    How do you explain mothers in Russia missing their sons?

    I don't believe these groups (IS, al-Qaeda, whatever) are discrete. I think it's more like "You got AK-47? Want to kill some infidels? Come with us.". So international support for war against Assad helped.

    I don't mean to justify the POW parade (in fact i find it shocking as well) but note that detainees of US in Guantanamo bay are not considered prisoners of war and sometimes they're even legally tortured.

    Then it should also propagate unbanning Russia Today and other russian channels, shouldn't it? Unless they mean different freedom.

    Exactly. I wonder how can someone come up with such bullshit as they're better under dictatorship, democracy isn't for everyone. It doesn't make sense but it's quick and easy resolution... just like religion.

    I feel he speaks common sense and is not far from the truth. If you propose to install dictatorships in Arab countries and assume it'll make local people happy then you also assume either that they're as dumb as vilas described (i.e. must be controlled by bloody dictator) or that there is something genetic in them that makes them live better under oppression which makes you a racist. Or you don't actually care about the people and only expect that stability of the region maintained by the dictatorship will make better business relationships for 1st world countries which may be true actually.

    Fake Syrian Army is very much something like "bunch of murderers", you have not much clue about it, even if the situation is now very confused. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a44_1408393981 These oppressed rebels (who really really fight for freedom and not for false prophet) are firing TOW smuggled from Iran provided by Putin manufactured by China... with obligatory snackbar chant. Where the hell did Islamic State get weapons from?

    Except it's true. Fake Syrian Army was bunch of murderers from the beginning, _long_ before western media shifted back into reality. We were told lies, everything was Assad's fault, fake videos used as evidence, .... And the support wasn't just propaganda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_involvement_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War I have to chuckle a bit. Either the intelligence of US is so poor that they couldn't predict what they were creating or this is part of some complex geopolitical plan. I tend to believe to latter. EDIT: Oh and I don't imply there was some media conspiracy. Just that most journalists were lazy cowards playing into policy.

    To which God should I pray to accept this truth? Critical thinking while reading news is blasphemy. Accept true truth!

    I don't think people in there think about Russia like you do (see Crimea). You gotta be realist no matter what your idelogoy is...

    Why would Russia send weapons when it'll win hearths of locals by pure humanitarian aid? It's checkmate for UA government: a) deny the trucks to enter over weapons fears => locals will like Russia more b) allow the trucks to deliver aid => locals will like Russia more I think people trapped in there don't give a damn about your geopolitic fears. UA should've sent aid sooner (or EU or whoever is interested in influence there).

    That's exactly what people posting links here are doing. You're not suppossed to read it as holy truth.

    Such irony in two consecutive compound sentences. Maybe you deserve a shame for being such dimwitted nationalist coward redneck. Please, go ahead and justify this to prove my point.

    I guess the sanctions have little to do with causalities. The real reason is fear of Russian government. Yes, this world is cold and cruel.

    @Spooky_Lynx, what has your support of the cause of pro-Russian forces has to do with their major screwup? Defending fight for independence is one thing, but now you're desperately trying to cover up their obvious screwup for some reason unkown to me. If I took a gun a went fighting UA forces would that magically make me a honorable flawless person in your eyes? You don't even know me! I don't fear "conspiracy theories" (I still question 9/11) but in this case the evidence is overwhelming and it shouldn't change what you support. EDIT: I don't support anyone.

    I did, sorry. It had nothing to do with West vs. East theme you seem to like (i.e. I didn't want to hide critique though I don't agree with your attitude). Now I feel kinda bad for it... From my friend from Kiev: Oh, and not that I care about crap like Eurovision, but booing Russian participants for crisis in Ukraine is as low as it can be.

    What Maidan protesters are you talking? If you mean the civilian ones were completly peaceful, so you would be right. But I'm afraid you mean extremists, that armed with molotovs started to assault buildings, probably shooting its own people, and committing all mind of crimes. It's a bit sad that some people is unable to see the differences between the "cause" and "means".
