StrangeSox Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 That was the point the blog I picked that link up from made. In the long run, it might even be beneficial because their old, aging navy was a big resource drain. They can shift those resources to their army and air force, which are more important.

HuskyCaucasian Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Jews ordered to register in east Ukraine  Jews in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk where pro-Russian militants have taken over government buildings were told they have to "register" with the Ukrainians who are trying to make the city become part of Russia, according to Israeli media. Jews emerging from a synagogue say they were handed leaflets that ordered the city's Jews to provide a list of property they own and pay a registration fee "or else have their citizenship revoked, face deportation and see their assets confiscated," reported Ynet News, Israel's largest news website.

cabiness42 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Obama has been the least supportive of Israel of any President in my lifetime yet US Jews gave him 69% of their votes in 2012. I guess now if they want to complain about this they should do their complaining in front of a mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 also fwiw the whole "making the Jews" register thing should be taken with a grain of salt, at least for now. So far it's just been some anonymous leaflets saying Jews need to register, and both sides are saying its propaganda by the other side.

greg775 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) If the Jewish people do have to register over there ... wow is all I can say. I wonder how long the world will exist before we destroy each other. You know that's how eventually the world is going to end. Way too much hatred and way too many assholes out there (like the kook in North Korea). Edited May 7, 2014 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I was wondering the same thing. Putin could take Ukraine in a matter of weeks I would guess. So if he really wanted it, why not just go for it? The international community is going to condemn him and then forget about it a week later.
