Re: Avoiding War in Europe
Putin is too busy with Syria to worry about Europe.
And why invade Europe when they are destroying it themselves
plus he makes too much money out it energy supply.
He has them by the short and curlies anyway !

Putin knows very well how to be useful to whom ever he thinks needs is useful. Also is a lucky man to have the commodities prices high enough for a long of time to help his country's economy.

Re: Avoiding War in Europe
You avoid war in Europe by moving it somewhere else - see Putin's comments yesterday about the US and Russia fighting a proxy war in Syria.

He is not the only one.
Aus benefited and IMHO is one reason China's goes about things the way it does, it can't afford
to become the world's Pariah and have sanctions on it because it needs the raw materials.
Russia can afford to piss people off, as can the US.

Re: Avoiding War in Europe
Thought it had gone a bit quiet...
All four power lines to Crimea blown up last night. Ukraine has been supplying power since the annexation last year, but now cannot.
Hospitals and parts of 3 cities on emergency generators, rest of the place in darkness. Ukrainian flags reportedly found at the bomb sites.
Crimean Ukranians?
Ukrainian rebels?
Ukrainian Government using deniables?
Putin 'false flag'?
Man with the pylon-building monopoly?
Take your pick.

Interesting. Power lines always a good target, easy to cut, hard to defend.

Crimean Tartars getting most of the blame by Russia, it seems

Re: Avoiding War in Europe
Power lines always a good target
If you live in Spain, they come down with no human intervention*. All yesterday afternoon no power here - a force eight gale was blowing so I guess a pylon went down or a flashover.
* Except of course the incompetent expletive-deleteds from Endesa who install the power lines in the first place.

It seems one of the Paris attackers just wasn't quite ready to meet the 72 Virgins
I have a feeling that if the French get to him first, he might well end up leaking like a sieve
and rightly so. I think his "Human Rights" were discarded a few days ago.
