It is quite typical reaction on covered by hairs hands in Asia. I got the same many times in VN, KH, TH and so on...

everything is working now, sorry for troubles

SGT and GB are on different servers, when you got troubles in 2018 (or 2017?) with your board I bought server for it at the same hosting where SGT is located. Both are located in Canada. They have shared billing, that why they got down both.

Everything will be ok in a few hours. I'm on travel and missed invoice to pay.

History has no subjunctive mood. The US is the only country in the world in human history to have dropped nuclear bombs on innocent civilians.

Can't agree about hotels in VN. In VN you can easy find 4**** hotel in front of the beach with rooftop pool and bar for $50-60 including breakfasts for 2 persons, sea view room with balcony. This goal is unreachable in TH.

UnionPay has about 16% of Russian card market, almost every ATM serves it. MIR cards have about 75% of adult Russians - it is default "salary card" here (free, minimum of commissions, 2-3 times higher cashback in comparation with VISA or MC), 62% of b2c and c2c economies are cashless because of it. Besides Russian banks, about 20 Chinese banks are working here.

Whatever. US is only country in World what barbarically dropped nuclear bombs on heads of innocent civilians. Nuclear. Bomb. Point. And never said "we are sorry". Germans did it after WWII. US never did. And by your logic Russia should immediately drop bomb to Kyev? For to "save hundreds of thousands on both sides"?

I'm for sure feel better than citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945

They were predicted only because of organized leak: Russia need to be sure no foreign diplomat will be killed in Kyev, no foreign instructor will be killed in fields, for not to give to NATO reason to be involved. When all embassies were moved to Lviv, and US and UK instructors recalled from Ukraine, Russia started actions.

No, it is cut from original interview - Ukrainian channel logo is in top-right corner

You should read and understand: 96% not from overall population, but of voted. About 73% came to vote and 96% of them voted for independence - looks like only etnic Russian came for to vote and most of etnic Ukrainians ignored voting. But 2/3 is 2/3 anyway. Democracy. I just remind: to make referendum was decision of the same parliament what ruled Crimea while it was republic within Ukraine - the same MPs. And after referendum the same MPs send letter to Russian parliament for to join Russian Federation as an autonomous republic of Crimea.

No chances: Ukraine, US and Russia aren't members of Rome statute. US denounced it just before Iraq invasion and even announced sanctions on ICC prosecutors, when investigation of cases in Iraq started, Ukraine signed but not ratified because of nationalists's objections in parliament, Russia signed but denounced in 2016 because of low efficiency of court - only 4 cases in 10 years and US$1 bln of expenses.

Ukrainian president Zelensky at time of his press-conference. March 3. Just watch it, you don't need to know Ukrainian. Only 42 sec. What do you think: alcohol or cocaine?

How many "Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Croatian" refugees surfed from discrimination in own country because they are speaking Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Croatian? How many Hungarian, Croatian, Polish TV station and schools were closed in their homelands? How many Polish, Croatian Romanian refugees lost ability to wrote to any state officials in own language before to ran to work in neighborhood country? Why do you think Ukraine so easy lost Crimea just in 3 days in 2014 without shoots and with only 1 (one) fatality case? Because etnic Russians are majority in Crimea. 2/3 of population there are Russians. Why Crimea ran from Ukraine only in 2014? Just because nationalist took power in Ukraine by revolt in 2014. Before 2014 there was no intention within Crimean Russians to run from Ukraine. But in 2014 "Ukrainian" Crimean paliament announced referendum and Crimeans voted over 96% for independence.

Russian army is army of soldiers who serve military service by contracts. They have salary, insurance and may quite from service at any time, unless whole country mobilization is announced. Right now here is no any mobilization. So it is their and their families choice to serve in army and to die or not die. Payments to soldiers and officers are so high (for time when service is going in dangerous conditions like military operations) what here are known cases when candidates tries to bribe officials for to get into army parts in Syria.

Aren't "crazies" on photo - nationalists are base of current regime, and Nazi - are core of current nationalist movements in Ukraine. And please pay attention: I have relatives in Ukraine and Crimea, so I don't read "news" from both sides - I speak by phone with people who are trusted and are watching everything by own eyes. Moreover: Moscow is filled with etnic Russian refuges from Eastern Ukraine. They are very visible by their Southern pronunciation. Here are over one million refuges in Russia now half of them are surviving in Moscow and suburban and working as taxi drivers, construction workers, cashiers in supermarkets and so on... I meet them every day. Personally.

This isn't filming scene, nor historical reconstruction. It is Ukraine after 2014:

if you still able to open your eyes then look here, it is how modern (just prewar) Ukraine looks like. How did you say? 1941?

Right now (ok, 2 days ago) Putin's approval rating grew from 65% to 71% in Russia.

That's not true. Transfers are limited to US $10000 per transfer. Cards VISA/Master abroad works as intended, unless they are issued by 7 (from 330+) banks under sanctions, cards from such banks are working only within Russia. Besides VISA/Master in Russia are widely distributed Chinese UnionPay and own MIR.
