Люди тысячами уже теряют работу, и миллионы людей ещё потеряют, в ближайшие месяцы. В том числе в банковской сфере, где вовсю уже идут увольнения.

Мне жалко нормальных, ни в чём не повинных людей.

Но мне совершенно не жалко крымнашистов, которые только лишь несколько месяцев назад, как средневековые зомби, повторяли за Путиным: "Мы всё решим, всё преодолеем, потому что мы -- вместе!"

Путин всех нас обманул, кинул и поставил на бабки. Но тем, которые бились в крымнашистском угаре -- так им и надо.

И никак по-другому всё это быть не могло.

А как вы хотели? Как ты хотел? Что ты думал, что будет, когда в XXI веке Россия напала на Украину, начала убивать украинцев, и отобрала территории? Как ты хотел? Что всё будет по-прежнему и ещё лучше? Потому что так тебе сказал Путин? Потому что так тебе сказал политический, экономический, финансовый и юридический дегенерат? Он сказал, что правда и справедливость на нашей стороне? Потому что Крым -- это важная для нас территория, исторически и стратегически? Что ты сможешь теперь туда ездить отдыхать? А раньше не мог, да? Раньше Турция с Египтом были милее?

Ну ты и получил сполна. Нет. Ещё не получил. Ещё получишь. Сейчас были только цветочки.

А, ты уже Крыма не хочешь? Уже хочешь всё взад вертать? Уже жалеешь, да? Жена недовольна, что тебя с работы выгнали, потому что не на что маленького ребёнка кормить, и она беременна вторым? А она, вместе с тобой слушая Киселева-Геббельса, про ядерный пепел для Америки, умеет строить простые причинно-следственные связи? Если ты разучился?

Нисколько не жалко тебя.

Потому что никто не имеет права быть идиотом.

There is a riddle/joke told informally on the street:

3 things will hit 63 in 2015:

1- Mr. Putin's age (true, he will).
2- The price of oil.
3- The ruble to the dollar.

I can make no forecast, only repeat the riddle.

To be certain, the impact of reverse sanctions linked to the falling ruble and the appearance of price inflation has begun to impact life in Russia. Anyone who says differently is either just dumb, or lying. There is good reason why the government is asking the populace to endure for the sake of saving Russia from the evil West.

Photo Guy, you are right: there are many good and decent Russians. We may disagree, but I count folk like Doll and Belvis as good and decent Russians. But there is also an incredible propaganda campaign that is dished out constantly by a media that has been gutted of independent voices and so even good and decent Russians are hearing one-sided story.

I'll give you this example:  This week there have been skirmishes as the Russian and their separatist forces have tested Ukrainian defensive lines. Yesterday morning a long column of tanks and motorized armoured vehicles left Donetsk and were headed for Mariupol. Most of the tanks and trucks were handpainted with the slogan "на Мариуполь," meaning "to Mariupol." (There is some historical significance in the slogan as the Red Army used the slogan "на Берлин" as troops pushed from the Eastern front on towards Berlin.)

I was exchanging tweets with several other journalists and a reporter for RT responded that the buildup came not from the Russian probing of Ukraine's defenses, but he tweeted that the Ukrainians are "Apparently preparing to intensify the cease-fire." He just could not come out and admit that Ukrainian forces are sitting in defensive positions, and that his comrades might be the aggressors trying to grab another Ukrainian port city.

You want the 13 rubles to be worth 1 USD?  That is a confusing statement.

Perhaps the US is finally going to provide some useful aid to Ukraine.

Russia says will react if U.S. imposes new sanctions


MOSCOW  Sat Dec 13, 2014 5:00am EST

(Reuters) - Russia will take counter measures if Washington imposes new sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine crisis, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Saturday.

The U.S. Congress has readied new sanctions on Russian weapons companies and investors in the country's high-tech oil projects, but U.S. President Barack Obama has yet to sign a corresponding bill into law.

"We will not be able to leave that without an answer," Russia's Interfax news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying. He did not say what form of counter-measure Moscow might take.

Relations between Russia and the United States are at their lowest since the Cold War because of Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in March and its support for pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.

The West says it has firm evidence that Russia has armed the rebels - an accusation that Moscow rejects - and has, together with the European Union, imposed several rounds of economic sanctions on Russian individuals and large companies.

Russia retaliated to the earlier sanctions by restricting food imports from a range of Western countries.

Russia on Friday criticized the Ukraine Freedom Support Act, which foresees further sanctions, saying Washington

I wish nothing good for Putins Russia

im not that anti the russian people or country , MR PUTIN , YES

i can only hope mr putin either reverses his actions in ukraine or is removed/resigns in the near future ,
as mendy states there are many good people who are believing his propoganda wholesale ,

sometimes it is so outragous it is amazing , but given mr vladamirs career and training , it is perfect playbook stuff he knows well

its very hard to counter that without proper balance in the media ,

There is such a thing as the 'PM' function if you wish to address a comment to a particular poster.
Otherwise posting in a foreign language is just plain inconsiderate to other forum readers whom 95% are English speakers only.

There have been people posting some Russian on here for years. Since I can't read it I never paid much attention. It obviously wasn't meant for me and I did not care. Sort of like someone using a French phrase in a conversation.
