To ALL those, especially Western European Poster's, starting with Crimea 1, who said Putin wouldn't do this, or wouldn't do that: 4 months ago I didnt thought Putin would do this. Warning signals yes but acting like this no. Most Western politicians where certain that this could not happen. Still there are some who are only 'concerned'. |

http://www.redeye.se/aktieguiden/nyheter/saab-regeringen-ger-klartecken-till-60-jas-gripen-svt Decision made today. And short in English. Sweden has ordered 60(70) more JAS 39(E) GRIPEN today. And reason is that the future wasn't as safe as we thought it would be. That is an increase of Swedish JETS by 100% Anyone want to buy some??(This last line was a joke). |

Russians start asking: are we at war? One mother, Olga Pochtoyeva, says when she approached officials with photos on the social media site Vkontakte that appeared to show her son had been taken prisoner in Ukraine, her claims were dismissed as “provocations.†|

Russians start asking: are we at war? Olgas claim is a criminal act today thanks to Putin. I have seen many examples of this. Young boys who are taught that Ukraine is killing their own peoples. They are not like thugs and killers from Chechnya used to war. Many are very dissapointed when they are in Ukrainia and doing this meaningless war. Hopefully this is something that will end the war soon. |

Quotes from the Russian President’s speech at the Seliger youth forum. 'Crimea recognition will be long and tedious' “Do you remember the joke: ‘Whatever Russians make, they always end up with a Kalashnikov?’ I get an impression that whatever Americans touch they always end up with Libya or Iraq,†“Sad as it might seem, this reminds me of the events of World War II, when the German Nazi troops surrounded our cities, like Leningrad, and directly shelled those cities and their residents,†“And the part of the country that disagreed with that is being suppressed with the use of jets, artillery, multiple launch systems and tanks. If these are today’s European values – I’m gravely disappointed.†“Our partners – whatever condition their countries are in and whatever foreign policy concept they adhere to – should understand that it’s better not to mess with us. Thank God, I believe it doesn’t occur to anyone to unleash a large-scale conflict with Russia.†“We didn’t not annex Crimea, we didn’t take it away. We gave people an opportunity to have their say and make a decision, which we took with respect. We protected them, I believe.†“We had to protect our compatriots, who live in Crimea. When we look at events in Donbass, Lugansk, Odessa, it becomes clear to us what would have happened to Crimea if we had not taken measures to provide free expression of will to people.†“Russia is far from getting involved any large-scale conflicts. We don’t want that and we are not going to do it. And, naturally, we should always be ready to repel any aggression against Russia,†'Russia to beef up nuclear deterrence potential' 'Russia will seek acceptable compromises on Arctic' http://rt.com/news/183760-putin-quotes-seliger-forum/ |

Poland Next? As reported in our government, also established a ban on a flight of this aircraft in Ukrainian airspace... Why did he has to fly here? This Tu-134 - a military plane and belongs to the Armed Forces of Russia! In general, be careful... In russian diplomats in their pockets have hand grenades... Keep this in mind always! :) https://translate.google.com.ua/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=uk&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdelo.ua%2Fworld%2Fv-ukraine-ischezli-dva-rossijskih-diplomata-245870%2F%3Fsupdated_new%3D1409392561&edit-text=&act=url |

Poland Next? Russians dont care about rules and laws. Russian diplomats are by far the best at illegally park their diplomatic cars in Sweden. Last year, noted diplomat cars belonging to Russia for 171 illegal parkings. The jump down to China's huge - Chinese diplomats illegally parked 52 times. Large countries with quite a number of diplomatic vehicles as France, Germany, Italy and the UK illegally parked just once or twice, and of the neighboring Nordic countries, only Denmark, which accounted for some illegal parking |

Poland Next? Whatever Russians make, they always end up with a Kalashnikov. The Russian Embassy in Kiev officially announced the disappearance of the third secretary of the embassy attache Andrei Golovanov and Mikhail Shorin on the territory of Ukraine. Russians dont know how to read a map:) Maybe they are lost somewhere in Belarus. A Ukrainian transport aircraft with seven people on board has crashed in southern Algeria. |

He takes all the time its hybrid war, a mix of the KGB's old spy tricks and traditional military methods, to new heights. The "green men" who pipped the Crimean Peninsula in March was followed by a 'secret' invasion of eastern Ukraine. I like the depiction of Putin as a rat. He used to 'play' with them when he was Young in St Petersburg. |

It feels like a true power challenge ahead. I wonder why Putin doesn't return Crimea? He could easily have made a deal with Ukraine to keep the Naval Base and it's Russian population and peace would have been kept. Ask me and I think he made a mistake. I also have difficulties in seeing a conflict that spreads across Europe without US and NATO getting 200% involved. I also wonder how long this game of tick tack toe will continue before it is changed into "a nice game of chess". Where is Dr: Falken? |

It feels like a true power challenge ahead. Putin return the Crimea? Will never happen. Maybe when Putin is dead. Actually Russia paid Ukraina for the naval base to Russia by selling gas at a very low price. Now the gas cost twice as much. Russian population? They where Ukrainain Citizen who happens to speak Russian. Maybe we should go to Finland and Åland and claim territorium because they are speaking Swedish. And Gammelsvenskbyn in Ukraina not far from Crimea where they are speaking Swedish and still have contacts and traditions from Sweden. Vi äro musikanter, allt i från Skaraborg.

Process has started... :) Kazakhstan may leave EEU if its interests are infringed: Nazarbayev said... "Kazakhstan has a right to withdraw from the Eurasian Economic Union if its interests are infringed, President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev reminded in an interview to Khabar TV Channel. "If the rules set forth in the agreement are not followed, Kazakhstan has a right to withdraw from the Eurasian Economic Union. I have said this before and I am saying this again. Kazakhstan will not be part of organizations that pose a threat to our independence. Our independence is our dearest treasure, which our grandfathers fought for. First of all, we will never surrender it to someone, and secondly, we will do our best to protect it," the President said."
