I figure "blue" means something else in this context, but let's leave it at that. No need to derail the thread.

No, seriously, thank you.

For now, 20 officials are on a visa blacklist, with a threat of further sanctions. The EU is expected to announce something similar tomorrow.

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

You won’t have to think anymore: it’ll be just like having fun!

Don't be hasty, Master Strange  :D

And if I'm reading that right, those sanctions are only "you can't come to the U.S." with vague threats of maybe some more.

I happen to know this one... "goluboi" is slang for "homosexual."

That hardly makes the expression as a whole make sense.

Yeah, my bad too, I wanted to keep the namecalling stuff out of the thread, but couldn't resist poking fun at Google translate.

Soooo... anyone want to bet on the likelihood of Russian troops in Kyev? I'm betting a crate of my local beer, free shipping to anywhere in the world, that it won't happen. Who'll bet against me?

I highly doubt that it'll happen, but why the hell not? If I win, I'll sure need a drink.

No bet. Putin isn't suicidal enough to test NATO's mutual protection clause.
