if the kyiv regime is so bad for ukrainians why did the russians then calculate that it would be too hard to fight off all the ensuing urban warfare? so the row of tanks going into kyiv was just a feint. OMG the RT propaganda works in spades or in tanks in your case. this is an answer to the various justifications of the putin invasion of ukraine. all the while you guys base your arguments on the belief that ukrainians are just stooges for the US. stooges who are willing to fight urban warfare. you guys are unbelievable in a very sad sad way. how can RT feed you such powerful koolaide. sad for the US, sad for ukraine, sad for the world in general.

look, i should appreciate your attempt to be fair, and i do, and esp your attempt to be understanding. so that's very nice. but you still think you know better than ukrainians themselves. it makes no sense (to me at least) to say that there are so few ukrainians. ukraine is tiny compared to the russian bully. so of course there will be only a few ukrainians. you think the biggest suffering is in the last 30 years? clearly you are not aware of the genocidal famine of the early 30's? ukraine has been a colony of russia for centuries and this is what putin wants to restore. so no, not the US, not nuland, not any of the excuses wiwth which russian propaganda has convinced the folks here.

and even russia has started buying its soldiers in india etc

This complaint that Ukraine has been a colony of Russia rings dully when we can see that what is happening is to make Ukraine a colony of the United States and to not let Yanukovych negotiate with Russia for better LNG prices than they could get from the West like that. See "Ukraine on Fire" with interviews by Oliver Stone and Robert Parry. The US wouldn't even let Ukraine do any business with Russia which is a ridiculous idea since that is their neighbor and we are all the way across the ocean.

This is about big US money going into some pockets over there and hiring a bunch of people to come and harass anybody that criticizes the situation.

The United States has to dominate everything all over the world including at Russia's border which is a ridiculous idea.

Even Obama stated clearly that he knew that Ukraine was more Russia strategic interest being at its border than it would be for the United States to whom it is just a game. Watch Jeffrey Sachs' discussion May 15 with Glenn Greenwald. The long version has a section from 21 minutes in to about 50 or 58 minutes in that addresses it.
