So true, even the soldiers want no part of this bullshit the politicians have created, they just want to live life and have a good time.

We are all human. Reminds me of that Sting song: Sting - Russians. Btw I'm curious how you italicized your text lol. I only know *bold*

Jw4n9 _italics_ is with an underscore "_" before and after the text and you can also -strikethroughs- with a dash "-".

Abraham Williams Much appreciated. Now I can express myself better in comments lol. Funny how changing the way a word looks can do that.

Absolutely spot on. Exactly my thoughts.

lol, I believe their local Ukrainians,

yea, i see that now... lol. made that first comment as they were marching into eachothers backs, then realized that yes, it probably is their first time marching in formation... either way, they still "rack disciprine"

mhm, yeah I totally agree, xD

It is just like the Nazi fighters back in WW2 when the Soviet strom the Berlin and the Nazi have to armed all the teenage. The difference is only you are freely to join the Crimean army.

LMG Light-Machine-Gun I'd think its more similar to the french when they had to join hitlerian forces during the occupation of Europe by the Nazis.

idk about these guys exactly but some soldiers who are fighting for russia that have died have been shown with passports with there town as crimea

​@@CaptainMartinWalkerты кто?

Haha exactly what I thought... Though,.. GET OUT OF HERE STALKER.

The whole thing is made up by Putin's own ambitions. Crimea has no right to do anything like that: not by inner Ukraine's law, not by international law. The referendum, russian troops, the borders blockage, self-defense forces made up of local and foreign russian criminals. This is the biggest international crime you can possibly imagine. But things like this happened before: you can revise Sudeten Crisis in 1938 when Hitler took a land of his neighbor in exactly same way Putin is taking Crimea now. Back then a world community just gave it away and... well, you know what happened next.

war love Jesus. I'm having a hard time understanding a single word you say. The thing is - i am russian and crimean. I've been at Maidan from november to february and now i see what's happening in my homeland with my own eyes. I've heard everything our new government said and how it was made up as something related to Nazism by Russian television. I see how russian troops, military vehicles, battle ships, submarines, helicopters, artillery are coming every day. I know who Aksenov and Konstantinov (the head of our new self-proclaimed government) are and exactly why they serve Putin now. I know exactly why this referendum is illegal. I've seen all kinds of criminal acts taken by these self-proclaimed local defense forces. Take a note: instead of supporting everything civilized community considers unacceptable, try to find out the truth behind everything your local television tells you. Don't believe russian, ukrainian or whatever media you'r watching. Search for facts or see with your own eyes. Then you'll be free from all the shit they are feeding you with.

MrFarover so I have to ask, where does the actual populance of crimea stand? Do they want to join russia? Additionally, how much of the kiev'en type protesters are actually neo-nazi's? During times of revolution, extremist powers tend to grow and rise through the chaos, and having neo-nazi's clawing up to power in kiev could be just as dangerous as Crimea separating from the Ukraine. I'm an american BTW I just would love to hear a perspective that isn't skewed as fuck.

***** Neo-Nazis is a misnomer. They've been shit on by Moscow for years and certainly frame some of their protest in a free Ukraine, but most of the Russian news crap about Neo-Nazis is like that rule for internet blogs, eventually in every blog someone gets called a Nazi. There is no discrimination, the Ukraine did however try to re-vitalize their language, outlawed by the Soviets (ie RUssians) for 60 years and so now they do signs in Ukrainian, passports, and the like, not Russian. Soviet colonists thus feel they are being shit on, but it's no different than using Irish place names over anglicized ones in Ireland. Go to Russia, where I live, lots of people with swastika tatoos, but 95% of people are just regular folk, and some nationalists are just that, not Nazis.

naponroy I'm hugely against swastikas, what they represent is brutal and disgusting, but I can understand what you're getting at, however even though they are normal people standing by a revolution revolving around discrimination is a wrong path to take IMO. I'm by no means rooting for the bastard putin, but I sincerely hope that the nationalist movement doesn't move towards neo-nazi elements. Also don't listen to idiots who believe that Crimea wants to separate it's so fucking obviously a goddamn hoax by Putin it's so stupid, this is like WWII all over again.

