    Anglolatino!
    Remember when you said the difference between the Kiev protests and the Donetsk ones where the fact that, in Kiev, the revolt was popular and involved women as well?

    Well, it seems the Donetsk women are taking to the streets. Young ladies as older women.

    Not only that, it seems the military Kiev sent to Eastern Ukraine turned on them and started waving Russian flags.

    New deadline monday?

    Will these new wave of soldiers commit to the cause of killing countrymen in order to uphold a non elected government, puppies of the West?

    Why does the Swiss flag look like the Danish one?

    So many questions, so little time...

    Putin's own goal in Ukraine is one of the most spectacular fails I have seen a country make. He may go down in history as the president who regained Crimea but lost Ukraine.

    And considering how the Russians think of Ukraine; this will resonate for decades.

    At the same time he has almost singlehandedly ruined his (usual) main reason for popularity: the economy.

    Russia is about to start a very sharp recession. Some estimates are for a contraction of 4%. The rouble is crashing and they have spent 7% I'd their reserves propping it up. Investment is fleeing hand over fist and companies that need to roll over Euro debt haven't.

    Ukraine'a economic problems are self inflicted and have been for a long time. Now is the opportunity to tackle them. Russia's economic problems are new and internationally inflicted. Their pain hasn't even started yet.

    Are you reading the news?
    Ukranian soldiers are changing sides. Those very same soldiers that were sent to take the eastern Ukranian cities back, took the tanks and changed side.

    Putin will end up with Eastern Ukraina in his pocket. The wealthy part of the country.
    EU will end up bailing for the poor part of the contry, and EU citizens will love it, using their taxes to support US warmonging.

    But the real losers here will be the Ukranians, victims of national and international power hunger, paying for someones meal with their own country...

    Congrats EU.
    Congrats USA.

    You reap what you sow...

    #1 I know I'm not Anglotino but...

    Strictly speaking, to claim the government is unelected is not entirely true. The MPs of the legislative branch (the Verkhovna Rada) were all elected. When Yanukovych fled (although perhaps driven out is more accurate) he de facto resigned, leaving the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada as an interim president, who in turn appoints the prime minister.

    You see there is a subtlety here as to whether Yanukovych actually has de facto resigned. However, I hope you see that peddling the only-slightly true “non-elected government” is a half-truth at the very best, as all members of the government were in fact elected.

    People may soon be killed again and that will be a great shame for the Ukraine. It's clear there is a geo-political rivalry between Russia and the West, with both involved in the recent unrest, but it is Russia that has just annexed/invaded the Crimea and is massing troops on its border. It is Russia that has doubled the price of gas, and threatened to cut off supplies, and it is Russia that has sent poorly disguised armed forces in Crimea and eastern Ukraine. It is Russia that has explicitly broken all its agreements with regards to Russia and has demonstrated its hypocrisy over its condemnation of recent NATO/Western military interventions (Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya et al.).

    I'd prefer to be a puppy of the West than Russia's whipping boy.

    I'm pretty sure that admirable trait of communism existed for about 3 seconds. Countries that call themselves communist/socialist are typically either borderline or full dictatorial state capitalist (the former USSR, China, Cuba, North Korea) or populist regimes aimed at maintaining power by driving class conflict (current Venezuela).

    In my opinion there is nothing wrong with this “someone who feels the poor maybe should be helped instead of kept in the mud”. However, unless you have a strong active multi-party democracy (many of which are also constitutional monarchies) this often degenerates into one of the systems outlined above.

    The countries which today have the lowest income inequality are typically western mixed economies NOT anyone calling themselves socialist/communist or even a peoples republic.

    @16 etc. Poor, poor, poor Stevie. How could “enlightened” Putin fail to take an opportunity to sit down with the Ukrainian government and “negotiate” over areas of concern? Why would “enlightened” Putin have 40,000+ troops on the border with Ukraine? And the list of “protests” against the actions of “enlightened” Putin is where? Being stupid, the ordinary people of Britain pressured their leaders into not helping other ordinary people in Syria. The result satisfied all the cowards. Like they were being asked to go! The Syrian government has now managed to kill more than 150,000 people. Isn't that GOOD? More than 150,000 corpses. Men, women, children. Just lying there. Stinking. Rotting. Guts falling out. Bits missing because of the birds and animals. Lovely.

