Putin will be in the driver’s seat come Winter. The EU will rue the day they agreed to the U.S. economic sanctions against Russia. When they are freezing their asses off and their economies are a shambles in January, the sanctions will be lifted. Book it Dano.
Europeans can count on Russia to supply all the gas they need to stay warm this winter, according to Vladimir Putin. But the President warned that any action by Ukraine to disrupt the transit of fuel, will be felt across the EU. Read More: http://on.rt.com/sax0ov
The French already reneged on their sanction promise to not supply the Russians with two helicopter carriers. I am POSITIVE there is other reneging going on ‘under the table’. Sanctions RARELY work, everyone knows that. Well, the head nigger in chief doesn’t.

In other news, Philly is slated to get 6 – 8 FEET of snow this winter. You got a snow-blower yet?
I have two teenagers and three shovels.
I wonder if Gazprom would be a good investment idea?
It is fascinating to me that for hundreds of years now, the Europeans have treated Russia like a red headed stepchild.
Many times if you look at all kinds of different data maps of Europe, the data just stops at the eastern Poland border. Kind of like dropping off the edge of the world on medieval maps. Dragons be there.
It is almost never acknowledged by the Euro-dilettantes that Moscow is in fact, the largest city in Europe. The whole Metro is nearly 20 million.
The Europeans hold themselves in such high regard, and they are continuously forgetting that Russia is not only their neighbor and technically half in Europe, but they like to pretend that as soon as you cross that border there lies a country of bearded Rasputins living in Siberian log huts.
They prefer to forget that the Russians utterly defeated the two biggest military expansionist campaigns of the last two centuries – Napoleon and Hitler.
The Russians are laughing at them. They could give a fuck less what Frau Merkel thinks or that toady David Cameron. They know that Russian cities and towns are heated roasty toasty all winter long, virtually for free via the hot water system, and they don’t care one fucking whit that half of Europe – and especially Ukrania – is going to be burning the antique furniture to keep warm this winter.
The west is a smug asshole that about to have its ass whipped by the bad kid that lives in the big house at the end of the road.
Underestimate the Russians at your own peril, fools.
We have 38 acres of land, at least half of which is needing to be cleared of deadfall and unneeded trees. And a wood stove.
Bring it.
Strange Liaisons? Putin Visits Berlusconi’s Home At 3am After Warning Merkel Of Gas Squeeze
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/17/2014 09:44 -0400
It appears Bunga-Bunga boy still has something to offer the international elite. After a lengthy meeting with Germany’s Angela Merkel (at a hotel in Milan) where Putin warned of “big transit risks” in delivery of Europe’s gas as Ukraine is “starting to siphon off our gas from the export pipeline,” and threatening to respond by “reducing flows by the amount stolen;” Putin decided the place to be was 78-year-old Berlusconi’s house at 3am. Finally, it is worth noting that Ukraine’s President Poroshenko was scheduled to meet with Frau Merkel this morning – we assume to plead his case for why gas transit should flow through his nation (and beg for some more support).
As Bloomberg reports,
Russian President Vladimir Putin flew into Milan last night for peace talks with European Union leaders after threatening to cut the supply of natural gas through Ukraine if the government in Kiev diverts fuel for domestic use.
…
“There are big transit risks,” Putin, who denies involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, said yesterday in Belgrade, Serbia. If Russia sees its Ukrainian partners “are starting to siphon off our gas from the export pipeline network, we will respond by reducing flows by the amount stolen.”
And then, as WSJ reports,
Russian President Vladimir Putin perhaps couldn’t resist an invite from his Italian chum, former Premier Silvio Berlusconi, in the early hours of Friday to his mansion in Milan.
…
A Russian presidential spokesman said Mr. Putin visited “his old friend” Mr. Berlusconi following an invite from the Italian politician. Mr. Berlusconi heads Italy’s biggest opposition party.
President Putin, 62, must have felt the need to relax after his meeting with Ms. Merkel at 1.36 a.m. CET on Friday. He drove off with a large police escort, which included dark limousines, to Mr. Berlusconi’s house and stayed there until roughly 3 a.m.

Strange Liaisons indeed…
Little known facts, might shed some light on Germany’s feelings towards Russia.

Per your link provided, Hagar, horrific Russian rapes and murders of German women are probably true. Then again, the Germans committed the same sort of atrocities in Russia. Or did you forget who invaded whom?
And I don’t care if all this shit occurred during or just after the war. Human nature will instinctively turn very cruel when cruelty is unnecessarily inflicted. Payback is a bitch.

Which is why the bell tolls for us.
