01[12:24] {@Threei}  yeah, not cooperating
01[12:26] {@Threei}  one of major Victoria FB pages that normally just reports events, not comments on them, suddenly spoke on teachers: https://www.facebook.com/ilovedowntownvictoria/posts/801203636565977
[12:29] {Alexs} actually teachers are doing right thing, if they can get a raise why the shouldn't?
01[12:29] {@Threei}  if I can get a gun and go rob a bank, why shouldn't I?
[12:34] {troub} cause down here someone will standing in line will pull a gun and shoot your rear end off--for breaking in line.
[12:34] {Alexs} it's a free country you can try...
[12:35] {dino} problem alexs is the raises are given by school, which is paid for by taxpayers without consent
01[12:35] {@Threei}  yes, so as teachers decided that they can go ahead and strike, givernment announced lockout
01[12:35] {@Threei}  which is a good equivalent of someone with a gun in a lineup :)
01[12:36] {@Threei}  exactly dino... how about going directly to taxpayers and asking for a raise
01[12:36] {@Threei}  answer will be unequivocal
01[12:36] {@Threei}  but blackmailing government is somehow OK
01[12:37] {@Threei}  using students as hostages

[12:39] {Alexs} if I were taecher I would fight for my salary by all available means, no doubt
01[12:40] {@Threei}  well, claiming that you fight for childrens' education and going on strik two weeks before finals reeks of hypocrisy
[12:41] {dino} or extortion
01[12:41] {@Threei}  and demanding a raise just bvecause you can strike? if that's right thing to do, why anyone works at all?
[12:41] {dptl} vlo may be .40 break short again
[12:41] {Alexs} otherwise nobody would care
01[12:42] {@Threei}  so when your local fireman goes on strike right after the call...?
[12:43] {Alexs} I think that fire services must be private
[12:43] {Alexs} then there will be no strikes
01[12:43] {@Threei}  must be and are are different things
01[12:44] {@Threei}  education m,ight be private too
01[12:44] {@Threei}  then there wouldn't be any strikes?

01[12:54] {@Threei}  how's this for the irony of the highest caliber:
01[12:54] {@Threei}  - Follow up: Iran reportedly now sending some military forces to help fight ISIS in Iraq; have placed forces near Baghdad and other cities

[13:23] {Alexs} I think Vad it's not just propaganda
[13:23] {Alexs} west contributed too
01[13:24] {@Threei}  whatever west does, there should be serious machine working 24/7 to make 20 years old believe that life in USSR was great, and that the workld should be afraid of them
01[13:25] {@Threei}  you either bring them up in the spirit of cooperation with the world, or in the spirit of fighting
[13:25] {Alexs} nobody cares about USSR I mean young people
01[13:25] {@Threei}  I am talking about this article
01[13:26] {@Threei}  I haven't pooled russian youth
[13:26] {Alexs} what they see that west consider them as second-class people
01[13:26] {@Threei}  how?
[13:27] {Alexs} all those stupid visa restrictions for ordinary people
01[13:27] {@Threei}  they are hired by western companies

