Maybe it is a good time to get a Ukraine wife !!

My co-worker is back from his Turkish vacation. He said Turkish resorts are full of freewheeling Russian women. He modestly described them as "very positive". Might be your option, uncle.

Shortly after the Winter Olympics in Sochi earlier this year, Russia unleashed the rebellion in Ukraine and occupied Crimea. I'm all glad that nothing significant happened after the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

I would like to know why De Margerie was travelling without a PA and the usual entourage that chiefs usually travel with.

It should be about time to bump this to the top again......

It appears once again the world is willing to talk, but not much else.

Nice try, Air! But I"m afraid this time there will be no debate like in the good old times.

I had to Google the quote to make sure I didn't miss anything.

And I agree, it will probably get few if any replies. With the forums so much slower, that's hard to avoid. But it's sad that as much as people talk about how they want to help in some way change the world for the better, most of the time it's just a news story without any reflection on the human side of the entire thing. And as far as governments go, those with some ability to help often still don't, and wait for the rest of the world to do it so then they can in return be critical of how it was done.

I'm hoping for the best, but don't see it likely panning out that way.

I'm very worried about my family, who now live there.

I worked with a guy and him and his wife hit the immigration lottery to come here to the US. AFAIK all their families are still in the Ukraine. I'm going to hit him up over the weekend and see how he's doing.


As much as the world talks.... they will watch it happen.

Crazy times indeed. Just subbing to hear views and sentiments on this BS. The similarities to the Cuban crisis are interesting despite being in reverse.

Does the world have a responsibility to not sit back... or is the risk of there being a WW3 just not worth it?
