“...and the New York Times a ‘high credibility’ rating.”
Well, now you know who its major donor is. :)
😄 I would submit that we really do not know what led up to the annexation of eastern Ukraine and the Crimea. It bothered me originally that such a confrontation should become necessary. Could a reasonable observer believe that Russia - who critically lacks convenient sea ports - would give up the Crimea without a fuss?
I thought to myself, a somewhat experienced negotiator, that perhaps Ukraine could have offered a lease arrangement to Yalta - say 100 rubles a year or some such. BUT, as I say, I am not an expert on the region nor the details that led up to Russia's aggression; I suspect much info is being 'held close'.
I do think that S0r0s and the 'West' are stumbling towards a nuclear confrontation with Russia - and I don't like that! My Senator answered me that Russia is a rotten country and a bully. I replied that Russia has always been a rotten country and a bully; we managed to avoid a nuclear war with them up to now.
