Either Europe is run by a bunch of unelected idiots, or… well, that’s about it.

After blindly doing the US’ bidding over all propaganda matters Ukraine-related, and following just as blindly into round after round of US-inspired sanctions, sanctions to whose retaliation Europe would be on the frontline unlike the largely insulated US, Europe appears to be absolutely shocked and is apoplectic that after several rounds of sanction escalations, Russia finally unleashed its own round of sanctions and yesterday announced a 1 year ban on all European food imports, something which will further push Europe into a triple-dip recession as already hinted by Italy yesterday.

In fact, Europe is so stunned by this unexpected “politically-motivated” retaliation by Russia, it issued a press release.

Images of the past alone are worth the price of admission.

thought for the day: The Bush Era has not yet ended.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Thursday banned most food imports from the West in retaliation for sanctions over Ukraine — a sweeping move that will cost Western farmers billions of dollars but could also lead to empty shelves in Russian cities.

The decision shows that President Vladimir Putin has no intention of bowing to Western pressure over Ukraine and will instead try to strike back at the West. It also demonstrated that the Kremlin is ready to inflict damage on Russia while pursuing its course in Ukraine.

The U.S. and the EU have accused Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in March, of fomenting tensions in eastern Ukraine by supplying arms and expertise to a pro-Moscow insurgency, and have imposed asset freezes and loan bans on a score of individuals and companies.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said at a televised Cabinet meeting that Russia’s retaliatory ban covers all imports of meat, fish, milk and milk products and fruit and vegetables from the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada and Norway. It will last for one year.

These politicians are idiots. Even if they did open the borders they never stopped to reevaluate that which the should of done a long time ago and if it was for work why did they allow them to come here to get welfare and even if they had a green card they could still get welfare. They could literally walk across the boarder pick up their free money and walk back across the border. They knew this was going on and did nothing to stop it.  There was no welfare for the true immigrants only the strong survived and even some of those didn’t. That would be like irrigating a field and walking away leaving it on until all the crops were destroyed. Or putting up a IV and leaving it on to drip continuously whether you needed it anymore and causing fluid overload. All the time in office none if them looked or reevaluated the current laws or seen them as out of date and currently unconstitutional. They are just inept. Their just plain dangerous inept.

i remember when my daughter was four I got a letter from the IRS that my daughter was earning income from a job that I did not report and it was a illegal using her social security card. I though well good someone’s putting money on her social security lol but then they sent me another letter saying never mind when they found out how old she was.

Ps the problem with each country producing it’s own things well many like resources and corruption and some gangs.although with a better economy and people having more choices many admitted they would leave gangs if they had another choice.

And because of your $hitstain in the $hitehouse, I have to take massive amounts of O.
