Guess it's justified for israel to annex donetsk now. That "justification" worked for russia according to a couple of people here, guess it would work again.
Totally sounds like CIA all over again. Damn those guys are busy.

anti-semitism on pro-russia side is all a vampire CIA hoax because nunez says so
fascists have huge influence in kiev what with their control of the ministries of ecology and natural resources of ukraine, minister of agrarian policy and food, and 1 of 4 prime ministers/first vice prime minister/vice primisters (1 vice prime minister) because nunez says so. this is a whopping 15% of ukraine's cabinet, 3 spots out of 20. one can only imagine what sinister fascist treachery the nazis will be able to work controlling the farming ministry. please tell us nunez you seem to have a really good handle on how fascists can use coal mines and cornfields to swastika up ukraine.
russia was provoked because nunez says so
if saying "we don't want to be your bitches" is valid provocation for dismembering a country or covertly going after it then every US intervention nunez has ever bitched about is 100% justified. but of course it's vampire CIA fascists who manipulated and intimidated ukrainians into wanting to say that to russia i'm sure. if only they weren't being controlled by the endowment for democracy they would dance through the tulips waving russian and ukrainian flags and there would be the most beautiful harmony between father russia and child ukraine. how dare that vampire CIA try to take a child away from its loving father who just wants to take his rightful cut of his child's possessions and earnings and control his child's life forever like all good fathers.
lots of adjusting to reality necessary because nunez says so
unfortunately nothing nunez says is within a country mile of reality so i think most of us are going to have to decline adjusting to nunez's fantasies and flamebaiting people over them. maybe nunez should try rubbing people's noses in kremlin propaganda that much harder, the effort does not seem commensurate to the task right now.

besides the points you made up yourself, you will find my concerns are mostly mainstream. fascist presence in maidan, western govt and media's failure to deal with it in a proper way, especially the us (shaking hands with svoboda leaders f.ex). us tendency to meddle in foreign affairs through the likes of usaid and ned is well established at this point (recent stories on venezuela and cuba f.ex), brennan's secret visit to kiev also establishes that the cia is involved, and has been involved in ukraine for a good while.
i never denied a fascist / ultra-nationalist presence in eastern ukraine, however the pamphlet story that was disseminated was a hoax at best, and vampire cia propaganda at worst. i'm leaning more towards the latter, as they are the ones who would gain on such a stunt. i even posted the demonstrations in the east mirrors the one in the west, that's quite a damning statement on the ones in the vanguard coming from me no?
i said that what you think is russian troops in eastern ukraine is more likely berkut, you have eye-witness accounts saying berkut is indeed involved in the very same article you posted. you seemed to imply that different uniforms means that they are russian troops, which is a bit... tough to understand. you are maybe too embarrassed to come clean on your confusion at this point since you have avoided the question several times?
you are mixing provocation with legitimacy in your eagerness to flail arms and spittle at me, which should be a pacifying realization for you. the annexation was not legitimate, but claiming that russia did not think it was reacting to provocation is a stretch.
you also fail to mention parubiy and yarosh, the pink elephants in the room, which is an embarrassing and obvious attempt at deceit. also worth noting the push to get fascist militias to join the national guard and then dispatching them to fight the protestors in the east re: parubiy's twitter.
the lower half of your post is a piece of work, i'll give you that.

That kinda sounds pretty much like the svoboda guys, doesn't it? How is one different than the other?
About anti-semetic agendas, i'm from germany. Not much to see here in terms of that, and if someone makes the tiniest of comments, medias (and politicians) ravage the person.
edit: not to mention, they are not "opportunists with an anti-semitic agenda" or some sugarcoating like that. They're as much nazis/fascists as the people that you and others are condemning. Weird to see people in this case telling others that they're "opportunists" (as if EuroMaidan was different oO), and it's okay since europe anyway is pretty anti-semetic.

Funny you mention that, as the head rabi of ukraine said neither him nor any of the ukranian jews felt threatened in any way, and then of course once russia marched into crimea they started marking and burning tatar property, and now as soon as russian funded/russian "seperatist" fascist millitia takes over some cities they go straight into anti semitism.

Weird to see people in this case telling others that they're "opportunists" (as if EuroMaidan was different oO), and it's okay since europe anyway is pretty anti-semetic. Who said I was supporting them? I just think they're a fringe element, not part of the major group, that's all. Even the US hasn't tried to pin that on the pro-Russian movement, and with good reason.

