It's the ultimate fantasy of the Tranzies (Transnational Progressives) to do away with nationalism, but as shown time and again, the actual cultural substitute is a return to tribalism.

My series of articles on the situation in Ukraine resulted in a number of interviews from Canada to Russia, with more scheduled. It also produced emotional rants from people of Ukrainian descent whose delusions are impenetrable by facts. Deranged Russophobes dismissed as propaganda the easily verifiable report of Assistant Secretary of State Nuland's public address last December, in which she boasted that Washington had spent $5 billion preparing Ukraine to be aligned with Washington's interests. Protest sympathizers claim that the intercepted telephone call between Nuland and the US Ambassador in Ukraine, in which the two US officials chose the government that would be installed following the coup, is a fake.
One person actually suggested that my position should be aligned with the "sincerity of the Kiev students," not with the facts. Some idiots are still haven't grasped that nowadays the enemy is among us---not in Moscow

Followed that link. Man there are a lot of Jew-hating wack jobs in the world aren't there? Then there are the plain ol' wackos, sickies and Democrats....

Yeah, there seems to be a complete disconnect between Venezuela and or Kazakhstan/Thailand violence and Ukraine goings-on. Alot of name calling and what-not.
#7
They're completely disconnected if you haven't been paying attention for the last decade and a half. What's happening in Venezuela is happening because Putin's proxies managed to steal elections for the last decade and a half and pretty much destroyed Venezuela's economy and ability-to-produce-oil, which is where Putin gets his power.

The relevance is, you've apparently divided the world into Russian Nationalists vs. tranzi internationalist stooges. I am merely pointing out one place where the Russian Nationalists have turned a country into a a decrepit bankrupt colony of theirs, in such a manner that we should recognize as the behavior of an enemy.
This should concern you because the people they use as proxies have a) been massively antisemetic in the recent past (as in the last five years) b) their alliances involve not only Russia but other countries that are also enemies of yours (i.e. Iran).

And did you notice mass media dealing with Venezuela the way they deal with Ukraine? Did you wonder why not?
p.s. How about you Americans focus on freeing your own country? Because I can assure you, the regime you have now will evolve into something that would've made Pol Pot shudder.

Hey, the United States has Alzheimer's. I realize that. My pointing out that we should be doing _effective_ things against Putin (for instance, stop writing him checks and stop supporting his economy by deindustrializing ours in the name of global warming) is part of how I am trying to counter the dementia both here and elsewhere.
It would be nice if the rest of the world really was going to leave us alone while we fixed things, but I don't think this is the case, and I think those who say otherwise are a bunch of wilfully blind idiot tranzis.
#11
Thing, all I'm saying is just think who benefited by all "Western" interventions in the last 20 years. Can you give me one example of it being (never mind good guys) somebody we can live with?

We cleaned FARC out of Colombia and when we invaded Iraq we got Gaddafi to give up a whole lot of intel about the AQ Khan network. Apparently a lot of that intel was useful in providing hardware examples (centrifuges and industrial controllers for same) that were used to help write the Stuxnet virus.
And yes, President Idiot has managed to throw away Iraq and he's working hard (and succeeding) at throwing away the couple years' worth of grace we got from Stuxnet. (And, I'd note, in the process threw away the ability to do anything about Syria and Lebanon, which are Iran's Airstrip/Rocket-launching-pad One).

I think Iraq was doomed to become an Iranian dependent the moment power was transferred to Shia majority.
I recall several years back media stories about how the strength of Iraqi nationalist sentiments would overcome shia sunni differences. A load of BS.
The Left always views the world as a morality tale, with good and bad actors, which it rarely is.
As for Ukraine, the calls for unity will only set the scene for violent separation. Better to accept its going to happen and do it in a peaceful negotiated way.
#3
So, grom, you oppose "for many Ukrainians means something like the rule of law, the absence of fear, the end of corruption, the social welfare state, and free markets without intimidation from syndicates controlled by the president."
Thanks for taking off your mask you fascist little f..k

Its just good OWG Globalism + "Co-Superpolarity".
As per the ARTIC, "America has a bigger problem ..." > actually, it has TWO.
Namely,
> That Shia Rising Iran can prevent the Qaeda Boyz + prevent the prolferation of any NUke-WMD Tech to MilTerr Groups as Iran has times said it would or that can.
> That Anti-Globalist Islamists + Non-Aligned + "those not in the know", etc. in Iran + Islamic World won't become inspired by Iran hav ing the Bomb = Pan/Inter-Muslim Nuclear Arms Race to attack the US-Allies + non-Islamic World in the name of Allan's righteous Global Jihad, to include the US Globalist agenda of Amerikan unilateral rollback across Asia-Pacific + around the World back to CONUS.