Wait until they decide to invade all of Ukraine ur mind will be blown

haha thats what i was thinking too

just wait the referendum didn't happen yet

There will be many protests in other eastern parts of Ukraine, I guess.

well I would like to know more and see more...Well Its not end of the world that Crimea is russian...I support Ukraine and hope they will have good future...and hope so does crimeans...

THAT WAS A BILLION YEARS AGO

Whataboutism

This didnt age good

Nobody is going to ask those "Crimeans". They were brought on the places of the native Crimeans, who were deported by Stalin.

They were reborn under Russia, their standard of living doubled in few years. While Ukraine that claimed Crime is theirs, cut them water and electricity supply for years

They don’t even have running water anymore. Thanks Putin

it was shit

Lel where did you go to school? North Korea?

Robjeysimpson they probably where to cautious to do anything else because firing a gun makes noise and then Russia will think its a threat you know but that’s just me but I would probably do the same but make them get stronger you know what am just going to shut up.....

These people still think that the Soviet Union exists.

That's simple, Russia will tell them that if they cut off supplies to Crimea, Russia cuts off gas supplies to Ukraine.

Kostia Kaploon And when Ukraine says 'Go for it, you're now under sanctions anyway."'? I mean, you realize this isn't much of a threat at this point, yes? Winter's almost over, and the EU has enough gas stockpiled they can very likely supply much of Ukraine's previously-Russian imported gas for the time being. 30% of EU's nat. gas comes from Russia, sure, but 70% of Russia's energy exports go to EU (much of it through Ukraine) and their economy is already shitting the metaphorical bed - which of those two do you think is going to be hurting worse when that cut-off happens, eh?

Kostia Kaploon I wonder how long the Russian economy would survive when they cut off 70% of their export in one go.

I've seen a report by another journalist that showed Russia is transporting telecommunication towers, electricity generators and so on through the Kerch strait into Crimea so they are preparing for that

MrVaaran How are they paying for it? Also: It does not matter what the referendum says. It can not become a part of Russia, international law is clear on this.

But the people of the autonomous region of Crimea decided to hold a referendum. Why won't the usa take its base at okinawa back home?

utubewatchinhesk Unconditional surrender. What they signed says that the US needs to be there to help defend from foreign aggressors, because they cant have a real standing military.

If Maine wanted to join Canada but the US wouldn't let them, would it be an invasion if we went? How about Alaska. It's still an invasion

***** If it's wrong when America does it, its wrong when Russia does it. If you read the OP then my comment it would make sense instead of trolling for arguments

SliC3oFicE Right right... But when America does it Russia sits back and watches, including the rest of the world knowing that the USA government is fueled by this sort of BULLSHIT. The Shock Doctrine; The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, read a book you trolls... And FYI Ukraine is Russia's backyard, ain't nobody gunna take that from Russia, even the people of Ukraine know this... I believe it's time that the citizens of the world finally stepped up and spoke with a unified voice against this sort of BS(oh UN UN... fuck UN, it's just a group of bullies/gangsters worsening the situation in the world)... People waken ze up. If yall wanna collaborate, yall know where I'm at.

Russia's history begins in Ukraine, so it would be naive to say that it is not Her backyard. I'll be honest with you, I think Putin is the devil, but so is Obama; people get too caught up in the politica and feel like they must jump in to defend their side... But hear this... People, in general, want the exact same things; peace, wealth and love... The greed of the individuals governing any place in the world deserves not to represent its people. I don't think bloodshed is required for humanities future, we can all come to harmony by ridding the world of these evil individuals that talk about UN or EU or any other governing body... We are but products in the machine.. Waging war for people we don't know, for reasons we don't truly understand... Maybe its time for change... Not that Obamanation kind of change but something real and positive... I look forward to hearing from you :D

Osama Binladen A lot of nations history begins in others backyards, but if you read of some of the mistreatment that happened to the Ukraine under the Stalins rule, you can see why they would be reluctant to go back to Russia and instead want to give the EU a try.

