Poroshenko wins Ukraine election, Tymoshenko a distant second say exit polls - Polidicks

[t]http://imgkk.com/i/plcp.jpg[/t] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27569057[/url] [quote]Confectionary tycoon Petro Poroshenko has won an outright victory in Ukraine's presidential election, exit polls indicate. They suggest the businessman - known as the "chocolate king" - won more than 55% of votes in Sunday's first round. They suggest former PM Yulia Tymoshenko came a distant second. There were 18 candidates on the ballot, seen as a crucial moment to unite the country.[/quote]

Good, they have a legitimate president but he is an oligarch.

All Hail the Chocolate King. [img]http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhKeFqfCIAAmLXX.jpg[/img] He should commission gold-colored tin wrapped chocolate pieces of bread, because fuck chocolate coins.

[QUOTE=Sableye;44905665]can't tell if you are sarcastic or not. [/QUOTE] He's Russia's version of RAYHALO.

At least it's not Timoshenko, I guess

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;44905839]At least it's not Timoshenko, I guess[/QUOTE] What other choices were there except the two? Well, I guess a CEO president knows how to run an economy at the very least.

Russia will probably say this was an illegitimate election. :v:

[QUOTE=GammaFive;44905872]Russia will probably say this was an illegitimate election. :v:[/QUOTE] Putin said he will recognize it as legit

"If Crimea and Donetsk are legitimate, we should say that Ukraine ones are too" I expect something like this.

I love that nickname, Chocolate king. It really fits.

He's going to be just as bad as the last.

[QUOTE=Greg25kk;44906032]He's going to be just as bad as the last.[/QUOTE] I doubt it. While I don't know a whole lot about him, he can hardly be any worse than Yanukovich. This guy took to the streets during the protests and attempted to calm people down. Even if he didn't succeed, it's still a noble goal. I fully he believe he has good intentions. I just hope that I'm not proven wrong.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;44905907]Putin said he will recognize it as legit[/QUOTE] That's only worrying if anything. Let's hope Putin doesn't have him in his pocket like he had his predecessor. Him being a business man doesn't help that thought either.

Mmm, chocolate.

[QUOTE=proch;44906228]That's only worrying if anything. Let's hope Putin doesn't have him in his pocket like he had his predecessor. Him being a business man doesn't help that thought either.[/QUOTE] Eh. Some businessmen have run businesses larger than some countries.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;44906306]Eh. Some businessmen have run businesses larger than some countries.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but it's context sensitive. I mean, it's someone in charge of Ukraine with someone in charge of Russia.

[QUOTE=proch;44906228]That's only worrying if anything. Let's hope Putin doesn't have him in his pocket like he had his predecessor. Him being a business man doesn't help that thought either.[/QUOTE] We'll have to work with Russia anyway

Russia Today talking about hockey. ok

[QUOTE=proch;44906228]That's only worrying if anything. Let's hope Putin doesn't have him in his pocket like he had his predecessor. [/QUOTE] Putin already does This dudes a business man, the country is far indebt, and russia wants land. What do you think is going to happen. Ukraine get ready to sell some land.

Maybe he offered everyone free chocolate! :v: Also: wasn't Tymoshenko that women who said she wanted to get the rest of the world into a war with Russia?

Tymoshenko is sad [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19945172/1401052798432.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=godfatherk;44907553]Russia Today talking about hockey. ok[/QUOTE] Not only that, but Putin is in Minsk now watching the game. Also Klitschko got elected as Mayor of Kyiv.

After all, she did have a political background. But why was did she get so little votes? I thought she would be more popular than ever after being freed.

She did get abused in prison, which started all that shitstorm about her. And when she got released she started talking all this mindless violent bullshit that only made people mad. If she became the president, this whole situation would've gotten muuuuch worse.

So is this a good outcome or a meh outcome?

[QUOTE=Squad1993;44908672]So is this a good outcome or a meh outcome?[/QUOTE] We'll see, but at least he probably keeps all sides cool which is the most important task now.
