Now if the EU would get on board with the travel ban that would be pretty masterful. Of course they can still travel to shitbag paradises like Dubai and Macau, but that's going to get boring after a while.
The Netherlands specifically asked the EU to not sanction Putin himself because we "need" him for our PM's nuclear summit vanity project :v: Gotta justify shutting down half the country for a week somehow.

Venetian separatists planned to storm st Marks square, armed with guns from the albanian mafia and a home made armored tractor/tank. A few dozen arrested and more suspected. Telephone intercepts talk about hundreds of supporters.

Recent unofficial internet polls have indicated that Venetian secessionism has been growing due to the state of the economy, central govt corruption, other parts of the country being moochers, and all that usual stuff.

One of the arrested men is former parliamentarian Franco Rocchetta of Lega Nord.
How were they even planning to get a tank onto their tiny island town unnoticed?

I don't think you understand quite how tanks work.
They were literally planning to drive it up across the Freedom Bridge and somehow manoeuvre it into St. Mark's Square? That's even better because it wouldn't fit through half the streets there and most of their bridges wouldn't be able to support it.

 Idiots everywhere: "Kill harass all the Jews everywhere. Except the IDF ones with guns, those are scary".

Meanwhile here in the Netherlands our official stance is still that it's an accident but then again Rutte loves to suck up to Putin.

 Rutte just did a live press conference about MH17. The Netherlands is going to pay for cleaning up the wreck and we are currently negotiating with Putin about repatriating the bodies from the site of the "accident".

Either it went over the border for some adjustments and then back, but people here are saying tampering isn't that useful. Or some separatist commander figured that's where they should send it and the Russians yelled at him to stop implicating them further.

E: looks like the remains have been loaded on trains and is getting shipped to the Netherlands.

or is is just Netherlands now? I don't want to offend anyone by erroneously calling their country "the" again :ohdear:
No, "The" is fine. If you want to enrage my countrymen, call them "Holland" instead.

The Netherlands are sending commandos and more to accompany the Australian SAS to the MH17 site.
