Depends, how heavy is it and how fast are you going to throw it at me, I used 1914 to show it was a century out of date, the Russia of 2014 operates by a different set of guidelines. Above board is only one change they made and it is working for them.
Meh ... you're only out by 4 or 5 years. 1918/19 about covers the revolution

Putin must have been watching some old PM Trudeau tapes.

Here is the explanation of why Putin is saying they are not Russian troops.

(in part)
A day after U.S. President Barack Obama said Russia was "not fooling anybody" over its role in Ukraine, Lavrov insisted the armed troops were not taking orders from the Kremlin.
"If they are the self-defense forces created by the inhabitants of Crimea, we have no authority over them," Lavrov said.
"They do not receive our orders," he said.

Discounts?
You gotta love the hypocracy of the new Ukrainian Govt, they call Russia a 'thug' and then ask if they can keep the NG discount that was part of an aid package that would have kept them out of the claws of the IMF. I guess we know the $5B the US spent was earmarked for private bank accounts rather than the public coffers.

Yeah well, it's gone and it's time to clear up the bill.

Russia cancels Ukraine's gas discount and demands $1.5bn

Russian energy giant Gazprom has increased the price of gas supplies to Ukraine, sending a chilling reminder of the power Russia holds over European energy markets.
The price rise comes as escalating unrest in Ukraine threatens to boil over into war – a situation that has already stoked fears of disruption to energy supplies from Russia to other parts of the world.

Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller said his company would raise prices next month because Ukraine was not able to pay its debts in full, and would owe the company around $2bn if it did not meet its bill for February.

And I'll wager transmission fees (discounts as the Bolsheviks are calling them) for Gazprom have doubled.

Which Bolsheviks are you talking about those already in Israel or those who still hang on in Ukraine sucking the state *** for the last drops, while they plan the murder and starvation of the surviving Ukraine people who they missed the last time . t i t is not allowed? why are the best parts of english sanctioned here, that's insane, must be a booby,

To collect you have to post something showing that has happened, if the price goes back to what it was 3 months ago then you lose your bet, and again it shows you don't know what you are talking about. Just sayin .....

They could alway revert back to the names of the Arab villages that were decimated in the first year after UN 181 was passed. Jerusalem (City of God) probably sound just fine in Russian.

No pay, no right of way. Sorry Bolsheviks, you're going to have to find another route.
