WASHINGTON -- Fed up with the Russian government’s false claims early in the Ukraine crisis, the State Department issued an unusual, point-by-point takedown along with a cheeky note that said not since 19th-century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky had the world seen such “startling Russian fiction.”
The jab didn’t seem to hurt in Moscow. A pro-Kremlin newspaper columnist mocked the Obama administration’s “excellent knowledge of Russian literature.” And an undeterred President Vladimir Putin spent the next several weeks polishing his narrative of a strong Russia standing up to Western imperialism in order to protect a vulnerable ethnic Russian population from an illegitimate, Nazi-infiltrated new Ukrainian leadership.
In retaliation, the State Department fired off a second literary-themed fact sheet: “Russian Fiction the Sequel: 10 More False Claims about Ukraine.”

“There just isn’t any evidence of similar actions by Ukrainians in the street.”
LOL...
I just posted one 5 minutes ago.
No, that’s not from the street battle. You posted the fat guy from Trade Union building. Another Putinsta pinged me that early today. That and the disgusting snuff videos/pics is all I’ve seen from you guys.
Quote-””while others throw Molotovs at the building
BULL— From police report;The terrorists in the building
were throwing firebombs from the roof and accidently
started the fire. There is justice sometimes.
You remark about y-tube use in countries, what one do
you represent. The troll group out of kremlin,
the troll group out of St Pete or one of the other 18
putin pays a salary to...Ed
BTW, the journalist who took that pic of that unlawful combatant Russian national was kidnapped an hour later in Eastern Ukraine last week.
Ed, food for thought:
Would you want America to join a situation like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_long-term_solutions_for_the_European_sovereign-debt_crisis
Note that under EU agreements, the European Commission has a lot of latitude to force things on member nations.
Imagine just giving up the national sovereignty of America, so Congress would forced to pass laws by a foreign body.
Not in favor of that although we have a government
that has went foreign on its duties and treatment of
our own country.
We should just help Ukraine get free of Russia
and trade and deal with EU and join if
they want.I know alot are afraid of austerity measures
by EU. But you know if EU sent the commie, pinko,
greens home to putin(or jailed them) open up enrgy production, Dropping prices like a rock the place would
boom and people could afford to live.Needs to
happen here in US also.
Ukraine has only a quarter the GDP per person than
Greece, but still is a better place. Why, they produce
stuff reasonable costs. Open energy, deflate costs,
the whole place booms, and the russian oligarchs
so broke they couldn’t raid a henhouse..Ed
!
Quote-I wonder if our resident Putinistas will dispute his nationality.. Yes he was in Crimea, Georgia,been around..
That bastard and about 1000 of his bunch need to be
practice for the 585 HE with 650 gr at 3000 fps.
250 page thread on our gun nut AR forums.political, with a poster with EU net contacts, showing all, all the crap
russians are doing, and all the nice things about
Ukraine and also its problems they are trying to solve.Ed
Also interesting is Maiden protesters have admitted this when they tried explaining that Yes, they were throwing cocktails into the Trade Center but then they said they helped the people after....Which of course we have videos of them making the burn victims crawl on the ground and kicking them.
BTW while the building was on fire there are photos of the Maidan thugs with their guns pulled and firing at the people attempting to escape as they hung out the windows.

This is not the Cold War, this is a Cold Brawl between Putin thugs and Obama’s feelings mafya.
Sadly, with Urkle in charge we will lose this war. Mr. Undecision.
