There are Russian forces armed by Russia trying to break off more of the sovereign state of Ukraine for Putin's "New Russia". And RT routinely airs fake footage that they know is fake: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017196999

...that "Russian guns and Russian uniforms could be bought in any surplus goods store", but once the weapons became less guns and more MANPADs and tanks, I guess it is rent-to-own now #LaughterThroughTears

Oh, and: PUTIN HUYLO!

the documentary on Chechnya on the Russian military operations curbing separatist militants and repel a clear danger from terrorist groups.



Interesting the Putin channel thinks Ukraine should not be able to do the same thing as a sovereign state.

...kinda like the Trickle-down theory.

- A top-down perspective by someone who is unaffected and which takes no history of the people involved into account when reaching it's conclusions.

We gave the fascists in Kiev a billion dollars to pay for this war on the people of Lugansk and Donetsk. On what basis does any American criticize the people of Lugansk for trying to defend their city and region from Right Sector killers?

We in the United States will pay a terrible price for our support of this brutal and criminal aggression.
