"that's why I come down against online poker. "
That's why I come down against poker in general if you spend real money. You can't really control its honesty in RL let go online.

peace in our time.

"he is not in power anymore, and it seems that many many govermental buildings in charkov or donezk are occupied by pro russian protestors. They may be on a smaller scale then the maidan protest but also they are just not really present in our  media. "
I don't know about Germany, but they are present in ours. Timetable corresponds to the scale or exceeds it.

"At what point did he loose it?"
He lost it long ago when he decided to strip the parliament of his powers and give it to himself. Only now, with the new gov the power of parliament is somewhat restored. I'm not lying. You can look it up. He had almost total power. He could rule by decree like Putin. Next to that he never had a majority of votes, and he was never voted to become dictator.

"But if the people in the eastern ukrain want to be tied to russia it is their decision. Its not to the west to tell them that they dont want it."
Large bits of the population are fooled by nationalist/anti western propaganda for almost a century what do you expect? I don't care if they go anti-EU as long as they remain a democratic state.

I think we should take a tougher stand on stal... er putin and FORCE him to become more democratic. We should have forced them into letting media be free when we had the upper hand after USSR broke up. We owe it to those people even if they don't realize it themselves because they are presented a blurred vision upon the world. When people where starving in USSR during Stalin many thought they were still better off.

Give Putin the krim if we have to but save the people of Ukraine and offer them a future.

"yes lol"
I wouldn't know what to answer if you said "no lol".

"but you barely see pro janukovic demonstrations which in fact do happen in eastern ukrain."
But they are on a lesser scale. Which is logical as he is in power.

"Janukovic was a democratically elected president but who cares."
He did away with democracy so he lost his legitimacy.

"Two more or less happy countries are better then one country being deeply divided inside."
Its not that easy. The eastern part holds the majority of the industry. Next to that it would annexed to an autocratic medieval and murderous regime. They do have prison camps like in the Stalin era, only less productive. I'm sure they'll get better in it over the years.

Its more like Putin drew that card and isn't smart enough to conquer other territories first.

Chinese and the mob really needs cryptocurrency or an alternative. It will be interesting if bit coin will be that currency or if it will be something else...

All is well here. You won't miss Obama, our socialists are much more hard-core!

Forget the smog from traffic jams, I'll give you the best bear in the world.
Forget you cannot afford a house here, and have a chocolate.
Forget you're unemployed, you have got 3 languages to learn.

And don't worry if you did find a job, you can go to the doctor almost for free to get absent.

lol!

The extremes, for instance, sell an atom bomb to a firm that wants to protect itself from criminals. I simply did not want to let the debate end up in those ridiculous examples often made by free trade haters. That's all.
