I feel so sorry for the Russians. Think of the Cold War. No nation on earth was surrounded by hostile communist neighbors the way Russia was. It wasn’t fair.

Maybe what Russia should do is invade all the countries not in NATO to show them that it’s anti-Russian to want to be in NATO.

Anyone who believes the Russians are an aggressor - in Ukraine or elsewhere - is a propaganda victim with brainwashing way too deep to deprogram them through a messageboard.

Maybe what they should do is drop a nuke on you.

Since you like poking the nuclear bear so much.

Yes, that would prove that they’re a reasonable and benign power. Yours is certainly a Modest Proposal. But if they cannot do that, cannot nuke me, they should at least bring back the GULAG. I mean you cannot merely assassinate journalists and then turn around and let people still say things that don’t praise Putin. Again, this is so unfair that people keep poking the poor lil happy go lucky bear.

People are just being fed propaganda by the MSN. It always amazes me how people will acknowledge how the media lies about conservatives all the time but then they assume the media telling the truth about Russia.

If it requires Neo-Nazi’s violently overthrowing the government to get the Ukraine into NATO then maybe you’re aligning yourself with the wrong side in this debate.

Ukraine isn’t in NATO. Probably you know that. Yes, they’d like to be, what neighbor of Russia wouldn’t want some hope of not being invaded the way your country has taken a hunk of Ukraine (Crimea), or how you’ve continued to run an undeclared war against Ukraine using Russian arms and Russian “volunteers.” Yes, the poor bear has to snatch land from it’s peaceful neighbors, to kill them, to shoot down civilian airlines over their nation, to protect them from Goldstein. Moscow is the Third Rome, you know. That gives them the God given right to stomp the hell out of their neighbors.
