I can't figure out whether a @pravoslavno reference is appropriate in this case, but it is cutting it pretty close.

No matter how much of an adrenaline rush you're having while in the middle of a firefight, remember, only godless homonazis swear. Mind your ps & qs.

The latest round of sanctions could cost the US and EU 90 billion dollars. Not good news for two large economies just shaking off the recession caused by the 2008 banking crisis. But, the Russian slowdown will affect about a third of Russia's budget.

According to a Ukrainian official, the OSCE and other investigators need to stay out of the crash sight area because the rebels have mined the approaches.

The weather is OK where I live right now (it's nice and sunny today), although we had a couple of nasty storms a few days ago. (RIP, trees) I'm going to assume that orange alert means something along the lines of "be prepared"

Ahaha, if the separatists seriously mined the approach to MH17's crash site that is some incredibly stupid poo poo. As if they hadn't caused enough international uproar.

If any international investigators are killed while searching the crash site by stepping on a landmine the story's going to flare up all over again.

A reminder that this is a dude who likes to cosplay as a Roman Legionnaire and who signed off on summary execution documents lifted straight from WWII-era Stalinist Russia.

I'm not sure he had too many marbles to begin with.

But he has a long history of getting involved with terrible Eastern European conflicts and then getting out afterwards (so he can fight in the next war, between reenacting historical wars). I'd peg him as more of a war addict than an idealist.

I am certain the sanctions have not gone into effect yet. Tomorrow is when the EU signs off on them from what I remember reading. The news however could have triggered a rush to sell, as three major banks being blocked from foreign investment would do. VTB just gave Belarus a $2bn loan recently too. Whoops.

I heard our prime minister's economic advisor saying that the sanctions will not have an immediate effect on Russian finance and economy, it will begin to show in about one or two months. Makes sense.

At first I thought that it was fake, as when I did a Google Image search with the image it just brought back the Nazi poster + posts comparing the two.

Then I found this VK post from June 26: http://vk.com/dnrmakeevka?w=wall-6573186_1280

But it's from a pro-Ukraine VK user. My judgment--image was created by pro-UKR folks, hoping that separatists would spread it online, then look like fools.
