Russia’s ‘civilized’ offshore? Moscow allocates $1.5 bn for Crimea
http://rt.com/business/158196-crimea-invest-offshore-russia/

Quote

$1.5 billion (55.4 bln rubles) has been allocated by Moscow to the Russian republic of Crimea and Sevastopol to balance its budget in 2014. But what is on Moscow’s mind regarding the peninsular?

Quote

“The special economic zone in Crimea will be based on best examples in world practice and we are not going to substitute the Ukrainian system for a Russian one. We have a unique opportunity to capitalize on the current lack of a bureaucratic chokehold in Crimea. Our goal is to not make Crimea just like Russia, but a lot better and then spread the model throughout the country. The draft law regarding the special economic zone on the peninsula is in the making and we tried to include as many things that are on the minds of officials and business community as possible,” the minister for Crimean Affairs, Oleg Saveliev, told Russia’s Vedomosti newspaper.

Might be wrong but are they trying to build Hong Kong replica?

The best option of the US to contain Russia would be to have Putin assassinated by some covert assets and have him replaced with a weak leader who can be easily manipulated.

lol... Assassinating Putin won't be as easy as elimination third world leaders such as Hugo Chavez. Putin is ex-KGB and he takes strong safety measures to prevent any such misadventures.

It's a bit naive. The best option of the US to contain Russia would be to have Putin assassinated by some covert assets and have him replaced with a weak leader who can be easily manipulated. I did notice some obvious Secret Service type guys in the video but not as much as those that surround Obama.

Putin does have an advantage that he is a rather short guy so he makes for a more difficult target to hit. Wink

US calls Putin's visit to Crimea 'provocative and unnecessary'

Ukraine builds dam cutting off Crimea water supply
http://rt.com/news/158028-ukraine-water-supply-crimea/

Quote

Recent satellite images show that Kiev is deliberately trying to cut off Crimea peninsula's water supply by building a dam. In the meantime Russian scientists are trying to find ways to supply Crimea with fresh water.

Experts from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources are developing ways to supply fresh water to the Crimea from the Kuban River in the Krasnodar region to the North Crimean Canal which now receives limited water-flow, as Kiev tightens the lid on Simferopol.

“As one of options of providing the peninsula with water, we are considering an option of drawing water supply from the Kuban River and channeling it through the Strait of Kerch to the end portion of North Crimean Canal,” director of the department of public policy and regulation in the field of water resources ministry of Russia Dmitry Kirillov told Ria Novosti.

Quote

“The harvest will be partially or fully lost across 120,000 hectares of farmland that should be irrigated [by water from the canal],” Agriculture Minister Nikolai Fyodorov said in April, as cited by the Moscow Times.

I wonder if the West still has the audaciousness to call it occupation/amnnexation after these images. The reception in Crimea is that given to liberators, not occupants.

Putin asked the world to respect the right of the Russian people to self-determination and reinstatement of historical justice:

2. Revenge by the Kiev junta:

Since that can mean Ukraine will split in 6 months and Crimea will stay in the Russian federation for two years more after which it will rejoin the new formed Ukraine , I agree with the text change

.

That will not happen without a major war that exterminates almost all of the current Crimean population, and a good portion of Russia.

Bryant, another interesting quote from the article you provided:

Quote

In the past, I am told, much of the money earned through tourism was taken from Crimea. Either by the owners of the hotels or by taxes. I sounds like 50% of the money left the region.

And an icing on the cake:
Russian Ministry of Defence has launched a new clothes line, under a trade mark brand "Polite people" Grin

http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/russia/2014/05/140508_polite_people_brand.shtml

The Minister said a month ago:
"About use of Russian special forces in Crimea: It is difficult to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if it's not there. More so if said cat is clever, brave and polite."

Oh, and there is of course a hymn, called "Polite people":

An American in Crimea: People are pleased with joining Russia

http://english.pravda.ru/society/stories/08-05-2014/127534-american_crimea-0/

Quote

The few people I have been able to talk to tell me they are very pleased with joining Russia. They did not want to be ruled by the fascist government in Kiev. The elected government was overthrown. The new, illegal, government was making changes that were not welcome in many parts of Ukraine. They feel safe now and hope for a better future with Russia.

If you really enjoy reading through human history you shouldn't use words like never or forever.
Forever ...like what 10 years from now on , 100 , 1000? Can you really predict the future?

OK... I'll change my words.

Crimea will remain as a federal subject of Russia, even after Ukraine ceases to exist as a unified independent nation. (That will happen quite soon, if the things are going like this).

Yeah, looks like that secret converstation with Switzerland president about freezing his $40 billions bank account really made him change his mind about plans on Ukraine.

Hmm.. keep dreaming about the imaginary $40 billion in the Swiss account and another $400 billion in the American account. And Crimea is lost to Ukraine. Forever. Come to terms with it before it is too late.

After yesterday's Putin's speech about legitimization of May, 25 elections it looks like Crimea can go back to Ukraine in this year.

The Poles are getting really intelligent (especially after they joined the EU). They know that the enemies' enemy is a friend. First it was the turn of the Chechens. Now it is the turn of the Crimean Tatars:

The leader of Crimea's pro-Kiev Tatar community, Mustafa Dzhemilev, on Wednesday became the first winner of Poland's Solidarity Award, a pro-democracy prize worth a million euros, the Polish foreign minister said.

Note: The award price and other expenses will be taken out of the Nuland's $5 billion fund for Ukraine. Grin