01[13:27] {@Threei}  I know quite a few working for Apple, Microsoft etc
[13:28] {Alexs} you know what it takes to get visa to US from Russia?
01[13:28] {@Threei}  USA has visa regime for most of the world
01[13:28] {@Threei}  so what
01[13:28] {@Threei}  if they asre insulted by that...
[13:29] {Alexs} it makes people jealous
01[13:29] {@Threei}  and btw, those guys I just mentioned get their visas with no problem
[13:30] {Alexs} I got visa to US the third attempt
01[13:31] {@Threei}  OK, so that's it? they are in confrontation with the world and in love with Putin because of USA visa regime?
01[13:31] {@Threei}  and with Europe? because of Konchita Wurst?
[13:31] {Alexs} no it's just one example
[13:44] {nathan} g afternon
01[13:45] {@Threei}  hey nathan
[13:45] {nathan} nice IWM this morning
01[13:45] {@Threei}  yup, that was today's star
01[13:45] {@Threei}  falling star at that
[13:45] {nathan} better than yesterday?
01[13:46] {@Threei}  today's less active
01[13:46] {@Threei}  now, here is one man who should just shut up and never utter a word about Ukraine:
01[13:46] {@Threei}  US Vice President Biden supports Poroshenko's peace plan for eastern Ukraine
01[13:47] {@Threei}  imbecile
[13:47] {nathan} what's his personal interest on it? i bet he has one
[13:47] {dptl} half out vlo
01[13:48] {@Threei}  his son took prominent position in ukrainian energy company a few weeks ago
[13:49] {Alexs} nobody's seen that plan yet as I know
01[13:49] {@Threei}  talk about conflict of interests and bad public image...
01[13:49] {@Threei}  why, it's published
[13:49] {Alexs} when?
01[13:49] {@Threei}  couple days ago
[13:50] {Alexs} what the plan? something new?
01[13:51] {@Threei}  as first phase, free corridor for a week allowing separatists to leave for Russia without weapons
[13:51] {Alexs} lol
01[13:51] {@Threei}  guaranteed, controlled and monitorwed by three sides
01[13:52] {@Threei}  after that, full scale attack on those who elected to remain
[13:53] {Alexs} I don't think it will work that way
01[13:53] {@Threei}  nope
01[13:53] {@Threei}  they won't take it, and he won't order such attack
01[13:53] {@Threei}  which is a good compromise...
01[13:53] {@Threei}  much like in that old joke
[13:54] {Alexs} I thought he proposed a real plan
01[13:54] {@Threei}  where employee demanded salary increase or he would leave
01[13:54] {@Threei}  they compromised: boss didn't raise his salary, and he didn't leave
[13:54] {Alexs} lol
01[13:55] {@Threei}  what real plan is possible in this situation?
01[13:55] {@Threei}  they won't settle for less than separation
01[13:55] {@Threei}  he can't agree to that
01[13:55] {@Threei}  the rest is immaterial
01[13:55] {@Threei}  fighting will continue
01[13:56] {@Threei}  he is trying to save good face by offering chance for peaceful exit
01[13:56] {@Threei}  otherwise he will look bloodthristy
01[13:56] {@Threei}  that's all
[13:56] {Alexs} and what they get by fighting?
01[13:56] {@Threei}  ok C, give us 1:2
[13:57] {dptl} out rest vlo +.31
01[13:57] {@Threei}  what they get or what they hope to get?
01[13:57] {@Threei}  wtg dp
[13:57] {dptl} :)
[13:58] {Alexs} more people will die that's it
01[13:58] {@Threei}  they don't care
[13:58] {Alexs} he can't win by fighting
[13:59] {Alexs} I'm talking about Poroshenko
01[13:59] {@Threei}  *(US) MAY MONTHLY BUDGET STATEMENT: -$129.97B V -$130.5BE- Receipts: $199.9B v $197.2B y/y- Outlays: $329.9B v $335.9B y/y
01[13:59] {@Threei}  you have an idea for him?
01[14:00] {@Threei}  TGT *RAISES DIVIDEND 21% TO $0.52 FROM $0.43
[14:01] {Alexs} if you can't win you should negotiate, the erlier the better or later you will lose harder
01[14:06] {@Threei}  good luck negotiang with those who don't
[14:09] {Alexs} sooner or later Poroshenko will seat with the separatists no other way out of this you'll see
01[14:11] {@Threei}  of course he will
[14:11] {Alexs} and the later he does it more shameful it will be
[14:11] {dptl} long p here
01[14:12] {@Threei}  you are making a mistake thinking of them as a side that makes decisions
01[14:12] {@Threei}  they don't
01[14:12] {@Threei}  they do what they are told
01[14:12] {@Threei}  they will sit down and talk to him when Putin has him where he wants him
[14:13] {Alexs} they don't but Russia uses them as a frontmen
01[14:13] {@Threei}  he offered negotiations on day 1, they decline so far
[14:13] {dptl} half out
01[14:13] {@Threei}  what else do you want him to do?
01[14:13] {@Threei}  he waits till they are told to sit down and talk
01[14:14] {@Threei}  menahwile he tries to press them militarily
[14:15] {Alexs} Putin called for stop of military operation from ukrainians and finally he will get it
01[14:15] {@Threei}  C stop to .81
01[14:17] {@Threei}  to .76 now
[14:18] {Alexs} and if ukrainians lose more people and after that stop operation it will be worse
01[14:19] {@Threei}  I still haven't heard what you recommend him to do when the only real demand on the table is to acknowledge independence of two provinces
[14:21] {Alexs} I bet Russia doesn't need those provinces, Putin is not crazy
01[14:21] {@Threei}  I said independence from ukraine, not joining russia
01[14:22] {@Threei}  1:2  C
[14:22] {Alexs} it's the same thing currently
01[14:22] {@Threei}  this is their only demand on the table
01[14:22] {@Threei}  what should he dio?
[14:23] {Alexs} first stop operation
[14:23] {Alexs} second start negotiation with russia and separatists
01[14:24] {@Threei}  They put their main demand on the table: Acknowldge independence. Your next step?
[14:26] {Alexs} Putin just need to be seen as a peacemaker he doeasn't need that independence bull
01[14:26] {@Threei}  you masterfully avoid answerring :)
01[14:27] {@Threei}  but that's exactly the problem Poroshenko faces. Their only real demand is the one he can't meet
[14:28] {Alexs} he hasn't negotiated with anybody yet Vad he should start the process
[14:29] {RonS} he should hire Jack Bauer and get the whole thing solved in a day...

