That bombers look like an attempt to intimidate NATO before Russian large scale attack on Ukraine.

EU concludes that catoNazi Poland is one of the best places to live if you are a woman and don't want to be molested and/or abused. And who hits 80% rate of woman being molested? Sweden. Why do I have the feeling that our way seems to be better?

Alternatively, maybe it is underreported

It'd also be a rather big PR failure for the Kremlin.

Of course, Rosneft's leadership was ringing this alarm bell the whole time.
>implying Kremlin has any PR to lose after annexing Crimea

That's a good one.
Well, they could lose face in front of russian voters. What ever would Putin do if he can't get enough votes to be re-elected?  :P
I'll reveal a terrible truth about Russian people: most of them absolutely do not care about banks or large corporations going bankrupt. At all.

Putin keep posturing. At this rate he'll get his country locked out of the SWIFT network. That would mean the end of Russia's economy.
Last time I checked, the SWIFT company did not wanted to exclude Russia on the basis of it being international apolitical company. Any talks about doing that therefore can be only made against the SWIFT company's will.



EDIT: The Gasprom have left the what was called by European energy minister (IIRC) as "final and definitive" three-way talks. Coupled with the Pan Gi Mun saying that the elections in DNR/LNR would harm the peace, and Russia already pledged that it will recognize them, I'm going to assume the hostilities will resume at large somewhere around 2 November.

I have heard that so often from Russians. Why should I care about problems of oligarchs? They don't remember their own jokes.

"-Daddy, Vodka is two times more expensive now. Hurray! You will drink less
-Wrong, son. You will eat less"

Even if we omit macroeconomical effects of collapsed banks, Russian oligarchs will compensate their loses by robbing Russian people

Even in 2008, the prices of all necessary goods have not risen much. I believe this will remain to be so.

I didn't, the Agency did. It's in the survey, just check the link. The page is JavaScripted, I think, so I can't point you to the exact point on it, you have to take a look yourself.

Maybe, but the Agency itself (again) says it's not - Poland has on of the highest values when it comes to actually reporting cases of violence to the police or other services and organizations...

Companies don't like to be part of sanctions, that cost them money, and in this case goes against what make them valuable. They have to obey, though, and will do so more willingly if Putin keep sanding bombers in our airspace.

Seeing as USSR despite doing that and more for 30+ years wasn't excluded from UN, I highly doubt that.

It was considerred before that, and Russia take it seriously. If Europe accept that step, Russia and China could try to do "their own swift" but that would be all benefits for China and bar Russia from most if not all trading with the west.


In that event, someone who make a visible and reliable bitcoin marketplace for western/russian trade could make a small fortune I guess. What is your field of work again? :D I'm tech!
