Well, if people are satisfied, I'll just leave the reports alone.
That's why I really like this thread: We have Soviet revisionists, Ukrainian nationalists, Europeans of all sorts, some Americans, in a situation where there's a real possibility that we'll be drafted and sent to kill each other within the next five years. But every time stuff starts getting heated, we somehow sort it out. You don't see that very often.
GI, Comrade, and all you other Russians: How do you think will the Russian economy react to the sanctions? In Germany, summer is getting started, I went out in a T-shirt today - for the next ~9 months oil and gas won't be too desperately needed...
GI comes from Belarus, so he might be unaware. We have Sean here who comes from Russia. And Beznogim, since recently. If I occasionally forget some of you, Russian folks, I'm sorry for that. Just first ones who come in mind.
On the point of economy, our financial minister claims that we fund Crimea from our reserve funds, and the sum named was 50 billion dollars. But since Russia paid something like that for possibility to maintain Black Sea fleet on foreign land, and it is a great recreation zone, we are likely to have maybe even a minor economy boost, or at least have our money back.
But you know, some social researches here say that even if that annexation would cost us, people would accept it just because they are glad to see Crimea in Russia.
