Oh, Crimea River!

27. I would not be too surprised

we are in full propaganda mode, and I mean everybody. I take any coverage from the news media (all of it) with a huge grain of salt.

As to the condemnation of the European Parliament, yes, true. But the government in Kiev is a parliamentary system And while the US Congress is starting to remind me of the worst aspects of one of those, it is nowhere close to the US Congress.

Svoboda by the way, in true roots, goes further back than the nazis. It goes back to the deep nationalist roots all the way to Kievan Russian. Yes, they are not nice people, but there is far more to them than just the they are nazis.

They are part of a sub culture that also exists in the US, and that is the deep pervading sense of persecution now that we are having this push to minority rights.
