[QUOTE=alexaz;44099620]Nothing is going to happen as nothing happened with North Korea.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia%E2%80%93Georgia_war"]Russia has done something, on the other hand.[/URL]
At this point I'm convinced Putin is just trying to humiliate the EU after his own humiliation at the whole Ukraine affair during the Olympics. He and every other world leader recognize that war is de facto off the table and he'll use this latitude in Ukraine to re-consolidate popularity at home and make a foreign political gesture to the effect that Russia will always make the final move.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;44099960]HEY LASERGUIDED [img]http://i.imgur.com/MLBeepY.png[/img][/QUOTE] I wonder which party is correct.
[QUOTE=proch;44099596][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poles_in_Chicago#The_Polish_presence_in_Chicago_today"]It generally was a joke, but if you're interested.[/URL][/QUOTE] Oh, because Chicago has a bunch of Poles in it and Poland was USSR once. Also I think Chicago has a district of Slavs.
[QUOTE=laserguided;44099976]I wonder which party is correct.[/QUOTE] One the one hand you have a minister of a country currently being invaded on the other you have a historically biased paper that regularly makes up bullshit Both aren't perfect sources, but one is definitely more legitimate.

Just because I post something, that does not mean I am a party to that source. You post unreliable stuff from EuromaidanPR and I dont bitch at you and ask for proof.
Fair enough. Euromaidan isn't a completely objective thing but it generally provides links to independent sources or statements. RT is little more than a high political tabloid that actively and with an agenda makes stuff up. Euromaidan is mostly harmless, RT is actively destructive.
i wonder if anyone remembers 1938 where Hitler demanded CSR's Sudeten land because 'lives of german locals' were at risk ... little buzz and Munchen treaty was signed between superpowers forcing CSR to 2 options, give border regions up or enjoy war w/o any support ... in short, don't trust in some superpower to cover you (unless you special / important for w/e reason), build own army and nukes en masse ... Casus Belli is extremely wide for these cases and can actually be used anywhere in east europe and ex-USSR republics ...

I'm trying to say understand what you post before you post it. At least to the simplest possible level of like, "Hm, I can't quite read what this video title says, I'll just say it's Kiev" I haven't posted any Russian language sources even though I can read and understand enough russian.

That's bullshit and you know it. Chrome's translate is shit but it's not going to change the documented and registered name of a city to another one. Just stop man.
[QUOTE=laserguided;44100128]Well actually Chrome's translate fucked up and said Kiev instead Zaporozhe but whatever.[/QUOTE] Chrome has an agenda. Can you believe anyone in this world?!
[QUOTE=EcksDee;44100140]That's bullshit and you know it. Chrome's translate is shit but it's not going to change the documented and registered name of a city to another one. Just stop man.[/QUOTE] He's telling the truth, actually. Going to the video on youtube and hitting translate on Chrome gives the title "Ukrainian KrAZ and 152mm Howitzer MSTA-B in Kiev 02.03.2014". I don't see why you're making a huge deal out of this.
