He makes some interesting points in that discussion but there is one problem - Russia actually annexed Crimea and invaded a small part of Eastern Ukraine with its military forces. First part is confirmed even by "president" of Russia itself in an official "documentary" film "Crimea. The way back Home." Second part is confirmed by many unofficial reports only yet but give it a time. It's a state-level terrorism. End of discussion.

Ok, back to work

Russia didn't annex Crimea out of the blue. There was a whole lot of actions that preceded it. Just prior to the "annexation" was the fact that 95.5% of voters in Crimea voted to join Russia.
Anyway, it's all going according to plan:
History Section
------------------------------------------------
1 - Russia supplies Europe with gas to prevent it from freezing (captive market)
2 - Gutter (aka Qatar) has the 3rd largest supply of LNG (liquified natural gas) in the world behind Russia and Iran.
3 - Gutter buys a shitload of US debt
4 - Gutter can't move the gas to Europe because there is no pipeline, only ships which are more expensive
5 - USA, Saudi Arabia, and Gutter would like to build a pipeline through Syria that will connect with Europe
6 - In order to topple Syria, Russia (which backs Syria) must be weakened
7 - The US takes out the elected government in the Ukraine by Coup De Etat, replacing it with more "westerners" to fuck with Russia
8 - Saudi Arabia crashes the price of oil to fuck with Russia
Future Events Section
------------------------------------------------
1 - The US, Saudi, Guttarian plan will fail as Russia will not collapse
2 - The US Petrodollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world
3 - DarkCoin will become the new reserve currency of the world
simple.
Russia is not collapsing:

I wouldn't call that process "vote"... Right before "vote" Crimea was already occupied by so called "polite people" (i.e. Russian military forces). And even if I would... Was there at least the same "vote" in Russia itself on the same point?... No.
That picture is ok if you count from Jan 2015 (1$ = 65p, now it's 1$ = 50p). Count from Sep 2014 (1$ = 34p) and you'll see the real picture.
