[Jefferson23]

2. Hello.

are you speaking about..specifically.

[rus084]

4. hello

why U.S. policemans killing black peoples?
Why U.S. goverment make revolutions in some countries?
Why in organization of union nations admitting fascism in Ukraine?

[Jefferson23]

7. The answer to your first question is racism and corruption in our justice system.

Why U.S. goverment make revolutions in some countries? I am not certain what you're
asking, US made a revolution? Can you give me one example where you believe this took place?
Are you talking about GW Bush and his foreign policies?

Why in organization of union nations admitting fascism in Ukraine? I think we have a translation
problem on this question.

8. language barrier?

sorry , i cant good speak english .

Do you know what is in Ukraine ?
Do you know what was in Odessa?
Ukrainan goverment is crazy , crime crazy .
Its Ukrainan army destroed boeing ! Nobody else !
But your goverment dont hear it and speak about separatists do it.
Not so?


Your goverment maked revolution in Libia , Egypt , trying in Syria , in Ukraine .
Not so?

[Jefferson23]

9. Ok, I think I understand..you're doing fine with your English.

This is what I can tell you, and that is my opinion..the evidence does not
support your governments claims.

Perhaps you can point to other sources other than Putin's word for it to be factual.

Ukraine Should Change Proposed Censorship Law

I answered your question regarding our racism issues in the US with respect to the death
of a young African American by a police officer.

I ask you, are you satisfied with your leader, Putin and Russia's human rights record?

[rus084]

10. ok

can you use google translator?

why your goverment speak about democtatic in others countries ?
revolutions is not democratic !

why in "Майдан незалежности" (independence square) (in Ukraine) was US flag?
what your goverment workers do in Ukraine?


i like Putin , he is better than Gorbachev and Eltsin .

[Jefferson23]

11. I believe I explained my opinion and gave you support for it as well.

I don't think I can further help you in understanding US relations in Ukraine.

I find what Putin did in Crimea and Ukraine to be not only illegal but immoral.
This is not to suggest that I support and or condone all US foreign policies,
I do not..but I do my best to recognize when we are falsely accused of
coups that we have not initiated.

Good luck to you, and best regards.

12. Thank you for understending , but you not right

6. Start here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_States

And in the US, the federal government doesn't typically get involved in local issues - whether or not similar issues occur in multiple locations all over the country.