01[11:55] {Threei}  takes its sweet time but...
01[11:56] {Threei}  Can you say "easy to please":
01[11:56] {Threei}  The United States said it was "encouraged" that Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Normandy on Friday
01[11:58] {Threei}  even if he said "man, am I going to tear your lips and shove them down your ears" - ot's important that they actually spoke
[12:00] {dptl} p .20 break short if holds .30
[12:01] {Alexs} in a couple of month there will be peace in Ukraine, Russia doesn't get any economic consequences and is a happy owner of Crimea

01[12:03] {Threei}  come on DAL, last push

01[12:12] {Threei}  to bomb Europe?
01[12:12] {Threei}  intriguing idea
[12:18] {RonS} they can go to Europe and back from Kansas...only reason to send them ther is Iran...imo
01[12:19] {Threei}  out DAL
01[12:19] {Threei}  1:3 is close enough
01[12:19] {Threei}  can't let it get away from here
[12:23] {Alexs} Ron I'm afraid this make no sense, US has enough aircraft carriers directly beside Iran
[12:26] {RonS} you can't launch a B2 from a carrier, let alone land it...
[12:33] {nemo} they'll bomb the Ukraine and blame it on Putin

01[13:31] {Threei}  have some respect for stocks that move that much in low volume swamp
[13:31] {Alexs} I think a tax holiday is a stupid idea, we need to decrease taxes not make tax holiday

[13:39] {fish_49} what would that be Vad  a sign offering Free Booze?
06[13:39] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a full-bodied optimist, to be ridiculed, beaten up and possibly shot
[13:39] {fish_49} I like the shot  part  lol

01[13:41] {Threei}  alex, right chart, wrong time of the day. Let's try either aggressive or DKTK
[13:42] {Alexs} under .10?
01[13:42] {Threei}  that would probably be too good...
01[13:42] {Threei}  .20 rather
01[13:44] {Threei}  but DKTK will be different if that's what transpires
01[13:44] {Threei}  then entry to hunt for will be under ,.15
[13:46] {fish_49} gotta run  take care guys  and Happy trading....
[13:55] {dino} dji has been stuck in about a 12 pt range for hours

01[13:59] {Threei}  no
01[13:59] {Threei}  you go with odds
01[13:59] {Threei}  nothing works (or fails) always
01[14:00] {Threei}  but if you take this kind of setups at this time of the day, you will be rinsed more often
01[14:00] {Threei}  outsmart yourself is an attemot to guess when it does work and when it doesn;t
01[14:01] {Threei}  that's when you are trying to outguess your own system, and that never ends well
01[14:01] {Threei}  they call it ego

[09:15] {nathan} do u sell guns nemo?

01[14:03] {@Threei}  so our right might look moderate to you
[14:04] {Alexs} that's sad
[14:04] {troub} t-party kind of thing there?
01[14:05] {@Threei}  nah, not even close
[14:05] {troub} Lucky you
01[14:06] {@Threei}  but it works... after 20+ years of relentless move tio the left, he slowly but surely reworks things, creating right-of-center approach, at least fiscally
01[14:07] {@Threei}  sure thing, left wing hates him passionately
01[14:07] {@Threei}  and blames him in everything under the sun
01[14:07] {@Threei}  but the guy is a freight train on a slow speed
01[14:07] {@Threei}  slow but unstoppable
[14:08] {Alexs} what is his rating in the country?
01[14:10] {@Threei}  latest I saw was 32%
[14:11] {dptl} out some more dal .74
[14:11] {Alexs} so the stop will be next election...
01[14:12] {@Threei}  it's normal for ruling party ratings to drop between elections
01[14:13] {@Threei}  and our system is a bit different... vote split between left paries means 35% is a sure win, over 40% is majority
01[14:13] {@Threei}  no news for this market drop
[14:14] {Alexs} market drop is the news
01[14:14] {@Threei}  a bit too sharp to be technical...
[14:15] {dptl} its a nice drop :)
[14:15] {troub} how many parties are there?  All parties national or regional?

