support and own territory.

Once you understand this rock-solid fact then you can go on speculating about how a divided, bankrupt and cowardly West can defeat Russia for the first time in its long history.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1306052


Russia has a rickety economy based on natural resource export like a third world nation. They can certainly grab Crimea and Eastern Ukraine at the cost of going back to standing in line for a chance at getting some toilet paper again...or just use Rubles.

This will cause disruptions in Western Europe and financial pain. But this will give the US and excuse to set aside ecological complaints and frack at full bore for "National Security". Western Europe will pay more for Natural Gas from the US, but will reduce dependence on Russia. Fracking at full bore will increase the world NatGas supply and reduce the price for Russian gas.

Russia will be handing over its NatGas customers, and position in the market, to the US in exchange for some Tatars and Putin's ego.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55412272


hesright

Cutting off the gas to EU is short term pain for EU but actually makes them more resilient in the long run. The funny thing is eventually you know they will want to sell gas again but it will have to be cheaper.

If this situation in Europe plays out like WWI or WWII this thread is going to have 100,000 pages. Because if this is the 1936-1938 or the Archduke Ferdinand moment we've got months to wait until open conflict.

Of course, everything is just the opposite. Americans are having a mental breakdown as they watch their little global empire crumble to the ground and just can't believe they are essentially irrelevant in and to the world now.

Expect them to really butcher one another as the weather warms and they have no other outlet for their savage ways except to flay each other.

Please make the distinction, because it's essential.
 Quoting: BattlesightZero


Except for the mad guy who wants everybody in a camp.
 Quoting: steelseries


I'm not "mad", I'm disgusted. It seems that McCain, the romanian guy on here, and I, are the only ones left who know how to defend a nation. Or, an alliance as the case may be and how to deal with a monster like Putin. As someone said, "you have to admire the guy, he has guts. Has made the US and EU, look like..." Well Hitler was Time's man of the year as well. There was similarly, a large contingent in America who admired Hitler. Just like you pro-Putin morans today. Using the same old bigoted justifications. He's fighting the Jews, or the gays, or whatever group you are predisposed to hate at the time.

So shout your ignorant little heads off. Enjoy this, what you see as some game. Because you ARE on the wrong side of history.

First, Ukraine’s admission to the European Union must be accelerated so Ukraine has a long term objective to work towards. Second, the West must provide super-generous financial assistance. It must realize that Ukraine is a “war economy” and must be treated as deserving a Marshall Plan of sorts. Third, the West should supply Ukraine with the arms and munitions it needs to defend itself. This assistance must include uniformed training personnel located on Ukrainian soil.

Does putin really care about sanctions
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38705071


Depends on what they are. Visa restrictions for 120 people? No. Asset freezes for people who have already moved their assets? No. Obama refusal to play golf at Russian golf courses? No.

But if the Europeans stand together and get a combination of sanctions together like:

1) Implement NatGas rationing and stop purchases from Russia.
2) No flights to or from Russia
3) No access to western banking
4) No visas for any Russian except humanitarian purposes
5) Turkey starts slowing down the Bosporous traffic
6) US starts reconsidering Polish missile shield
7) Expel from G8 and WTO

Then those start to add up to real pain and danger to Russian economy if they present a united front.

But they won't.

No more Russian gas into Europe IMO - both sides suffer.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55500676


Yeah right. Keep repeating that stupid mantram for syourself.

What the Eu won't buy otehrs will line up to obtain... because every fking body needs gas! get it?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1306052


In 2008 during the global economic slowdown demand went down and Russia ended up burning through about 40% of their reserve cash. Their economy ended up being affected at a much higher rate than the West due to reliance on natural resources exports.

A shooting or economic war, either one, will certainly cause an economic downturn which will have similar effects on Russian finances. Russia will not be able to turn to others, for instance China, because China sells their shit to the US and Western Europe which won't be buying their shit because they are in an economic downturn caused by financial war with Russia.

Russia is connected to the world economy. They blow up the world economy...they blow up themselves. No getting around it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55412272

How do you go about having trade routes cut off (in tandem with who Syria and Iran trade with china, asia through hormuz for the most part).
This is the new silk road aka entire m.e., land, pipelines, waterways, railroads *kof* "under adjustment".

Add sanctions against russia and blame them for blowing up the world economy.
You'd get a standing ovation at the UN/NATO (including those arms twisted behind by 3rd party) as well as the sucking anus called the u.s. Houses.
