« on: December 05, 2014, 02:30:43 pm »If anything, Russian unemployment has decreased since the crisis started.
A interesting thing is, I have a friend (or better said his dad) that went to russia this september to work as construction builder on zenit stadium in santa petersburg. And a lot of workers (that are foreigners) will stop working because they are payed in rubles with rate of 40r for 1 dollar. So by the end of the year the companies will probably stop working on it, as it is just not profitable for them.

« on: December 05, 2014, 09:50:37 am »Ahh, you mean in comparison to crimea, yea I agree. Anyway I am from kosovo, or better said wasQuote from: Guardian G.IProbably the closest analogy that can be applied here is that the Crimea is a part of Russia where much blood was shed for the defence of the country against the invaders. Kind of like Kosovo for Serbians.The hypocrisy of Serbian ultranationalists proclaiming "Kosovo is Serbian, Crimea is Russian" amuses me to no end. The irrationality of such people shines through in this example.Why is it irrational to say that for kosovo?
The analogy isn't anywhere near close. Kosovo was originally Serbian for centuries - since late antiquity even. Russia invaded Crimea which was never Russian to begin with just 200 years ago, occupied the country and later expelled the indigenous population to settle it with civilised Slavic master race who always know better than the natives. Russians are closer to the Albanians in Kosovo except the Russians possibly have less of a moral right to be there considering the Albanians settled peacefully.

« on: December 05, 2014, 09:18:43 am »Poroshenko used to be a paid CIA informant? lol, that's going to really start the conspiracy theories rolling, though it may have already.Just posting thing that show that CIA and USA is a lot more interested in all this long time before all this problems started.
Also, how does being a paid CIA informant make one corrupt?
Also WTF? A person is paid by a CIA doesn't make him corrupt? Do you know what CIA is? What is it doing in ukraine a foreign country, and what for does it need information?
Let me guess you are a american?

They do not function fully separately from kosovo and there is also tendency to slowly move it and fuse it with the albanian kosovo government. But majority of people living there do not acknowledge kosovo as independent state, or its government.
But lets go back to ukraine, as I found some interesting things.
Ukraine parliament fight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O4hVnLGAgM
"Reuters (among other news agencies) is reporting a brawl broke out in the Ukrainian Parliament today when government members approved the appointed foreign-born members of the government cabinet.
After the vote, the People's Deputy Vladimir Parasyuk began requesting an explanation of vote (as he was uncertain if this move was constitutionally appropriate), but the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groisman peremptorily refused it...
And fist-t-cuffs broke out, mainly with the more fascist-minded members of the Svoboda Party throwing punches."
The interest thing i found is Mr. Poroshenko was exposed as thoroughly corrupt by wikileaks back in 2008 (as the leaked memos make very clear, Mr. Poroshenko worked as a paid informant of the US State Department since 2006; Mr. Poroshenko is refered to as "Our Ukraine insider," and much of the cable referred to information that he was providing to the State Department and the CIA on a pay-to-play basis.

« on: November 20, 2014, 02:45:25 pm »Or lack of choice.
Anyway, any of the Russian speaker here could track down that interview by Strelkov? Apparently he claims he started the war with a squad of special forces, the guys that took over Donetsk's government building at the very beginning.
I think this is the interview
http://zavtra.ru/content/view/kto-tyi-strelok/
But its long and so far can not find it
The dude said he had over 20 000 volontiers in may, but did not have enough arms to accept them all...

« on: November 19, 2014, 03:26:14 pm »That tank is t-72b variation from 1989. There is no t-72bm
How likely that Russia sends their newest version of T-72 without their own crews?
Ukraine doesnt have active t 72b tanks, but they do/did have them stored in unknown numbers and did sell i think around 10 or more of them several years ago (or wanted to sell, dont remember now)
T-72B3 is the russian new (old updated) version that only russian has that they are trying to refer to on that pictures (and to make it more clear, that is T-72B3, not t 72bm)

« on: November 19, 2014, 08:22:22 am »The thing is if this was not valid, it would be denied the moment it was posted, But that didn't happen, and opposite thing happened.I still wonder why nobody has tried to do a voice analysis of that tape. I mean, it is possible to find videos of Nuland speaking into a camera and then compare her voice to the one on the tape.Yea. One of the person in the video apologies for saying fuck EU, including US blaming russia for leaked content. So it's pretty much confirmed that the transcript is legit.... you do realize Nuland isn't physically on record for apologizing, and the actual source for your statement is from a person who is basically "Political Double-Speak, the Job" claiming it happened (without any context or framing for whatever nuland actually said, if anything), right?

You also have this video.

Yes there is no record of apologizing on TV, is that what you want (as it was done in private)? Are you trying to say someone else apologies for her from US so it means the thing she said is not true on the transcript (or that generally US government said she apologies in private)?
