Robert Parry: Cheering a ‘Democratic’ Coup in Ukraine

[MADem]

88. Why are you LOLing when =you= made the bad comparison? It's not funny.

You're out of your depth, here. You're using the "Limbaugh test" rather willy-nilly, too.

Here's the bottom line, let's strip away ALL the bullshit--if it was wrong for Bush to bigfoot his way into Iraq, it is just as wrong for Putin to bigfoot his way into Ukraine. It would be just as wrong for USA to bigfoot their way into Mexico or Canada.

This is not what sovereign nations do. The parsing and games-playing, and the support for Dictator Putin I've seen on this board, not just by newbie trolls straight outta the Kremlin, but by long-time DUers who should know better, is fricken mind blowing. And it doesn't MATTER what Oxychunky Limbaugh has to say about it, either. Why even be concerned about that nitwit's opinion? Why pull it into the discussion as if it should be considered, never mind controlling?

People should be screaming for international solidarity and vocal, world-wide condemnation against this gross incursion, not mealy-mouthing and saying (falsely) "Ewwww, they aren't soldiers going over the border.....ewwww, the 'Crimeans' inVITED them....ewwwwww, Pootie knows best, after all, they're 'close' to Moscow...." I mean, PLEASE. The Russian military is five times bigger, it's got way more equipment, and the Ukraine going up against them is like putting a toddler up against Tyson. And "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming" isn't a cute movie this time around--it's serious business. At least Ban Ky Moon gets it....

Funny how Putin can't get anything by just asking, by using diplomatic channels, by making deals and playing the quid pro quo game. He's gotta be the big bully.

No one wants to play with him, because he's an asshole who doesn't keep his word.
