    Hitler was an animal lover, just so you know.

    lol, you kind of got me there.

    But no Mickey's a cool dude, if you saw him Actor's Studio you'd know what I mean. Sometimes you just know when someones legit or a jerk, and Mickey's definitely the former. Especially in a profession where the vast majority of people are complete shit.

    More analysis into what Putin really thinks of YKPAIHIAHs.

    Russia's Plans to Partition Ukraine


    3. As Putin said in his speech justifying the annexation of Crimea, he cannot accept Ukraine as a distinct nationality. In tsarist times, the preferred Russian term for Ukraine was “Little Russia,” with all the condescension that phrase implies. The New Yorker’s David Remnick reports that Putin told President George W. Bush that Ukraine is “not even a country.” Putin, it seems, views Ukrainian independence as fundamentally absurd, as well as wrongheaded and dangerous.

    4. Twice in the past decade, protest movements have driven corrupt, authoritarian presidents out of office in Ukraine: first the Orange Revolution, in 2005, and then the Euromaidan uprising, in 2014. If Ukrainians can chase out such leaders and get away with it, Russians might someday wonder why they can’t do the same. For Putin, self-rule in Ukraine represents a direct challenge to his own power, and must be squelched by any means necessary.

    For these reasons, Putin is promoting Ukrainian federalism, backed by the threat of Russian invasion. It will only go forward, however, if Ukraine can be bullied into submitting to it—and Western countries agree to be fooled into accepting it—as a “democratic” solution. Will we?

    Russian Ambassadors to meet Vladimir Putin's objectives on Ukraine within UN

    This is an unbelievable recording of the culture of the higher echelon of Russian officialdom and intelligensia...
    The outright language of these Ambassadors is no different to the mafiya hoodlum types that Yanukh surrounded himself with.

    Absolutely diabolical what they think of the Baltic States, Romania, Bulgaria and others including how they reference in slang Miami and California.

    Every other sentence uses typical Russian swearing...

    This may be the best joke you've ever made.

    Nothing condescending about "Little Russia" at all. Looks like this Remnick guy isn't very familiar with the history of what is now called Ukraine.

    In that piece, Buchanan managed to take every position imaginable within a few sentences and offend history.

    I think he would be quite talented at porn, aside from the fact that most watchers would have gone blind.

    In all this turmoil,I think its important that everyone pause. All races...all religions...all orientations. And looking at this objectively can anyone honestly say ........that Sergei lavrov is not the single ugliest human being on the planet?

    When bandarevtsi hillbillies run wild you're all for it, but when a historic ethnic community (who you have far more in common with, ironically enough) voice their opinion you take shots at them. Cool stuff bro.

    Get it through your head bro, the Russian people, language, and culture are an integral part of Ukraine. Russians helped build and sustain that country, and they're not going to sit by while vicious Russophobes like Sheva oppress their culture and language.

    Come to terms with it mayn, red/black flags and Bandera portraits are never going to fly in Kharkov, Donetsk, etc.

    The only good thing about the current unrest in Ukraine, is that now Americans are no longer the biggest douchebags in the world.

    USSR should have just incorporated the territory into Russia proper from the very beginning and everyone would have been saved a whole lot of trouble. They've created this monster that's become an eternal pain in the ass.

    Or they could just respect territorial integrity instead of trying to go back to the 19th century and increase their fiefdom.

    Russians always occupied that spot, they've just made it very obvious of late.