The ski mask has replaced the brown shirt. Now they can take them off, stop pretending to not be Russian troops, hopefully go back "home". Maybe the Cossacks will hang around to smack around the 20% non-voters and 5% "no" voters who did vote. Oh, and the motorcycle gang leader, too...

Yeah yeah yeah, then get prepared to get blown to pieces.

Moe Joe Yeah i know haha i think its the accent lol idk

+++++ hahahhhaa best coment

The problem is if the US and NATO sit this one out, it's not the people of the region that will "solve the issue", it will be the warlords (under Putin) who will just divide a defenseless piece of land, regardless of people.

Well not the play the ignorant American card, but I've only been alive for 23 years, and we have been at war for last 12, again, I sincerely believe this isn't our business.

This is Russia getting it's forces closer to Europe, that's the reason NATO and the US got involved in the first place. Because if Ukraine falls, next door is Poland, and that's NATO territory already. This is the start of the second cold war, let's just hope it doesn't lead to the third world one.

I really don't think it is, even under Putin, Russians have more freedom than Soviet Russia under Gorbachev, the Russian military is 1/5th the size of what is was during the 70's and 80's, there are protests in Moscow discrediting the seemingly great respect Putin has from all Russians. All of these things wouldn't be possible under the old Soviet regime. There are not proxy wars occurring currently in South America and Indochina sponsored by the West or Pro-Communist countries, and the West and Russia have gone through a period of spending cuts on military. There is also the caveat that for Ukraine to be a sovereign nation, they had to return all of their nuclear assets to Russia, in which they agreed, basically Putin is moving on a non-nuclear power, something he couldn't do with Poland. I disagree that this is another cold war, the cold war is over, and has been over since 91', what we are seeing is modern day countries being active in their own spheres of influence.

This aged so badly I think I might have a stroke.

Go fuck yourself if you're for Putin. That's my country.

lol the Russian army cant even march as one.

ROFL! Get out of your hole and go explore it. Only China competes against it.

Drij1986 It is not the Russian army , the green recruits citizens of Crimea aimed at the protection of public order.

Only brainwashed Russians buy your kremlin propaganda. Putin keeps atacking one country after another. Few years ago it was Georgia, now it's Ukraine. Thinking that all neighbouring countries should be afraid is justified - by Putin's actions.

Maryla Anonim It's a big question who was brainwashed by propaganda. Of course U.S. media propaganda has more money and more influence over the world, so it's no wonder so many people have such a distorted point of view. You such a naive, pretending that small countries, like Georgia cannot be evil in their intentions, especially when backed by such militaristic monster like U.S. Actually it was Georgia who first attacked it's former territory South Ossetia and russian UN base, Russia only reacted to protect people.

Auro rus not to enemy to the world just enemy to the west world is not the same like US+EU even in us and EU that asshole ruling elite bearly have 30% support

Putin and human rights? What did you smoke? He does whatever fits his plans and gives a shit about human rights...

Auro rus You really want us to believe that Georgians are so dimwitted to attack russian UN base? Without any provocation. Yeah, Russia only "protects" people. Like for example on September 17, 1939 when they invaded Poland from the east when Hitler invaded Poland from the west 2 weeks earlier. However I have to admit Russians do a great job brainwashing people. Why do you think they disconnected all ukrainian TV in Crimea? They did a good job on you, too. Unless you're one of the brainwashers and just doing your job now.

It is practically imposible to have objective information about whats going on, and you want up-to-date numbers?!

I'm also skipping steps for years now, I always do that, its much faster than the normal way so why not?
