The Ukraine

[old man 76]

I have been reading the Republican thoughts on the Ukraine. Of course the first thing they do is blame the president that is a given. What I laugh about is the Republican notion that all we need to do is scream, holler and threaten a country we don't agree with and that country will back down. Bush's two war prove that is not effective. How ever this is what the Republicans do in government. Scream, holler and threaten but in reality accomplish nothing. The only thing sadder is the conservatives who believe them.

1. russia subsidizing ukraine

I read that the Crimea voted to join russia; therefore there is nothing to do about the ukraine. I also read that Russia basically subsidized the Ukraine; whereas the USA does not. I also noted that Russia was cutting off gas subsidies to the Ukraine, but yet the USA or Europe wont be footing Ukraine's gas bill. this has been called unfair sanctions, but then the USA is also using economic sanctions. In many respects the Ukraine is Russia's backyard. There is no end to the USA supporting fascist coups all over the world. Its like bickering over who gets to control a flea circus a billion miles away. It doesn't really concern me as an everyman.

2. your absolutely right

that is how these wildly irresponsible groups like the tea party get started! funded by the wealthy to divert the honest citizens who were starting a ground wave against the Bush ADMINISTRATION! That is why the worker has been losing ground! people like you who are brainwashed into willful submission and completely unaware of it! So while you smug alter ego sooth your foolishness the rest of us are trying to better our life.
