    Obviously Putin does not play chess, however, and instead prefers to show his horseback riding adventures to the media instead.

    With the Russian Crimea identified the door for the remainder of the Ukraine to form much closer ties with the EU is opened.
    Isn't the EU big enough already?

        Can't we have one for the Uk to seperate from the EU first
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          No, there are still a few countries that haven't joined.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              The Daily Wail have taken the opporutunity to play a bit of spot the ball, Russian style. I''d say that's missing by about 3 inches.

                I have no such plans. But one might argue the nation of the Ukraine is already divided.

                I do think we should practice what we preach. The US / UK invade Iraq with their democracy but choose to ignore when it suits. It's hypocrisy to the n'th degree.

                Western politics is in meltdown.

                  Good point. But Chechnya is a harborer of extremists.

                    Will when the UK leaves... it'll average out in the end.

                      So are Saudi Arabia and Israel.
