  1. Maybe the other three leaders in coalition are against joining NATO and want Marin out "for personal reasons". Finland govt is a four party coalition so any of the three other parties can pull the plug on it any time.

  2. She's a leader of one of four parties. Hers happens to be the biggest but any of the other three leaders could take her job tomorrow and leave the govt otherwise intact. Parliaments work.

  3. Ha chess by Lavrov again! You want UN DPRK sanctions applied, you have to recognize Donetsk and Luhansk at UN. Same for Geneva Convention, NPT, bio weapons, war crime investigation etc etc

  4. If Putin goes to G20 it should be well publicized that Medvedev is in full charge and has full authority to launch all nukes at any target anywhere. And that there's a one year time limit to return to NPT talks or Russia leaves the bioweapons pact also. You can't deal with the US any way but raw threat. Some idiot CIA stooge may actually believe that Putin is the whole problem or that Russia would be in chaos without him. My read is that all the hawks come to power immediately if Putin is disabled.

  5. India IS the world multipolar movement. It can't exist without India as part of it. If China and India settle differences and the border, come to a pact regarding Tibet that actually obligates China in serious ways and doesn't just abandon Tibetans... New game entirely.

  7. 8:00 placating Erdogan is the ONLY reason that Russia has not taken Odessa. If Turkey fully supports NATO, say lets any NATO ships into the Black Sea, wham Odessa is gone that week. Erdogan told Elensky that he could keep Odessa and Kharkiv and Dnipro if he played ball but there was no way he gets any part of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea.

  8. 25:00 "PIGS" is neoliberal absolute fraud. Greece did not belong in Eurozone and it was Goldman Sachs that shoehorned it in, as a deliberate US plan to destroy the Euro. After China and Russia agreed to a huge energy deal in Euros, the US decided proxy war was the best way to wreck Europe. BRICS will take longer to be a serious rival to USD. Why? Well Portugal Spain and Ireland all defied neoliberal cultists by building solar, high speed rail & subsidizing education...this just made the Euro a more serious threat though these are all very long term but very wise investments. The idea was to invent "PIGS" as a category based on GDP shallow aggregates so they could sell "austerity" and curtail long term investment. Note that GDP necessarily drops when a very expensive paid central service is replaced by a resilient local one. Like solar on the roof. Or growing your own food. Or doing your own trades work with your trades education rather than say car dealerships. Run this idea by Yanis. I'll be amazed if he doesn't agree with it in long hindsight.

  9. Focusing on Kharkiv lets Elensky refuse so when Russia takes it and makes it Kharkiv again, Erdogan can shrug and say he "tried". Then come back and offer one last time to save Odessa. With Turkey in effective control of it ie sabotaging Nazis will be dead in hours, Turkish special forces do not fk around. Putin should be happy with that as justice for 2014.
