Russia sending aid convoy to Ukraine despite Western warnings of invasion pretext
REUTERS ^ | Aug 11, 2014 | Adrian Croft and Sergei Karpukhin

Posted on 08/11/2014 11:02:34 AM PDT by McGruff

President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Russia is sending an aid convoy to eastern Ukraine despite urgent Western warnings against using humanitarian help as a pretext for an invasion.

With Ukraine reporting Russia has massed 45,000 troops on its border, NATO said there was a "high probability" that Moscow could intervene militarily in the country's east, where Kiev forces are closing in on pro-Russian separatists.

In this case, they contend Ukraine is pure as the driven snow and Russia is doing the devil's bidding here on earth. Anyone who disputes the black/white characterization is lambasted with vitriol.

Notice, though, that after whining about how big of a meanie I am, you didn't answer my repeated challenge. You can't just ridicule us as treating Russia unfairly if you don't even back it up.

Maybe the problem here isn't our conduct, but, rather, our opinions you simply dislike.

So, if you don't want to be roasted alive by my incoming vitriol, why not tell us why we should believe Russia isn't doing the bidding of the devil as they try to subjugate a free country?

"It’s not a website for promoting the interests of our Russian enemies who arm and prop up communist and terrorist regimes all around the world from the Ayatollahs to Kim-Jong Un."

Were the posters actually promoting the interests of Russia/Putin?

Yes, they are pathological liars. How do I know that? Because even after I correct them with the facts they repeat the same trash from thread to thread. And they even lie about me, straight to my face.

For example, Tcrlaf has made posts like "[such and such time ago] you were saying the war would be over in two weeks." Just to make me look stupid, when he knows damn well I never said a thing like it. And he's done this many times, spreading lies not just about Ukraine, but about his opponents too.

Normal posters, even the worst PaulBots, ought to at least behave with a certain degree of honor. These guys are NOT normal posters. They are liars and propagandists.

Don't like it? Tough. Get educated about what's going on here before you criticize me.

I did not state that you were treating Russia unfairly.

In fact I have deliberately avoided this fight about who is right/wrong concerning Ukraine and Russia.

I don't care about that.

But your statement about me is a lie:"You can't just ridicule us as treating Russia unfairly if you don't even back it up."

The only issue I have is your name calling. It demeans the site.

For the record, I am on the anti-Russian side of the fence.

But people like you don't deserve the right to advocate for those positions here.

Apparently you want us to believe that you don't really care that much about the issue, or, at least, want to avoid fighting about it, but then, you care enough that we are making Russia out to be doing the "devil's business" and, supposedly, claiming that we believe Ukraine is "snow white"? You care enough to tell us what our opinion is and to make it sound absurd, eh? If you don't even have an opinion, and won't explain why we should embrace your views about this being all gray and muddy, quit bugging regular Freepers.

Not true, I also beat up Mormons and other religious cultists on the religion forum when I am not beating up the Putinista cultists over here.

Maybe they should have thought of that scenario before they overthrew their previous government. We got ISIS on our doorstep. Race riots in the heartland. Iraq's falling apart, EBOLA coming to our shores...

What on earth makes you think somebody who registered to this site in 2013 is a "Regular Freeper"?

That's downright laughable.

And what makes you think a worthless Putinista and a stooge who doesn't even know what's going on here are deserving of respect? That's what's laughable. Quit bugging me. I have my reasons to despise these scumbags, and can defend them too. Pay attention long enough, switch off RT, and you will become me, soon enough.

;’’thought of that scenario ‘’

They demonstrated and their own elected parliament
voted the asshole out..They still had a gov and
parliament. Just as if our people demonstrated and got
some backbone in comgress to impeach our g-damn crooks.

As far as the fractious assholes in the ME they will
thin out their own numbers, and if we here, can undo our
commie/fascists here, using what would be an example
if little guy UKR with help, knocking russia down
few pegs, we will end problems with isis types here...

“ought to only apply to actual human beings. Putinists are not human beings,,,”

How genocidal of you. Like unter-menschen? Like the Cockroaches of Rwanda? Like soviet non-persons? Every genocide on earth has been characterized by your thinking. Apropos since you are on the Nazi side on this.

Its especially funny how you call people traitor, for not being sufficiently loyal to the Kiev coup and Obama. LOL

I'm not recommending genocide. Just scorn, derision, maybe throwing rotten vegetables, that all PaulBots, Putinists and Undermen such as yourself have coming.

This is a pro-American website for patriotic conservatives. It’s not a website for promoting the interests of our Russian enemies who arm and prop up communist and terrorist regimes all around the world from the Ayatollahs to Kim-Jong Un.

Amen! And work both outside our borders and within our borders to weaken America and hurt our interests worldwide.

These Putinista's are traitors and should be treated as such imo.

They don't bring anything worthwhile here ... just a pack of lies and disinformation, post after post after post. Anyone who thinks Russia is our friend and a honorable nation, go live there for a while and find out the hard way. ISIS and the goof in the WH house are our only foes, Russia and Putin are on that list just as deservedly. We take our eyes off Putin and we will pay the price deadly.
