Ukraine's European Revolution?

Wait, is that suppose to hurt us or them?

I love how his threat apparently is "STOP OR WE'LL LET OUR COMPANIES DEFAULT! TAKE THAT AMERICANS!".

Why is every second reply to me is "oh, you are Hungarian, of course you don't know better"?

For shame, Languish.

Apparently RT's reply to Ms. Martin is:

"In her comment Ms. Martin also noted that she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea. As such we'll be sending her to Crimea to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicentre of the story."

Rough!

it treason."

There is also a rhyming Russia saying: "Мятеж не может кончиться удачей, В противном случае его зовут иначе."

There's a Swedish saying: Hallå där, köp blåbär!

I imagine that many Russian business owners had their hearts skip a beat hearing that.

According to the article and some other sources the guy that said this is just a bag of wind they routinely put out to look tough, but has no actual say in policy. But it is still funny. Apparently he's claimed Russia can tank the US economy too.

It seems the most logical explanation for why you post the way you do at times.

Russia can turn us into a nuclear wasteland, so they probably have some ability there.

So the Russian government is tanking their economy over threats that they know won't be credible?  How very Russian of them.

Russia is so weak, but with so many nuclear missiles, best not to corner them especially when they might even accidentally do it to themselves.

One analyst commented that the worst possible outcome is if the Russian leadership starts believing their own propaganda.

I actually seriously doubt that.

My suspicion is that their nuclear arsenal in reality works about as well as most of their high tech military equipment - barely, if at all.

Of course, that suspicion is not really enough to make policy on...

Reuters:

The Strategic Rocket Forces launched an RS-12M Topol missile from the southerly Astrakhan region near the Caspian Sea and the dummy warhead hit its target at a proving ground in Kazakhstan, the state-run news agency RIA cited Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Yegorov as saying.
