In reply to the discussion: Ukraine in 48-hour ultimatum to east's pro-Russia activists [View all]go west young man
(4,856 posts)13. Your point fails in that...
we were the ones who fomented the coup d'etat in Ukraine along with the far right elements. We helped create Frankensteins monster. When playing chess, you can't suddenly be pissed off at the other player because you opened the door to a move and they took advantage and walked right through it. Your post falls apart because Russia did not make the first move and now you blame them for destabilization in Europe. It's a ruse. The threat to peace and stability was obviously thought about(not too wisely)by our government. Maybe you can spread the blame around a bit as they seem to have fucked up on foreign policy once again.

It's also bad to make presumptive statements which you can't back up with real facts.

Yeah, that's almost as bad as making unwarrented, generalized accusations with intent to slander.

Yeah, all pretense of who the "activists" and "protesters" really are has since melted away.

Maybe the activists should try burning tires and throwing fireworks in the town center

No, they're more of the kidnapping journalists and killing politician types.
