The difference being that RT is state funded, state managed and state censored,... even though it broadcasts in English,..... what is broadcast is exactly in line with Russian state policy ( Putin policy),..... at least on Fox News and stations like that, you may get a particular slant ( US...
Hardly the type of fella to have a quiet pint with that's for sure.... but of course he's hardly wholly representative of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary Kiev protesters.
So fook the Ukrainians themselves then,...... your comments are nothing more than I would expect,.... how about the needs of the people who are happily Ukrainian, and are happily living in Ukrainian territory but suddenly find a foreign army swanning around the place as if they own it?....
Most of Ukraine's gas fields are in the north-east of the country,...... so there could be your main reason for the Russians getting 'bolshy', they may have an eye on those and the outlets on the Crimea.
Who was,..... Syria was fundementalist organisations,.... and those guys were fighting a bloody jihad to the death,..... rich or not, they were simply fanatics.

3) Theatrical,...... really, I...
Naaahhh,... done this to death in other threads,.. this is about Ukraine,... keep to the program DIP, your mate in Brno should be able to bolster your anti western rhetoric with some of his own,.....
Democracy is the point being debated here when you boil it down,.... you either want it or you...