[15:15] {Alexs} why Vad, in this interview he sounds reasonable?

01[15:16] {@Threei}  how doesa that work together
[15:16] {Alexs} no problem, for me
01[15:17] {@Threei}  well... main question is, whether it's a problem for Putin :)
[15:17] {Alexs} I hate you but I have to work with you, so?
01[15:17] {@Threei}  we will see very soon

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update:US Jobs Recovery on Track, ECB Cuts Rates

- US, European and Japanese equity markets pushed out to all-time or near all-time highs this week, while yields on US and German benchmark 10-year notes have moved away from the one-year lows seen last week. The week was all about the landmark ECB decision and another above-200K number in the US non-farm payrolls. The ECB cut its three key rates at the decision on Thursday, most notably putting the deposit facility in negative territory for the first time ever, and announced a package of measures to ensure funding finds its way to the real economy. In the US, five years into the economic recovery, total payrolls have finally passed their pre-recession 2008 highs. All in all, the US economy lost 8.7 million jobs during the Great Recession and today total employment is about 98K jobs above the prior high, at around 138.46 million. Chinese equity markets were pretty much flat on the week as HSBC and official PMI data offered contrasting pictures of the nation's economic pulse. For the week, the DJIA gained 1.2%, the S&P500 added 1.3% and the Nasdaq surged 1.9%. The German DAX hit the 10,000 mark for the first time in the moments after the ECB policy decision.

- The May payrolls were more or less as expected at +217K, but lower than the revised 282K April figure. The long-term unemployed showed signs of getting work, with people unemployed more than 26 weeks falling 78K and those unemployed 15-26 weeks declining 92K. The average workweek was unchanged at 34.5 hours as expected, but hourly earnings were slightly stronger than anticipated.

- The ECB cut its three key rates at the decision on Thursday, most notably putting the deposit facility in negative territory for the first time ever, charging banks for holding their money. The central bank also announced additional measures to push banks to funnel more money into the real economy: it extended the fixed-rate full allotment MROs by 18 months to the end of 2016, suspended SMP sterilization (which was failing anyhow) and teed up two more LTROs. In addition, the ECB reiterated that it was continuing work to set up an ABS repurchase facility. Draghi insisted this was not the end of the measure the ECB was willing to undertake to support the eurozone economy and emphasized that the council would take any action within its mandate to achieve price stability, including possible large-scale asset purchases. Since the decision, the Bundesbank's Weidmann and several other ECB figures have emphasized that no more ECB actions will be taken until there is time to assess the economic impact of this week's policy changes.

- There has been plenty of skeptical analysis of the ECB's new measures. The new TLTROs (targeted longer-term refinancing operations) reprise the ECB's prior three-year LTRO operations, launched in December 2011 and February 2012 to cope with the euro crisis. Nearly all of the €1.02T in funds allotted at that time was invested in sovereign bonds, and this time around Draghi promises ECB oversight will keep the funds flowing into the real economy. Skeptics suggest this will be difficult, as demand for lending rather than a shortage of funds appears to be one of Europe's chief problems. As of today, only €554.6B from the first two LTROs has been paid back, which is only a little more than the total €400B TLTRO funding. According to Deutsche Bank, in a sense the new LTROs could be construed as a four-year extension of the existing LTROs, at a lower cost. There is also doubt about negative deposit rates, as European banks' deposits at the ECB have fallen close to zero in the past several months and reserve holdings at the ECB (to which negative rates will also apply) have also diminished significantly. Big European banks with global reach could also simply park more of their funds in the Fed via their US branches.

- The US placed a fresh round of duties on imported Chinese solar products. The move comes SolarWorld AG filed a petition complaining that Chinese manufacturers sidestepped earlier duties by shifting production to Taiwan. The new import duties cover panels made with parts from Taiwan. Chinese solar names saw steep losses on the news. In other trade conflict news, there were reports that China was preparing to cancel rare earth export tariffs in order to comply with WTO rules, after the world trade body ruled in March that Beijing's huge tariffs were a violation of its rules.