    And actually, Stephanie, you big girl's blouse. a “dictator” is a thing that doesn't rule through proper democratic means. Most South American and latam places are such. “Terrorist” is a bit of scum that uses violence. Much like you wish you had the balls to do. And “communist” designates someone who thinks that what other people own should belong to them. Another word for it is “thief”!

    White House officials has confirmed that the director of the Central Intelligence Agency visited Ukraine over the weekend, following reports in the Russian media. On Sunday, Moscow urged Washington to respond to allegations in the Russian press that CIA Director John Brennan had made an incognito visit to Ukrainian capital Kiev.

    The reports alleged that Brennan, who assumed the directorship of the CIA a year ago, traveled to Ukraine on official business under a false identity in order to avoid attention. Russian media further alleged that the CIA head met with a host of Ukrainian intelligence and security officials and advised them on how to respond to the ongoing crisis in eastern Ukraine.
    LOL it is and always has been about the encirclement of Russia by the US and its NATO allies and has been happening since the end of the cold war slowly but surely, maybe Russia has decided to draw a line LOL

    USA killed 500.000 children in Iraq and counting.

    A rather emotive phrase. What you are alleging is, that the USA has had a policy of slaughtering children. How have they done this?
    By carpet bombing à la WW2 ? In that case, there should be twice that number of adult casualties. By putting them into death camps and then starving them to death, or gassing or by execution squads ?
    Yes, I am sure a large number of Iraqui children have been killed directly by US forces, but not specifically targeted as a matter of policy which you are trying to infer.

    Have not the largest amount of casualties been caused by the sectarian war in the country. Indiscriminate car bombings and suicide bombings killing anyone who is near.
    Yes children were dying for lack of medical treatment and drugs under the US led sanctions before the invasion. Medical supplies were permitted under this regime but it was Sadam Hussein who refused to allow their import.
    Wiki quote:-
    During its last decade, the regime of Saddam Hussein cut public health funding by 90 percent, contributing to a substantial deterioration in health care.[1] During that period, maternal mortality increased nearly threefold

    Since the invasion, medical practice has gone back to the dark ages in many cases with poor sanitation a main contributor.

    Yes the US and the UK must bear some of the responsibility for actions in the invasion but S.H. had set the ball rolling in respect of public health..

    By inferring that the US is totally responsible is arrant nonsense.
    I understand it suits your political agenda but you are sadly mistaken.

    I've also seen this movie. It's the one where the west never loses. Don't you get it yet. Because the west isn't any single thing. Russia offers only one way. Venezuela offers only one way. The anti-west way.

    But the west offers infinite ways. And that is why it will always win. Because the west can be the US or the UK or Australia. But it is also Cyprus and Estonia and Japan and Singapore and even places like Mexico and probably Chile.

    And that is why the west won't lose Ukraine because Ukrainians will aspire to what the west offers. Venezuelans will aspire to what the west offers. Because the heavy hand of fascism in Russia and the poverty-inducing policies of Venezuela that only enriches the political elite.

    The west can wait centuries if need. It stared down the dictatorships of The Soviet Union until its people could stand it no longer and tore it down themselves from within.

    The west doesn't lose. Because it is people that aspire to it.

    And governments can only stand against their people for so long until they fall.

    Nah Anglolatino
    Western economies are soon facing reality.
    With their debts exploding and a GDP that finds it impossible to expand at the same pace, the only possible outcome is massive inflation until you reach a point of default.
    It's simply not bearable.

    And you think your economies will cut down their expenses?
    You think they will even try to fish votes by telling the truth?

    What is the truth, Anglolatino? That you lot have been living over your means for generations? That all you have been accomplishing is a product of other people's work? That your kids have been spoonfed off the shoulders of the masses?

