Russian people have nothing against Putin. Please stop talking out of your ass like you know what you're talking about.

:seriously: Where did I say that Russian people have anything against Putin?

I do know what I am talking about, you just apparently can't read. The Ukrainians wan't to get away from the russian mafia, which is what caused this current protest. Yanukovych backed out of a deal that would have seen them have closer ties to the EU.

Also I doubt very much that all "russian people have nothing against Putin". Or even most...

to be fair, NATO is just as gangster as Russia.

Even looking at the origins of North America. it was land just taken away from the native indians. gangster.

and using this 1st world vs 2nd world terminology itself: these are western propaganda style terms stemming from WW2 (iirc)

The origins are pretty brutal, I agree.

The terminology was more hyperbole than anything on my part, and I agree that it is just propaganda.

There is nothing worng with having a rich head of state. Look at Paul Martin. What matters is where/how he got the money.

at the seat of humanity is gangsterism, circa 500,000,000 years ago, when life evolved beyond simple algae and fungus.

don't kid yourself with thinking there's an orderly civilized path to conquering and domination. all it is, is just red tape in the way of the same conclusion: drawing blood.

one of our closest relatives, chimps, do business the exact same way we do, and for the exact same reasons too. What's frightening is, their tactics in patrolling/reconnaissance and ambushing are the EXACT same ones we use.

it would seem that it is hard wired into us. It's like this planet is an arena, and evolution slowly breeds gladiators, and one at the top of the food chain becomes the ultimate weapon.

we don't make war... we, are, war.

So it sounds like there may be another issue boiling out of this turmoil with regard to Crimea, they don't like what's going on in the Ukraine and supposedly the majority of the Crimean people want to rejoin Russia, some are asking for Russia to send troops in (just on BBCnews)

Ukraine the next Yugoslavia?

Highly doubt it. For one, the nation is more homogenous (both ethnically and religiously).

UN security council will respond by sending a letter to Russia. Useless fucking organization.

godwin 02-28-2014 02:05 PM

I find it humorous that US keeps telling Russia not to intervene, but we all know they can't do diddly.

The west won't intervene, because that means they will be on the hook for all the money Russia "loaned" to Ukraine.. I can see Russia just want to get their money back like a bad loan shark.

Shit just got real, Russia sending the boys in :ilied:

Your move America.

1.Bomb the shit out of the country
2.Invade and takeover a country
3.Send in military arms for the local residents
4.Sit back and yell at Russia

xpl0sive 02-28-2014 05:02 PM

This is exactly the same thing as happened in Georgia a few years ago. What did the US do about it then? Nothing. They won't do anything about Ukraine either. It's not worth starting world war 3 over because Putin would not back down

russia isnt saying they are or arent in crimea but stated if there are russian troops in there its based on prior agreements ;)

I'ma go with door #4. USA isn't the powerhouse that they used to be... they talk a lot of shit but never back it up. And they're poor and know if they start a WW3 they would likely bankrupt the country completely in which case Russia would just walk in and take over the place.

rsx 02-28-2014 06:17 PM

Looks menacing!

StylinRed 02-28-2014 06:31 PM

^^^ reminds me of this

Ball.J.Inder 02-28-2014 09:33 PM

This shit is kind of getting out of hand. If you look at what started WW1 and WW2, it's always some small thing and then superpowers start measuring dicks and all their allies jump in. Hopefully those Russian troops moving into Ukraine is just a show of force and not some type of preparation for something bigger.

CharlesInCharge 03-01-2014 03:48 PM

Like ww1 and ww2 the Nazi's and the Zionists are at it again sponsored by the same Feemasonic ZioAmericans as one can see in this USA disclosure of funding opposition in Ukraine in the tune of 5 billion dollars... note the Chevron sponsor emblem.
