In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Good ideas and reasoning. The only drawback: is the EU's 'foreign policy' dictated by someone else?

In reply to Anthony. No doubt for services rendered. Probably to the Labour Party. And now that it's in government, it can make the people of Malta pay back the debt.

In reply to Harry Purdie. Trying to be moderate and progressive Harry, not negative and isolated. Meantime, I'm shopping for a portable generator.

In reply to Harry Purdie.

You are wondering why Always RT, Harry Purdie?

Maybe because no other news media have reported a news about leaked tapes of Catherine Ashton? This kind of news should form head lines of all respectful news papers at the moment and should create an effect of nuclear bomb. Instead, the western media pretends they didn’t hear it!

Even local media, such as Times of Malta is blocking my comments every time I try to say anything about this particular leaked tapes or provide a link to rt.com. So much for freedom of speech!

In reply to rbrimmer. Considering that fact that 80% of citizens in Crimea are Russians, it's not difficult to predict with whom they want to belong (obviously with Russia), and it is a given fact even without a Referendum. So, your doubts whether referendum in Crimea would be fair or not are completely irrelevant.

In reply to Claudine Borg. Albona: why put Al Jazeera into the mix? We are talking about the goings on in Ukraine. These goings-on are being scrutinised daily by major western media organizations as well as by Russia Today in English. Everyone has a right to listen to different views/lies. It is a media/info war out there and every media organization has its own agenda. Then we draw our conclusions.

@H.P. Baxxter. It’s not exactly that Russia hasn’t been explaining properly that EU (Germany, France and Poland representatives) has broken agreement of 21 February signed by Yanukovich, and whereas he agreed to all demands of opposition for the sake of keeping peace in his country and preventing it from breaking into pieces. In fact Russia is shouting about it at every corner, at each UN council, at each official press conference, even at his last press conference the other day Putin stressed the matter. Another thing is that EU tries to ignore and not to answer those questions and our mass media are blocking all information about this matter.
As for the need to establish closer ties with Russia, I totally agree with you. But it is not going to happen in the near future at least. Our un-elected EU ruling elite is an American puppet, and the American interest is to prevent EU forming closer ties (political and economic) with Russia at all costs. One of the reasons the whole Ukrainian crisis was instigated by US is to create confrontation between Russia and EU, especially Germany, whose politicians were making attempts to break free from American dictatorship and seeking closer ties with Russia. Joined Russia and Germany/EU is an American nightmare

In reply to Harry Purdie.

The Estonian foreign minister is heard telling the EU foreign commissioner that evidence suggests the Maidan snipers were hired by the US-EU backed opposition and all Purdie can say is he needs ‘Kevvy TV’ to have a laugh.

The mainstream media had been quick to blame the atrocities on Yanukovych, but it turns out to be yet another unearthed false-flag operation, Gladio style.

Still, Purdie needs his laugh so here’s a Jester’s take on the leak: http://www.infowars.com/leaked-phone-call-kiev-snipers-hired-by-us-backed-opposition/

In reply to kev. Did the treaty provide for the Russians troops to surround Ukrainian bases in Crimea? Will referenda/elections in Crimea, under the 'protection' of Russian troops, be more free than those in the rest of Ukraine, which is monitored by many more international observers (press and otherwise)? Everyone is aware there are few black and white scenarios, but unfortunately too many are incapable of distinguishing between very different of shades of grey. Yet others, like yourself, mistake being contrarian for originality and/or insight.

In reply to Harry Purdie. Corrigendum: It was a discussion about laws that they are trying to introduce in some states of the US where conscientious objection will now be allowed, whereas under current laws this is not permitted.
