The Russian economy (catch all)

[OUTLAW 09]

Negotiate for what? How about starting with identifying the official U.S. and Russian positions. Have you bothered to investigate what they are?

AP===let's check out your comment here---starting six months before Crimea and counting all Interfax/RIA Russian FM comments and comments attributed to Putin and including his Duma speech---give me a number of the exact reasons Russia claims the rights to Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

If one is to negotiate than one must in theory know the reasons right AP that is the supposed cause of the crisis. In the Russian reason count---be sure to highlight exactly what international agreement, memorandum or treaty were being violated that contributed to the armed annexation of the Crimea and the sending of weapons and Russian mercenaries into the Ukraine.

With the shot down of MH17 we have currently 14 different versions running around the globe by the way---that is a bad example of where to start negotiations is it not AP?

Await your count and your highlighting.
