    Best part is that Cybran left his ghetto native country to as he put i:
    sucks the life of the periphery and only benefits the core member states.
    One cant expect him to practice as he preach...
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are being hailed by European Union leaders as examples of how austerity can lead to surging growth because they all cut budget deficits in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

    The reality is that workers are pouring out of all three countries, seeking to regain purchasing power that even the EU’s fastest growth rates haven’t restored. The Baltic nations have the EU’s fastest emigration rates, while people are still flowing into Greece.
    They haven't prospered at all. Their young people are washing dishes in Britain and Germany.

    Yeah that's why their standards of living dwarfs the east?

    Seriously, go chill in one of those eastern countries for awhile to sate your hardon.

    Of course we do. Countries like Austria, Spain and Great Britain, the countries that Luxembourg and the Dutch leech off.

    Now that that's cleared up.

    Maybe you could explain why those closest to Russia have the lowest level of development and standard of living.

    Good olde Cybran quoting article from 2012.Selective resourcing at its best!
    Tell me, how many Poles there are in UK? Or Hungarians,Spanish and Greeks? Same numbers.
    You havent tho cared to find an article where re-emigration programm is hailed as success by all parties.

    I for one dont wash dishes in Germany or anywhere else.

    If we hadnt joined EU, we wouldve been the same kind of shithole that Moldova and Ukraine at the moment is.
    Go check up Estonias economy statistics and forecasts.Beats the living shit out of the neverendingly rioting Greece,in fact Estonia is growing as next IT tech hub in region.Where is Greece?


    On the other news, EU is planning to fund Azerbaijan/Iran gas pipeline to Greece/Italy/France.
    Cant post any links,yet.

    Meanwhile in Ukraine pro-unity people are getting beat up in Donetsk.Lifenews claims its a ''neo-nazi'' parade.
    Look for BoothWilliam in twitter to catch up.

    Out of all of them Moldova has the worst standard of living, because it's difficult ethnic composition and the fact that there was a civil war there in the early 90s. The same is true for the West Balkans. While countries closer to Russia like the Baltics, Azerbaijan and Armenia have been experiencing consistent growth thanks to their ties and trade with Russia.

    Your point, as usual, not withstanding.

    And its chaning,rapidly.They will remain our trading parterns but not that influental as everyone who doesnt suffer fromr retardation realizes that Russia as business partner and future investment is shit.
    For Estonia Russia is only 3rd biggest exporter,Sweden and Finland as first two and it`ll only increase since we are busy integrating in to Scandinavian economy model.
    For Latvia its almost the same, Lithuania is shifting to central Europe/Poland.

    And how do their economies and standard of living sit against the Baltic States?

    Considering how much behind the rest of the USSR Armenia was, it's doing fine. Also both countries were at war in the early 90s much like the West Balkans and Moldova.

    We're not interested in your rationalizations of the data. We're interested in the data itself.

    How, exactly, far behind are they? We can measure in terms of decades if it's easier.

    http://www.indexmundi.com/facts/armenia/gdp-per-capita

    Armenia 1990 - 0,636 billion dollars.

    http://www.indexmundi.com/facts/latvia/gdp-per-capita

    Latvia 1990 - 2,176 billion dollars.

    Their growth has been similar since. You are wrong.

    I thought you just said the Baltic States were lagging? Could you stick to one fiction please?

    So to catch up, that would be...never.

    One of them is next to some of the richest countries in Europe. The other is next to the Middle east and Iran. You don't seem to let facts get in the way of your preconcieved notions, do you?
