I am disappointed in my great country of Canada that we must side with the Americans with everything.
USA is full of hypocrites. They keep saying to "respect the sovereignty" of nations but they are the LAST COUNTRY ON THIS EARTH to "respect sovereignty". Did the Americans forget about invading Serbia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and many other countries?
Hi Brandon,
well, I'm trying to stay aside from political tensions, although I'm Russian and current situation is very personal for me. The one thing that I can't really understand is - despite the context, whatever happens in the world - Russia is always wrong, should be ignored and should be punished. I can't explain this and this is really pitty.
I want say nothing on current situation - may be Russia is wrong or right, but I do not see any dialog in the World, only attempt to speak from the position of strength...
For example, this is extraction from today's Reuters news:
"...The order indicated the president would sign the treaty with
Crimea's Russian-installed leader, who is in Moscow to request incorporation into Russia, but it gave no date.
The move followed a disputed referendum in Crimea on Sunday, staged under
Russian military occupation, in which a Soviet-style 97 percent of voters were declared to have voted to return to Russian rule, after 60 years as part of Ukraine."
But this is just lies. Leader of the Crimea has not been installed by Russia. He was elected by people gathering when they have become protest against new Ukraine policy...
Russian military occupation - this is also lies. There was no one shot made on the territory of Crimea. How you can imagine occupation without shooting? If this would be an occupation - all people will struggle about it and hardly 90% of citizens have come to referendum and vote for joining Russia...
Lies everywhere... modern-modern world... what else we will see... And this is REUTERS! It's just awful.
