Are you going to let yourself be bullied in the friggin internet????

That Ukraine Live Blog had an unsubstantiated report that Russian troops were massing near that corner where the Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia borders converge.  This happens to be the Russian territory that is closest to Kiev.

That area is pretty much ground zero for the Chernobyl radiation.

Do you need a quick explanation of how radiation and radioactive pollution works?

Quit being such a filthy Russopologist.

The Russian is close to the same as the line from The Simpsons.

But noone will ever know, because it's in Russian.

Poland reportedly moving troops to the Ukraine border.

Let's hope they don't face tanks.

The Invasion Of Crimea Is Russia's Worst Foreign Policy Blunder In A Generation

I agree.

Only if Russia loses.

An Israeli fails to understand the negative diplomatic and economic consequences of annexing a small scrap of land from a neighboring country.  Somehow unsurprising. 

Or correctly points out that there won't be much of one.

i haven't altered my points at all. all i've seen coming from you is insults, not actual arguments. i made a few replies to your posts earlier in the thread, but you ignored them.. then out of no where just came a full out attack where you accused me of a lot of things. it was seriously bizarre, and i'm still not sure where the hostility stemmed from. it was a real chris christie moment. but if you're backing out of the discussion, that's fine. and i might have to consider taco bell once i've graduated from law school

That's just the way Otto is.  he cannot imagine anyone disagreeing with him unless they are somehow mentally defective, and he expects you to burst into tears when he changes one of the syllables in your user name to "fag."  You have to either try to think like a fourth-grader and respond to his stuff in the same emotional vein in which he posts, or just laugh and point.  There's no sense even trying to pretend you can engage him intellectually.  Sounds like you are going for option 2.  Good.  That's where the smart money goes.

A little more on the propaganda front...reading an article on Vesti.ru, on the "history" of Ukraine's borders...

Executive summary:

Ukraine's borders originated from a Wilsonian plan for dividing up the Russian Empire's western border post WWI, including an independent Ukraine owning Crimea...at the behest of U.S. intelligence services. During WW2, Ukrainian nationalists collaborate with Nazis, massacre Jews and Poles.  And in the end, Ukraine has it's western border that was set by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, and was given the Crimea by Khrushchev...which ironically, is what U.S. intelligence had wanted all along.

What the fuck is Lacroix doing in this thread?

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in OvB's and Seige's opinions on this.

I'm not one of them, and I would like to understand the joke. Can you provide a translation?

So you're a fucking asshole then?
