As contested as crimea independence/being russian is, I get that the russian void the treaty. But making ukraine pay retroactively is not only dickish, it's also (probably) just plain illegal. That's not how discounts work!

Oh come on, I was looking forward to this event! And now it's probably going to be cancelled... (making two countries which are technically at war compete in a tank biathlon is not a good ide).

I finally made contact with my friend in moscow. Apparently the russian media said that ukrainian Anonymous said that the US government said to the ukrainian government (in a leaked conversation) that they would send US commandos in crimea to pretend being russian and sow dissent.

That's not a viper at that point, it's a fucking anaconda.

((Quick question: Who's competing with me for most deaths?))

Respawn as...um...running out of major characters...Sonya Marmeladova, who advances if possible.
Me. I'm at two already. Though I'm fairly sure the third won't happen now.

Forward, quick!

Yay, I'm a healer!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Summary:
Neuroticism: Except for anxiety and self-consciousness, I'm a vulcan. Mostly. Sounds about right.
Extravertism: Fuck people.
Openness: Routine is good, but sometimes I need new things. Spot on. Imagination and intellect in orbit. Also fuck art, apparently.
Agreeableness: Who said fuck people? Fuck strangers. Though it might be a bit exagerated since I keep to myself, I have a golden heart.
Conscientiousness: Procrastinatioooooooooooooooooooon. Cautiousness high tho.
Overview in spoilers. I'm unique. Almost.

I am all for people self determination, but that "referendum" was so faked it hurts. I would seriously laugh at the face of anyone bold-facingly telling me the contrary. I mean, 97% yes? Only one year after a poll which gave a 20% pro-joining-russia minority? And a russian invasion? With international observers not allowed? And rumors/proofs of irregularities all over the internet? Come on!

Most legit important votes are on the edge, nearly 50-50. Only once I saw a presidential election ending with a 82% vote in favor of the winner. It was in 2002 and through massive abstension the far-right candidate made it to the second turn instead of the leftist. Being faced with a choice of "moderate republican equivalent or massively racist far-righter?", the country understandably choose the moderate.

The crimean referendum was massively rigged, there's no "will of the people" in it. That's why the West denounce it.

Hm... Frame of Reference... Yuri's suit will cost as much as a medium-sized anti-ship laser. If he bought six more suits, it'd cost as much as an obsolete SMC-made destroyer. It's also worth about as much as ten shots of that expensive booze Sceptro likes.
Economy, how does it works?
Seriously, when a full space destroyer costs as much as sixty booze glasses, there is a scaling problem somewhere.

There's lot of opposition to that, thanks to americans playing cowboys world police around the globe. The only one who can push Finland to NATO is the Democratically Elected President of Democratic Russia. He is doing good job at it, maybe we should give him some kind of award?
Ironically, one of the changes this whole thing might bring is that it has the potential to unite both the EU internally and the EU with the US, in times when these relationships were quite strained. Putin is indeed bringing peace and unity by turning back the clock 30 years. It was mentioned earlier in the thread, he is already nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
That's is. Putin is in fact the good guy and has been so all along! His only goal is to unite the globe into a peaceful coalition, like the UN were intended to be, but he knows that the only way to do so is to unite the world against an evil emperor. Since Best Korea is far from credible enough, and Crazy Iran failed despite his backup, Putin decided to martyr himself and pose as the Evil Emperor the free world need to unite against! [/1amsarcasm]

Seriously though, if the situation diplomatically escalate to CWII and the West manage a lasting, deeper unity, Putin deserves that peace nobel.
Or IgNobel at the very least.

It's more like a return to normal than really hurting the economy.
It looks that way for the airline and the mobile operator. Furthermore the car manufacturer looks like it was in decline already. I'll concede that the bank seems to corroborate your view though.


Damned, ninja. I didn't pay attention to the olympics so I don't know the dates, but for three of the graphs it looks more like a return to normal than a krach to me.

To be fair, it's a rather fringe sport, but still. Makes for great my-country-is-insane stories.
That it does. The guns you describe are more dangerous than blackpowder muskets, which are (well were) actual war weapons. And you use those for fun?!

Are you sure it isn't just the end of the olympics? It sure looks that way for at least some of those.
