Yeah, saw the movie and the U.S. gets away with much bullshit yet going to happen. Not the most reliable news source you posted but cyberwarfare has begun and with legitimate news sources it is about 150,000 know around the boarder. Think they invade within a week and no one wants nukes throughout the world so I think they take it with economic and other sanctions.
Not listening to this idiot. Took me all of 20 seconds.
In Utah they just posted on the news that Rush was dead and the one year anniversary as he is a hero here. Not to me. I didn't even know he had died and I follow the news closely.
Watch whoever you want.
Time to watch some Bill Maher. He is still alive and pot is better than pain killers, literally.

Eastern Ukraine has been begging for foreign assistance to stop the killing of their people. Russia finally decided to help, and recognized Donetsk and Luhansk, and moved in peacekeeping forces. Here was the local reaction to the "invasion/occupation":
Don't believe it? There's PLENTY more out there for me post.
Does Ukraine dare continue with the killings? We'll see.

What's "jerkier language"?
The difference between Iraqis cheering and Donetskans (if that's what to call them) cheering is that most Donetskans actually like Russia, while Iraqis cheering was oftentimes an Army psychological operation.
I've been to Crimea after the referendum. People there are VERY pro-Russian. I've seen countless videos from inside Donetsk. It's appears to be similar.

Trump was impressed.
Quote:
In an interview on 'The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show', Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics in eastern Ukraine was a "genius" and "pretty smart" move.
“Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper,” Mr. Trump said. “That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re going to keep peace, all right. No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy.”
He even suggested a ‘peace force’ like that would be useful for the southern border of the United States.

Heya! Are you trying to say you think only a small handful of people in Donetsk support separating from Ukraine? Because that's what everyone was saying about Crimea, and I went there and found Crimea overwhelmingly supports Russia.

Russia tried a lot harder than puddling around, but if you only read the mainstream media you won't hear about all their efforts. They finally did some clever footwork to try and end the slaughter.

Only 6 people died when Crimea rejoined Russia. It'll be interesting how hard Ukrainians are willing to fight Russia.

You're making the same point that Stable Genius was trying to make. "Welp, it's probably only a handful of Eastern Ukrainians who support Russia". Same thing I heard about Crimea.
Like I said, I went to Crimea and spoke with dozens and dozens of people around the peninsula, and found that the vast majority of Crimeans really do support Russia. And a poll taken right after Euromaidan showed that only 10% of Eastern Ukrainians wanted to stay with Ukraine. I was unable to find more current numbers, but I suspect it's even higher given all the killings of Eastern Ukrainians by Western/Central Ukrainians.

There were many different polls taken.
Quote:
An opinion poll that was taken on the day of the referendum and the day before by a correspondent of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The Washington Post, and five other media outlets found that of those people who intended to vote, 94.8% would vote for independence. Even with those who said they would not vote counted in, a 65.6% majority supported separation from Ukraine.
Frankfurter Allgemeine
Quote:
In the referendum in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, according to the separatists, 89 percent of respondents were in favor of secession from Kiev. A sample survey by the F.A.Z. and six other media outlets also pointed to an overwhelming majority.

There are two conflicting versions of the story. How would you determine which is real if not going to the very source?
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Like I said, I went to Crimea and spoke with dozens and dozens of people around the peninsula, and found that the vast majority of Crimeans really do support Russia. And a poll taken right after Euromaidan showed that only 10% of Eastern Ukrainians wanted to stay with Ukraine. I was unable to find more current numbers, but I suspect it's even higher given all the killings of Eastern Ukrainians by Western/Central Ukrainians.
Journalists travelling to those regions had to get permission from the Ukraine army, then from the separatists in charge... How is it that Eastern Ukraine people are being murdered if they control the region with over 90%? support?... it sort of doesn't add up.

I don't understand why you think this doesn't add up. The Ukrainian Army simply goes to Eastern Ukraine and fights with the Eastern Ukrainians, that's how.

Excellent!!! Now if I spoke with 50 random people from all over Crimea, who all told me the same thing, what is the probably that thing is true? 
Let me know if you need help with the calculation, or if you were just hoping I don't understand statistics (math was one of my three majors).

