Russian public opinion, in fact, does not support the idea of invasion: the latest polls by the Moscow Public Opinion Foundation showed that only 5 per cent of Russians want the regular army to fight in Ukraine. But not many Russian citizens are ready to demonstrate against the war.
Nice to see that Baghdad Bob is working again.
Putin has learned how to lie well from obama, the LIAR in chief. I’m rather surprised putin hasn’t blamed his invasion on Bush.
IMHO he is just biding his time and waiting for Winter. He can then go without Euros longer than Europeans can go without heat, and everyone knows that. So the EU will get their gas when he gets the Ukraine.
If Barack won’t call it an invasion it must not be an invasion! Period!
Did he learn that from us or did we learn that from him"
In Russia and America, the will of the people is irrelevant. The government will do as it damn well pleases and it’s up to the propagandists to sell it. Here, that’s the mission of the MSM.
Russia acts like our own politicians. The difference is that Russia is being belligerent against a foreign nation and out politicians are being belligerent against the People.
Good grief, it's not as if they were Tea Partiers or something.
Like so many of these threads, if the posters don’t want to openly defend the new Soviet Putin, then they turn the thread into an anti-America thread, or anti-Obama thread as an indirect way of diluting or sidetracking criticism of the Russian goals they support.
Instead of creating WWIII Putin should have worked on Russia’s economy which would have helped his people. This little man is just as insane as Hitler was and he eventually will put Russia in the trash heap. This little man says he has nukes? What? Damn what a stupid nitwit. Most of the damn world has them and what does this idiot think our armament is?

and increase the oil production:
The main cause for the recent fall in oil prices is that weakening demand is being met by rising production. West African crude exports to Asia were near record levels in September, a Reuters survey of traders showed, and the North Sea market remained well supplied.
Production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rose, despite conflicts in Iraq and Libya.
OPEC, which supplies a third of the world's oil, raised its output in August from July, with higher supply from Libya, Angola and Iran, a Reuters survey found.

the result will be this:
“With the significant deterioration in the Ukrainian situation, markets may treat this as a Lehman-style shock,” Kantarovich wrote in an e-mailed report Friday. “Revisiting the post-Lehman lows would imply downside of 50 percent from an index perspective.”
The bank recommends reducing Russian investments because “markets may no longer assume a quick and easy resolution of the conflict and ‘worse before better’ seems a likely sequence.”

If that is the case then Putin better get this war over with quickly by hitting the Ukrain with the big hammer, smashing thier military and taking control of the region.
Before installing the sepertist as the new government and getting out.
Let the seperiotist handle all the domestic messyness for a few years, while Putin and Russia claim to take their hands off the sittuation.
(Thus leaving the west do do what it won’t do commit troops to restore pro-westerns to power)
In a few years after the sepertist have taken control of crimina and the Ukraine is still struggling wiht itself. Russia can move in to do the formal annexation of the Nation of Crimina. Easy and clean.
