I used to be one of those aMerica Love It Er Leave It types and I used to hate commies, but I see through all that now. We really ain't the land of the free like we pretend to be. Everything we do is to satisfy the corporations. We say we're spreading democracy, but what we're really doing is making an area corporate friendly. The reason why our news is so negative towards Russia is that they aren't friendly enough towards corporations. Heck, all indications are that Russia is at least as free as we are, but they don't kiss corporate ass and so the result is a bunch of negative BS from our corporately controlled news media. What a joke!

Obama: Don't Compare Ukraine Invasion To Iraq
Cenk makes some good point here, but he doesn't go nearly far enough. There is no comparison between what the USA did in Iraq and Russia's involvement in Ukraine. What we did was VERY VERY VERY BAD!!! The Russians on the other hand acted very positively. They accepted Crimea as a territory in their country after the people of Crimea voted to join Russia.

a2z: You're right, there is no comparison. I heard someone compare the thing going on in Crimea to the Mexican American War back in 1846, but I don't think that's a good comparison either. Actual combat occurred in that war and there was no actual armed conflict in Crimea. There were some Ukrainian troops who didn't vacate their bases after the vote and annexation were official, but that was after the fact and they should have just left without the need of a threat.

Say what? Obama claims 'Iraq invasion not as bad as Crimea'
Each one of Obama's stupidly obvious lies is answered, one by one. It's so simple. There's not enough lipstick in the world to make Obama's pig look like anything other than a pig although the corporate media is bending over backwards in an attempt to do exactly that. It's so pathetic and so obvious.

Blonde Bombshell: Crimea prosecutor internet sensation & 'wanted' in Kiev :kiss:
Thirty-three years old and majorly hot. This lady prosecutor can prosecute me anytime!!! It's not surprising given her incredible good looks that she's the inspiration for a Japanese anime character!

Dark Side Candidate: Darth Vader announces bid for Ukrainian presidency
This is pretty funny and Darth Vader would most likely be an improvement over any of the other candidates for president of Ukraine!

Ukraine Crisis - What You're Not Being Told
This is interesting. The European and American public are being systematically lied to about the Ukraine crisis. The US media is keeping a lot of important information from the American public. Interesting information about Svoboda included here. They sound worse than Al Qaeda and guess who's backing Svoboda? You guessed it. The government of the USA! Our leaders just don't seem to have learned a lesson from 911. Look forward to bigger problems in the future thanks to the idiots in charge!

mrgreen: Svoboda is definitely trouble and they actually sound worse than than Al Qaeda or the Taliban in many ways. Our leaders sometimes do the dumbest things in an attempt to get at the Russians. It would be better if we just tried to cooperate with the Russians, rather than always play a game of whose got the biggest dick all the time!