    People have been predicted the end of the west since before I was born. And yet it is all the other systems that have failed and fallen away. The Soviet Union. Communist China. Apartheid. Every military dictatorship in the Americas except Cuba.

    Russia has no growth and doesn't produce anything export raw materials.
    No one in the west is clocking up debt like Venezuela.
    Choma doesn't even know how much it owes and the defaults have started.

    The west isn't a single system. So it can keep changing and adapting. So while there are failures like Greece and Spain, others move on.

    You can only measure the west by debts because you can't find any other weakness.

    Like all your bankrupt philosophies you are a one trick pony. Debt debt debt.

    Well I guess we'll just have to keep waiting for this mythical finale where the west disappears because of debt.

    Until then... our ranks grow. Venezuelans. Uruguayans. Ukrainians. Chinese.

    They're all choosing our way and not yours.

    Stevie,

    Apparent from the article - the West is at a disadvantage - they have to behave ethically.
    Russia is using that to their advantage, but do not feel constrained by ethics at all.

    Fair summation?

    The People aren't fooled - they lived through it with the Soviets and the Ukraine genocide.
    I think this is what you and Putin feel is a “return to glory”.

    57. Stevie - I'm sorry about this but the world isn't the way you'd like it to be. I do sympathise though I'm sure that I too would perceive the world the way you do if I maybe halved my IQ and limited my window on the world to what Russia Today broadcasts. I know your trying to play this role of being the great contrarian and hero of the third world but it's not really working for you. Your arguments are weak and the links you put up in support of your lunacy are just kind of funny but in a “tin foil hat” sort of way.

    Back to the greater moral issue,

    Please tell is how you justify oppressing / attacking, the populations of women and children, and the “working poor ” in Venezuela, Syria, the Ukraine, and while we are at it, Gad- daffy'a Libya ???

    How does “we just dislike you more” make you condone
    Maduro's moto-Collectivos firing on unarmed students and protestors??

    How about your support for Russia supplying arms to Syria to use against their people, in return for what?? Oil???

    I thought that was the crime you accused the West of. That was your justification for hating them.

    An Anarchist would never approve of a population under the sway of an Authoritarian State like Venezuela, Syria, or Russia, or a state like Argentina where CFK rules by decree.

    Regarding Syria I have no opinions other than the place is a mess. I refuse to choose between sides I don't agree with.
    As for Ukraine, I merely highlight your lots double morals. You saluted the demonstrations in Kiev defending democracy. Now do the same for the people in Donetsk.
    In Libya, the West removed a man that, with all his flaws, did a better job in keeping people alive than the mess left by the West. Like it or not.
    Maduros “colectivos” is merely happening in your head.
    Russias weapon supply to Syria, I condemn just as strongly as I condemn the Western weapon supply to Syria, via Saudi Arabia. And their weapon supply to Saudi Arabia altogether.

    Reported on the radio in Canada, Jews in Eastern Ukraine are being told to register with the (Russian) Authorities.

    We've just stepped back 100 years in the Ukraine - is Russia going to finish off the Ukrainian Jews, this time?

    Stevie - I don't think the “West” has a problem with self determination (possibly excluding Latin countries). If Ukraine wants to divide itself in 2 then good for them. It's not up to us to criticise a people who think a customs union with Russia and Belarus is better than one with the EU. However I think the “west has a problem with how Russia has acted in regards to Ukraine. It's intolerable to seize and annexe land from another country without the consent of that country, especially if prior to this you've previously signed a treaty guaranteeing that country's borders. Russia is acting irrationally and I think we can only account for that by questioning the psychology of Putin.
    Who is this man that you so bravely support? Wasn't he the constitutional vandal who put personal vanity ahead of constitutional integrity. Whilst he didn't strictly disobey the law of the 2 term presidency limit he certainly broke the principle of it. Or maybe he's the homophobe who's become a gay icon? Or is he the feckless thug who seizes Ukrainian lands by force? More likely he's the village idiot who thinks pissing off his country's main markets is a really good idea when 70% of the Russian federal budget is based upon Gasoil exports. My own perception of Mr P is that he's a little bit ”odd”. I don't think we're necessarily all living in the same universe as Mr P. I think he resides in is own special place where all the clocks stopped in 1979 and the wallpaper is made up of ghastly orange and brown colours.

