Ok, at least I have contributed to the restoration of order after Mongers' terrorist actions.

I'm glad that "War in the east" title wasn't picked at the winner.  Threads shouldn't have a title that will become dated in a week.

It's not too late yet.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The mayor of Slavyansk has announced she's been a secret agent for Kiev:
Let's bomb Russia!

Civilians were sending me letters asking for me to intervene and protect them with the justice of Neilism.
Good, we need a firm ruler to guide us.  :)

Was that a confession or a gotcha? :unsure:

Playing into Mr Putin's hands?

I caught 5 minutes of RT and they're certainly bigging up this 'offensive'.

I don't get this. A mayor admitted to being on the side of the legal government? What is the exact news value on this?

I think at this point "Playing into Putin's hands" phrase should be put to rest.  If an aggressive neighbor demands that your government cease functioning or there will be intervention, and your government continues to function, that is not playing into his hands.  That's just your neighbor essentially declaring war on you back when he first made the demand.

Yeah I agree. Having armed men depose your local governing bodies and installing their own is basically an invasion and if a government cannot at least attempt to stop that, it ceased to exist.

:rolleyes:  That's precisely what Putin would want you to say.

After all Guantanamo's original name was Surbiton.

:hmm:  I thought it was Hounslow.

I wish Ukrainians every success in defeating the secessionist and annexationist forces. However, sometimes the long game can pay off too:
