“”“ Last month, Ukraine’s parliamentarians voted to give themselves a 70% salary increase”””

Is this the pay raise story from 29 thousand hryvnias to almost 50 thousand hryvnias?

“At least you didn’t blame us Israelis. We’re good at that stuff, too.

And stock full of Russian Jews who would make great infiltration units.”

One of my Kibbutz Dads was a former commando Yam.

Anyway, here’s an interesting interview I hope you watch:

In 2004 even the pumpkins were voting for Bush

The difference between you and other Bush voters is that you carved Bush pumpkins, displayed them and then, because you were so proud, posted a vanity complete with pictures. This shows you to be a man so enthralled with our political elite & their endless war policies that you're reduced to the level of a Jr HS girl.

Do you have a not Russian source for this line? NOT THE RUSSIAN LINKS IN THE ARTICLE. This should be big news.

Yeah I followed the only and the only source for this is a Russian site.

The specific site linked by Gray Zone is Obozrevatel, which is a Ukrainian news publication.

Their specific reporting on the pay raise initially can be read here (just do a machine translation to English).

As for why it's not being reported on by other countries...why would it be "big news"? Politicians voting to give themselves more money isn't exactly 'newsworthy'. Would you expect the Guardian, RT, or Der Spiegel to report on the times the US Congress votes to give themselves more money?

You are not nearly as smart as you think you are, which is typical for Russians.

I was actually working against John Kerry, who is an anti-American leftist fool. You are working for Putin, who is also an anti-American leftist.
