Crimea debacle? You should go read GlobalResearch.ca, CounterPunch.org, WSWS.org ETC – non-MSM news outlets to get the other side of the picture.
Crimea is a very strategic area to get hold of which NATO wants to break into Russia through color revolutions ETC just because Putin refused to be US dog.
When Ukraine democratic government was forcefully overthrown by a US-backed Nazi military coup what choice Russia had? Just imagine how US would respond if China or Russia back coup takes place in Mexico or Canada?
Why pivot to Asia, why redrawing Middle East, dividing Iraq into three small states? Supporting rebels against Serian government while helping Saudi dictatership to kill Yemen civilions just to suppress another rebels. All sugarcoded IN the name of democracy and freedom? which even US is failing to provide to its citizens.
We're listening about China aggression, Russian aggression, while US is at war in almost the whole world directly or through proxies.
US has accumulated enough bad karma to insure its decline, those who don't remember history are bound to repeat it. This war game and greed for hegemony by bullet at all cost has happened countless times in the past and has always resulted in complete destruction of empires and civilizations sooner or later.
But public is sleeping as always, only with a vein optimism that "this won't happen to us, we're unique in the human history!" You're not unique, you're just a spec of dust in the cosmos which has eternal law of upholding justice. It's just that it comes at the right time when the bucket is full.

- gonvaled 11y agoI think he is referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych Yanukovych was democratically elected and overthrown by popular protests (backed by the EU / US?).

- blumkvist 11y agoThat site is your source of truth? WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sad life.
- tptacek 11y agoYou have to do better than this. I know enough about the Ukraine situation to automatically be skeptical of any story valorizing Russia's involvement. But I have no idea what "GlobalResearch" is. Which, to me and, I think, most HN readers, makes your comment a smirking personal attack rather than a contribution to the conversation. Next time, buy some room for your outraged response with a couple sentences of explanation.
- DanBC 11y agoI found this about GlobalResearch: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Globalresearch.ca http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Globalresearch.ca > While many of Globalresearch's articles discuss legitimate humanitarian or environmental concerns, the site has a strong undercurrent of reality warping throughout its pages, especially in relation to taking its news from sources such as Russia Today RT[2] and Press TV.[3] Its view of science, the economy and geopolitics seems to be broadly conspiracist. > Whenever someone makes a remarkable claim and cites Globalresearch, they are almost certainly wrong. I agree about the low quality of blumkvist's reply.
- tptacek 11y agoYep! This context is more than enough. It's not that you have to prove it, you just have to spell out what your claim is, rather than indignantly implying that everyone else should grok it.
- drzaiusapelord 11y ago>was forcefully overthrown by a US-backed Nazi military coup The ignorance here is mindblowing. Russians live in a perpetual conspiracy theory it seems. Autocratic states are known for their information control and propaganda it seems even when historically controlled media has been highly inaccurate, yet somehow the populace keeps buying into statements from state controlled media. I guess the state knows how to deliver information by exploiting both ignorance and patriotism. Two things Russia has high supplies of.
- kr4 11y agoI'm not Russian, I just don't buy into MSM propaganda. Let me give you simple fact which you can search for. during dissolution of USSR, it was agreed between West and Russia that NATO wouldn't expand into Eastern Europe but look at now, NATO is in most of Easten Europe and with Ukraine under control, it comes right on Russia's border. You say autocratic, what democratic government example you can give me in the world. Don't say US, it's just oligarchy bipartisan system where only those who comply with the elite interests reach at the helm and by chance if a true patriotic reaches there and wants to assert US people's true interests, he'd be brutely killed as it was with JFK [0]. 0]: http://www.globalresearch.ca/jfk-and-the-unspeakable-why-he-died-and-why-it-matters/16273 http://www.globalresearch.ca/jfk-and-the-unspeakable-why-he-...
