Russia sending aid convoy to Ukraine despite Western warnings of invasion pretext
REUTERS ^ | Aug 11, 2014 | Adrian Croft and Sergei Karpukhin

Posted on 08/11/2014 11:02:34 AM PDT by McGruff

President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Russia is sending an aid convoy to eastern Ukraine despite urgent Western warnings against using humanitarian help as a pretext for an invasion.

With Ukraine reporting Russia has massed 45,000 troops on its border, NATO said there was a "high probability" that Moscow could intervene militarily in the country's east, where Kiev forces are closing in on pro-Russian separatists.

And I am suspect for calling you out on it?

Your rationality is suspect for dismissing defense of Ukraine as part of the "propaganda," sitting on the fence, and yet, getting so passionate to defend a worthless Putinista. Quit bothering me with your whining. There are seriously more important things to be worried about.

We do need some clarification on what’s allowed here. This thread is a good example (or should I say a bad example).

I think I was probably misunderstood somewhere, brother. But I still hate to use the sarcasm tag as I feel it ruins the joke.

No, it is not “ME” who points out the subhuman putinistas, but the putinistas themselves. They admit to loving Putin, but don’t let that stop you from whining about my posting style.

Someone in other forum has identified it as a CLAM SHELL radar for S-300 able to detect 300 simultaneous low altitude targets with a range of 75 miles.

You're right. You're not Pro-Russian, you're Pro-Putinist/Neo-Stalinism. But you aren't "anti-Ukrainian junta," since there isn't such a thing. It is an invention of Russian propaganda. You're just anti-American and anti-Conservative and anti-truth, and I hope you burn in hell too.

I’m more worried about ISIS than Putin. You seem only interested in Ukraine. Why don’t you go fight for your homeland. We got enough of our own problems.

Could you spell that out. This once was a pretty classy site. What happened.

Have you weighed in on the discussion?

For the record, I think Russia should be our friend and ally, they have earned it. Dumping communism, pro family, pro western values etc.

We have foul mouth 'debaters' turning this site into a toilet, and you condone it?

My hat is off to McGruff and trlaf, for their trying to bring reasonable discussion back to FR.

This is a pro-American website for patriotic conservatives. It’s not a website for promoting the interests of our Russian enemies who arm and prop up communist and terrorist regimes all around the world from the Ayatollahs to Kim-Jong Un.

What irritates me is these newbies kick down the door and offer their offensive verbal assaults to anyone who doesn't see the world their way.

And they attack Freepers who have been members in good standing for over a decade.

I can only believe Jim doesn't hae time to address it right now 'cause I know in the old days (and from personal experience) he has put this stuf right, and right quick.

In this case, they contend Ukraine is pure as the driven snow and Russia is doing the devil's bidding here on earth. Anyone who disputes the black/white characterization is lambasted with vitriol.

Maybe you’d feel more comfortable posting at one of those websites where they bitch and complain about how FR isn’t run like they think it should be.

Dumping communism

Putin runs a Stalinist police state where people are abducted and jailed, if they're lucky, tortured and killed, if they're not, with no real freedom of speech. Furthermore, the "Christians" sit around and call themselves "Red Orthodox" and "National Bolsheviks." This is not Christianity. It is simply strategy.

pro family

Young looking Russian recruits in their military are routinely raped by their senior officers, pimped out on the streets, and all this is protected by the regime. And that's not even the worst part of what goes on in Russia.

pro western values etc.

Putin is building his own Islamic state in Chechnya where his puppets there deliver him 99 percent of the vote in Soviet style elections while forcing little girls to wear Burkhas. Putin is also aiding Iran with their nuclear program, and his state run propaganda machine is badmouthing Israel over Gaza.

We have foul mouth 'debaters' turning this site into a toilet, and you condone it?

What's really disgusting is your ignorance and willingness to fall for stupid Russian propaganda aimed to neutralize the normally anti-Communist conservative movement. The PaulBots and other freaks who encourage us to "mind our own business" or look the other way need to be identified and exposed.

Maybe you haven’t been in these threads and just don’t know the history of it. These notorious Putinistas have earned the disrespect they are getting after their hundreds of posts full of lies, disinformation and Russian propaganda. Can’t give benefit of doubt any more as those who are following the situation have no doubt about what their true agenda is.
