Hey, eastie, news for you. You're no socialist, you're a pro-ruling class lickspittle and an imperialist running dog. And Russia is not a communist country.Originally Posted by eastgermanautos
Look, I'm happy to be wrong. Being wrong is not the opposite of being right, more like parallel. But I had understood that he was league with Yanukovich, the corrupt Ukrainean puppet leader being backed by the Russians. The guy who was driven from his country, then fled to Russia. So that's not good. The only way that's good is if you secretly like Russia (or not so secretly) and want them to do well, with US abetting that process. From where I come in, the annexation of Crimea was some anti-democratic BS and I don't approve. Just like what they did in Georgia, etc. Give the Russk an inch and they take a verst. Right?
I'm the one supposed to be the socialist here and here I find you all are a bunch of commie-loving so and sos. What's going on?
That guy who you describe as being 'driven from his country' was a democratically elected leader overthrown by a fascist coup sponsored by Obama. The new leaders in Ukraine are even more corrupt and the country is worse off than it was under Yanukovich. Except you wouldn't know that because they never tell you that on CNN, WaPo, NYT, Guardian etc.
Over 95% of Crimean people voted to leave Ukraine in a referendum after the neo-Nazis took over in Kiev, and Crimea had been Russian since Catherine the Great, until it was attached to Ukraine by the pro-Ukrainian USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev in 1954, somewhat unconstitutionally, as a "symbolic gesture".
And you call the annexation 'anti-democratic BS' while supporting the fascist coup that precipitated it?
