guardian | The US and its allies in Europe are expected to announce sanctions
against Russia, including visa bans and potential asset freezes, one day
after Crimeans voted to secede from Ukraine and join Russia.
The
US president, Barack Obama, told his Russian counterpart, Vladimir
Putin, on Sunday that Crimea’s vote “would never be recognised” by the
United States, as he and other US officials warned Moscow against making
further military moves toward southern and eastern Ukraine.
The
leaders spoke after people in Crimea voted overwhelmingly in favour of
the split in a referendum that the US, European Union and others said
violated the Ukrainian constitution and international law and took place
in the strategic peninsula under duress of Russian military
intervention. Putin maintained that the vote was legal and consistent
with the right of self-determination, according to the Kremlin.
Russia’s
lower house of parliament will pass legislation allowing the Crimea
region to join Russia “in the very near future”, Interfax news agency
said on Monday, quoting the chamber’s deputy speaker.
The final
results of the referendum showed that 86.8% of voters had supported
union with Russia, the head of the election commission said. Mikhail
Malyshev told a televised news conference that the commission had not
registered a single complaint about the vote.
“The results of
the referendum in Crimea clearly showed that residents of Crimea see
their future only as part of Russia,” the deputy speaker of the State
Duma, Sergei Neverov, was quoted as saying.
But the White House
said Obama reminded Putin that the US and its allies in Europe would
impose sanctions against Russia should it annex Crimea. Fist tap Woodensplinter.

Can you blame someone for staying home when this is advertised? They need to be pistol whipped and shot in the ass for wasting my time.
Interesting that on a day when the POTUS announced "sanctions against seven Russian and four Ukrainian officials," and the EU announced sanctions "on 21 individuals, including several Russian military commanders," "Russia’s ruble rose versus all of 31 major counterparts as the Micex index of Russian stocks climbed 3.7 percent after slumping 7.6 percent last week." The DJI rose 181.55 points, and Putin responded to the sanctions by signing "a decree recognizing the Ukrainian region of Crimea as an independent state."
Sink was sunk, despite help from Slick.

THERE WERE NO "CLINTON ERA SURPLUSES!!!!!!!!"
They COUNTED THE MONEY TAKEN IN for Social Security and Did not Deduct the "IOUs" that were should have been counted as an "Expense".
This nation is on a Crash Course for economic disaster.
The ONLY thing saving the "Fiat Economy" of the USA is that nearly ever other economy in the world is MORE FEEBLE and thus investors keep plowing their money into America's debt that itself WILL NEVER BE PAID BACK.
As long as the Federal Reserve keeps creating FAKE MONEY ($75 billion per month) to grease the skids all is fine.
THE BETTER MEASURE OF "ECONOMIC GROWTH" is had by looking at GROUPS OF PEOPLE within America and their ABILITY TO DEVELOP THEMSELVES relative to their economic competition in the USA and the outside world.
NOT from a CONSUMER stand point but from EDUCATION and AGGREGATE ABILITY TO ATTRACT WEALTH.
In this index WE ARE LOSING
Must we remunerate the Rothschilds?
Why not instead declare a jubilee and repudiate the bankster's debt enslavement?
While we're at it, why not initiate WW-III, anihilate surplus labor, decimate accumulated capital wealth, and massively depopulate, resetting the entire global system, averting the anthropocene extinction, and starting over from an edenic baseline with a minimal regret population selected for knowledge, skill, and ability?
(dood, why you always shouting?)
What exactly don't I get Bro. Feed?
