Putin: Eat my bullets and missiles
UN: Read our list of trade agreements. It's very long. And tiring to read. You'll be cross by the time you reach the end.

"Many people say they're not surprised"
Tanks are moving in. Even if a tank crew called me and said we're coming for dinner, I'd still be f***ing surprised by seeing a main battle tank!

West: - We prepare unprecedented, swift, severe, united, astronomical super sanctions package.
Putin: - Good. Leave the package in Kiev. My army is on the way to pick it up.

Silent on Yemen, loud on Ukraine. When your justice system excuses your allies, nine allies will see no need to recognize it. Hope Putin lets peace reign but if u recognized break out regions from USSR u must then recognize breakout regions from Ukraine. Fair is fair. Lives are more precious than politics

Well done ABC. Far more balanced reporting than your colleagues in western msm.
The world needs objective and impartial journalism during these unsettling times.

NATO pushing east was never going to end in well, now many poor people will loose their love one, it's so sad that these people have been caught up in a diplomatic war that should had been avoided.

Remember year of 1938 and how Hitler grabbed Sudetenland and how it led to WW2.
When Adolf Hitler came to power, he wanted to unite all Germans into one nation. In September 1938 he turned his attention to the three million Germans living in part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Sudeten Germans began protests and provoked violence from the Czech police. Hitler claimed that 300 Sudeten Germans had been killed. This was not actually the case, but Hitler used it as an excuse to place German troops along the Czech border.
Soon afterwards, these border territories were annexed from Czechoslovakia, and some time after that, Hitler seized whole country. Czechoslovakia ceased to exists and Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren was formed.
The rest is history.
Never negotiate with terrorists in Kremlin.

Via wikipedia:
"Appeasement policy, the policy of appeasing Hitler and Mussolini, operating jointly at that time, during 1937 and 1938 by continuous concessions granted in the hope of reaching a point of saturation when the dictators would be willing to accede to international collaboration. ... It came to an end when Hitler seized Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939, in defiance of his promises given at Munich, and Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had championed appeasement before, decided on a policy of resistance to further German aggression."
– Walter Theimer (ed.), The Penguin Political Dictionary, 1939
