(7,321 posts)or the lives of others you were personally connected to, i.e. family, friends, relatives. would give me cause to sympathize with the reasons why you make outlandish claims you made here. When people are in fear of their lives, their perspective on matters can be easily skewed and does tend to manifest in irrational thought and behavior.
Probably because I grew up at the start of the Cold War, lived through the Cuban Missile Crises and all that followed, the current events concern me a great deal.
So I've paid a certain amount of attention to the events in the region these past two weeks, and taken time and effort to read and learn as much as time has allowed in this short period of time since Ukraine events broke out..
I've been reading everything from every point of view and every source that's surfaced on the subject, in effort to make sense of things, including a wide variety of posts on DU. And I can say without a shred of doubt, that your op is simply an irrational screed devoid of of any reality based evidence.
It would be forgivable if, as I stated earlier, you were in the region and were in fear of your life, livelihood and so forth. But since you're not, it would be prudent at the very least to avoid accusations and screeds that come straight from the pages of the Neo-Con play book.
