Photos Prove Putin a Liar

Vladimir Putin has insisted that there are no Russian troops in eastern Ukraine - just like he insisted there were no Russian troops in Crimea until he admitted it last week.

Now, the New York Times reports there are photos that clearly show known Russian military and intelligence people mixed in with pro-Russian militias, fomenting strife in Eastern Ukraine.

For two weeks, the mysteriously well-armed, professional gunmen known as “green men” have seized Ukrainian government sites in town after town, igniting a brush fire of separatist unrest across eastern Ukraine. Strenuous denials from the Kremlin have closely followed each accusation by Ukrainian officials that the world was witnessing a stealthy invasion by Russian forces.

Now, photographs and descriptions from eastern Ukraine endorsed by the Obama administration on Sunday suggest that many of the green men are indeed Russian military and intelligence forces — equipped in the same fashion as Russian special operations troops involved in annexing the Crimea region in February. Some of the men photographed in Ukraine have been identified in other photos clearly taken among Russian troops in other settings.

Shame you seem to be worried more about Putin the communist than you are about Obama the communist.

What's with the Kremlin apologists and constantly trying to distract from their guy? I can certainly consider Putin a KGB man and communist and Obama as a commie, without having any mental problems where the two positions seem to be contradictory. I think it's you guys who have lost your grounding in right or wrong that are more obsessed with this stuff than I am.

Just a short time ago, your hero Barack Obama,

Please don't spam me anymore with your stupid posts. Thanks
