Don’t watch RT. Is is pure Russian propaganda. Yeah, I know that the other side has propaganda too.

That’s not exactly a surprise. What would be a surprise is if the Tatars knuckle under. The Crimea was easy pickings for Putin. We’re no where near the end game though.

Which side are you on?

What ever side George Soros, John McCain, Bathhouse Barry, Susan Rice, and the sodomite EU is on I am on the opposite side by default.

The average Serb would, by default, side with Russia. No real surprise here. Whereas the average Croat or Slovene might side with the US.

If our economy collapsed, and China landed their entire force in California, with planes and helicopters patrolling over major cities in the western half of the country, what do you think would happen?

Obama will offer those who flee the Ukrainian Army unemployment benefits so they stay on the right side which is what ever Obama says....just ask Morsi how it works.

"Crimeans began protesting after the new self-imposed government in Kiev introduced a law abolishing the use of other languages for official documents in Ukraine. "

How awful. Ukrainians want their official documents written in Ukrainian? Unfreakinbelievable! what are they thinking?!!

Ukrainian armed forces dispatched to Crimea have switched to the side of local authorities and are expected to take military oath soon, Russian news agencies report.

Which replaces their earlier oath.

False propaganda. Some Ukranian forces have been holding out in the Crimea as long as possible to avoid capitulating before it becomes necessary to do so.

The Ukraine had a huge army. They saved some bucks and pretty much got rid of it. Now they want US to defend them?? After they provoke a coup?? Go to hell.

There were many Russian speakers living in Ukraine - where, furthermore, Russian had been the official language for some time - and attacking them immediately lost their loyalty. It was a stupid, typically nationalist gesture that then gave Russia the chance to say that they were protecting the rights of Russians.
