Lol!

Do you have any evidence that photo wasn't taken in 2004? Or that is hasn't been digitally manipulated?

Who's the "leader" in the black jacket?

I'm sure your boyfriends at Reddit know the answer..

The Ukrainians don’t trust anyone as you would not after what they have been through. What they are looking for is a trade agreement not membership in the EU

There is a strong nationalist movement now that I think will prevail

I think you're right.

The Serbs got no mercy from the West when it was necessary to make them toe the Western line, and Georgia got no help for willingly toeing the Western line.

All the Ukrainians need is to be able to accurately predict the future.

[varmintman]

Some reason why the Ukraine would want to end up like Greece, Cyprus, or Portugal?? Looks to me like they chose life over death...

[Tailgunner Joe]

The USA did help Georgia. We armed them and helped them shoot down Russian jets and kill Russians. We sent our ships to the Black Sea carrying nuclear missiles and Putin backed off because he is afraid of the USA. When Georgia needs help again we will help them kill more Russians.

It’s all about Western Ukraine vs. Eastern/Soviet Ukraine.

Lots of History.

I see the Georgian flag made an appearance in that picture, Georgians know better than to try to appease the mass-murdering war criminal KGB Putin since he invaded their country and massacred thousands of innocent Christians souls.

Saakashvili Addresses Protesters In Kiev - December 7, 2013 - “Ukrainian triumph will put an end to the era of Vladimir Putin and it will start here, on this very square,” he said.

Saakashvili, who graduated from the Taras Shevchenko National University in Kiev in 1992 after serving with the Soviet border troops in Ukraine, addressed the rally in Ukrainian reading out from notes.

“I am Georgian, I am Ukrainian, therefore I am European,” he said.

Earlier on Saturday he told Tbilisi-based Rustavi 2 TV in Kiev that developments in Ukraine are of vital importance for Georgia. “Georgia’s fate is also being decided here. We can’t remain passive observers,” he said.

And look, oh my goodness, 3 out of 3 are wearing crosses.

[1rudeboy]

Stuff it, Ivan. I am to believe that this is all a Soros-led conspiracy, but you cannot believe a single photo or video easily found on the Internet.

[1rudeboy]

Do you remember, when the Russians invaded Georgia, a couple of our resident Bolsheviks trying to convince the rest of us that it was a military operation against Muslims?

Because they "heard*" it somewhere. LOLOL

_____
*From the Kremlin.

[Tailgunner Joe]

They also tried to convince us that actually Georgia attacked Russia first and Putin was only defending Russia from Georgian aggression.

Their lies are laughable.

[1rudeboy]

I should’ve bookmarked some of those threads. They were a hoot. Although I suppose, if Putin decides to “liberate” [snort] Ukraine, our Bolshie friends will be back.

[Edward Teach]

This is what they are fighting for!

Boooah! Where do I sign up? What was this thread about anyway?

[1rudeboy]

These are the soldiers you will be fighting with . . . good luck.

[GeronL]

I don’t consider the EU to be “pro-west” any more

[1rudeboy]

And that’s completely acceptable . . . but if it causes you to fantasize about how Vladimir Putin will take care of, and comfort, you . . . then you have larger issues to worry about other than the EU.

[GeronL]

I don’t think they should get closer to Russia either. I wouldn’t trust Putin any more than I trust Obama

[rcrngroup]

I will take number 1... or 2.... or 3

[xzins]

I do consider Putin still to be an old order communist.

[SRT8 man]

They’re freeer in the Russian Federation than in the EU.
It ain’t the Soviet Union anymore.

[goldstategop]

Ukrainians are as deeply divided as Belarussians. Some see themselves being closer to Russia and others are closer to the West.

Russia would like Ukraine to join the Customs Union to counterbalance the Central Asian Muslims. But that’s not likely to happen in the Putin Era.

I see the old Soviet ties gradually being restored of necessity but no one wants a recreation of the Soviet Union. It would never work.