    The Kiev Ukrainian Government is 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea'.

    The pro-Russian Ukrainians and Russian Crimeans now holding government buildings across Donetsk and Eastern Ukraine are largely their own people.
    The world has let Russia annex part of The Ukraine - the Crimea.

    Putin is poised to to 'defend' these 'own people' in Eastern Ukraine - which will cause the Russian armies to roll into the Ukraine.
    Which will put the US and the UK in a dilemma, since they have a defence pact to defend The Ukraine against foreign aggressors.

    This is even more dangerously balanced than the start of World War 1.

I continue to banter in hopes that at some point, you as well could seem enough of something for me to give more than motor driven thought to hate, despise, admire.........anything. But you have not reached that level of more that inadvertent stomach pang.

    That being said you could never mock me in public.....perhaps in your fantasies. You would have to be in the same hemisphere for that to happen........and not you. You can talk and walk but not carry your own load of convictions.

    Trying to dig through all the propaganda and hyperbole in Ukraine, I can only find 12 buildings that have been taken over and kept. There doesn't seem to be any actual territory taken over.

    The headquarters of the largest and biggest occupation in the Donetsk RSA building doesn't even have electricity because they don't actually control any infrastructure.

    The 6 troops carriers that were captured have now all been returned.

    The heavy hand of a supposedly fascist government in Kyiv has failed to materialise with only 8 deaths of pro-Russian activists so far and 4 pro-Ukrainian persons. Hardly what you would call civil war or a revolution.

    The popular uprising or anarchy that was supposed to be widespread doesn't seem to be happening. Especially considering there is supposed to be a referendum in exactly 21 days on 'sovereignty' in Donetsk. Who will print the ballot papers when they don't even have electricity?

    So here are the four Oblasts that Russia is hoping will connect Russia with Crimea and Transnistria. Putin's oft mentioned Novorossiya. So far they don't seem to be having much luck. Might be time to send in the troops soon.

    Current occupation or liberation depending on your viewpoint:

    Donetsk Oblast - Donetsk People's Republic proclaimed.
    Donetsk RSA building.
    Kramatorsk City Hall and police station.
    Mariupol city administration building.
    Sloviansk city council building.
    Hirlivka police station.
    Druzhkivka district administration building.
    Khartsyzk council building.
    Zhdanovka council building.
    Seversk local administration building and police station.

    Luhansk Oblast - Lugansk Parliamentary Republic was maybe proclaimed.
    Luhansk SBU building.

    Kharkiv Oblast - Kharkov People's Republic proclaimed.
    No areas outside government control.

    Odessa Oblast - Odessa People's Republic proclaimed by some anonymous group.
    No areas outside government control.

    I'm sorry that I caught you flat-footed and that you are now vainly clutching at straws.

    First off, why biased? What is biased? You haven't refuted anything I said. If you can find more than the 12 buildings being taken over I'll gladly stand corrected.

    If you can find actual territory held by any forces other than governmental, then tell me.

    “You missed out on the Right Sector shooting and killing “separatists” from vehicles. I understand you think “only” 5 people died, but still...”

    Voices in your head again? I quote:
    “8 deaths of pro-Russian activists so far and 4 pro-Ukrainian persons.”

    That's TWELVE by my count. Not FIVE.

    And that includes your incident. Hardly a blood bath. How many people do you claim the fascist protesters in Kyiv killed? More than TWELVE.

    “Because I can assure you there is no such thing as “only” when you are in the middle of the mess...”

    In the middle of WHAT? 12 buildings and 12 dead. Those 4 oblasts have 118,000km2 with 11,900,000 people.

    A mess is what it is. Because it sure as hell isn't a revolution or popular uprising.

