Just imagine the sheer agony of waking up tomorrow morning and all your Russian assets are frozen and can't be transferred. You'd no longer be allowed to conduct transactions using the ruble and countries like China and N. Korea may not take your money either. Would you be able to live with that hanging over your head?



Huh? Professional courtesy? Or is Yelena Mizulina, State Duma deputy, dictating Putin's next move.



Let me guess. No more Disney comps?

Not unless the State Duma Secretary has some tickets she needs to scalp. If so you may have to pay in rubles until further notice. The travesties of war.

What we're doing to the list of eleven is almost inhumane.

Don't worry the freeze of all U.S. assets/transactions will work as soon as they try to access their Netflix and porn accounts.

A referendum cobbled together in less than two weeks in the presence of thousands of undercover Russian soldiers will hardly show the true will of Crimea’s people, especially since the Crimean Tatars have pledged to boycott it. The Tatar community, which makes up 14 percent of the population, now fears it will be targeted as a result.

Crimea’s actual conflict isn’t ethnic; it’s the split between the suspicious, fearful sovok, or Soviet, mentality and a new generation of free minds. It’s little surprise that tearing down statues of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, has become so controversial.

This conflict is between the 20% Tatar community and the majority. The Tatars are muslims and to believe they represent a generation of free minds is both insane and insulting.

An example of 'Free Minds' at work "a husband can have sex with his wife regardless of her consent. The bill also prevents women from leaving the house without their husband's permission, would restrict women's rights in matters of parental custody after divorce and make it easier for men to take multiple wives."
