Why would Putin, the supreme oligarch, even need to use offshore tax havens?

Meanwhile, over the border..

Ukrainian MPs call for investigation into Poroshenko after Panama leaks | Reuters

Putin is a convenience for the slimy corruptocrats of the west to point to whilst they busily trouser and trough away behind closed doors. There's been a real effort to paint him as a bogeyman, but the more this effort continues the more we learn that they are all bogeymen, covered in bogeys, snot, sleaze, and slime.

Oh no doubt he's got his snout in the same troughs.

But the people that suffer do it far worse than in the West.

At least we have media in the West that can rip the piss.

Tried the Russian or Chinese satellite feeds, more or less accurate than "Uncle Sam's", g of gold per kg to station, life expectancy, g of gold initial satellite cost, effectiveness?

Well that's a relief. Putting 1960's overpriced, overweight technology, probably using Russian rocket engines and sporting digital cameras using chips designed by foreigners, who never sell to other countries unless they have families threatened, their biggest, best or brightest "commodities".

Here's me thinking you were a satellite imagery specialist. Or know anything about what you're continually posting.

Ruh Roh ENT's off on one of his waffles again.

You're losing your marbles harry, I've not made any comments on this thread.

Mea culpa. It's just that with the amount of fairy stories you two come out with, you could be twins (or even the Brothers Grimm).

Tell us all about it on another thread, and I'll show you your fairy stories. OK?

Many atimes my snout has been at the trough. Some truffles unearthed, but occasionally a hoary surprise.

I really don't even want to think about what troughs you've stuck your snout in.

The LORD is delivering more happiness to his citizens.

Third Strand of Crimea Energy Bridge Launched - Fort Russ






"The third strand of the energy bridge in the Crimean Federal district was put into operation ahead of schedule. Its launch helped to increase the maximum power transmitted across the energy bridge. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Energy.
"After the early launch of the third line, the total volume of alloted power to Crimea increased to 1060 MW excluding alternative and backup power sources. The maximum peak consumption on the Peninsula in the spring is expected to be no more than 1100 MW, that is, after today's launch, the shutting down of the power supply will almost be completely stopped," — said energy Minister Alexander Novak.

That third strand of the power bridge will be launched today, said the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, speaking at Straight Line."

That's right "Change" that the citizens needed has been delivered. Electricity at Russian prices not wall streets.

Note the bridge survived one Turkish attempt to knock it down. Ameristani warriors have the bridges GPS co-ordinates in the aiming system as we speak. They can't allow somebody to actually build something, everyone knows bombing is much better at making the citizens, men, women and children, happier.

The LORD is now saving killer whales and a pup.

That is probably The LORD, in orange jacket, taking his life in his hands, pushing the killer whale and pup to freedom?

An example for the whole world to emulate. What a hero.

"A challenging rescue operation in Russia’s Far East was declared a success after four orcas, including a pup, were freed from an ice trap in the Sea of Okhotsk off Sakhalin Island. The killer whales’ plight triggered a unique eight-hour rescue mission, which was carried out by the Russian Emergencies Ministry with the help of a local fishing company. As the bay where the orcas got stuck was shallow and filled with ice and rocks, a traditional fishing boat was enlisted for the job, in place of a rescue vessel."

Apparently NATO has decided that they will not expand, in other words "formally" accept any new countries soon. Not that formalities or the lack of a legal basis have ever stopped NATO slaughtering people.

Some will be disappointed at the statement.

"There's not much “additional room" for NATO expansion in the years to come, a US ambassador to the alliance has said, adding that Russia plays an important part in the strategic environment.Saying that the military bloc is facing an upheaval equal to the times during the last years of the Cold War, it is now time to put "a brake" on NATO expansion, Douglas Lute said Friday.

"I think Russia plays an important part in the strategic environment and the strategic environment will put a brake on NATO expansion," Lute told the Aspen Security Forum in London, as quoted by Reuters."In practical terms I don't [think] there's much additional room in the near term, the next several years perhaps or maybe even longer, for additional NATO expansion," he said"

A NATO spokesperson actually agreeing with the position of The LORD, unbelievable!!

Perhaps it's their indirect way of saying they won't invite Russia into NATO.

Oh dear, was the Ameristani experiment another example of failure, for the citizens if not the Ameristani war machine

A Ukraine government ministry has decided to to increase the cost of domestic and industrial gas and hot water by 100% and 60% respectively. - Many eastern Europe countries have a large central boiler supplying hot water to the citizen's homes.

This after the EU and NATO have announced no import deals, no visa free travel, no benefits, ....... in the foreseeable future. Some Ukrainians may be feeling a little disappointed.

https://www.rt.com/business/340990-u...ftogaz-prices/

"The Ukrainian authorities have already raised gas tariffs three times. According to the agreement with the IMF, Kiev was due to increase gas tariffs on April 1, but postponed the decision by a month. Last week, the new Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladimir Groysman said Kiev will have to hike gas tariffs, because the government doesn’t have a choice, as they need to correspond with the import prices.

Ukrainian media Segodnya.ua has reported that from May 1 gas tariffs will be doubled from 3.6 to 7.2 hryvnia (about $0.3) per cubic meter, while heating and hot water will become 60 percent more expensive."

Shame. If Putin had any money left he could have swung public opinion in his favour with some subsidies.

^Once the spigot is open it becomes impossible to turn it off, as many are/have found out to their detriment.

Putin is using the force to read Obama's brain. Spock had to touch a shoulder, the Russians have "innovated" the method.

The lady at Putin's left shoulder has noticed Obama is pissing himself again.

The man at Obama's right shoulder is counting the seconds before Putin blinks.

The man in the background is thinking, "Why don't we have somebody like Putin running our country"

I didn't realise he was such a midget.

No wonder they call him a little crook.

Yeah cos restricting freedom of the press / individual rights, nepotism, and exiling or imprisoning opponents is great.

Err, wot.

John Key may be a bit of a bellend but I'm pretty sure that he's not a autocratic despot who harasses, intimidates, and imprisons political activists and his opponents or deprives people of their rights. In fact I'm certain of it.

This whole man-love/crush/cult of personality worshiping of Putin and his shirtless horsey pics is beyond bizarre.

It's more leverage what you have, rather than feeling impotent and relinquishing everything to the current bully.

Yeah Oh Oh ,its rather strange when Ant talks about lack of freedom of the press ,individual rights , nepotism and imprisoning Political opponent's when he's chose to live and work here in Los for Christ knows how long , and In Thailands case you could arguably throw in 1,000s of extra judicial murders too .

Owzat for a bit of man love?
