trying their hardest to implement economic austerity on Ukraine just like in the EU and US, courtesy of the World Bank and the IMF.

Too bad Russia will give the big middle finger and there is nothing that the fascists and their supporters can do.

The EU and the US are pouting hard right about now. Too bad. They are going to go have to stand in the corner and think about supporting the terrorists that have violently taken over a legitimate government in Ukraine

evil countries like Canada and Japan!

Russia may be able to push Ukraine around, but it's not an economic superpower and is losing diplomatic support outside of its fellow thug regimes in places like Damascus.

Straight Boris and Natasha stuff.

but there is nothing that the US or the EU can do to impose economic terrorism on Ukraine. Russia could simply shut off gas supplies and the EU would change its tune very quickly. As foe the US, what are we going to do, invade ? lol..

Like I said, too bad for the fascists

a few people have been adamant in claiming you don't exist

Or are you saying we should go help our funded resistance with blatant military support in Ukraine?

What strikes me is the blatant war mongering by this country.Did you happen to see Kerry's hilarious statement today that was roundly laughed at here.

Could use some amusement. Deniers are my favorite.

Russia invades Ukraine, and all of a sudden the G-7 countries calling for a diplomatic resolution to the situation are the bad guys.

Fucking priceless.

The US invades Iraq, and all of a sudden the G-7 countries calling for a diplomatic resolution to the situation are the bad guys.

The outright falsehoods and lying are epic

Nothing you say is going to change the fact that Russia has instigated a war of aggression with its neighbor. But keep on defending that all you want.

Obama told us to look forward and move on from that Bush lie that killed over 100,000 Iraqis
I hope Russia puts down the fascists funded by our CIA in Ukraine. Just so you know the propaganda and almost comical propaganda coming out of the US government is being mocked and exposed on a daily basis

I think we're done here.

overload your transistors? or neurons? in which case i would ask for my money back from such weak posts..lol

can you explain por favor?

Russia's invasion of the Ukrainian autonomous region of Crimea and its threats to invade other parts of Ukraine confirm Russia's reputation as unreliable.

In the business world, unreliable suppliers generally find that their customer base dwindles over time.

Pipeline gas is cheap and easy to use, but it is not the only energy source on the planet.

Positively giddy.

They are pro-oligarch. Where have these people been the last twenty years?

But there are some defending the invasion who definitely aren't cavers.

The pro-Russian one.

The G-7 are fascists but Russia isn't? Just what is this definition of fascism you are using?

And make fun of Putin while he's not there.

Also ask China if they're doing anything that week.

As I recall, blood was spilling in not one, but two countries. And they didn't rename it to the G6, either.

A primer on the NATO and G8 summits
Dividing the spoils
By Eric Ruder
Issue #82: Features

"Collectively, the NATO and G8 countries command a massive proportion of the world’s economic resources while wielding sufficient military force to simultaneously pursue multiple wars and occupations. As a result, NATO and the G8 together shape the terrain that every person interested in social justice must contend with. That’s because every dollar that they earmark for bank bailouts and bombing runs is a dollar siphoned away from meeting human needs."

Calling it the G7 now because of one member inserting influence in it's own back yard and interests into Crimea, whose people have actually asked for help against a 'leadership' who've stated their language rights, etc. will be curtailed and are in actual fear, while ignoring other members who've invaded and caused horror yet unabashedly attended with no criticism whatsoever during that same time, seems OTT hypocritical, no?

Sorry, I just don't understand the self-entitled double standards.

Just as I suspected....a complete mess.

The navy and at least the soldiers in the Crimea have mostly defected, with weapons.

to the change of government in Kiev? Clearly they want to control the Ukraine.

Vlad doesn't mind cozying up to fascists to maintain the status quo. In other words, with the east siding with their Russian Masters, along with the navy (have heard from the air force yet) the western part of the country must feel pretty isolated.

Are we no longer a member of Golly Gee Whiz 8?

People here opposed intervention in Iraq, but for some strange reason some of those same people support Russian military intervention in Crimea.

And not all Democrats here are liberal.

of their territorial integrity? If we are not going to hold up our end of the bargain why should they? That way they can defend themselves.
