Neither was what your buddy Yanukovych was doing...

Lol...what exactly do you think he was doing that was illegal?

No cut-n-paste answers either, use that big brain of yours for a change...

I don’t think so. Put your rubles where your mouth is and quote obungo, Soros, etc. on Ukraine. But you for sure support Putin on Ukraine. Go check out espreso.tv and then tell me how many times obozo or Soros are mentioned. You are using a very old commie and leftist tactic, to accuse people you don’t agree with of what you are doing yourself. Close, but no cigar.
And if you are not a Russian troll, then you are one really sorry product of the public education. I will be praying for you one way or the other.

These idiots are obsessed with George Soros, EU, they are uninformed, ignorant, and accuse others of being “Communists”, and I don’t think they even know what that means.

Don’t waste your time with them. Most likely they are posting from Moscow, from the basement of Lubyanka, and have to produce a number of posts in order to make enough change to buy the daily dose of vodka.

If you really want to flush them out post a topless picture of Putin on a horse or something; you won’t be able to move for drool round here.

For quite a few years now the Chi-cons, Putin, and a lot of the Eastern Europe “former” communist parties have been using teams of internet trolls to hijack the forums, dilute and misdirect the discussions, push favorable opinions of their bosses, etc. The best way to handle it is to not engage them at although it is necessary sometimes.
You are right about the naked picture of Putya but I am trying to go to sleep and I hope I don’t have nightmares after that visual.

Yep, because nothing says “non-corrupt man of principle” like gold plated golf clubs, a gold plated throne toilet, and your very own petting zoo of exotic animals...

You know, you can be a paid shill and not be quite so obvious about it...