    That's 0.0009 of its land occupied and 0.0001 of its population killed.

    Even adding all those women and children, there are hardly any protesters on the streets.

    Indeed the protesters can't even agree. In Mariupol, there were 3 groups occupying the city administration building. After Geneva the 3 groups couldn't agree what to do and 2 groups left. 1 group of 20 people is now the occupying power in this city 500,000.

    You are right. It is a mess. I'm thinking Russia will probably need to invade soon as this isn't the sort of mess that Putin was hoping for.

    I totally agree that there are fascists groups and elements in Ukraine. I've never denied that. However, considering how many fascists there are; there seems to be a severe lack of mayhem and murder going on. If anyone can update the 12 murders in the east of Ukraine, I will happily stand corrected.

    However until then, it would seem with fascists running freely and seemingly in control of roving bands of thugs; they don't seem to be doing a great deal.

    Seems Russia will have to find a new excuse to invade as no one seems to be playing the parts they are supposed to.

    Indeed the latest “massacre” involves:
    * four cars approaching a roadblock and opening fire
    * at the same time the roadblock was attacked by snipers in the surrounding area
    * two cars were burnt while the other two escape with dead bodies
    * the rear of the two cars was actually shot from BEHIND and at GROUND level and not from the roadblock - seems a little strange!

    And the result from an attack by FEARLESS and RAMPAGING fascists from Right Sector according to RT.com?

    3 dead!

    And now the howls of people for Russia to send “peace keepers” to help stop this carnage.

    3 dead!

    Seems Russia might finally have its excuse to invade......

    But wait, thankfully they captured one of the attackers who confessed all.

    It is amazing that it wasn't worse. Supposedly the 26 civilians that were armed with nothing more than bats were attacked by people with equipment such as “a machine gun, a night vision device, aerial photos of Slavyansk, military uniforms, camping tools and other things handy for guerrilla warfare”.

    If you look at the barricade which was nothing more than stacks of tyres 6 kilometres from the town, you have to wonder how the hell 26 people with no weapons survived against snipers and machine guns.

    It's called critical thinking Stevie and you seem incapable of doing it.

    C'mon Russia, it's time to invade to stop these “massacres”.

    Is Russian media only trustworthy when it suits YOU?

    Anyway this“massacre” hasn't had the desired effect. I predict there'll me more “massacres”. It seems Ukraine just refuses to play by Putin's game plan. Its troops prefer to defect or walk away from a fight.

    Though Russian TV is showing almost constant news stories on shootings, bombings and general mayhem. But no funerals for all this, nor any scenes of mayhem in hospitals for the wounded..... or wounded for that matter. Seems those fascists are really bad shots when it comes to it.

    Though Russian stocks and currency dropped after this latest “massacre”. God imagine what will happen after Russia invades.

    The Muslims know how to do these things.
    Whatever the event, and however it happened, all injured and dead in any skirmish (or road-accident) are immediately surrounded by hundreds of men chanting that god is great, the bodies are always passed over the heads of the crowds so that the media can get good shots and footage, and then dumped in an open-backed Toyota so the Arab news agency can get the pictures to send around the world. Then the Stars and Stripes is ritually burned and the crowd start chanting about Western Devils.

    http://rt.com/news/slavyansk-checkpoint-shooting-killed-640/
    * 3 dead
    * four cars approaching a roadblock and opening fire
    * Supposedly the 26 civilians that were armed with nothing more than bats were attacked by people with equipment such as “a machine gun, a night vision device, aerial photos of Slavyansk, military uniforms, camping tools and other things handy for guerrilla warfare”.
    * If you look at the barricade which was nothing more than stacks of tyres 6 kilometres from the town, you have to wonder how the hell 26 people with no weapons survived against snipers and machine guns.
    * at the same time the roadblock was attacked by snipers in the surrounding area
    * two cars were burnt while the other two escape with dead bodies
    * the result from an attack by FEARLESS and RAMPAGING fascists from Right Sector 3 dead!

    http://rt.com/news/slavyansk-checkpoint-shooting-killed-640/
    * the rear of the two cars was actually shot from BEHIND and at GROUND level and not from the roadblock - seems a little strange!

    http://rt.com/news/slavyansk-checkpoint-shooting-killed-640/
    * And now the howls of people for Russia to send “peace keepers” to help stop this carnage.

    http://rt.com/news/slavyansk-checkpoint-shooting-killed-640/
    * But wait, thankfully they captured one of the attackers who confessed all.

