More Bad News for Russia

[calmissile]

Some number of days ago Russian freight was banned from Polish lands, Now Ukraine has halted Russian freight transport also in areas with more to come. Of course they blocked UA freight is a tit for tat. Turkey has them blocked on the southern route also. I suppose that they can take a log route thru Finland but they're getting tense there too
 Russia is almost blocked from EU access. Isolated....

Good, it is what they deserve.  When Crimea is returned and all the Russian military is removed from Donbass, and reparations are paid, then perhaps Russia can return to the civilized world.  In the mean time the pressure should be kept on Putin to become civilized.

Now it's more than local roadblocks in different regions, Ukraine officially bans transit of Russian trucks.

Good, should have been done a long time ago.

http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/2617331.html  Silly, they just punished themselves, no transit for ukranian trucks through Russia anymore.

[AkMike]

Better check your Pravda again. Russia blocked a train from crossing to China first.

 Of course that after they stole Krym and invaded eastern UA.

[AkMike]

Besides that, Ukraine's blocking of the transit of Russian trucks does not violate any international treaties, in particular, the World Trade Organization. That is the message was from Nataliya Mykolska the Ukrainian Deputy Trade Minister.

Russia's  Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grigory Karasin says Russia has no intention to return control over state border to Ukraine despite the MinskII.

Forbes had a very good artlcle yesterday about the economic situation in Russia with data from polling done by Levada Center, Russia's largest pollster, titled "Signs Of Patience Running Thin In Russia"

[mendeleyev]

In my opinion, it is no accident that Sergei Ivanov (all the security services answer to him) has been publicly elevated to what amounts to the number 2 spot (a position not found in the RF Constitution) recently. He now shares the spotlight at Kremlin events and sometimes chairs meetings that were formerly reserved only for the president.

In a recent interview with state-owned media he went so far to say that not all decisions are decided by the Kremlin.

The bad news: he is thought to be even more of a hardliner than Putin.

Is there a link?

[AkMike]

Do a Google search Doug. 
 I won't post links here.

Is there a link?

AkMike has a history of posting snippets of whatever he can google that fits his agenda.  A sort of obscure, unbalanced 'news blast' of what he thinks is newsworthy and will excite us. 
Just google the entire snippet and you will find the source easily.

Note that he does not engage much in true discourse and most certainly the majority of his posts are construed to provoke rather than expound his personal views and opinion, giving little to rebut.

Barely tolerated, rarely read and best ignored.

Obviously a very lonely troll.

[AkMike]

Because my reply posts seem to disappear just put me on ignore if you don't like the news.

The Israeli paper the Jerusalem Post is reporting that dozens of Russian generals were killed as a car bomb exploded at a military base near Latakia, Syria.  I wonder how many were in Ukraine earlier?

doesn't sound plausible.

Bloomberg Business had a very interesting article yesterday titled," Can Things Get Any Worse for Russia? You're About to Find Out ".

 Its well worth the time to look it over.

Russia Insider reports that Iran has abandoned plans to buy Russian T-90 tanks and instead to build their own. 

[AkMike]

The Moscow Times has now reported that the Kremlin won't comment of the Ahrar al-Sham Jihadist opposition group claim of killing dozens of Russian Generals several days ago.
