Putin asks parliament to revoke his right to attack Ukraine - Polidicks

[url]http://bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27994032[/url] [quote]Russia's president has asked parliament to revoke the right of military intervention in Ukraine, where rebels have been fighting government troops. Vladimir Putin's move was aimed at "normalising the situation" in the conflict-torn eastern regions of Ukraine, his press-secretary said. The upper house of parliament authorised Mr Putin to use force in Ukraine on 1 March. Moscow has since annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula. This was achieved with the help of troops without insignia. Despite initial denials, Mr Putin later admitted that those were Russian armed forces. However, Moscow denies accusations by Kiev that Russian troops are helping and arm the separatists in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions.[/quote]

Like that'll do shit, he'll have authorisation behind closed doors to do anything radical

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;45199646]Like that'll do shit, he'll have authorisation behind closed doors to do anything radical[/QUOTE] Not really needed to do behind closed doors. The majority of parliament will support the user of armed forces in Ukraine.

Probably an easier way to shift the blame if any more action is taken, "I dont have the power to do it, so it wasnt me".

[QUOTE=D3vils Buddy;45199656]Probably an easier way to shift the blame if any more action is taken, "I dont have the power to do it, so it wasnt me".[/QUOTE] It's still democracy here so he couldn't do it without making a public announcement and "asking opinion" of the parliament. As long as he doesn't want to give the west grounds for attack that is.

[I]News just in[/I]: 115% of Parliament voted in favour of revoking his right

This is logical step to show support for peaceful resolution. It's good news for everyone and there is not a single dose of irony in such event. You guys just can't handle your war boners, do you. Well, go fap to Iraq's crisis potential, there might be thread near by.

"Hold me back bro!"

With the speed they anexed Crimea and gave him permission there, it wouldn't take more than 5 minutes to get reauthorization, so basically a token jesture at most, a blameshift at least

I think since he's accomplished his goals and has no further desire for the rest of Ukraine, he's trying to put the rebels down without actually putting them down. If there's zero fucking chance of them getting Russian help, their resolve is going to take one hell of a blow. Honestly I'd be supportive of the rebels to determine their own fate if they didn't have such a hard-on for joining Russia. That's not fighting for your independence, that would be like the Thirteen Colonies going "YO FRANCE, PLEASE BE OUR KING, GEORGE IS A CUNT."

Constitutionally.

[QUOTE=Dr.Critic;45199941][I]News just in[/I]: 115% of Parliament voted in favour of revoking his right[/QUOTE] Well no, don't be silly. The 115% will vote against it, forcing Putin to continue to have the right to invade Ukraine (which he hasn't done, remember that).

Mr. Putin Had this to say:[/i] "The fuck am I supposed to do about it? I don't have an army any more."

I bet even he didn't want the rebellion to snowball out of Crimea. This is just a sure way of telling the rebels that "No, we aren't going to help you, we got what we wanted already."

BREAKING: Putin to step down from current role as president, Medvedev announces massive scale attack on Ukraine [sp]don't hit me[/sp]

Putin is playing good cop/bad cop; but he's both cops.

I think you're all being rather cynical about this. As much as I dislike Putin, he certainly is no fool; he is entirely aware of the message this will send out, and how awful it will seem if he breaks his word. This is an attempt to show willing to the world leaders who want this to end - and he does not have a leg to stand on if he attempts to acquire more land than he has already gained. Even the annexation of Crimea is on shaky ground.

Russian stocks went up 2.5% percent from this.
