Europe - Ukraine deal 'a last chance’ to avoid war, Hollande says
Putin won't go to the diplomatic solution. He trusts only in force of arms. It occupy part of Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine. Ukraine which has the third in the world after the US and Russia nuclear potential, voluntary gave 5000 warheads and cruise missiles, destroys launching silo, and 43 strategic Tu-160 and Tu-95МС superbombers went to scrap metal. The USA, United Kingdom and Russia default on the Budapest memorandum. Now none of them wants to give the weapon to Ukraine. I think in our civilization now all understand that only the weapons of mass destruction are capable to protect the nation. - from Joey Tranchina, 1 day 20 hours 10 minutes ago
Europe - France detains six from suspected jihadi network
These mini-jihadis pose a much greater threat to us here, in France, than that do as cannon-fodder or 12-hour-wives with Daesh in Syria. Why not offer them a trade — plane tickets for passports. You can go BUT you can never come back. Seems to me that offers the possibility of solving two problems at the same time. I do not want to make light of this. They do represent a significant threat to unarmed civilians as any coward can, but the fact is, on a battlefield, they won't amount to much. I do not know how many would come forward to accept such an offer, but I see no reason not to propose that exchange to any adult who wants to go. - from Joey Tranchina, 1 day 20 hours 10 minutes ago
Europe - Ukraine deal 'a last chance’ to avoid war, Hollande says
"There is no good war or bad peace." I doubt anyone here disagrees with that, in principle. However, there is very little point in making an agreement with a pathological liar. I do not believe Putin would keep any agreement. There is no biographical data on Putin to indicate anything different than that. This charade in Ukraine is clearly generated to take focus off of the grotesque failure of Putinism and the pervasive corruption which has failed to prevented Russia from generating a modern economy. If I've learned anything in 70 years, Putin's action will not stop here. As was said on the ranch where I grew up: "Rattlesnakes don't commit suicide." I can't see how this gets fixed, if support for the Ukraine means nothing more than "defensive weapons." No sanctions can hurt Putin, personally, when he has ±$40B (USD) and he knows that if he goes out of power he will go into prison but we must remember Stalin didn't have a stock market. I don't think even major economic sanctions will change Putin's mind-set but it might change his hold on power. If my analysis is correct, nothing else with change anything. Without question, this scenario is shaping up very badly. If the "civilized" world is not willing to pay up to stop the Potemkin Mirage of brutal Russian aggression in Ukraine, the world must have a death wish. - from stonehillady, 1 day 20 hours 10 minutes ago
Europe - Hollande, Merkel leave Moscow after Ukraine talks
Has any media outlet shown any proof that Russian hardware or troops are in Ukraine ? Or just Americans blowhards saying so.....Why is it that both Ukrainians & Russians fleeing into Russia and the Ukrainian men want nothing to do with joining their military, it seems the "NEW" people in charge their are doing ethnic cleansing of Russians enclaves where women and children are the victims. Remember, America neo-cons said Saddam of Iraq had WMD's and now after millions died there, there never was any WMD's. either. So, I won't trust America for they have a Industrial Military Complex to feed and Usury Charges to pay their bankers, so war is very profitable for their bottomline. - from CatherineDeneuve, 1 day 17 hours 29 minutes ago
Business - The debt write-off behind Germany's 'economic miracle'
Another French attempt to compare apples with kangaroos. Germany did not borrow its war debt, it was imposed at Versailles. c100 years later you are still lying about it. - from Charles Smyth, 5 days 9 hours 34 minutes ago
Europe - Hollande and Merkel in Russia to push Ukraine peace plan
As of now, neither France nor Germany is directly threatened by Russia's belligerent actions and hegemonic ambitions. However, for the Baltic and eastern European states that are directly threatened by Russia's belligerent actions and hegemonic ambitions, they have the backing of the US. which has no intention of accepting Russia's attempts to win the war via France and Germany's capitulation to peace at any price. As Caesar would say to Czar Putin: Si vis pacem, para bellum . . . - from markjuliansmith, 5 days 9 hours 34 minutes ago
Europe - Hollande and Merkel in Russia to push Ukraine peace plan
"French President François Hollande and German Chancellor Merkel head to Russia with Ukraine peace plan" Have we not seen a French President or was it the French Prime Minister giving away someone elses land sometime back. Apparently he flew into the Paris airport seeing a huge crowd from the plane windows thought he was going to be lynched but no the Parisian crowd was there to praise caesar for enabling 'Peace in our time'. We have such short memories. I wonder if those who suffered terribly as a result of this generosity with other peoples lands are watching again in horror from the otherside? Ironic is it not Germany is this time joining in? The result will be ....... - from Cyril McCurrt, 5 days 9 hours 34 minutes ago
