Can we get back to something real here?

Russians are saying they have NOT issued an ultimatum about Ukranian navy

Do you believe everything you read on the Internet??

Only if it comes from the Politburo.

I think America is under estimating Russia's abilities.
They were awarded the Olympics, then told they had to spend billions to spruce up the place. The Russians said sure, no problem. The West then planed the Ukrane uprising, to coincide with the Olympics. They figured Putin would be too preoccupied with the ceremonies to worry about the Ukrane. But I don't think they planned on those damn pesky Gays, to pester and aggravate Putin while the fix was in the works.

Putin is under attack from all sides, he has the gay coalition screaming in one ear, and then the Ukrane revolting, wanting to be European in the other. All the while the Olympics are going on, he has the Cutlas wavers threatening a terrorist attack on his athletic prom. Then He has the west, cheering the whole thing on, while telling Putin we're watching you, we know you're broke from spending billions on Sochi, and didn't get the attendance because to the Olympics were way down from the terrorist threats, and that whole America still don't trust the Russians thing.

But for those who have been paying attention, Putins Ace behind his ear, is the fact, that he didn't actually build a 80 billion dollar Olympic village, he only built a set prop. And probably still has enough money and resources, to flex his muscles, and put his house back in order.

Don't under estimate a shirtless man with a flashlight in the middle of the night.

So far it was Obama trying to install a friendly gov in Russia's backyard.
It wasn't the manly Putin trying to install a puppet regime in Mexico.

It is quite funny to see the US and UK criticize the 'illegal' invasion of a sovereign country.

Isn't that exactly what they did in Iraq?

t is on Haaretz. They should know smart ass.

So give me a link. I'll be waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

bgamall4 says

See Bob, that is what happens when you trust mainstream American news. You will look like a fool, often.

You're the fool who can't come up with the number or names. Still waiting.

Those people are nuts out there, at least out here in US we found a way to make Nazi party go bankrupt before they got out of control.

Nazis are some scary people.

66% of workers have saved less than $50,000 for their retirement. And 28% have saved less than $1,00

Free market success story. I'm sure all those government connected top 1%ers earned their billions fair and square.

Yeah we lost a lot of credibility on the topic as a nation.

Um, no. For one, they had UNSC resolution authorizing the invasion. Hello!

How many of you guys know that the Russian Oligarchs, or many of them had duel citizenship in Israel, just like our neocons.

Why don't you tell us exactly how many Russian Oligarchs(?) and neocons have Israeli passports and who they are. I'll still be waiting when the next extinction happens.

Start here, shithead.

Fuck you very much, you little Putin's bitch.

They had Resolution 1441. Iraq failed to comply and got "serious consequences", as promised. Russia has nothing at all. Zero, zilch, nada.

Straw Man says

Dude, is having a UN resolution that was based on a bunch of lies and fabrications better than nothing? I'd say it is WORSE than nothing, because it shows the coalition really had nothing of significance in the first place.

Straw Man says

They had Resolution 1441.

At the time it was signed, France and Russia specifically said this resolution didn't authorize the use of force.

The best "legal" argument (more like a legal rationalization) the US had was that the previous war never ended.

Has Russia created an Abu Ghraib in the Ukraine? No.

Has Russia killed 100,000 women and children in the invasion of Crimea? No.

Has Putin callously laughed at the bogus rationale for invading the Crimea and killing thousands? No.

PBS Newshour finally got their act together and found someone that would provide a more balanced view of the Ukraine crisis.

He is Prof Stephen Cohen of NYU and Prinecton. Here is the video:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/debating-moscows-military-moves-crimea/

Cohen starts at about time 4:53. Before that time, the warmongering point of view is presented by Michael McFaul, former Ambassador to Russia and now, it appears from the background, at Stanford U. Cohen really schooled anchorwoman Gwen Ifill, who seemed either angry, embarassed or both at the end.

