LOL at this whole "Putin superhero" stuff while all the others in power in major countries are idiots.Whatever buddy,keep your Russia STRONK,Amrika WEAK dreams.
Considering how Putin has been handling the EU and America and his history of handling Russia ... I,d say he is a strong man..there is little doubt on that and he is making EU and US look like a fool several times before. You can stay ignorant but the long term benefits of getting Ukraine far out ways the stock markets . You have to understand Putin has something in mind and this has been well planned from the looks of it . Time will tell if it succeeds
I just told you what happenned this morning without any sanctions,just as a gentle reminder to Russia:10 billion $ wasted to prop up a falling ruble,Russian stock exchange plummeting at a historical low.
There wont be any Sanctions , Stock markets give little view on running of an economy and i already told you about the predictions for the American markets by Warren buffet himself , and yeah Russia has $493billion in Reserves
And yeah Gas prices has been hiked by 10% , which means entire Europe pays 10% more for the Gas . If America launches economic warfare its Europe who suffers ...
The thing is Putin can't back down without loosing face and this will cost him.How much ? I don't know,neither of us do,we shall see.Maybe they'll have an understanding,Crimeea goes free,he leaves the rest of Ukraine alone.I'm wondering if the russians will escalate in Eastern Ukraine like in Crimeea.My bet is that they won't but i have been wrong before.
Cost him ?.... not much , not many will comply with the sanctions , you can bet of that ...
Russian legislators have passed bills to Annex Ukrainian territory , Russia has been given the right to invade by the parliament. Russian army is in Crimea and we have unknown personal taking over Eastern Ukrainian cities ..
Only three ways this could end...
1.This could very well lead to an annexation of Eastern Ukraine
2.The New govt. toppled and replaced again
3. Or the Eastern Ukraine seceding
After the hew Integration laws passed in the Russian Parliament, all these eastern states have to do is send an official request for Russian integration or request for assistance.
