Criminally "elected" government if you ask most Ukrainians. Yanokovych was a thief, rapist and a crook.Let us see how this developed...
1] ELECTED govn't over thrown by western backed Neo- Nazis
Historically it was Tartar territory or even the Cossacks territory. And they associate more with the Ukrainians. And voting when an AK47 stuck in your face is not much of a vote.2] Crimea VOTES to go to Russian side...being historically part of Russia
See number one above.2] 3] Eastern people who I would bet helped the ELECTED govn't come into power to begin with want their freedom from Kiev.
It sure sounds like you have been sucked into the Russian propaganda machine. And Russia won't help anyone. If you were on fire in Russia there is no one that would even piss on you or I. It's a simple land grab for territory. Very similar to Hitler and the early stages of WW22] 3]Now will Russia step in to help people who want to free themselves from a govn't that they did not elect?
Time will tell, would the USA if given the same scenario happened on their border set in to help? In a New York Minute they would!
So while quoting your western propaganda reports of the Ukraine and what is happening there ...remember there are two sides to a story...we have been lied to so many times by CNN, BBC,CBC etc. I will not be sucked into their lies again.
I thought you would.Das Tiger good post...I agree with what Putin was saying and it seems reasonable over all.
Well I would prefer him as neighbour then your president or my Prime Minister. As we know in life we don't always get what we want.I thought you would.
Yeah. He's a great guy. I wish I had him as a neighbor. It's hard to find people you can trust.....
And happy Easter to all.
But you could get what you want very easily. They have a surprisingly simple immigration system so if you ever decided to go that route you could become a Russian citizen without much trouble. They had to make it simple of course to offset the thousands of Russians fleeing/escaping political and social repression, errrr, I mean (in Putin speak) "going abroad for an extended period of time to broaden their intellects and therefor making Russian a better country upon their eventual return....."Well I would prefer him as neighbour then your president or my Prime Minister. As we know in life we don't always get what we want.
Well I have all those things here...I also have free use of a cottage/summer house on a lake when I like, already.
I am not unhappy or angry... remember forums do not show emotions, there are times that I get angry, overall I am a very satisfied person. More often then not, I am frustrated with having a govn't that lies to the people almost all the time, I am perturbed with a western media that is run by one or two people that are in the pocket of large corporation and govn't and on top of that a population that believes them.And yet you always seem to be mightily unhappy and angry.. Maybe it's time to change your circumstances, it has never been easier than now in the 21st century..![]()

I am tired of the large corporations that get away with crimes that you and I would be sent off to a prison and have to work for some private corporation that makes profit off the backs of the inmates, at the tax payers expense.
One might say it's like that all over the world anyway so why bother? It most likely is but if we stop pointing things out and blowing the whistle they win and we will all be Sheeple off to the slaughter.
Oh there is a hope and today we celebrate it The Lord Has Risen!
There are times I wonder why He waits so long to come again as He has promised, I am tired and I believe most of humanity is also, this party down here has worn thin. I know the scriptures say that it will be as in the days of Noah, before He returns(Matthew 24:36-44). I say WTF did the people of Noah's day do? They did not have the industrial revolution, TV, computers, nukes, etc. Now there is another question I have for the Lord when I get time to ask Him.
So I wait and pray, I know the scriptures and teach them to any who should listen free or those in bonds. I speak as the apostle John in the book of Revelation..."He who testifies about these things says,"Yes, I am coming quickly."
'Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus, be with all the saints.Amen. (Revelation 22: 20-21)
So Happy Easter to all and my God bless you all in some way this day.
Thank you sir. I could not have said this better. While I have not lived there yet I feel I have visited enough to get a good understanding of what the differences are.What I don't agree with is justifying horrible, even criminal actions of other states / groups with a kind of relativism that our western societies are somehow the same. No, they are not .. and I prefer them over the other failed, corrupt, cleptocratic entities by a long way. Maybe this is sometimes hard to understand if you haven't lived on the other side of the "iron curtain" for at least some part of your life.
Are we really in the grand picture...we are just as corrupt only we couch it in more flowery forms. ie. HSBC laundering drug money from Mexico...we can't prosecute them because they are to big and if they go down our whole economy goes with them???? LOL The more money you have the less one has to fallow the rules of law. What about the you rich kid that claimed Affluenza as a defence after killing 4 while driving drunk. I could go on and on but I believe I made the point.What I don't agree with is justifying horrible, even criminal actions of other states / groups with a kind of relativism that our western societies are somehow the same.
