Not only does no one have the vaguest idea what you're talking about, you just called the majority of DU 'conservative goons'.

Mission accomplished!

question has his head handed to him across the globe.

Do we really have to allow these idiots to completely embarrass this country?

All that happened is more viewers for RT.

That kind of extremism should not be condoned by anyone and it isn't.

would vote for him to be the president of the US if they could.

Ever see all the memes the RW lie machine spreads around social media sites depicting lust and praise and respect for Putin and the way he governs as a totalitarian bigot?

You are welcome to your appreciation of his PR machine, of course. This is, after all, still a more free country than the one Putin dominates.

'Experts' on Faux are, as they were with Iraq, just itching for a War with Russia and making idiots of themselves around the globe.

Meantime, and you won't hear this on Fox, Putin is working with this President on Iran, supporting his efforts against the Right and Netanyahu to try to get a peaceful solution to the issues with Iran.

Faux dumbed down audience are still stuck in the old 'commie' days, but they love China. It's hilarious actually, and they are the laughing stock of the world.

for about 2 years now. Some mouthpieces on FOX only flip-flopped when the GOPs 'strategist' class saw a way to twist the conflict into a "Romney was right" narrative, while many of the dumbed down base are still having their cartoon fun lusting after shirtless Putin riding a bear.

BTW - I am fully aware of Lavrov's efforts with Kerry and how some of the public rhetoric is good cop-bad cop when the two have been mostly on the same page since even before Kerry was confirmed as SoS. I was paying attention to Kerry's efforts to prevent Bush's move to invade Syria since 2005, when GOP and many Dem hawks were signaling support for widening the invasion. Syria and Iran were the goal targets.

Fox and the US neocons trying to start a war in Ukr are being mocked. And I think those who are going along on the 'left', the 'neo-liberals' are going to be disappointed. Already Europeans are backing away from the McCain/Neocon plan for that part of the world, and Obama has never wanted this.

Just like Boehner, Obama's dealings with Russia were undermined by McCain working for the neocons in Ukr.

I think we are going to be surprised at how this all turns out.

Glad to have not been fooled by any of their warmongering.

It's the 'Romney was right' talking heads who are fantasizing of a war with Russia to sound tough while their knuckledragging base are still enamored with Putin, himself.

I have a pretty clear idea of what Lavrov and Kerry have been working towards the last few years.

The owls aren't always what they seem. Kerry-Lavrov efforts (mostly quiet) are fascinating for the big picture folks who manage to pay attention to details and remember them along the way.

of the five countries supporting Obama on Iran.

Fox's propaganda warmongering is beginning to crumble as the world sees through it.

Europe is already beginning to back away from the neocon war mongers on Ukr, McCain isn't exactly someone to trust on this. But I do believe he went behind Obama on Ukr, the same way Boehner did with Netanyahu.

Pravda (Hearts) Tea Party: American Conservatism Embraced By Russian Right-Wing And Vice Versa

"...kneeling at Christ's Holy Sepulcher which Obama never does when visiting Jerusalem. They see him going to church when they know Obama favors Muslims who attack Christians and their churches. They see Putin establishing laws to protect the church and laws against homosexuality. This they admire and this brings them hope. Hope in their upside down world where there is a leader willing to follow Christ. They have no Reagan but they see Putin whom they wish was their president."

"There you have it. Obama is an anti-Christian, Muslim lover, while Putin is the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan. A devout, law and order Christian who can inspire the Teabagging masses. Putin is their 21st century savior who can restore America and the world. The article even includes emails that the author received from Americans wishing Putin could be the U.S. president. And to top it all off, it closes with an evangelical sermon lambasting the "lamestream" media and exalting Putin's piety and the glory of Christ's guidance to the "Truth." [FYI: Pravda, in Russian, means truth]."

Fox and their 'commie' experts are the ones pushing for war with Russia. They HATE those 'commies' and are living in the past.

Obama's efforts with Russia were undermined when McCain showed up in Ukr.

Propaganda from the warmongers is not 'news' it is simply that, war propaganda.

I have a feeling that now, since Europeans are backing away from the hate mongers, we are going to be surprised about how all this turns out.
