Thread continued from here.. As always, feel free to quote from the previous thread. No, it isn't true of most US conflicts. Taking recent examples, nobody relied on Afghanistan for anything, because Afghanistan doesn't produce anything, and isn't even a transit point for anything. Iraq was...

There are reports in the Jerusalem Post that Russia and Ukraine are negotiating a path to peace, and its a hard one. -Ukraine will have to give up Donbass region. -Pledge that Ukraine will not join NATO. -Military of Ukraine must be reduced in size. Zelensky knows that he has tons of...

Chile with help of IBm tried it. System called Cybersyn based on cybernetics/theory of system. Experiment prematurely terminated by coup. Will it? Inevitable? Russians would love your certainty. Thread continued from here http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=357183

In 2014, the US overthrew the democratically elected Ukraine government and installed a neo-Nazi dictator in a CIA led coup. The following Presidents were no better. The current guy Zelenskyy used to be a clown - literally. He's supported by the West because he's completely sold the Ukraine out...

Putin has amassed a very large army on Ukraine's border. They have demanded some very big things. -no more NATO expansion eastward. -no Ukraine membership in NATO. -NATO brings its forces back to 1998 locations. This is some serious stuff. And NATO's response? "**** YOU". Now, if Putin...

http://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/rysslands-sverigeambassador-vi-har-inte-ockuperat-krim It's bizarre that people somehow get the impression that Russians can be trusted. Even when they are trying to reassure people they can't keep themselves from making the most obvious and outrageous lies...

Foreigners defending Donbass against fascism. Why would foreigners do this... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/24/ukraine-conflict-donbass-russia-rebels-foreigners-fighting Oh wait...definition of fascism probably required in comments.

The previous thread (found HERE) was getting long and unwieldy, so I have opened this continuation thread. As always, the split point is arbitrary and you are free to quote from the previous thread into this one. Not just these days, I've had to put up with it all my life and it's damned...

Jews ordered to @Register' in East Ukraine City http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/04/17/jews-ordered-to-register-in-east-ukraine/7816951/

In regards to my post with Uke I have noticed this issue is absent from the conversation from "pro-west" posters here who simply sidestep it at any cost.

One of the major power holders in Ukraine's new govt., is called "Svoboda". It means "Freedom" in English. The party's former name, was "The Social-Nationalist Party", which is was purposely close to Hitler National Socialist Party, due to their shared right-wing views of extreme nationalism...

Things seemed to be going peachy with the EU negotiations. Ukrainian leaders boasted that they could sell Russian gas to Europe cheaper than the Russians. But Putin put his boot down. Take the EU carrot, get the Russian stick. So the Ukrainian leaders backed out. Now people are furious and...

Very interesting article in the NY Times today about Luzhkov, mayor of Moscow, and his leading role in the Russian semi-official policy of encouraging ethnic minorities, particularly the Russian one, in the republics of the former Soviet Union. Evidently Luzhkov, who must have at least Putin's...

Ukraine to join Poland in Missile Defense system. It appears that Russia's attempts to intimidate the former Soviet states are backfiring.

http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/mar/08030703.html Apparently the word has been around since at least 2006 when Václav Klaus mentioned it in a short speech... What a lovely way to hate the sin and love the sinner; or more precisely, to hate the sin and the sinner without actually saying...

Just when I thought the US election was about as contested and divisive as elections can be, I hear all this stuff about the elections in Ukraine. Ukraine held presidential election on October 31st, two days before US elections - which might be why they didn´t attract much attention even...

... Seems quite conceivable that it could break down. Or will they step back from the brink? Now that the challenger has taken an oath of office (which has no legitimacy), things are certainly bowling along. At least they've given up their nuclear weapons. While I don't suppose they'd use them...
