that kind of editorializing and hyperbole is propaganda in itself. I don't know why people accept any propaganda no matter where it comes from.

What's your opinion of this article? Maybe I took it the wrong way.

I mean, the Putin fan club hasn't quite gone the full PNAC in their swooning yet

that aren't spoon fed to them by Russia's state-owned media

actual journalism and competition that nevertheless makes its way into consumption. And it does wind up criticizing the government.

As opposed to Russia, where journalists get thrown in jail for badmouthing Big Brother.

Scary, isn't it. The Russians seems to have taken a more advanced propaganda class or something.

Name names

whom he suspects of being a "Neo-Nazi sympathizer."

No way.

Fortunately people can still think what they want ...and ...even relative to the news sources they consider to be valid ...or not.

you suspect is in this thread, as well as providing your evidence that this person is a "neo-nazi supporter?"

Because if you don't, well, that looks rather weak.

And it was my first message in this tread so I didn't think you were talking about me.

That's great that they can think what they want, but if there are neo-nazis on DU they need to be removed. You have clearly discovered them. Be brave and name names.

so brazen and dishonest it would make Dick Cheney blush.

Neo-Nazi supporters in this very thread.

Not in the Ukraine.

In this thread.

If you suspect someone is a Neo-Nazi supporter, you should report their account to Skinner and EarlG, and have the courage to call them out as such, or you should keep such sleazy innuendo to yourself.

out of nostalgia for their beloved USSR

I mean, there are people who quote propaganda from Pravda, without irony.

And, note to the jury, I am NOT accusing anyone in this thread of this.

Don't forget the strawmen.

or we're with the terrorists.

Of course, the US does NOT support the skinheads, and furthermore your claim that they have my "approval" is equally false.

There are probably that kind of element on both sides, but to act as if this is entirely what this is all about is garbage that the feeble minded, like Kos, live for.

So it is very difficult for me to see Russia as being motivated by human rights concerns because they have been oppressing their own people and defending those actions loudly. If you want to sell a government as being heroes of human rights, you should get them to cease pogrom like laws and behaviors against minority groups for a few months in advance of the sales pitch. 'Yes we pass laws against our own minorities, threaten them, beat them and jail them, but at the same time we are offended when a small faction in a neighboring country speaks equally venomous rhetoric' just sounds stupid, frankly. 'We will drop the clubs we use against the gays and turn them on the bigots in Ukraine!!!!'

Yes it seems to be a pick choose deal ...attack the anti LGBT element or Nazis or Russianistas or racists and bigots. Way to much to handle all at the same time ...and then there is the priorities. What other countries can we put on the list to attack for their human rights violations. I suppose it would be what ever is in the national security (corporate) interests. I don't think they really give a damn about human rights ...and of course hypocritically we have a bad history over human rights.

Presumably they didn't like the terms. Did they tell Yanukovich to flee, and aid him, so that they could claim the new government was illegitimate?

Surely Kerry can follow suit.

Guess who is currently supplying Europe the lion's share of fossil fuels?



Who could sanction whom?

Come on guys, can we maybe find some sources that AREN'T Russian state news agencies? These are about as credible as RFE/RL.
