The fact is that Autonomous republic of Crimea was part of Ukraine till 2014 and it was stripped of many autonomous rights.
So they decided to be "annexed" by Russia

What rights wee revoked in 2014?

So asking you if Crimea was part of the Ukraine and expecting an actual answer makes me a shill? If that's the criteria shill me up.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

His answer would undermine his and Russia position on Crimea. Do you honestly expect him to give you an answer?

Part me of thinks its the only way to settle things down.

Appeasement does not work and we have seen that from history.
Rewriting history does not work and we have seen that from history.

If a confrontation is going to happen better now than down the road.

Not sure about this could go either way. Russians get hyped about annexing ukraine and ukraine gets all the weopons they want. If they vote to remove troops from Ukraine giving putin his way out. Only problem becomes the chechens they aren't going to stop. They let a tiger off its leash and it's not going to play well. Many chechen fighters say after there done going to return home and free their people. Russia would much rather have them fighting others right now chechens could tear them apart from the inside.

the Russian people don't want their country involved in Ukraine and their polls have shown that. So far the lies putin was telling were being bought by the Russian people. Now that you have dead Russian soldiers coming home, and putin trying to lock down that information...

Putin is losing control of the information flow.

Its why he wants elections moved up before the full truth becomes widely known to the Russian people.

So, be it.
You know, there was a very famous rabbi in Russian Empire - Gaon of Vilna, he predicted that when Crimea will become Russian this will be the "End time" joecruzmn.wordpress.com... messiahs-footsteps-can-be-heard-a-bell-that-signals-the-arrival-of-someone-or-something/

The prophesy was false, since Russia took Crimea from Turks several years after, may be this time ?

a reply to: kitzik

and Putin falsely claimed Russia has never been conquered when in fact the Mongols conquered and occupied it.

If the Mongols could do it then there is still the possibility other nations can today.

Maybe this time?

I hold Rabbi above Putin lol, but everything can happen.
Just be careful not to end like a Mongols. Do you really want to be a not so big tribe strangled on the outskirts of Nevada desert 300 years from now ?

The difference being is the US does not go around bragging about how we have never been conquered, because we have. Russia on the pother hand has been conquered and like Crimea, and WWII, Putin is trying to rewrite history and that will be his undoing.

Russian Legislators Warned to 'Not Go Far' for Summer Holidays

The speaker of the Federation Council, the upper chamber of Russia's parliament, told lawmakers to “not go far” during the summer break because the chamber may need to convene for an emergency session, a news report said — but legislative leaders denied speculations that Moscow may be seeking legislative approval for military involvement across the border in Ukraine.

The speaker of the Federation Council, Valentina Matviyenko, said that “there might be a need to hold an additional session of the Federation Council,” the Interfax news agency reported Wednesday.

“So I am asking you to not go far and remain in contact. If such a decision is made, we will inform you in a timely fashion,” she was quoted as saying.
Matvieynko linked the possible emergency session to the “schedule” of the lower chamber of parliament, the State Duma, without elaborating.


РЕКЛАМА







A spokesperson for the Federation Council said that the upper chamber may need an extra session if the State Duma adopts a substantial number of new bills, Interfax reported, without providing details.

Russian law requires the Federation Council to review bills passed by the State Duma within 14 days, but the June 12 Russia Day national holiday may disrupt legislative schedules, requiring an emergency session over a weekend, the upper chamber's head of the constitutional law committee Andrei Klishas said, Interfax reported.

“There is no intrigue around the possible convention of the Federation Council for an emergency session,” Klishas was quoted as saying.

The head of the Federation Council's defense and security committee Viktor Ozerov said he did not know the reason for Matviyenko's request, but that he thought it unlikely to be connected to any plans to send Russian troops across the border into Ukraine, independent Ekho Moskvy radio reported.

Matviyenko's announcement came on a day when the first serious battle in several months erupted in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government forces. Each side blamed the other for the escalation of the conflict, which threatened to rupture a fragile ceasefire and set the country again on the brink of a full-blown war. The violence subsided later in the day.

Russia denies Western and Ukrainian accusations that its troops are fighting alongside the separatist rebels, using weapons supplied by Moscow. But maintaining the denial outside of Russia's borders has been increasingly difficult. The United Nations' Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic said this week that there is increasing evidence, though not yet conclusive legal proof, of Russian state involvement, Reuters reported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has already sought parliamentary approval for overt military involvement in Ukraine, receiving permission from the Federation Council during an emergency session on March 1 last year to send troops into the neighboring country, supposedly to protect ethnic Russians there. The permission was revoked last June, however, after Moscow annexed Crimea.

During the latest round of fighting in eastern Ukraine, at least five government troops were killed and another 39 injured, according to a Thursday morning tally released by Ukrainian presidential adviser Yuriy Biryukov on his Facebook page.

Rebels in the city of Donetsk reported 15 dead on Wednesday in territory under their control, according to the Associated Press. The number included both civilians and combatants.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, in Berlin, said that the escalation was an attempt by Russia to disrupt a planned speech by Poroshenko in Ukraine's parliament on Thursday, and the G7 summit, which will begin in Germany on Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“If something’s coming up, the Russians always organize something on the ground,” Klimkin was quoted as saying.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf agreed with Klimkin, saying “Russia bears direct responsibility for what’s happening here.”

“These are combined Russian separatist forces that launched coordinated attacks overnight against Ukrainian positions on the Ukrainian Government’s side of the ceasefire line,” she said.

My sides, damn you, my poor sides!
Every President I've ever heard speak prior to Obama has stated that the US has never been defeated and never will be. Bush added the specter of "ooooh but we could be if those boogeymen get their way." and the moron in office presently picked up that ball, painted a Wilson face on it, and has sure as hell run with it, but virtually EVERY politician out there loudly crows about the indefatigability of American triumph over any obstacle.

No really they have not. Feel free to post where they have made these claims.

a reply to: JonStone

Maybe Russia has important intelligence information of the upcoming domestic military exercise in US. Possibly about declaring the martial law. And massively using arm outside of the continent.

Everything starting with a massive military strike on Russia. – However. If Russia is to be defeated by means of military offensive, it must be done now. Each day makes this option more difficult.

No, hence my claim of him being a hypocrite earlier.
