Guess what...you're just as dull and boring without the accent.
I just found it amusing that you complimented what essentially is a red (ha!) herring argument.
There is so much wrong with what you wrote, it’s hard to know where to begin.
The EU brokered an agreement whereby Yanukovich stayed in office and the Maidan protesters would disperse. Moscow, the EU and Yanukovich were all for this agreement, but the Maidan protesters refused it. Don’t you remember that?
So was Obama on the EU’s side that time? Because if he was, then he was also on Russia and Yanukovich’s side and against the Ukrainians. Ukraine says no to Putin, no to Yanukovich, no to the EU, and No to Obama.
None of this has anything to do with gayness or Syria at all. That’s just stupid.
The conservative European People’s Party is grooming Vladimir Klitschko to represent EU interests in Ukraine. When Nuland said F the EU she was saying F Klitschko.
Nuland was voicing a lot more than this administration's displeasure with one individual...it was more like the entire EU approach toward engineering events and outcomes in the Ukraine.
The other thing that stood out from that Russian "propaganda" leak was just how firmly the US State Dept.'s hand was inserted up the backs of the Ukrainian opposition puppets.
See my tagline.
Yes, the EU has not stood up against Putin enough, they have not stood up for US/NATO interests. That is what’s wrong with their approach. The USA must act in our own interests in Ukraine, we can’t count on the EU to stand up to Putin. They won’t. So she was right, and furthermore, she got her way, Klitsch was sidelined and Yats became PM. Good.
The Cold War contained a real threat of Soviet invasion of Western Europe. This is no Cold War, there is no threat to the United States, and there is no reason for us to fight anyone on either side of this conflict.
Ok, so when China takes Taiwan, no problem. Glad you cleared that up.
How did you jump from Russia and Ukraine to China and Taiwan? What about Jupiter and Mars?
Let’s see you explain the difference.
Hmm...was it in the interest of US/NATO to lose Crimea to the Russians?
That is one end result of American led foreign policy in the region.
Russia already had troops in Crimea, so strategically speaking, Putin gained nothing. Putin is all style and no substance. He invaded a tiny region he already held but he lost the entire rest of Ukraine forever. Ukrainians will never forgive Russia now and they will be fighting each other forever. Stupid drooling thug Putin has played right into the hands of his enemies.
Lol...if you say so, but six years ago the Russian Black Sea fleet was getting ready to decamp Crimea. Now they're going to be based there permanently.
