Very, very nasty indeed. And every single broken bone, every single death, every single destroyed life, has been completely unnecessary.

That is so tragic.  

Don't some of those elitists believe that the world is over-populated?

Yes, they do indeed, Lily.

So the evil *******s might think they are doing something positive?

The masked men reportedly clashed with police and security forces at the city’s administration building. Those who have entered the building have also reportedly used tear gas, the Ukrainian 112 channel is saying.

The masked activists were seen holding flags with the insignia of the radical Azov Battalion, which is accused of committing numerous human rights violations in Eastern Ukraine, according to international watchdogs.

“There have been several small clashes between police and people in balaclavas. A few minutes ago somebody let off tear gas. The entrance to the city council is surrounded by a tight police cordon,” a journalist at the scene, from the 112 channel reported.

Poroshenko: Blockade of Crimea Will Bring It Back To Ukraine


Petro Poroshenko commented on the actions of the activists who blocked the roads near the Ukrainian border crossings and are not letting the trucks into Crimea. He believes that the blockade will change the attitude of the inhabitants of the peninsula towards Ukraine and they will come back "under the wing" of Kiev.

"The blockade is the action of the activists of the Crimean Tatar people, and public services - Ukrainian border guards and Interior Ministry - were ordered to ensure law and order and the absence of provocations during the protest", - he said at a joint briefing with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the Yavorovsky polygon in the Lvov region.

According to the Ukrainian leader, the purpose of this action is what he said in an interview with Ukrainian TV channels on Sunday, September 20: Ukraine will do everything for the quick resumption of state sovereignty over Crimea.

At the same time, Poroshenko stressed that the action at the administrative border with Crimea and the intention of activists to block the border with the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldovan Republic are two different actions, as in the case of Crimea "it is the territory of Ukraine, which was captured by soldiers of the Russian Federation in 2014."

Two days ago Crimean Tatars blocked the delivery of food to Crimea, they are holding an open-ended campaign on food blockade of the peninsula. The intent to block the border with Crimea was earlier declared by the [Tatar] deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Refat Chubarov and Mustafa Dzhemilev.

Later other activists of Ukrainian organizations, including prohibited in Russia "Right Sector" joined in.

In Crimea the action was called meaningless. On the peninsula they are convinced the action on the other side of the border will have no effect on the supply of goods to Crimea.

"Crimea will not notice (the consequences of the blockade), and the action reminds me of the script of the cartoon "The Italian job" - where Mario was going to rob a bank, and warned everyone a week before. The purpose of the action to blockade Crimea, is probably exactly the same - to convey to their sponsors that at least something is being done to create a destructive situation at the border with the Republic of Crimea", - the head of the Republic Sergey Aksenov told reporters.

According to Aksenov, he has not seen a more meaningless and stupid action. "In my opinion, the purpose of this action is to distract from their idleness the nationalists who will rest in tents on the border with the Crimea, have some vodka in the evening and so on", - he noted and said that he intends to follow the show on TV screens.

According to him, the Crimeans were prepared for the food blockade - all retail stores have long established contracts with agricultural producers of Crimea and other regions of Russia. "The situation in Crimea is under control, food reserves have been created, the Kerch ferry runs like clockwork. There are no issues. We have been preparing for a while. Today at the markets we have Kursk and Tula potatoes. The process of import substitution was completed", - said Aksenov.

The Kiev authorities, in turn, do not impede the blockade of the peninsula.

Porky is a delusional fool if he thinks this is going to endear him to Crimeans.

Crimea is NOT 'Ukrainian', not least because Ukraine itself is a modern construct, no more than lines badly drawn on a map.

Maybe they shouldn't have ignored the wishes of the people of Crimea when the USSR fell, and they voted overwhelmingly to be Russian, and not lumped in with Ukraine?

PS - Porky seems to have forgotten that Crimeans can see what his US-backed troops, including neo-Nazis, have done to their cousins in Donbass.

Why would anyone want to have anything to do with a failed, disintegrating state where nazis rule the roost?

Another US fail then?

Yes, Lily, brought to you by the same geniuses who created the 'nice rebels' in Syria. EVERYTHING Obama has touched has turned into a total clusterf*ck.

Now, I know some people think the chaos is deliberate, part of some complicated plan, but as it's all unravelled, I've personally discarded that. It's just a clusterf*ck - which tragically, has caused nothing but bloodshed and ruin.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I can go with that.

You cannot fail to appreciate the irony of the Russian Navy leaving the Hero Port of Sevastopol (Washington f*ck-up) to go to the aid of the elected government and people of Syria (Washington f*ck-up).

Are you saying our dear leader has done his usual screw up?

Europe must improve its relationship with Russia and should not let this be something decided by Washington, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Thursday.

The European Union joined the United States in imposing sanctions on Russia last year over its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, and tightened them after separatists launched a rebellion in the east of the country with the backing of Russia.

Relations between Moscow and the West have taken a further turn for the worse since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a bombing campaign in Syria against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad.

Juncker said tensions had to be eased, even if this was not necessarily popular. "We must make efforts towards a practical relationship with Russia. It is not sexy but that must be the case, we can't go on like this," he said at an event in the southern German town of Passau.

Last week U.S. President Barack Obama accused Putin of acting out of a position of weakness to defend a crumbling, authoritarian ally in the Syrian leader.

But Juncker signalled Europe should take a different approach. "Russia must be treated decently," he said. "We can't let our relationship with Russia be dictated by Washington."

EU sanctions are up for renewal at the end of this year and so far the bloc has taken a united line on maintaining them, even though some member states are being hit hard, including by Russian counter-sanctions on Western food imports.


Maybe we need an entire thread dedicated to Obama clusterf*cks? If his aim was to leave the US without a single ally, he's certainly succeeding - Whitehall will bail ASAP too, when they see the way the wind is blowing.

Oh, I forgot!

He'll always have Saudi Arabia.

......aren't we lucky?  

Lily, the money that has been thrown down the toilet on all this is bad enough, but the loss of life caused by it is unforgiveable. In all my years, I have NEVER seen anything like the Obama regime.

I'm sure there is a nice spot received for him in a place that is reported to be extremely hot.

Things you never expected to find yourself saying.... I hope Trump gets elected, he seems to have little interest in meddling in the affairs of other nations, and just by not being an effeminate community agitator will be regarded as an equal by Putin, Xi, etc.

And he isn't on the Soros payroll.

Exactly, Bonny.  

Trump is not my favorite person by a long shot.  I know we have rightly mocked him on a thread here about his Scottish golf course.  However, I think he would be the best shot for the US - and the world.  He has not been bought off and importantly, he is not on that Mr Evil's payroll. 

I hope he wins.
