that wasn't one sided at all

gotta love RT and its government money... I see its being used well!

btw, the only reason China and India are showing ANY support for Russia is because they have land/border disputes of their own theyd like to resolve with an occupation.


Oh, and I totally support crimeas right to break away if to so chooses (altho itd be nice if not under an occupation at the time).


this has all really been kinda amusing to me ... corrupt people fighting against corrupt people. good times.

One interesting observation - the host seems to think some sort of partition is coming, with the US/EU getting the "rump" part of Ukraine...(20:10 or so)

I can't believe anyone would root for the FOX news of the Kremlin or applaud this carefully controlled propaganda. This is a sad day for the world

for Chernivtsi, Khotyn or Lutsk? Is Turkey going back into military ship building once they get a leader who is not a monster? The dude in the lower right corner seems to know what happened. So even some of the Tartars voted to be ruled by Russia? Interesting...
