Be lucky if we made it three hours, Jim.

Skybird: German magazine "Focus" reports that the US is sending a warship into the Black Sea, an according request has been passed on to the Turks.

Aktung: In reality, as long as China still illegally holds Tibet, how can we in the West be morally picky over our Panda Bear political cuties of the moment.

[QUOTE] Skybird: I wanted just to point at how choosy international peace activists are in picking their causes.[/QUOTE]

Quote:

Aktung: With Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia all NATO on his northern shoulder and Turkey, also NATO, cramping his Black Sea warm port egress on his southern shoulder, he is not in any terrific long-range winning position geopolitically. All of the former Iron Curtain nations are NATO so his cage is pretty well defined

[QUOTE] Skybird: The US also announces they are intensifying cooperations with Polish air force and the air forces of the three smaller Baltic states. The air cooperation is reasonable, all these countries are NATO members. The warship deployment only adds a little fuel into the fire.[/QUOTE]

Precisely! The cage begins tightening ALREADY and a US warship already ventures into the 'Russian lake'; let the games begin...now if someone would just freeze Putin's foreign bank accounts, we could negotiate in earnest! His grab at the Crimea is more in the nature of the monkey's fist; if he doesn't let go, he can't pull his hand back out of the illicit cookie jar!

In victory or defeat, the game's the same!

No chance "call me Dave" let it slip that investments in Chelseagrad are needed for a property price rise and his pals in the City need to process Russian money to pad out their bonus scheme.

Every one is working hard to find a diplomatically solution. Is it me or does it looks like some of the participant aren't interested in finding a solution to the Ukrainian/Crimean crisis

It's going to take longer than three years just to build the website for WWIII.

It is the right time now that Ukraine joins the EU, then the wall moves from the Ukraine to Russia, then Russia reforms, which it needs to do and joins the EU.

TarJak · 03-05-14, 06:25 PM

That can't and won't happen.

Dan D · 03-05-14, 06:44 PM

That is an interesting statement. Why can't that happen?

Skybird · 03-05-14, 06:54 PM

Let's all sit in a circle, hold each others hands and sing a happy song.

Oberon · 03-05-14, 09:27 PM

It would be nice, but there's just too much bad blood, although...to be fair, to have an organisation with the British, French and Germans in manage to last this long without one of the three declaring war on each other is a modern day miracle, especially in the post-Soviet era with no major enemy to make them band together.
So who knows, maybe Russia might come in from the cold one day, but it would take a major shake-up within the Kremlin for that to happen, and those kind of shake-ups don't tend to happen without military support, which the current Kremlin leadership enjoys.
So, maybe in 2231, if we're lucky, and if Europe still exists...

I think they got their fill of fighting after WW2 exhausted all 3. The British lost their empire. France got de Gaulle as President and we all know what happened to Germany.
