Putin Human Rights Council Accidentally Posts REAL Crimean Elec Result-Only 15% Voted For Annexation

75. Let me get this straight...

the Eastern Ukraine is at each others throats, where the claim is that the majority perhaps 60% is pro-Russian;

but the Crimea, which according to you is supposedly 85% anti-Russian, is meekly sitting there not protesting - when the Russian troops on the ground there would be such easy targets for a provocation? But there has not been one provocation in Crimea since the time since the election. Every last Crimean is absolutely terrified of the Russians? Not one right wing nutbag there would go out and shoot a Russian for the glory of Bandera?

The numbers simply do not pass the test of common sense, given the situation on the ground in Crimea.

Plus, these really, really evil Russian guys are sooo clever, EXCEPT they are sooooooo stupid as to put this data anywhere near an official website. If these numbers were true, they would have been written only on the typewriters that the Russians have been buying and, then, locked in a safe somewhere far from the internet. Its as if Karl Rove kept the 2004 Ohio election results on the GOP website and accidentally put them on line on Innauguration Day. Un-believable.

You want the Russians to be brilliant and brain dead at the same time, as it suits the neocon party line.

The whole thing is an absurd concoction. Right down there with "a Nigerian prince has left you $10 M. All you have to do to collect it..."

Yeah, yeah, its on a website in Russia. Well, gee, as I recall, the FBI got hacked a while back; and Eastern Europe is a hotbed of hackers. But you go believe this, if it gives you a righteous anger high.

Meanwhile, just today, the SCOTUS just declared the US to be a military dictatorship (Chris Hedges NDAA decision), and destroyed the first amendment barrier between Church and State; an NYC judge threw an Occupy protestor in jail for seven years on a felony count for having a reflex reaction to being pawed by the NYPD. In other news, we refuse to spend on infrastructure; we are demolishing public education and the post office; and we refuse to arrest gangs of right wing thugs openly threatening Federal officers.

But your highest priority is to regurgitate the latest propaganda designed to restart the Cold War for the profit of the MIC, with a side order of "security threat" for the homeland(sic). Always money for the MIC. Never money for the 99%.

I continue to be gobsmacked at the resurgent Red-scare and cheerleading for war (this would be our sixth involvement in 13 years) on display at DU.
