Cue double-thinking Russians in 1... 2...
What worries me is the mention that America is creating a conflict between Russia and the Ukraine. Oh. Is that to be the excuse if Russia invades that, then?

Actually Chavez said the same today or yesterday (time difference, sorry).
Together with Cuba and Iran they support Russian stance.
BTW Could it be merged with something ? It is maybe the sixth Georgia topic on the front page...

Are there any non-dictatorial states that support the Russian stance? Not surprising.Actually Chavez said the same today or yesterday (time difference, sorry).
Together with Cuba and Iran they support Russian stance.
But I still can't load the page. Tried going to the Times Online homepage, that didn't work either. Strange.

There are a lot of people who loves freedom and yet still support Russian's stance because Russia is right this time.
« There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it.
A politician who portrays himself as 'caring' and 'sensitive' because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't?
And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money - if a gun is held to his head.» - P. J. O'Rourke

It's a well known fact in Ukraine that American dollars go straight into his pocket; would've been better if the poison worked.
What else would you expect from a Ukrainian who's got a CIA agent for a wife?

If the US is responsible then it was a stroke of strategic brilliance. They made money out of it (surprise surprise!), got Poland to accept the missile bases, made Russia look evil (er), and hurt Obama, all at the same time.
Now all they have to do is attack Iran and Obama is screwed.

One could also argue that such an attack would ensure Obama victory by an American people fed up with artifically created fear and the lies and deceit of 8 years of Bush/Cheney.

You see the Ukraine is pretty large and capable of destroying Russia, so they are scared the something will happen with the Ukraine.

What? If there's a war, Ukraine won't be even able hold its territories together - Crimea gone straight away, followed by Donetsk/Eastern Ukraine

Says the Russophile....with "Yay Russia" in his sig.
Quote me where I said Ukraine's army is the best in the world? Neither did i say any of theirs is any better. That's what I thought, I was stating Russia had a hard time in Georgia against a handful of disorganised men, if faced with an Army bigger than theirs which the Ukraine has, then it will not be walk in the park.