I majored in math, with a concentration in statistics. My other two majors are here.
This is very simple probability, which requires no degree.
If the general population is split about whether the majority supports Russia or not, then the odds of 50 people giving me the same answer is 0.5^50, or about 0.0000000000000888%
So the data I gathered is EXTREMELY reliable and HIGHLY unlikely to be wrong.

You didn’t randomly sample the general population. I’m doubtful someone on the pro-Ukraine side would be openly revealing their loyalties to a Putin apologist like yourself, or to Russian separatists running a poll. Give us a break.
You came back here after a six month absence to shamelessly shill for Putin.

More make believe? 
I randomly spoke with people all over Crimea. It doesn't get more random than that. The only time it wasn't random is when I went out of my way to find people who were opposed to Crimea leaving Ukraine. Even they agreed the vast majority of Crimeans wanted to leave Ukraine.
By intentionally seeking such people out, the odds of everyone agreeing most Crimeans wanted to leave Russia is even lower than what I posted above.

So you randomly sampled 50 people and every single one wanted to leave Ukraine even though 10% of the population wanted to remain based on polling. Your result is extremely unlikely.
This whole story about you going on a fact finding mission is total bullshit. Roaming the country side playing Gallup. Whatever. You’ve always been full of shit. I see no reason why anyone should believe your testimony. You are irredeemably biased.

No, I said every single one of them agreed that the vast majority of people in Crimea wanted to leave.
I stated that I spoke with people who didn't want to leave.

No one I spoke with in Crimea disputed the Crimean election results is my point. They felt it was close to what they expected.
Do think the US Presidential election results were reasonably close to what you expected?

My claim was that no one I spoke with in Crimea disputed the Crimean election results in a random sampling of 50 people. That means it very highly likely that most people in Crimea agree with the election results.

Well shit. Staring this thread, thought it would be bad but not this bad.
Seeing all those people trying to drive out of Kyiv, I dated a woman from there once and she doesn't like the Russians and that was awhile ago. Now my brother married one last year and they lived in the Federation for a bit. Now I just say as they live off my mothers and late fathers money, fuck zee Russians and Putin.
They are both in the U.S. now with her teen kid and, will stay here. Needless to say.
Wow that happened quickly. Nice surprise move.

It's not a matter of preference, at least not mine. You could prefer to be right and say validity or absolutely wrong and say reliability.

I would like you to source that your 50 conversations were a random sampling.
After that, we can start focusing on sources backing up that these conversations actually happened.

Do you trust Gallup?
Quote:
Gallup conducted an immediate post-referendum survey of Ukraine and Crimea and published their results in April 2014. Gallup reported that, among the population of Crimea, 93.6% of ethnic Russians and 68.4% of ethnic Ukrainians believed the referendum result accurately represents the will of the Crimean people. Only 1.7% of ethnic Russians and 14.5% of ethnic Ukrainians living in Crimea thought that the referendum results didn't accurately reflect the views of the Crimean people.
Of course, most of Crimea is ethnic Russian. So you don't have to believe me, there are plenty of other sources confirming what I said.
Granted this information means in my sample of 50 people, I should have found about 3 (on average) who didn't believe the results. Oh well. 
And only 14.5% of Ukrainians didn't believe the referendum results. It's people from other countries who know nothing about Crimea who like to believe the results aren't real.

There are allot of Russians that don't want their soldiers dying invading Ukrainian . I went to Russia once , everyone I met said Putin is an embarrassment and a psychopath . I've never met a single Russian here or in Russia that supports Putin .
Quote:
MOSCOW — Shocked Russians turned out by the thousands Thursday to decry their country's invasion of Ukraine as emotional calls for protests grew on social media. Some 1,745 people in 54 Russian cities were detained, at least 957 of them in Moscow.
Hundreds of posts came pouring in condemning Moscow's most aggressive actions since the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Vladimir Putin called the attack a "special military operation" to protect civilians in eastern Ukraine from "genocide" — a false claim the U.S. had predicted would be a pretext for invasion, and which many Russians roundly rejected.
Tatyana Usmanova, an opposition activist in Moscow, wrote on Facebook that she thought she was dreaming when she awoke at 5:30 a.m. to the news, which she called "a disgrace that will be forever with us now."

