Your sources, as I noted above, all parrot the same pro-Kiev line; in fact, they actually parrot Kiev's news releases without question. That is not real reporting. It is merely main stream, pro-Ukraine propaganda.

I like to offer an alternate point of view, and an authentic one, despite what you may choose to believe. That is protected by the First Amendment, don't ya know?