    As for
    rt.com/news/slavyansk-checkpoint-shooting-killed-640/
    * it mentions “3 dead [locals] and several injured”, not 3 dead only. This can be explained by th fact that the people, like the note says, ran into the surrounding woods.
    * The note does not even contain the word “sniper”, merely a hooded guy saying the 2nd person that got killed was sniped down. This is not the same as saying there were snipers around the area. And snipers in the car would make little sense in an assault attack.
    * The two cars that were burnt, were done so after the attacks, by an angry mob, according to the note.
    * 3 dead as a result of an attack from Nazis, is just that. They wouldn't have been more or less Nazis for killing more or less people. I dont understand your point.

    As for your
    www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10777403/Ukraine-crisis-Geneva-peace-deal-in-tatters-after-up-to-five-shot-dead.html
    * Your selective reading obviously missed the note stating
    “The cars appeared to have been moved since they caught fire”
    There is no way telling how the car was positioned when it was shot at, espeially having in mind that it would make sense that the fire was returned at some point.

    Your
    voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_04_20/Slavyansk-mayor-asks-Russia-to-send-peacekeeper-5232/
    Well, the Geneva deal was that both sides would desarm and the occupied buildins would be returned. Now, you could argue that the buidings weren't abandoned and hence the deal was ot upheld. But the Right Sector wasn't disarmed either and it's one thing not to deescalate and another to escalate altogether.
    Why do you feel you need a carnage before somebody acts?

    Lastly
    voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_04_20/Suspected-gunman-held-after-attack-on-Slavyansk-checkpoint-self-defense-forces-5858/
    Is that a problem?

    Although I agree it's weird they set the cars afire, I knew you have issues understanding what you read...

    Usually cars used for illegal activities are set on fire to destroy evidence of occupants identities or car ownership.

    That would take care of any “Right Sector logos on the side of the cars”, as mentioned in the RT pro-Russian video.
    We only have the Russians' word for it that they were so marked, or that was what happened.

    Stevie

    So you agree with the facts I laid out except for two points you highlighted:
    1/ the injured in addition to the dead from the “massacre”
    2/ the cars were moved.

    Well thank you for brining those subjects up. Because you are really helping me out here.

    The fact that you have now proven my claim that you can't CRITICALLY THINK was great.

    So here's the questions a rational person who can think and doesn't fall for propaganda would ask:

    1/ the injured
    * where are they? They're heroes and should be feted
    * where are their families? No cameras visited the hospital to interview them?
    * where's the blood? All that shooting and no blood anywhere on the ground
    * where's the battlefield triage rubbish? Torn and bloody clothes, bandages, IVs? There is nothing on the ground from this “massacre” that happened only 5 hours earlier
    * no doctors to interview? No friends covered in blood after carrying their comrades to safety
    * where are the bullet holes? I've watched the RT video 7 times and can't see a single bullet hole in the tyre barricade. I can't see a single bullet hole in the asphalt road. I saw a lot of bullets on display but not a single bullet hole other than in the cars.

    2/ the cars were moved.
    AFTER the fire?
    * Impossible. Look at the video. The road under the cars is scorched.
    * there are no gouges in the asphalt from pushing a car without tyres
    * there is no debris anywhere else but under the cars

    BEFORE the fire?
    * the cars are lined with the checkpoint entry now. That is the position they were in when the shooting started according to eye witnesses
    * in all that mayhem and before the grieving and angry mob of townsfolk torch the cars.... they park them?