Of course. And there are a lot who don't want Eastern Ukrainians to be slaughtered either, but thousands have been killed since 2014.

Then you probably didn't talk to very many Russians, since his approval rating has historically been around 60% or more (which about the approval I've noticed from all the Russians I've spoken with).

Hopefully Russians will put a bullet in their dictator’s head. They’ve been pushovers for a century. It’s time they get off their weak lazy drunk asses and stand up for themselves and stop being a third world country

US intelligence says Putin may start targeting civilians due to stronger resistance. Should be noted that this intelligence has been spot on concerning Ukraine and Russia. The guy who was saying this last week said the invasion would start exactly when it started.

He’s not a child. He’s the Russian ambassador to the Shroomery
If the Russian people support Putin then we should freeze all Russian assets. Ban all travel. Cut them off and make them suffer until they do something about their government. Make their lives miserable.

That's an example of a choice Biden made , in an alternate universe perhaps .
The Russian military crossing into Ukrainian would be an example of a choice made by Putin .

Ok then, fighting back with Russia is a choice the Ukrainians made. It's their fault if they lose lives as a result. Anyone can play your silly games.

Ukraine says it shot down a Russian transport plane with over 100 troops on board. The only good Russian soldier is a dead Russian soldier.

The reason Ukraine has no nuclear weapons is they agreed to give them up in return for Russia agreeing to not violate their sovereignty.

Russian cruise missile or some kind of large shell goes right through a residential high rise outside of Kyiv near the airport. Russians are trying to take it right now. Two transport planes taken down overnight 350+ Russians dead. Russian tanks were destroyed trying to enter Kyiv. Reports are that civilians have successfully prevented Russian soldiers from entering the city with heavy casualties.

It's a REALLY weird position to take that: US wars of aggression were bad, therefore this Russian war of aggression is OK.
If anything, this war proves that Ukraine had a good fucking reason to be pursuing NATO membership.

Yes, US wars of aggression are bad. Yes, Russian wars of aggression are bad.
The point is that Russia didn't want to invade, they just wanted security and the US/Ukraine gave Russia the finger. So now Russia has to fight for its security.

A simple question: are the tanks of the 'collective West' now entering Russian territory? Or is it Russian tanks entering the territory of Ukraine?
By answering this question, you can easily understand who is pursuing the imperialist policy in this particular conflict.

They didn’t want to invade. You are priceless. Holy shit. They invaded. The west doesn’t owe Russia anything and Ukraine can choose to ally with who ever they want. Russia doesn’t have the right to dictate anything, especially by force.

What I've been saying is that Russia tried to avoid war, but the US/Ukraine ignored anything they said, and now Russia is finally doing something about their security being ignored.
Yes, Russia is the aggressor now, but it's clear to anyone who's been following the background of this (I don't know if you watched some of the longer videos I recently posted) that Russia's current actions are quite expected.

And the US has that right? What? We're the ones who orchestrated the coup against Ukraine's democratically elected President to make them a US puppet.

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I’m not doing the whataboutism. Even if your premise is accurate, that changes nothing. Russia has no right to invade Ukraine.

Wow. Modern warfare. "Russia moves in heavy flamethrower weapon."
That is amazing, sets the air on fire and takes all the oxygen out of ones lungs. Is just so strange a industrialized nation where they are giving guns to citizens to fight and was surprised that they are just kind of giving weapons from other industrialized countries to the Ukraine but won't go full in because of the threat of the nuke and Putin saying we will all basically go heaven anyway which made me laugh.
Will be interesting when Kyiv falls and I think they will stop with the Ukraine. Germany, like the Norm McDonald joke, in world war 1 and 2 said, it us declaring war on the world. Which I also found amusing.
I get what Russia is doing and the reasons for it. Not for it but get it. Next week will be interesting.
Those 15 guys on that island before dying saying fuck you when the warship said to surrender before killed. Wow.

He's bringing in those weapons to terrorize civilians . I'm curious why it is you think this type of aggression against a peaceful country is understandable ?

Falcon has a very funny idea of what a "peacekeeping force" is. Speaking right as Russia is lobbing missles at apartment buildings and little kids. Extremely peaceful. I need to consult a dictionary.

It's a mostly peaceful peace keeping force!