- As expected, President Obama unveiled proposals to slash carbon emissions for existing power plants. The President promised to use his executive authority propose new EPA rules that would cut carbon emissions from the country's coal fired plants by up to 30% by 2030. The new rule is expected to be finalized next year, setting the first national limits on CO2 and bypassing Congress. The proposal would give states some flexibility in meeting the targets.

- US May auto sales clearly showed an explosion of pent-up demand, contrasting sharply with very modest results seen in April. Chrysler's sales jumped 17% y/y in May, GM sales surged 12.6%, about twice the expected growth. Ford sales were also a bit better than expected, and in all the industry annualized total US vehicle sales rate (SAAR) for May hit 16.77M, well above a 16.1M expectation.

- There were no big surprises at Apple's WWDC developers' conference on Tuesday, disappointing some Apple adherents who are anxious to see the invention of the next consumer product category. Apple rolled out a new version of its OS X operating system and gave a sneak peak of iOS 8, including the new HomeKit and HealthKit developer platforms. As the names suggest, they provide frameworks for development of health and home management apps, seen as the next big opportunity for wireless devices.

- AT&T raised its full-year revenue forecast for a second time, citing strong growth in its wireless business. The firm offered a range of Q2 metrics guidance, and forecasted net postpaid wireless subscriber additions would exceed 800K, compared to 625K in Q1 and 551K in Q2 of 2013, which was the company's best Q2 postpaid net adds figure in four years. AT&T said it would sell 3.2M smartphones in the quarter under its new AT&T Next program, which lets customers get a new device every 12-18 months when paying a monthly installment plan.

- Unconfirmed reports detailed Sprint's courtship of T-Mobile, a week after press stories that said T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom gave Softbank a green light for Sprint to go after its US unit. Sprint's offer would be a 50/50 cash and stock deal, priced at approximately $40/share for an implied deal value around $32.2B. An RBC analyst aired some skepticism about the prospects of the merger garnering FCC or DoJ approval, and said that Dish could come in with a counter offer. The contest for Hillshire Brands continued, as Pilgrim's Pride boosted its offer to $55/share from $45/share prior, beating out Tyson Foods' own improved $50/share offer from late last week. After receiving the latest bid, Hillshire's board has authorized official negotiations with both Tyson and Pilgrim's Pride under language in its standing merger agreement with Pinnacle Foods. Both offers are conditioned on the termination of Hillshire's pending deal to acquire Pinnacle Foods.

- The euro was on the defensive all week leading up to the rate decision on Thursday, with EUR/USD pivoting around 1.3615. Expectations for ECB action were cemented by the advanced Eurozone May CPI reading, after the data missed expectations (0.5% v 0.6%e), matching the March reading, which was the lowest level in the series since November 2009. The preliminary German May CPI dropped below 1%. After the ECB decision, EUR/USD hit four-month lows at 1.3500 but stayed above the key January low of 1.3477.

- USD/JPY rose to one-month highs around 102.80 on Tuesday after data showed that Japan April earnings rose 0.9% y/y, their highest level in two years, and Australia first quarter GDP rose to +3.5%, its fastest pace of expansion in two years. The RBA left its cash rate target unchanged in Tuesday's decision, flatfooting markets that had been factoring in a small chance of a rate cut. AUD/USD rose to two-week highs around 0.9355 on Friday.

- China's official May PMI figures registered another month of steady improvement. Manufacturing expanded for the third consecutive month and hit a five-month high of 50.8, helped by strong gains in the new orders and input prices components. Non-manufacturing hit a six-month high of 55.5. HSBC data were slightly less impressive despite the "mini-stimulus" focus on smaller enterprises: manufacturing PMI slowed to 49.4 - its 5th month of contraction - and services hit a 4-month low of 50.7. According to HSBC's chief China economist, the data clearly shows China's recovery momentum is slowing and policymakers will need to further ease monetary and fiscal policy to help support growth. Remarks from the IMF's Lipton late in the week were slightly more sanguine. He suggested worries over mainland slowdown are exaggerated but also called for the 2015 GDP target to be lowered to 7.0% to achieve a more "sustainable" growth rate. Investors are staying tuned for more May economic data next week, starting with the trade figures out over the weekend.

