Kazahstan acknowledged Crimean annexation and it's status as part of Russia. While Barroso and Rompuy stated EU will never do it.

I would consider this picture anti-putin propaganda. I know that several members of parliament across Europe have been invited to watch the referendum. On this picture you see some who did go to Crimea probably because of publicity for them. Many other parliamentarians did not go.

Anti-putin propaganda, that's why rt.com proudly quoted exactly those people.

http://blog.seattlepi.com/candacewhiting/2014/02/21/exxon-mobil-ceo-sues-to-keep-fracking-project-away-from-his-property-but-supports-fracking-elsewhere/

tl;dr
Basically the URL-title
Fracking is good and cheap and has only "unimportant" influence on the environment! ... also keep it away from me! So fracking in the Ukraine is the "best" the big US-oil/gas companies can hope for!
But to be fair: I also always hate those "green" people, that vote for more solar and wind power ... and when there are plans to build a solar/wind plant near them they are the first to petition against them, because of the view and it will lower the value of their property (many green supports are quite wealthy middle class)!

But while I think all this is quite important in this whole Ukrainian "mess", we get a little off topic here!


Like you said this is pretty much no different from rich US liberals living in Massachusetts who don't want wind farms off Cape Cod and have fought tooth and nail - and successfully - to keep them from being constructed.

Rich people are all for their pet projects - industrial or environmentalist - as long as they aren't in their backyard.

Oh common, there is propaganda from both sides. And showing only radicals on one picture is objective or what. There were also others there not shown on the picture.

That picture is a press conference, hardly our fault if they only invite neonazis there.

Edit: not to mention that those also are the people commonly quoted and cited in every russian media (no, NO other voice other than those names), so i kinda am weirded out by what you're trying to say.

That picture speaks for itself, as much as you might not like it.

Why do you say our fault? I have already written that many parliamentarians across Europe have been invited. Proof: Philipp Mißfelder(CDU) said this at the Anne Will talk show I have mentioned. There were also people invited from SPD and CDU but they chose not to go. Those people that chose to go did this only for publicity I think.

didn't germany say they were mislead by the U.S. on iraq etc. if you expect them to not be allies or publicly denounce the U.S. as in a civ5 game, then that's a silly standard to have for criticism.

there is thing in here being brought up every now and then: that somehow, people that are seen as defending Putin, are pro Russia. that is hardly the truth.
first and foremost people really really really hate the west and its democracy bullshit because we only get to be their economical slaves and political/territorial vassals. no one wants that.
And my fury stands ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought.

Your statements are quite inaccurate Xmz; try looking up actual vassalage. You're just being angry at other nations to cover up your own nation's failings, it's a very common attitude.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

No one in the West wants you as slaves or political vassals, they want to sell you things and its in the West's interest for you to become richer so they can sell you even more things

Global poverty was cut in half in the last 20 years.

It has also witnessed the rising economic/geopolitical/territorial power of countries like:

China
Brazil
India
Indonesia
The Philippines
Vietnam
Venezuela
Colombia
Poland
Turkey

I guess this was somehow accomplished despite the West and its democracy bullshit making poorer countries their economic slaves and political/territorial vassals.

that question has little to do with putin inviting a bunch of neo-nazis and other fascists to stand in front of the cameras for some kremlin propaganda

as you know full well it's just misdirection on your part

but we're not becoming richer, we are just given more debt.
they give us (lend) money so we could buy their shit then leave us with the debt. /clap

@ zlefin: i'm not covering anyone. the leaders in my country are daylight robbers, corrupt, brazen and stupid. regardless, that has nothing to do with what i said. the west does what the west does = not helping.

Neither side is 100% clean, but I'd give Russia my vote just because there is more sense in its actions in my opinion.
