Opec oil, North Sea Oil, Coal, Canadan oil, American Oil (it was the 1970s) and Norwegian oil. The biggest importers are Germany and Italy. The EU gets something like 40% of its fuel from Russia with those two nations being the lions share.

RT, Voice of Russia, New Eastern... Russia's view, all you get is the view of on party and one party who happens to be deeply involved.

In fact the US is more deeply involved:

The White House confirmed that the CIA chief John Brennan visited Kiev last weekend, where he held a series of secret meetings with the current leaders of Ukraine, Reuters reports.

Media like RT and Voice of Russia are much more credible than US corporate media. I remember US corporate media propaganda about "weapons of mass destruction in Iraq". There were just US lies to justify US invasion of Iraq.

That's my point - we're now seeing not people movement (like on Maidan where ordinary people from all over Ukraine came there to protest) for separation but an organised action with armed groups of 'separatists' who's main objective is to take over some strategic admistration's buildings in Eastern Ukraine.

According to Ukrainian political scientist Rostisław Iszczenko there are much more (pro-Russian) protesters in eastern Ukraine than there were protesters in Maidan.

That was quite a video Piotr, showing unarmed Pro Federalist rebels surrounding and hounding a Tank in open country.
Are you able to offer a summary translation regarding what both protesters and crew were saying and what was finally agreed?

Hi, SampanViking, I'm not Piotr but since you asked and I'm on-line ... I'm watching again all of this video (it's kind of boring, though) in a Chrome window and trying to type here (in Internet Explorer and ... during:
the first minute the guy with a camera (or somebody standing close to him) just asks the tank crew "Whom are you gonna shoot?";
the second minute he requests the engine to be turned off;
nothing going on for one more minute (they're chasing the tank heheh);
then ... as far as I understand the crosstalk, the argument of "rebels" is like hey, we are all Slavic people;
the tank commander orders to turn off the engine

oh, and there's plenty of expletives being used by the camera crew LOL

Does this help, SampanViking?

happened yesterday in

The aircraft that buzzed the US AEGIS destroyer in the Black Sea was an SU-24.

It's a dangerous attack aircraft, and though I am sure the US saw it coming and queried it as they say...to allow it to approach like that, in these conditions, on a low level attack run was very dangerous.

I wonder if they painted it and locked on...at some point, as it came in, I hope they did.

Very dangerous game. One SU-24 loaded up with ASMs, if unchallenged, could heavily damage or sink a destroyer.
