Wasn't the Ukrainian government accusing Russia of violating their air space just a while ago? Considering the rebel was losing some territories just before this and they were all in the same area it could have been anyone who shot the plane down, assuming it's proven that the plane was shot...

US sanctioning Russian oil and arms companies?:omghaha: What a joke. How is this supposed to scare the Russians considering the US does not import any Russian oil or weapons to begin with? They might as well ban the export of oil and trees to Russia while they are at it just to add more comedic...

The surprise in that list is that France, Germany, UK and Spain thinks that China is the leading economic power...the rest of the results just follows geopolitical alliances and/or the amount of charity given. France, Germany, UK and Spain are not China's geopolitical allies nor are they...

I think the Russians are way too busy trying to save themselves from the same fate in their neighbouring countries.

I think it is time for Gordon Chang to publish another article about economic collapse in 2015.

The problem is, the migrant workers really can't afford anything else so it does not really solve anything to punish the landlords...especially since UK real estate prices is extremely high compared to other places in Europe. Frankly, the problem shouldn't be up to the UK to fix anyways...

Having other countries love you doesn't necessarily mean it is a good thing. My country is beloved all around the world for all the wrong reasons. Poor countries love leeching off our ridiculously generous aid (for our size) and immigration policies. The US love us as a source of cheap resource...

How reliable are the Japanese as a business partner though? I believe they were the only Asian country to impose (limited) sanction on Russia during the Crimea crisis while China pretty much supported Russia behind the scene and everyone else paid lip service against Russia but remained neutral.

Actually innovation isn't nearly as important as marketing power, branding, and capital. The actual tech and innovation behind the iPhone pales in comparison to the marketing power of Apple.

Maybe in one month we'll have Libyans fighting for the west and Indians fighting for the east.

Not as bogus as reports about Chechen, Serbian, or South Ossetian militants fighting for Eastern Ukrainians.

I think Uyghur terrorists have more to do with it. These scums are ruining what makes high speed rail great compared to airlines. Now all the conservative governments in the world can use this as an example to avoid upgrading their rail systems.

Why would countries that have no territorial disputes with China risk their relatively friendly relationships for Vietnam and the Philippines? Despite ASEAN the SE Asian countries do not benefit from each other all that much because they all sell mostly the same stuff and are close competitors...

Go to Germany, have one legal part time job along with other underground cash jobs, then claim child care benefit as well as welfare because they're making poverty wages legally. The construction industry is notorious for this because it is so hard to track...European construction industry is...

Not with the Americans kicking up a storm about China's "land grab" and looming protectionist tariffs.

The leaflets does not have a signature on it...so anyone could have made it up on a computer at home and start distributing to Jewish people. Funny how the media didn't care this much when you have people wandering around with swastika armbands attacking ethnic Russian and pro-Russian...

At the very least China does not have these people in their country (at least I don't think so): Who needs enemies when you have these fine upstanding citizens bankrupting your country.

It is a national referendum. So it is only a clever trick to appear "democratic" when in reality it is just a manipulation of the democratic system. Western and Central Ukraine would make sure the rest won't win simply by sheer numbers...especially without Crimea. If the majority votes to kill...

"Get out of the house you can't afford" = Default. If an individual has to use his entire savings, sell off everything he owns and lose anything he's going to earn for the next 30 years or more to pay off a mortgage...he'll default and file for bankruptcy protection. It is better for Greece...

And lose a huge portion of gas transit fee, gas discount, and industrial tax base? Never. No way Ukraine will let their entire revenue stream go while assuming all the debt with fewer people and less assets. How will they "join" (bribe) the EU / IMF without the Eastern Ukrainians to tax and...
