But what made me side with them is the BS on our end, especially politics. The concept of "you're with us or against us" was the part that made me side with Russia. I am not entirely positive on various government choices and decisions in the country, but overall, I respect it as well as even agree with many. As well, the blatant hypocracy of the west just made me sick. US shoots down a civil jet, admiral gets a medal. Ukraine does it, and they denied and ignored it, then gave a lousy compensation because of it. Rebels in east Ukraine? Blame Russia and demand a tribunal. Then they cry and whine how evil Russia is for defending its interests as well as people in Georgia or Ukraine, and gets blamed and called an aggressor. US invades a full country under false and unproven pretext, kills hundreds of thousands, bombs additional 6 - 7 other countries, and no one demands sanctions or even condemns them. Then they, openly and admits that they are involved in overthrowing a democratically elected leader with minorities, and is hailed as a supporter of democracy. Yet, a whole island of people vote to join Russia, and Russia is deemed as an annexer.
These things are what made me pro Russian.
Thanks bro, a good input.
I take you are a Canadian then! One of my fav web sites is run by a Canadian you must know it - globalresearch dot ca.
Yes, hypocrisy is really bad. Victoria Nuland told the EU to do one and spied on Germany but they are still their puppets.
Funny thing is that when Kosovo decided to secede from Serbia they did not have a referendum, they fought their way to independence with the help of NATO bombing Serbia while Crimean became a part of Russia by a referendum without almost no blood in the process. So, why is Kosovo supported by the West who had not had a referendum but Crimea is not? Only because there was no bloody fighting? Well, if Putin had not annexed after the referendum Crimea would have been in a similar situation to Donbas.
I guess the US us gutted about the fact they had missed out on having their Navy Base in Crimea, oh well.
About the MH17 flight,it was a disaster. I remember that very morning when newspapers like the Sun published an article headlining Putin's missile shot down the plain almost within hours of the plain having been shot down without any investigation what so ever, without any proof or anything there was this libel against Putin. Why would they so quickly pointed their finger at Putin without and formal investigation into what happened? That was really unfair..what a cheap news outlet I thought..
Globalresearch is a joke. Anything that comes out of Canada these days is a joke. I am Ukrainian heritage, born and raised in Winnipeg Manitoba (Heart of the west Ukrainian expats, home of the Bandera supporters). I am so sickened by my own people of their diehard support for Ukraine, regardless of the bloodshed and nazi supporting fools their hero's are and prove. Heck, majority of them, if you ask them to go back to Ukraine, they would refuse cause they would claim it is a dump. Yet they support that dump. To make matters worst, a western Ukrainian who moved here, and works where I work, actually is the most unbiased person regarding this whole thing. He is just so sick and tired of what is happening right now in the country as a whole, it really bothers him.
Canada is becoming a joke of a country. Since I take it you never been hear or lived here, but I read your comment about how it is a high standard of living; let me tell you as a resident Canadian and one whom is an adult, with a family, and a car and a home. It is ALL OWNED BY THE BANK. You know how we afford high living standards? http://calgaryherald.com/business/local-business/average-albertan-paying-1500-a-month-to-service-debt
But the article is trying to still make it sound great. Cause majority of home owners, do not have 20% or even more to purchase a house. Hence why first time buyers are given a mortgage with only 5% down payment. Do you know how much homes here cost in Calgary Alberta? Averages out at: http://www.jimsparrow.com/market-stats.php
July 2015 Average Home Sale Price:$538,438 - 2.6% lower vs. same period 2014
While average albertan makes around $60,000. But wait, that is not average albertan, but average household income. Let us not forget that on average, if you have a child, daycare is over $1000 a month. Then food prices are very high here as well: http://www.numbeo.com/food-prices/city_result.jsp?country=Canada&city=Calgary
In other words, most can barely scrape by. I can barely scrape by. And yet, I have people on my neighbourhood whom are from Romania for example, whom are wanting to move back to Romania. They complained at first how in Romania, they averaged about $500 a month or so in paychecks, but yet, it seemed their money took then farther. Yes, they didn't have these big homes with all this wasted space, or glamorous movie theaters and or cars. But they seemed to be able to afford more and enjoy life more, and not worry about scraping by.
Sorry for my rand. But when I hear how in Russia that people live mortgage free because they decide to live in their Soviet apartments, or that there are apartments that are somewhat out of the way to get to and from work from, but are really cheap to obtain, and that education is free when to take the IT course I applied for, costs $18K here in Canada. It really starts to make me think about really how "great" life is here.
George Orwell would be disgusted.
