West showing hypocrisy on Crimea

[iolo]

Are you guys ramping up to declare the EU dead again this summer?

The Euro is gone.... Federalism in Europe is in decline...

The entire system will fail... All that bullshit you have declared for the last five or so years?

I shouldn't bet on it, unless you are rich enough to be high in the Republican Party and beyond sense.

Thanks. Yeah, passing out donuts is a bit different than actual involvment on Putin's scale. I think he's over reacting, but then again he has always been known to be full of himself. The referendum on Monday (Sunday was it?) will be interesting in that the real influence is going to get going then no matter which way it falls. The troubling thing for US though is the the pro Russia crowds are bigger and far more active than the pro western crowds and CBS as saying this morning that it is believed that Crimea is gone.

The Crimea was in Russia before Khrushev handed it over, when it didn't matter. The important thing is to fight for the rights of minorities there.

Right; the Russians have been fighting over that territory since the 19th century. Russia is complainging that Russian nationls are in some sort of danger there and hence they need protection from the Russian army . . . I'm with you, but so far there doesn't seem to be any rights violations.

That's not all we did, it's just the first article I could post from my phone.
