Hit the reset button again and another Blame USA article will appear . . .
...surprised MSNBC hasn’t picked this guy up...
But, but, but ... The One won a Nobel Peace Prize.
He strikes me as sensible. I am of the view his solution has merit - if the West recognizes Russia has interests in Ukraine and any political solution protects all Ukrainians, ensures equal rights for them and entrenches real autonomy for both Ukrainian and Russian speaking people in the country and guarantees Russia a guardian role there.
Forcing Russia to capitulate will never work. No Russian will accept the decadent West and its corrosive liberal values that eat away like acid at traditional society. I side with Putin on this. I am convinced in the long run only conservative values will guarantee human happiness and prosperity. Russia is hated because it stands up for them and won’t entertain nonsense like gay marriage, wealth redistribution and climate change parroted in the West.
I see far more propaganda from our MSM than I do in this article.
One thing is for certain, the Putin Regime has far better rhetoricians than the Obama Regime.
This might force us to reduce the current level of arms we are supplying to the Mexican drug cartels and Islamic terrorist organizations.
Sure, that's the right answer.
But I don't think that's what they mean.
Putin then decided to snatch parts of Ukraine so he could play the "I'm a strong man card." This crisis is a wholly owned Putin production.
What type of conservative values does Putin truly represent? Putin’s Christianity is as sincere as Obama’s was when he sat in the Reverend Wright’s church. Putin could stop abortion in Russia tomorrow. He has that much power. He won’t. At best he represents the traditionalism and conservatism of a benign autocrat, a Czar in a suit. His is the conservatism of a chauvinist. At worst he represents a former KGB Colonel out to restore the Soviet Empire while allowing no freedom at home. He’s not like Franco; he’s showing himself to be an expansionist. He’s provides advanced weapons to Iran and Syria; he has provided weapons that would endanger Israel. So the idea that Putin is a member of the Edmund Burke club is absurd.
This is the money comment:
If Washington wins this geopolitical Cold War, it will install a pro-Western government in Moscow which could lead to the breakup of Russia. Siberia, the Caucasus and the Far East will demand autonomy, and the country’s oil and gas resources will be transferred from the government to multinational corporations.
Would that it were a possibility. Maybe if we had another Reagan.
Yeah, I thought the last paragraph of the article sounded fine.
Until I started wondering what the writer means by a “neutral state”. I don’t think that means like Switzerland.
Propaganda it is.
Ukraine woukd be fighting WWIII alone like the British against Hitler. Calling it cold war is stupid.
Not sure what the whole charade is at this point
I think it’s written for Russian domestic consumption. It’s sad that some Russians probably believe it.
Hey, why don’t you just paste shirtless Putin on a pony ?
“Russia is bothering Ukraine for basically one reason. That is because Putin decided to do so.”
So, all those months of civil unrest are just in our imaginations???
If Putin was interested in what the west thought he would invite Jimmah Carter to rubber stamp the Crimean election.
Jimmah always validates commies and he would put the veneer of, “legitimacy” on the reemergence of socialist doctrine.
With Obama in charge, he simply doesn’t care enough to even bother.
