France - Exclusive: Fabius warns of further sanctions against Russia
Nobody should stop Russians to help Russians (so as French to help French). The vast majority of the east ukranian habitants are Russians.Everybody has already forgotten, that recently they voted on referendum to secede from Ukrain and to create 2 independent republics - Donetsk republic and Lugansk republic. Is it the good reason to bombe and to murder them?

Inside : Censorship is really bad style. It's like we used it to know in the GDR. It's totalitarianism. There is no much difference between France and it's medium France24 and Russia and RT.

David Cameron, who is holding a speech at the moment, is making a distinction between Islam as a religion and Islam as an ideology, like in ISIS, where it is used politically. I don't buy this distinction. But if you take it, then there is still no difference between ISIS and Saudi Arabia, where Sharia is law, that means, Islam is not only religion, but also political system.

Business - France shines in IMF list of world’s promising economists
Who takes any notice of an IMF selection of economists? The IMF had to choose Piketty but none of the rest are exactly household names and presumably their economic policies are acceptable to the IMF.

@GSfromGermany If the people of Crimea truly say: We don't want to belong to Ukraine, rather we want to belong to Russia, then public international law must follow this, rather than the people must follow the existing public international law. I say: The LAW is MADE FOR the PEOPLE. It is NOT made for it's own purpose, nor is it meant to give powers excuses to rule people, who don't want to be ruled by them. The recent public international law is a relic of ancient times, where monarchs ruled. But back then it was possible to merge regions using marriage. So "the King of Russia" may marry "the princess of Crimea".

Europe - West backs Ukrainian claims of Russian incursion
So NATO encircles Russia with bases and missiles even attempting to draw Georgia and then Ukraine into the front. The U.S. spent (by its own admission) over 5 billion dollars and assigned hundreds operatives in a successful effort to overthrow an elected Ukrainian president to install a fascist leaning government. What idiot would be surprised that Russia comes out fighting? Was that the intent?

I hope not, Fascism should never be tolerated, in any form. if these people take over France, they will end up like the Brits and the Yanks; peasants with no power. The citizens of France do not want to return to the Petain era, of Vichy France. Holland needs to go in the other direction.
