Deluded fools abound, and the intolerance of normally intelligent people is disappointing. Don't bother with personal insults as in the end it cheapens your arguments, only makes you look foolish, and will be ignored.

If I call someone out by name and call them a stupid asswhole - that's an example of a personal insult. If on the other hand I describe a group of stupid asswholes, and someone responds by identifying themselves with that group by feeling insulted, then go right ahead and prove my point.

Have a nice day.

Yep, it's a matter of watching an administration that has a Bulldog mouth, but a Chinhuaha ass.

At the same time, Gunvor announced that Timchenko had sold his share to Tornqvist on Wednesday, a day earlier. Tornqvist now owns 87 percent, while 13 percent belongs to the employees.

You don't do that for no good reason.

I wonder why part of the sanctions don't include Ukraine turning off the gas supply to Crimea? If this 'new' county wants gas they should ask for it and negotiate

Garry Kasparov makes sense here:

Quote:

...But the main problem with the West’s “Putin would never” arguments is that they assume Putin and his ruling elite care about Russian national interests. They do not, except in the few areas where such interests overlap with their goal of looting as much treasure as possible. ... Western leaders would be wise to follow the money: Sanction the elites who support Putin, go after the family members they use to hide their assets abroad and scrutinize their companies. If existing laws are inadequate to deal with billionaire thugs who enable a dangerous regime, write new ones. And do all this quickly, because the price to remove Putin goes up with every delay. Eventually, that price will be paid not just in the cash Western countries are afraid to lose but also in human lives.

Exxon should be among those who feel the pain. Putin may or may not be impressed with Obama or Merkel. I'll bet he returns Exxon's phone calls.

I guess when you have enough money you don't need the country anymore.

In an infamous quote included in Steve Coll’s book on Exxon, Private Empire, former CEO Lee Raymond once said, “I’m not a U.S. company, and I don’t make decisions based on what’s good for the U.S.”