- Japanese PM Abe continues to press forward with his ambitious reform agenda. Following a series of meetings, both the Finance Ministry and the LDP Tax Panel have now acquiesced to Abe's push for lower corporate taxes provided there is a new stable source of revenue to compensate for the shortfall. Japan's current rate of 35%+ is substantially higher than the average among developed economies and the new head of Keidanren - Japan's powerful business lobby - has already expressed his desire to see them closer to 25%. On Friday, Abe also requested Health and Welfare minister Tamura to make a more concerted effort on GPIF pension fund reform to increase its investment in the stock market. Decisions on portfolio guidelines are expected at the end of the year, however Abe is aiming for that review to be completed by September or October. Japan's latest updates on economic and monetary policy are also on tap for next week - Q1 final GDP data will kick off the week's data while the BOJ policy statement will be announced on Thursday.

01[13:05] {@Threei}  Ukrainians: any chance these folks bring their own food?...
[13:05] {Alexs} who is polish ambassador, head of NATO?
01[13:06] {@Threei}  good point
01[13:06] {@Threei}  I assume he just had a peak at agenda and reported what's on it and what isn't? :)
[13:06] {Alexs} lol
01[13:08] {@Threei}  but NATO membership isn't enough, EU membership is a peoblem for Putin as well:
01[13:08] {@Threei}  (UR) Russia President Putin, in meeting with EU leaders earlier today, reportedly threatened protectionist policies if Ukraine signs the EU association agreement
01[13:09] {@Threei}  CAT is two-sided...
01[13:10] {@Threei}  I am a bit hesitant to go long here, so still hl
01[13:10] {@Threei}  - Reminder: The EU Association deal with Ukraine was purportedly scheduled to be signed later in the month
01[13:10] {@Threei}  this puts Poroshenko between rock and a hard place
01[13:11] {@Threei}  he was elected on promise to go to EU; previous president was thrown out for breaking similar promise
01[13:11] {@Threei}  and Maidan threatens to repeat it if new one reneges on the promise
[13:12] {nemo} spy and iwm and fas looking a tad weak
01[13:12] {@Threei}  that's why my CAT idea is rather short
[13:12] {Alexs} the winners will be ukrainian airlines, a lot of work to transfer all ukrainians to Europe
01[13:12] {@Threei}  let's disregard long setup
[13:13] {nemo} this is apple's last day trading in the stratosphere
01[13:14] {@Threei}  and clothes manufacturers, Alex - imagine all the clothes to replace after all ukrainians who don't squeeze in airplanes crawl over the border to Poland and Romania
[13:14] {Alexs} rofl
01[13:31] {@Threei}  if this bounce is all, .10 short again
01[13:31] {@Threei}  stop same above .20
[13:33] {Alexs} keep ready your frying pan Vad
01[13:33] {@Threei}  nemo's here - frying pan is handy
01[13:45] {@Threei}  meh
[14:03] {dptl} see ya monday all...got to go
01[14:03] {@Threei}  take care dp
[14:19] {Alexs} Dialogue will begin between pro-Russian separatists and Ukraine over terms of a cease-fire, a French official said. Finally...
[14:21] {Alexs} otherwise how Poroshenko can visit Donetsk
01[14:23] {@Threei}  I'll believe it when I see it... and French offial should refrain from sampling russian vodka during these meetings
[14:23] {RonS} communist playbook:  when losing, negotiate ceasefire...rebuild strength, start anew...repeat as often as necessary until total victory
01[14:23] {@Threei}  yup
[14:24] {Alexs} lol
01[14:24] {@Threei}  and they are not even losing
[14:25] {RonS} not kidding Alex...Lenin did it in Russia, Mao in China...especially Mao and the brains...Chou en Lai...they were losing badly
[14:26] {Alexs} but it's a wise way, isn't it?
[14:30] {RonS} the mistake those on the other side seem to always make...as a committed idealogue you will never give up...victory or annihilation
01[14:31] {@Threei}  for the West words, promises and agreements are just that. For KGB they are weapons
[14:32] {Alexs} I think if ukrainians don't finish their antiterrorist operation before Poroshenko inauguration (and I'm sure they don't) he has to negotiate with separatists
01[14:33] {@Threei}  Moscow has told Kyiv off for partially sealing the border between eastern Ukraine and Russia.
01[14:34] {@Threei}  does that look to French official like hopeful?
[14:35] {Alexs} Putin said after meeting with Poroshenko that ukrainian president has a plan to resolve the problem... Guess what is the plan that Putin accepts
