Russian riot police raid Crimean Tatar TV channel

[Xolodno]

7. As expected...

Thread turned into trashing "Putinistas"

Have an honest discussion about:

1. Territory doesn't really belong to either Russia or Ukraine and the Tatar nation should be restored....Nope.

2. Discuss how the peninsula is a strategic area for Russia and Krushev's "gifting" it to Ukraine may not have been legal in the first place? Nope.

3. Discuss about how Ukraine used Crimea and the Russian lease's as leverage that sooner or later would provoke Russia...Nope.

4. Discuss how during the early part of this crisis the US and EU seemed willing to give the area away to Russia and still don't hear of any serious discussion of it becoming part of Ukraine? Nope.

5. Discuss how the sanctions seem to be doing the opposite of changing Russia's position and may actually force Russia into doing a full out invasion of Ukraine? Nope.

6. Discuss the lives lost, hardships, etc. due to the high power checkers game USA and Russia are playing? Nope.

Nah...gotta have trash Putin and have some schadenfreude at the Russian economy and read posts that borderline championing the return of a cold war. Romney would be proud.
