As an American, you have no right to condemn Russia for invading a sovereign state and bombing its citizens, because your country is even better at it.

How do you imagine America would have felt had the Eastern Bloc stationed thousands of troops along your Mexican border and Mexico wanted to join the USSR? But you expect Russia to sit back quietly and accept a similar scenario?

I think Ukraine cosying up to the EU, NATO troops being posted along the Russian border and the shocking treatment of ethnic Russians in Ukraine caused Russia to invade. The EU and NATO - much more expansionist than Russia - are to blame for this war. If you're going to spend years menacingly...

Well most Northern Irish wish to be British. Using your analogy eastern Ukraine should be Russian, which is their desire.

America and Britain have invaded more countries over the last twenty years than Russia has. And why's it okay for Britain and America to recognise rebel areas of Syria but evil when Russia recognises rebel areas of Ukraine?

So it's not alright for the Russian leader to jail his political opponents but okay for the Ukrainian leader to do it?

The Donetsk Oblast: that's one of the areas of eastern Ukraine Russia has just invaded, the bit filled with ethnic Russians who want to be part of Russia, just like Crimea. And who can blame them? The ethnic Russians of Ukraine have had to put up with years of having their language banned and...

Back in 2011... Yulia Tymoshenko jailed after ‘political trial’ that risks making Ukraine a pariah William Hague, the British foreign secretary, said her conviction was "deeply concerning" and called into question Ukraine's relationship with the EU...

Is anyone else feeling just a little repulsed by this, by these insinuations of racism being made against Ukrainians and Poles as they try their damndest to deal with one of the worst crises of recent times? It goes without saying that everyone who wants to flee Ukraine for the safety of a...

Ukraine and Russia: What the Media Wants You To Think!

Queen - "Breakthru" (1989)

I found out the other day that the Ukrainians have been banning the Russian language in their country and treating the ethnic Russians in the eastern breakaway regions that the Russians have taken over as second class citizens and that these citizens were calling on Russia for help. And we're...

Why is it okay for NATO and the EU to expand through Europe but not Russia? Why is it okay for the Americans and British to recognise rebel territories in Syria but not okay for the Russians to recognise rebel territories in eastern Ukraine?

They were too busy starting a war in Ukraine by courting it to become a member state. How would the Americans have felt had the Eastern Bloc wanted Mexico to become a member state and the Soviet Union started posting its troops along your Mexican border?

We left the EU two years ago. We have freedom.

The only expansionist powers in Europe nowadays are the EU and NATO. The EU has spent the last several years courting Ukraine and NATO has spent the last several years posting troops and tanks along the Russian border. If you're going to spend a while poking a bear don't be surprised when that...

It was the EU and NATO who started this war.
