The Brink of War?

Again, Crimea is a bit of a different beast. Stalin moved all the Tartars out, and moved Russian citizens in, hence wasn't exactly much resistance when Russian soldiers showed up to annex the place.

Whatever Stalin did - Crimea was to that time already few centuries as a part of Russia. Russia got Crimea from Turkey at time of Ekaterina II.

Stalin did his bad things, but Stalin never changed Russian status of Crimea. It "always" (at least few centuries) was Russian Crimea. Point. Fact what at time of Khruschev Crimea was send under Ukrainian control doesn't make Crimea and especially Sevastopol Ukrainian.

If you don't like Russia you may count "Russia gave, Russia took back", But if you want to understand situation then pay attention: Crimea voted to be independent and voted to join Russia in referendums. It is the same Autonomous Republic of Crimea since October 1921.

How do you feel Matt about the news that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko has reportedly signed a roadmap to regulate crypto operations in Russia? The news comes after Russia's central bank published a consultation paper that proposed a blanket ban on crypto-related activity in the country. Where now Bitcoin in Russia?

[cdnmatt]

Governments can try to impose whatever laws and regulations against bitcoi they want, makes no difference to me. Trying to regulate bitcoin is outside of their jurisdiction and powers. They know this, which is why most governments around the world have done nothing against bitcoin except basically shrug their shoulders, and added a few lines to tax forms with hopes people will voluntarily submit their crypto holdings, because that's all they can really do.

Negative PCR test within 48 hours before arrival to Russia, fill form of arrival on the border, PCR test within 72 hours after arrival in any laboratory and quarantine till results. Typical time for results is 12-24 hours, so you may to make test right after arrival - in city and wait till next day.

Fairly similar to the original Test & Go programme in Thailand? And are there fuckable Crimean boys?

There are a lot of money boys at time of high season (May-October), but you should find them via applications like Hornet or Grindr or Blued, for me it looks like about 1/3 of Ukrainian gay boys migrating to Crimea at that time... Most of them does not speak English because of poor Ukrainian education.

By the way: Crimea is a little bit more expensive than Turkey is and has lower hospitality standards.

Typical guys. Most of them will be tops, just small amount will be twinks :

...wish u wouold stop talking about crimea...it was only ikraine's by a whim of the ussr pressie...vast majority of the people are Russian...

Only because Russians conducted ethic cleansing of Crimea by deporting Crimean Tatars - an act recognized as genocide by some countries

[alvnv]

And most important: Crimea was Ukrainian only for 50 years and it was only because of more comfortable logistic without crossing of republican borders with corresponding formalities. So in 1960s it was moved to Ukraine.

Attachment 12219

By that logic, it was Russian for less than 200 years, while it was Ottoman for almost twice as long - does that mean that Turkey should lay claims on it now?

A similar act was carried out by the forefathers of the fake blind man from Canada but not a tweet from him regarding the truck convoys and protests against the beautiful boy Trudeau oppressive government.

You do know that sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, right?

You took a few words from several totally different and unrelated situations, and mashed them together somehow with I guess of hopes of making some kind of point... somehow?

You must be suffering from aphasia, or something. I'm sure you meant to make some sort of valid point, for example, not sure why I would be sending out tweets on SGT. This isn't Twitter.