    Some more questions:
    * I have four cars, positioned snipers and superior fire powers for nearly 5 minutes and yet the impenetrable barrier of tyres can't be breached?
    * Why did I stop?
    * Why didn't I ram the barricade?
    * Why didn't I drive through it and shoot from behind?

    And more......

    The fact that the cars were moved after they were set afire is stated in your own source. I quote:
    “The cars appeared to have been moved since they caught fire, with residue from burnt tires and glass from what appeared to be shattered rear lights found closer to the barricade. ”

    The fact that no media chose to interview any injured or any hospital is not the same as to say it didn't happen. Fact is, look at media in Maidan vs media in Eastern Ukraine. The coverage seems to be much more interesting when it comes to reporting what suits them, in that I agree with you.

    As for your snipers, nobody mentions snipers except a hooded guy in the video that states that the second victim was sniped. You are the only one to talk about “positioned snipers”.

    In order to see holes in the barricade or in the street, you would need a close up on the very same. This is not the case with your video.
    On your statement that no evidence is shown, Again, I Refer to your own source:
    “While it seems clear that a fight did take place, and several people were killed, further accounts of the fight are confused.”
    Seems your own source disagrees with your opinion on that point.

    As for the rest, it's pure speculations from your side and totally pointless for you and me to discuss, as neither you or me have been to the scene.

    Aaah Stevie

    I see you are finally taking my advice and starting to critically think.

    Yes my source did state “the cars were moved after they were set afire”.

    Though I doubt you will now claim that this source can be trusted. What’s interesting is the new stories now circulating that state the barricade had Molotov cocktails and that is the reason the cars were torched.

    But watch the video. I don’t see any residue near the barriers. Because I can critically think. You can’t.

    So you agree that there have been no survivors interviewed. No one can seem to find any at this stage.

    “You are the only one to talk about ‘positioned snipers’

    bahahahaha…… MY GOD MAN CRITICALLY THINK!

    If a sniper isn’t positioned, then he isn’t a bloody sniper then is he! Hahahahaha

    But I note that you can’t find a single bullet hole outside of those in the cars in any video either.

    Funny that!

    As for the sources. I think most of them are bullshit. Especially RT. I am using them for your benefit; to highlight your deficiencies. The whole thing was stage managed and a set up by the Russian government.

    “Seems your own source disagrees with your opinion on that point.” Yes they do indeed. Because I don’t fall for the propaganda like you do.

    But all I wanted to do was highlight that you do fall for the propaganda.

    No injured.
    No bullet holes.
    Such convenient evidence of the Right Sector, including a business card!

    If anyone wants to have a laugh at a Russian government propaganda fail…..

    Do you always pat yourself on the shoulder?
    Do you always base your arguments on sources you don't trust in yourself?
    The source in question is not rt, it's

    www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10777403/Ukraine-crisis-Geneva-peace-deal-in-tatters-after-up-to-five-shot-dead.html

    Again, it clearly states that, again, I quote:

    “The cars appeared to have been moved since they caught fire, with residue from burnt tires and glass from what appeared to be shattered rear lights found closer to the barricade. ”

    and

    “While it seems clear that a fight did take place, and several people were killed, further accounts of the fight are confused.”

    Are you calling that propaganda now?

    What you are up to is not called “critically thinking”, it's called “adjusting arguments to fit a delusion”.

    I'm saying they're wrong Stevie.

    That's an ability I have. To disagree when presented with other facts.

    You seem incapable of that. Which proves my point.

    It is you that keeps twisting to preserve your illusion. Because the facts back up my claim. The unanswered questions back up my claim. The logic backs up my claim.

    The fact is that you won't ask any questions. You just keep repeating other people's answers.

    Go on, ask the questions:
    Who attacked?
    Why did they attack?
    What was their aim?
    Why did they fail?
    Where are the injured?

    The result of this “massacre” is the EXACT opposite of what anyone other than the pro-Russians want. So why do it? On Easter Sunday. Where was the benefit for the attackers?

    The only government to make mileage out of this is Russia. Why is that?

    Try asking more questions and be less of a propaganda drone.
