I understand that you might be a little miffed that I don't touch myself whenever I see a photo of Vladi, but that's the breaks . . . there are people out there who do not worship the Sov, er, don't worship Russia as much as you.

And they are on the streets. while your fat ass sits posting on the internet.

Finally, consider what the EU deal was actually offering the Ukraine...a decade or more of IMF imposed serfdom with the concomitant loss of national sovereignty,

IMF imposed? How many divisions does the IMF have? LOL!

Compare that to Russia's legitimate offer

Wow, you're funny.

What would Russian troops be doing in a Georgian city?

Defending their citizens, who want no part of Georgia, from the depredations of a tie-chewing madman perhaps.

Georgia never attacked Russia. Genocidal Nazi Russia attacked Georgia in support of ethnic separatists and helped those separatists ethnically cleanse thousands of innocent Georgian civilians.

The IMF will lend the money to Ukraine and send the bill to it's member nations, regardless of whether the Ukraine defaults on the loan or fails to abide by its terms. Meanwhile, Ukraine's Russian creditors will get paid in full in Euros for last year's gas bill and this year's as well. The longer Ukraine wears the IMF yoke, the more the Russians get paid, and the more IMF member states pay in to the scheme.

Eventually even an oaf like you will figure out who is getting screwed in that deal.

Sounds like the "yoke" means the "yokers" give money to the "yokee". Sounds awful. Much worse than the Soviet boot, LOL!

Sounds like the opposite of your original claim, oaf.

Are you actually defending the EU/IMF structures and their proposal for Ukraine or just demonstrating your limited mastery of the 'better/worse' logic paradigm that Wolf Blitzer taught you?

Perhaps you should explain "why" its better for the United States to have some unelected European bureaucracy commit billions of our tax dollars (via another unelected bureaucracy the IMF) to a corrupt and bankrupt eastern European country, in order to "save it" from the dreaded Soviet boot?

I'm sure your answer will be quite amusing.

The question is, is Putin more "pro-West" than Obama, Hollande, and Cameron?

I must admit, that possibility has crossed my mind.

I'm simply mocking your belief that the Soviets can be trusted more than the EU.

I can be against the IMF without hanging a Putin poster on my wall. Is he on horseback in your poster?
