‘Thieves’: Russia savages EU after Cyprus gets £8.5billion bailout deal which could see richest investors losing 40% of savings. Other people’s money. I imagine the idiots in the Obama administration are figuring out how to pull this one off and bend us all forward over the bank counter any day now.

Better watch out if you're a member of the EU finance Council. The Russian Mob has a bad habit of making people they dislike rather dead.
Yeah, the Russian mob is heavy on ex Spetsnaz, and they make Capone and the Lavender hill mob look like soft heart amateurs.
Okay, seriously folks -
Look at the 2nd pic down in the linked article, the one with the blue background, and tell me you don't see one picture that screams "trouble" very very loudly.
Are you talking about the disturbing similarity to the UN, or the fact that it looks like they resurrected Andy Warhol?
Whyinell are they continuing to loan Cyprus or Greece more money. They will just piss away what they have confiscated/stolen and borrowed in a few months and they will be right back in the same fix. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different....oh well, anyone with a brain knows the rest. Yes, that does exclude any and all politicians and LOFO's.
I'd say just calling them thieves is being overly polite. I hope they pissed off the wrong people in Russia. Perhaps putting a few of the decision makers on the receiving end of a PO'ed mob boss will stop this crap in the future. If they get away with it this time they'll think they have carte blanche.
Too bad for the Russians (heavy sarcasm) because I hear most, if not all, that money in Cyprus is mob moolah.
Oh, well... easy come, easy go.
Horses heads all around, then?...
Looks like the Russians should have taken their cue from Mitt Romney and Treasury Secretary Lew and put their dough in the Cayman Islands.
