Putin is no lunatic nor is he currently "overplaying" his hand. He is an incredibly crafty poker player. The troop buildup on Ukraine's borders is for the purpose of intimidating the new Ukrainian government. He wants them to put a declaration of military neutrality (non-joinder to NATO) and protection for the Russian language into the new Constitution. Assuming they do that, there will be no invasion, and, even if they don't, there probably won't be one either. Even as Putin provides exercises for his troops, the USA and EU threaten meaningless sanctions on people who have no western assets to sanction. The concerns of the London financiers makes certain that their big business partners in Russia (most of whom are Putin cronies) continue to be protected.<br /><br />The $16 billion IMF loan will fund repayments of Ukrainian debt to those oligarchs and to the West's own corrupt oligarchy on Wall Street and the London financial district. If the new leadership in Kiev had any common sense, they would default on all the bonds, and start from scratch. Raising taxes from 15% up to 25%, and doubling the price of gas is not going to help Ukraine's starving masses.Atheist Shruggednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776953281421752782.post-36713660264766875002014-04-01T19:36:00.478+01:002014-04-01T19:36:00.478+01:00Putin has no interest in breaking up Ukraine and s...Putin has no interest in breaking up Ukraine and seeing the Western part join NATO. His interest is to keep the Eastern part in there as a brake on the Westward ambitions of Kiev. As for our oïl and gas glut, winter is only eight months away. Tell the Germans with their 35per cent dependence on Russian gas that they don't really need it. In a month world attention will move elsewhere and the sanctions on Russia will quietly fall. If they don't, then look for Moscow to go big with an Iranian alliance and see how Israel feels, and how edgy America gets as it looks at an Iran war. Funny how people seem to think China's lust to recover Siberia is somehow good, but Russia's to recover Crimea (where every Czar holidayed and half their poets lived) was wicked. Putin did it really fast to take advantage of the chaos in Kiev. It was a master stroke, worthy of Bismarck. And it will pay off, as Crimea prospers while Ukraine becomes Greece number 2 under an EU troika.London's Willynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776953281421752782.post-89609014654245046852014-04-01T19:28:59.448+01:002014-04-01T19:28:59.448+01:00Happy Jack for President!

But he'll have to do for the Tories for now, and they know it.<br /><br />As for why the Liberal Democrats are going along with it, I believe the salaries and limos are only part of the story. What many people don't appreciate fully enough is that although for many years the LibDems projected the image of being woolly bearded sandal wearers to the left of Labour, this was: (a) because under Blair Labour had moved so far to the right; and (b) because whilst most of the rank-and-file membership of the LibDems are indeed woolly liberal lefties, the party was taken over by red-in-tooth-and-claw free market headbangers, the type of liberal who is 'socially liberal' but economically orthodox. Nick Clegg and David *spit* Laws are the apotheosis of this tendency, the Orange Book crowd. It is actually entirely consistent with their beliefs to punish the poor and weak by attacking the welfare system in the way the psychopath Iain Duncan Smith is currently doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776953281421752782.post-61019172413513180202014-04-01T15:05:55.414+01:002014-04-01T15:05:55.414+01:00Good one.Good one.Al Calaviccinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2776953281421752782.post-4848716768171111542014-03-31T23:36:09.602+01:002014-03-31T23:36:09.602+01:00What, you prefer the sniveling relativistic thorou...What, you prefer the sniveling relativistic thoroughly post-modern Jedi?