Cohen makes many good points, not the least of which is that current US policy does not acknowledge Russia any legitimate security interest EVEN AT ITS OWN BORDERS. It's like telling the US that a revolution in Canada and Mexico is none of the USs business. Can you imagine Washington accepting that? I cannot.

Personally, I might add that the US certainly has taken the stance that the revolution on Cuba very much was our business. Anyway, watch the video. The Cohen part is good stuff.

Diagnosis: Obama is afraid to look weak, and Kerry has become a blithering warmongering idiot. I say, enough with the evil and moronic double standards, where we, the US, can do whatever we want, "because we are the good guys". As has been proven over and over again since 1945, we are NOT the good guys.

I looked the first 6 people on your list with "dual citizenship". All were born, raised, and educated in the US. None never worked outside of the US. None were listed as having Israeli citizenship, not that they could get it without living in Israel. You are as big an idiot as bgmal. If I set up a web page saying martians had landed in mid town LA I guess that would make it true. After all if there's a web page then it's proven.

I've always wondered, is it hard walking around with your head up your ass? How do you avoid bumping into people?

Trying to embed the video I referred to, two posts above this one.

Well. that didn't work. Anyone know how to do it?

Heraclitusstudent says

So we will send Hans Brix and a strongly worded letter?

Wikipedia shows different numbers than your article. As in much higher % Ukrainians living in the Ukraine, except in Crimea.

They won't. Dollar is a world reserve currency, Euro isn't

bgamall4 says

Even though NeoNazis share power in the Ukraine, now. We are giving a billion dollars in aid to NeoNazis.

SO much for our "Founding Principles" right?

It's not Putin envy, it's embarrassing, we have to keep reminding our selves. That HE'S the commie.

The online right wingers are having a regular Putinanny right now. In some quarters, a Putin Bromance is not strong enough to describe what I'm seeing.

I am not talking about Jews. I am talking about Zionists. Zionism is not a race. You continue to be an idiot in the way that you think.

We see through your racists code word shenanigans Jew hater.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk is a Zionist. His parents are Jewish,

Then why mention his parents are Jewish? Lying scumbag racists loony.

Allowing the government to negotiate with healthcare providers will LOWER federal spending and in turn LOWER our deficit.

That has never worked and never will. This is crony capitalism at its finest and will either increase costs or begin rationing or both. This is economics 101. jojo says

Removing this will work to DELEVERAGE our economy:

'President Bill Clinton signed into law the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997'

Apparently we should just abandon private property from the country?
The very reason this country has prospered over communist countries is private property.

And we need to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Legislation

Glass Steagall would have done nothing to prevent the meltdown because it did not regulate derivatives.

The elegant answer would have been not to bail out the banks. Ok course this would have inconvenienced Buffet, Immelt, GS, MS, GM, GE, and others but so fucking what?

Ivy league education huh? No you got Ivy league schooling.

I recommend that you read David Stockman's book The Great Deformation and Thomas Sowell's book Basic Economics and take a course in basic logic.

You keep saying that but you're still wrong. Read up on Glass Steagall and learn what it DID regulate and why that would have gone a long way towards preventing the bubble and subsequent collapse.

lol--so fucking what?? Are you kidding me?? Here's a pro tip for you. You would most likely be unemployed too. Would you care at that point?

Why is there such a large number of liars in real estate? What attracts them to the profession? Is it the profession that attracts the unscrupulous, or does being part of the National Real Estate Association change their morals? It seems to me that the association acts a little like a cult, so is it unfair to assume some are mislead, just like members of a cult? There seems to be a lot of the same symptoms of cult manipulation in many real estate professionals I know. My own cousin is starting to show signs.

Price. Ridiculously high prices no matter now normal someone claims them to be. Prices are so extreme I can't imagine why anyone would be interested in buying until the housing market goes way down. If it doesn't go down for a long time? Oh well, then intelligent people will not be interested for a long time. It's really rather simple.
