Also you sources said it would not be cheap if it would be according to current capacity and it does not mentio the EU will build new LNG terminals.

Because you're trying to claim that the Ukrainian government is making the actions of historical neo-Nazis groups as unquestionable, when the law states (as it does in your quote) that the groups that the law applies to include those that fought the Nazis.
Ergo, you're trying to push the narrative that the Ukrainian government is a bunch of Nazi sympathizers.
Shofercia wrote:Geilinor wrote:That's why you don't call the entire Ukrainian government run by neo-Nazis, something Russia was fond of doing.
Yats sided with Right Sector. Isn't he like the PM or something?
http://news.yahoo.com/poroshenko-faces- ... 13671.htmlThe Ukrainian government's near silence on the crisis was broken Monday when Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk came out firmly on Pravy Sektor's side. Yatsenyuk has issued orders "to dismiss all Zakarpattia customs service employees," his office said in a statement.
Oh yeah. Yats doesn't just want to take on Putin, he wants a piece of Orban too. Him and his 2% approval rating. So Geilinor, when the prime minister, openly sides with Neo-Nazis, now can we call them Neo Nazis?The politically more cautious Poroshenko appeared to prefer the middle ground by blaming both sides. The president opened Monday's security meeting by accusing "the Zakarpattia smugglers of throwing down a challenge to all of Ukraine." But he also blamed Pravy Sektor -- whom he called "true patriots" -- of allowing "banal criminal gangs" enter its ranks. A senior Ukrainian security service source said most in the government believed Pravy Sektor was far less innocent than it claimed. Pravy Sektor "itself is trying to win a piece of the contraband business," the security source said. "The problem for Ukraine is that there are a lot of armed people who view themselves as heroes and try to establish their brand of order through force," said the source. "Something like this was bound to happen -- and it did."
Ahhh yes, Zakarpatia. That's near Hungary. Can't wait to see how the Western Media will spin it to blame Putin. Here's what I think happened: while there was trouble in Kiev, (when isn't there,) the locals began running their own, efficient economy. The Right Sector went in and told them to start paying tribute. They told the Right Sector to fuck off, so being the Neo-Nazi bullies they are, Right Sector attacked and got its ass kicked, and thus ran to Kiev to threaten Poroshenko/Yats, that if more help doesn't arrive, they'll send battalions against Kiev, blah, blah, blah. Right Sector's bad ass at killing women and children, but when confronted even with local militias, they demand aid.

No, it's really not. Amazingly enough, my analogy is just limited to, *gasps*, my analogy. Although it's funny that you bring up Saakashvili, while talking about others being warmongers. That's really fucking hilarious. Saakashvili assaulted South Ossetia in 2004. Failing that, he started building up his armed forces, spending obscene amounts of money on them, only to waste them in an operation that he launched on August 7th, against South Ossetia. Even though Saakashvili engaged the Georgian armed forces on August 7th, and the Russians didn't respond until August 8th, the Western Press "heroically" claimed that Russians started the war, because they're either idiots who don't comprehend that 7 precedes 8, or were pretending to be idiots who cannot comprehend that 7 comes before 8, or perhaps there was some other reason, like Putin actually providing an alternative to the Western system of government, and they're being butthurt about it, more more on that later.
Saakashvili rightfully gets accused of corruption, because, *gasps* he was corrupt. http://www.tol.org/client/article/23965 ... tions.html
For some odd reason, the most "freest of the free" in the Western Press didn't really pick up on how Saakashvili grew the economy. Must be magic. Since most people don't want to pay to read that article, let me cite a summary:
Of course this "economic miracle" was spent on the military: http://militarybudget.org/georgia/
In 2003, Georgia's military budget was $96.3 million. In 2007, the year before Saakashvili's attack, it was $1,201 million. In 2003, that was 1.1% of the GDP. In 2007, it was 9.2% of the GDP. But you should continue to tell us all about how glorious Saakashvili is and how teh ubah ebul Putin is, after all, free speech is freedom to post no matter how uninformed you are.
I actually can't read that article as it requires a susbcription, but I can say it sounds like a small issue that got severely bloated, as quite a few Saakashvili detractor stories work. Even if it is true, he made the country livable, so unless you want to take back what you said earlier Saakashvili's corruption must be forgiven.

I should point out that after Litvenenko's death, there really wasn't much, (or any,) murder, although the "most fair and balanced, trusted, and oh progressive name in news" wants to pretend that Putin also wacked Berezovsky, which is funny, because Berezovsky became worthless after losing his trial to Abramovich. Oh, you mean civilians? MH-17 was an accident and murder requires intent. During the Ossetian War, one of the reasons for not taking Tbilisi was the possibility of massive civilian casualties, so no, that doesn't count. Ukraine? Not sure if casualties would've been higher if Putin didn't intervene, after all, Neo-Nazi thugs deliberately burned pro-Russian protesters in Odessa, so their rampage through the DonBass might've caused even more civilian casualties.
Nemtsov too don't forget him.
And I'm sure that the reason they didn't enter Tbilisi after burning down those villages along the way, was because they had a devotion to preserving human life.
But what if Putin never backed Yanukovych, might this whole calamity have been avoided?

When you're in the middle of a conflict, it isn't unheard of to NOT LET ENEMY SYMPATHIZERS INTO YOUR COUNTRY. However, go ahead and continue to play your silly Nationalist games. It's entertaining, at least.

Well, you just made your point for me. It's not about LETTING ENEMY SYMPATHIZERS INTO YOUR COUNTRY, it's about BANNING MEDIA FOR ITS IDEOLOGICAL OR SOCIAL CONTENT ALONE. That doesn't concern you?

He was ousted by popular vote and months of protests. I said that corruption can be excused from a pragmatic perspective in certain cases. Broom rape in prison is probably not one of those cases. Nor is that a small issue, since by taking away the rights of private property from some individuals without proper compensation, well that tends to scare investors who are doing high quality investments, and they're going to run away from Georgia.

And the motive to kill Nemtsov was? Oh right, there wasn't any. Nemtsov is rather easy to forget. And yes, some village were burned. That happens in warfare, tragically. It was the wrong thing to do.

As for Putin backing Yanukovich, you seem to forget that Ukraine's economy was going to go downhill, unless either the EU or Russia aided. The Russian terms were better, so Yanukovich went with Russia and Putin backed that.

Ordinary people were warned and allowed to escape before Georgian Troops entered Tskhinvali, it wasn't mercilessly shelled.
Ближе к вечеру стороны договорились о прекращении огня, вскоре последовало неожиданно миролюбивое выступление Михаила Саакашвили по грузинскому телевидению. Многие решили, что произошедшее было очередной грузинской провокацией, которая только что закончилась. В хорошее так легко верится... Ближе к полуночи, когда город отходил ко сну, раздался первый оглушительный взрыв. За ним последовал второй... После третьего сомнений не осталось - надо спускаться вниз.
Обстрел продолжался всю ночь, без пауз. Дважды слышался рев двигателей низко пролетавших самолетов, и сразу за ним резкий, оглушающий звук разрывающихся реактивных снарядов... В висках стучала единственная мысль: "Господи! Если ты все это видишь - спаси нас, Господи!!!".
Я же во время обстрела "Градом", сидя на корточках и закрыв голову руками, громко выла, словно пытаясь заглушить царивший вокруг грохот.
