“We don’t want to do it, but we will, we will do it only in order to protect Ukrainian citizens. We will put their women and children in front of our troops, not behind, but in front and we will be hiding our solders behind them. I dare any Ukrainian commander to give an order to shoot at such crowd.”

Protecting citizens by putting their babies and girls in the line of fire? Logical.

And protecting them from... The troops with guns on them?? Hmmm.

Someone is playing some fun translation games. The remarks appear to be nothing of the sort that are claimed. Sounds like it was actually braggadocio on Putin’s part that if Ukraine moved against Crimean Russians, they would find Ukrainians there standing in front of Russian troops,,,protecting them, because they sympathize with them.

His remarks were made publically, so there should be little debate as to what he actually said.

I’m amazed to see war propaganda everywhere all the sudden. I almost think the west actually wants a war with Russia in their backyard. It’s just insane.

They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

They certainly are! I don’t believe a word that comes out of the regime. They’re furiously fanning the flames.

Probably not, but he is out to reassemble the Soviet Union, and possibly more.

Adolf Hitler used the fog of war to conceal his genocidal end game. The bam is trying to do the same to conceal his destruction of the United States.

It’s amazing to see this happening again,,,. Russia established its navy base in Sevastopol in 1783 and had it for a few centuries. It was their main base in the Soviet era. The city underwent a siege by the Nazis with their giant rail mounted monster guns. Its silly to pretend this is a design to attack Poland or something.

And now, we are determined to have a war with Russia, or at least an economic war, to stop Russia from being there. At least that’s what all the beating drums are indicating.

Guess ill hoard more .22 long rifle and another sack of rice in case the silly SOBs in charge actually manage to start a world war and an implosion of the dollar.

This is likely propaganda leaked by our own State Department.

Who knows, next they may have Hillary comparing Putin to Hitler...

Judge for yourself. This is the offending paragraph, brought to us by none other than Russia Today. (New Pravda)

“We are not going to a war against the Ukrainian people,” he said. “I want you to understand it unambiguously. If we do take a decision, it would only be to protect Ukrainian citizens. Let anybody in the military dare, and they’d be shooting their own people, who would stand up in front of us. Shoot at women and children. I’d like to see anyone try and order such a thing in Ukraine.”

I went to Russia in 1987. It was an incredible experience, and since then I have told people I should go back to see the difference.

Now it’s looking like what I saw then may be readily available to the new generation.
