Sorry Mr Putin, Ukraine is not for you : Comments

By Conrad Liveris, published 16/5/2014

Vladimir Putin's behaviour is reminiscent of the dogmatic communists like Stalin and Brezhnev - centralised power that is in our face.

Wow OUG ,Ihor Kolomoisky isn't just any "oligarch" either.

If the allegations against him are true this is a really horrible betrayal of European Jewry which could have disastrous consequences for ordinary Jews.

I actually started to feel physically ill at the point where they show those beautiful young girls making firebombs to burn out the people in the Union building.

All this unnecessary and tiresome bagging of Putin coupled with references to ancient parables brings to mind the old saw about gardeners in which it is observed that while you can bring a horticulture you can't make her think.

Liveris is so far removed from political reality that I am prompted to breach my own prohibitions and seek a personal explanation. Is it because Conrad is a champion of LGBT parents(gay dads and lesbian mums), and so hates Putin's puritanical Russia?

Russia signed a massive natural gas deal with China a few days ago so they don't really need the Ukraine anymore. It seems increasingly likely that debt-free Russia and booming China will be the first to have settlements on Mars.

Progressive Pat,
Ah so Brzezinski was right all along!
Putin has to walk a fine line, he's got millions of Russian Nationalists, millions of Liberals, millions of Communists and Millions of Asian Muslims whom he has to keep on side in order to proceed, it's really a more Asian society than it is European in that politics and mass movements actually matter, are widely supported and can get things done.

@Progressive Pat
Has your source indicated whether or not the gas deal you mention having been signed between China and Russia was in US dollars?
