    Sure what has Putin to do with it?

    The anti aircraft missile system came across the Russian border and went back across the following day. Is that enough for you? He supplies the weapons and most of the men too.

    It's like an adult giving a loaded gun to a child and when the child kills a few people, saying "nothing to do with me".

    He is sh*te at it. He keeps using the Chronosphere to go back in time and try again.

    I heard he was the voice of Tanya in the Command and Conquer games.

    Well, you can have your opinion but for myself, I don´t trust Putin and I regard him as one of those people who pull the strings behind the scenes to achieve their aim. He´s rather cunning in using the pro-Russian sentiments and he does support them whether he admits it or not is just a matter of bringing up any evidence that he does. Without the backing of Putin, the separatists might have lost the plot already last year.

    I say this apart from the media spin. To me he´s nothing but a small imperialist who would like the see the USSR rise again, better sooner than later. It´s got probably not so much to do with a revival of Communism, it´s got more to do with power and bringing Russia back to the level as a world power with him at the top of it.

    The evidence is Overwhelming, the western governments are only looking after the wellbeing of their citizens by not showing it to them as it would only Overwhelm them, and nobody wants to be responsible for that.

    What about Crimea? They did kinda invade and take it over.

    FFS, as part of the Minsk agreement, the pro Russian fighters agreed to pull back an ultra modern multiple rocket launcher

    We have been told Russia army is no match for NATO, Russia weapons old and not very good, so are you telling us NATO is arming the pro Russian Fighters with ultra modern multiple rocket launchers?

    You might as well say that you´d admire Mao and all the other mass killers because they were "strong men who made their country strong again".

    His steadfast resolve in the face of a proxy war being waged in Ukraine has to be admired, a war that would never have happened if billions weren't poured into Ukraine to kickstart a coup.
    I arrived back into Dublin from Kiev late Tuesday night, one year almost to the minute since I arrived back from seeing the Maidan protest first-hand, as well as its descent into mayhem.

    In the offchance you're not trolling - and in the happy chance that you get a chance to visit that beautiful city (and fares are very cheap just now) - I suggest you try to avoid saying anything like that to anybody there.

    People in Kiev take a dim view indeed of having their country invaded, their citizens murdered and their country cut to pieces by the maniac you appear to admire.

    He has to be one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known, not just a stuffed suit like his wooden American counterpart.

    Yeah, a great leader in the mould of Genghis Khan, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot. Yes, his steadfast resolve to use the power of a state to eliminate and kill personal opponents is to be greatly admired.

    Oh, Ukraine, the place where elections aren't rigged in the favour of pro-Russian candidates, pro-western candidates aren't poisoned and pro-western former leaders aren't thrown in jail on trumped-up charges and where you get a 123% voter turnout in Crimea in a referendum advocating joining Russia.

    Perhaps if you ask nicely, dear Vlad would let you lick the testosterone laden sweat from his admirable hairy armpit.

    America and CIA have spent decades creating instability in nations and with leaders that do not play ball.
    They reckon as many as 2 million civilians died in the vietnam war alone.

    And veiled threats too. A lot of Russians seemed to be stuck in a 1950s timewarp when their country was actually taken seriously.

    My own view is Russia is beginning to crumble and the leaders are trying to distract the people.

    I'd imagine the USSR would be near the top. How far back should we go? Do internal purges, organised famines, etc count?

    Do you want to know how many million civilians died in soviet union from WWII until 1990? 20 million and that is much much more than in Vietnam war. 20 million is only acknowledged number, so many people went missing and never found so actual number is higher. No one is saying America is good but painting Russia as something good is just pathetic.

    Read what I said!

    The fact that over 5 million starved in Russia in the second world war is of no interest to me.

    I am saying one nation going into another nation and killing wholesale!

    Do you want to know how many million civilians died in soviet union from WWII until 1990? 20 million and that is much much more than in Vietnam war. 20 million is only acknowledged number, so many people went missing and never found so actual number is higher. No one is saying America is good but painting Russia as something good is just pathetic.

    Again read what I said.

    Also a nation starving its people is madness but I am talking about nations like US or Briatain going into other countries and essentially wiping them out!

    It's hard to know what to believe when it comes to Putin, because I don't know how much I'm being influenced by western propaganda.

    I would need to do a bit of actual research to come to a conclusion on this one.

    Read what I said!

    The fact that over 5 million starved in Russia in the second world war is of no interest to me.

    I am saying one nation going into another nation and killing wholesale!

    Ah grand, do you mean the almost ten million Ukranians in the 1930s by the way, nothing to do with WW2, everything to do with Russian policies of collectivisation and theft.

    As for going into another nation and killing wholesale, I take it you have convienently forgotten about Russia invading Afghanistan. I will dig out the number of deaths in a minute but I think it was somewhere in the order of 1.5 million.

    But hey it wasn't America who caused those deaths so you don't care, right? You only care about deaths caused by America.

    She used to live in the Netherlands. And do you know the reason she left?

    I'm sure you do, you're Russian after all!

    Just curious what people think since so much is being said about Russian misinformation.

    Do you believe that the western media is inherently more truthful than non western media and do you believe that western mainstream media are a reliable source for matters where the west has a vested interest?

    Do you believe that free speech truly exists in the west?

    Ha Ha...of course, what your kind does to other doesn't count. Only what Americans do count. So typical. Rewriting World History to erase all Russian crimes is also known trick of your comrades. :D

    Citing your words - One nation going into another and killing wholesale - yes, thats what Russians did to Ukraine, yes, that's what Russians did to Baltics, Poland, Finland, and many more.

    I remember when after collapse of soviet union, Russia grabbed all the lands, resources weapons and then the argument was - We are the only inheritor of everything Soviet Union owned. later when Russia was called to take responsibility for all war crimes and repressions, purge against humanity the answer was - It's not us, it was Soviet union. :D