The Jewish community in Russia went from two million people in the 90's to 200k today. Russia is best buddies with Iran, if I'm allowed to remember you that's the country that has repeatedly stated that it wants to 'wipe Israel off the map'. But thank god we have Russia protecting everyone from anti-semitic Europe.

It is. And no, it's not "suppressed anti-semitism", we kinda have our past. The comments i was talking about were in regards to people critizising israel for the westbank etc, like justified criticism - you can't do that here since you're labeled anti semit for that already (and yeah, by that definition, i am antisemitic as well).
And i never said you "support" them. I said you're sugarcoating it, playing it down. Justifying it with "europe is pretty anti-semitic anyway", while still calling the guys in kiev fascists/nazis. By the "definition" you gave me, those people are not "nazis" either, but "opportunists".

Not to mention, had one of the most famous holocaust-deniers as a leader until recently.

That being said: I am familiar enough with the Jewish migration from the USSR to say that nationalist terrorists in the smaller republics and economics had at least as much to do with their departure as any mistreatment by Russia.

Well, then feel yourself excluded from that comment i made. Still leaves others who it fits to. Thanks for clarifying.

@LegalLord
I don't get what you guys are talking about with this lack of "Jew friendliness". Most non-Muslim developed countries are what I would say Jew-neutral (i.e. treat them like normal people). In a lot of these countries there is a small minority of people who have anti-Semitic views. I'd say there is only ONE Jew-friendly country and that is Israel. In the USA most people are Jew-neutral, we do have some neo-nazis, and although are government has harboured a pro-Isreal policy that doesn't make our society Jew-friendly.
So Jew-neutral is all of the Americas, W. Europe, Asia, etc.
In E. Europe you could label many countries as Jew unfriendly, where a very significant part of the population has some negative attitudes towards Jews (like "they control businesses or media" etc.).
However, this is all somewhat irrelevant to the issue at hand. Jew unfriendliness is one thing, neo-nazism and Jew *hating* is another. These are groups that actively promote an anti-Jewish stance, commit hate crimes, empathize with Hitler.
Jew-hating is the issue with some of the nationalists in Ukraine, a long with some of the "protestors" in E. Ukraine. The two groups (Ukranian nationalist party members, and pro-Russia protestors) are generally speaking the same group of people. They are *both* nationalists but one is pro-Russia, the other pro-Ukraine. They both harbour anti-Jewish feelings to some degree. They are composed of mainly working class people, with the men being affected by hyper-masculinity (propensity for shaved heads, violence, soccer hooliganism, etc.) I know I am generalizing a lot, but I think anybody who has lived in E. Europe knows what I'm talking about.

An OSCE team “has been in Donetsk but has not yet made progress,” one diplomat said. “They are trying to get back into Slovyansk, but pro-Russian demonstrators have been blocking the way.” An OSCE assessment released Monday described the situation as “very tense” in Donetsk and as “deteriorating” in Slovyansk, where “the entire town is under the control of armed groups.” Free passage of the monitors and the disarming of separatists were key elements of the agreement reached in Geneva on Thursday among the United States, Russia, Ukraine and the European Union, and the very terms that U.S. officials said would be the primary test of whether Russia intended to comply with the accord. U.S. officials said late last week that they expected to see results by Monday. Collapse of the agreement — which Lavrov on Monday accused Ukraine of violating — would almost certainly lead to additional U.S. sanctions against Russian individuals. But a U.S. response is unlikely until at least after Vice President Biden returns home Wednesday from a visit to the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, according to a senior State Department official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal policy deliberations.

*** Nice article on the tactics used by Russian forces in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.
Secretary of State John Kerry has accused Russia of behaving in a “19th-century fashion” because of its annexation of Crimea. But Western experts who have followed the success of Russian forces in carrying out President Vladimir V. Putin’s policy in Crimea and eastern Ukraine have come to a different conclusion about Russian military strategy. They see a military disparaged for its decline since the fall of the Soviet Union skillfully employing 21st-century tactics that combine cyberwarfare, an energetic information campaign and the use of highly trained special operation troops to seize the initiative from the West. Keep reading here.

As a response to some of these Linke posts in this thread:
The link is in German. (And this comes from a left-leaning magazine in Germany).
*** More on the treatment of Tatars.

You shouldn't link crap like this. It's obvious, what opinion i have on the whole thing, but..
Yeah, no. This article is based on nothing really, it's an editors rant. He's discrediting and namecalling people who vote left, not much more. It's an opinion, as much as anyone elses.
Don't go too much into these "indi-pages", 95% of what you can read there is utter bs.
