High Cost of Bad Journalism on Ukraine

[MattSh]

2. Let me guess...

You don't do subtilty, do you?

Any one who following politics in any serious manner can easily figure out that he meant "if he wanted to" he could take Kiev in two weeks. Even if the paper that reported it deliberately decided to sensationalize what he said. But why the hell would Putin want to take Kiev? So he could pay to fix a totally broke country? Broken infrastructure, broken finances, broken government, and a government that declared war on it's own people, both financially as required by the IMF and militarily. Hey, the USA and the EU broke it; why shouldn't Putin leave it in their hands so they are responsible for fixing it?

A lot of people are already speculating that Ukraine will be a bigger IMF failure than Greece, and may well rank up there with it's biggest failures ever.

Jesus Christ on a polo stick. What's so difficult to understand about that?