If other countries said that any nuclear attack on them would be assumed from Iran, and Iran would meet with total destruction, that would give the MMs pause...maybe

According to an internet media outlet report Sunday at least four writers associated with conservative websites and several websites identified with conservatism, denied taking money through a foreign agent to write favorable press about the now deposed Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych two years ago.
Although the story was filed Sunday by Buzzfeed writer Rosey Gray back in July of 2013, another website, Boing Boing reissued the story this weekend.
Among the websites included in the Buzzfeed story were Breitbart, Red State and Pajamas Media, and four of the writers named in the story included Warner Todd Huston, Breeanne Howe, Ben Shapiro of Breitbart and Seton Motley.
According to the story, money and public relations data had flowed from Ukraina through a Belgium conduit identified as the "European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, a Brussels-based group headed by Leonid Khazara, a former senior member of parliament from the pro-Russian Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions", according to the Buzzfeed article.
One of the reasons that foreign agent registry laws were not invoked were that two American lobbying firms, including the Podesta Group, Clark & Weinstock, were not required to disclose monetary transfers to writers from the foreign government. Because Belgium has far more relaxed disclosure laws, little was mentioned in any of the resulting stories and blog posts of the nexus. Nor were, apparently, direct payments to writers and bloggers who parroted Ukrainian talking points disclosed.
According to a Reuters article published last December the Ukrainian front group paid since 2012, $1.46 million to the two firms, with $900,000 going to the Podesta group. The Podesta Group is headed by lobbyist Anthony Podesta, the brother of democratic political fixer John Podesta, who is now working with the White House of Barak Obama.
Former Minnesota republican Congressman Vin Weber is the managing partner to Clark & Weinstock lobbying firm.
At least one of the basic payments was for $500 for favorable blog posts, but no mention in the Buzzfeed article was made about other transfers for journalistic pieces.
One of the American paymasters was identified as George Scoville, a Virginia based political consultant who has published columns about media with the Daily Caller news website.
Scoville's name came up in the article when Ben Shapiro, a writer for Breitbart mentioned actually not receiving any money from Scoville for his articles, adding he has received no money from sources other than his employer.
A less clear denial was issued by Warner Todd Huston who refused to disclose in the Buzzfeed article who was paying him for his work. While Huston admitted getting pitches for news articles from Scoville -- the only writer mentioned in the article who did admit receiving pitches for stories from Scoville -- he denied he was paid for his work. The Buzzfeed article goes on to mention that at least some Huston's work for the Ukrainians was nearly identical to Shapiro's.
Huston's work, according to the Buzzfeed article appeared on "...Family Security Matters, a website that used to be run by the Center for Security Policy, operated by Frank Gaffney. Other [Huston] posts appeared on small sites like Right Wing News, Chicago Now's Publius Forum, and Canada Free Press."
Another article which used data directly from Scoville appeared in Human Events, while a second article appeared in Pajamas Media. Both of those articles were written by Seton Motley. As with Huston and Shapiro, Motley denied he was paid anything by Scoville.
However, Scoville refused to deny he was the paymaster to writers, but he failed to detail who and by what amounts, nor, according to the Buzzfeed article, would he mention the nature of his ties to the Ukrainians.

Four conservative writers denied taking money. That's the story? Really? Sounds like a mud slinging piece pure and simple. Having the money filtered through Podesta is just baffling.

Massive disrespect now. Government is mostly against the people they are supposed to serve. Among law enforcement of all types they fail to realize disrespect among their own ranks. Look at what you could face, baby killers, human rights violations, prosecution in the world court. If you look like a Nazi, sound like a Nazi, you will also be a liberal. Liberals will be the ones calling for interment camps. The more power you give them the greater failures you will experience. Look at the drug war. It is huge problem now and its everywhere. Solution legalize it. Sweep it under the rug. Next need will be aid program for drugs like food stamps. Well we have that now but its about to get much bigger. Among young people it is normal way of life. They know how to take drugs of all types and don't even know or want to learn how to cook a meal.

I don't believe legallizing drugs has anything to do with sweeping the problem under the rug. It has to do with (a) policies have failed (b) police have overreached (c) Not the governments business what citizens do when it harms noone but themselves.
Yes not all drugs are equal and not all should be legalized and yada, yada, yada. Disagree with that as you will but don't misrepresent it.
