The US Department of State is behind the Ukrainian authorities’ attempts to carry out terrorist acts in Crimea, Crimean Head Sergei Aksyonov said in an interview with Rossiya-24 TV Channel on Thursday.
“You see, upon which path they [the Ukrainian authorities] have embarked – the path of terror. That is, they have decided to transfer abroad the method they have tested against their own citizens. But at the same time I’m confident that these are not their own actions and intentions – the US Department of State is behind them because Ukrainian officials wouldn’t have had the courage to hold such actions,” the Crimean head said.

Maybe the Russian imperialists should end their illegal occupation of Crimea?

The Crimean populace voted overwhelmingly to join the Russian Federation.

Hope this helps.

I have a better idea. Obama and Biden should quit effing around with Putin. You guys keep blaming this on Russia while refusing to acknowledge NATO's provocations.

How would we react if Putin put missile batteries in Mexico and Canada? Not well, yet we have the Aegis system in Ukraine and another going into Romania. Poland is also back on track for 2018.

Obama is just weird when it comes to Putin and Biden has dirty hands when it comes to the Ukraine. If this hits the fan it's all on those two.

All hype.

The incursion was most likely made by an independent battalion, one that is not under Kiev control. Petro is not dumb enough to ever confront Russia directly, and Russia has no reason for a false flag.

Russia hyped up this event just to unnerve Kiev, that is all, just as Russia's response to the Georgian attack on Russian peacekeepers had Saakashvili high as a kite chewing his tie on TV.

Like we did with the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Anyway, Russia is overreacting with this missile defense thing, it is not a threat in any which way to Russia. The missile defense system is absurdly small, and Russia would easily overwhelm such a system. The system cannot even intercept many of Russia's nuclear capable missiles.

Russia just uses the missile defense system for its own domestic political hype.

So, if the Chinese parachuted in to America, seized control of the streets and then called for a referendum that Americans leave and allow Chinese to move in - you'd be OK with that?
