Russian minister's advice to US over Crimea: do yoga and chill out
Guardian ^ | 04/03/2014 | Shaun Walker

A top Russian official has accused the US of "childish tantrums" in its response to the annexation of Crimea, and suggested that American politicians practise yoga and watch sitcoms to help chill out.

"Clearly, the US leadership is really annoyed, and cannot come to terms with the new situation, which has arisen in large part due to the deliberate line taken by the US and its allies in Europe to prepare anti-Russian forces to take power in Ukraine," said deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, in an interview with Interfax.

"Trying to demonstrate how unhappy it is with the exercise of free will by the population of Crimea and the decisions we took related to it, Washington is ruining contacts even in places where continuing dialogue is in their own interests.

I’ve heard that line before. Especially applied to Iran’s ecclesiocracy.

I know what the lefties in DC are doing and I don’t agree with it one whit. Christians are the biggest victims there in Syria; I often suspect that such is the real reason for the current mess occurring there and whether or not Assad, al-Qa’eda and the other alleged combatants are not colluding to that end.

Yet those brave members of Parliament returned to impeach Yanukovych by a vote of 328-0 (half of them mistakenly voting the wrong way, apparently).

The overthrow was a done deal two days before that when the rump parliament (only 238 of the 450 members were present) "voted" to ban the police or military from taking action against the insurrectionists, leaving the legal government personnel totally defenseless against the firebomb throwing mob. The overthrow was a fait accompli after that.

The non-opposition members who voted to illegally remove the President (it was still only 328 members of the 450 total) were more worried about saving their own necks from the firebomb mob that surrounded the parliament than the future of their country.

Yanukovych ditched his country’s agreement with the EU in favor of reactionary globalist Putin’s plan for a free trade agreement and closer ties.

Putin is a Globalist????? That is some Alinsky style word games right there.

Putin and his possie can mock us all they want. This too shall pass, and in the end Russia will remain a Sh!t hole and continue its 1000 year history of misery. And by that history, his most likely end will be a 9x13 to the head and or a rope hung from a lamp post.

The only question is how many he kills in the process.
