One thing which struck me about Mr. Putin was that he absolutely did not condemn the shooting down of a civilian airliner by 'perpatrators'.
Who in the west is condemning the atrocities we see happening in East Ukraine on an almost daily basis? Are the people of Lugansk and Donetsk lesser than others? Sub human perhaps?

I'd say the West has vented its objection to the crises and the resulting killing going on. But it goes on and on and on like a broken record. Both Ukraine and Russia aren't giving an inch. Now this just might just be an intractable problem for the 21st century. If it will be well we know what happens to an itch when it gets continually scratched.
My view has always been that I believe Mr. Putin's policies have continually the drive to aggrandize the Russian state through an aggressive nationalism be it in rhetoric or overt behavior. At this time, for Russia, it appears to be the 'right' policy since it looks as if everybody there believes in what he's doing. But the question is what kind of a Russia is this creating when it has to go out and meet the world. Russia has to be careful it doesn't get branded as a belligerent and unfeeling state. Already there are signs that she could losing some battles in international public opinion. Mr. Putin may appear that he is winning his battle with the West and Ukraine. How far will he go to win the undeclared war? If he makes some wrong moves now it is Russia and its people that will lose respect and become pariahs in the face of the world. They'll be surely low on the 'lovability' index.
"MARIA Putina, daughter of the Russian President, became the target of Dutch anger yesterday with calls for her to be deported from the home that she has set up in the Netherlands with her Dutch boyfriend.
The mayor of the city where victims’ bodies will be brought for identification demanded the expulsion of Maria, 29, the elder of Vladimir Putin’s two daughters, who has a penthouse apartment in a village near The Hague."

That much is true, the western media was trying to portray the civil war in Ukraine as some "anti-terrorist operation," while as in any civil war the Kiev's troops are killing civilians as a part of the rebels "network," apparently.
Isn't that interesting how many people from that "rich" and "important" corner of the World known as Russia, are working, immigratig, studying or simply living here in that bad bad dying and bankrupting West ?
I think we should follow Russian example and have one of the highest mortality rate and one of the lowest quality of life in the world with a male life expectancy 65 years.

Another interesting thing. West reveals the true face. Freedom of the citizens? No. "Dutch call for Putin daughter" - it is repression of people who have nothing to do with politics of Russia.
Look at that guy with a tattoo at 3:00. He appears to be messed up.
I suspect he is somewhere from Caucasus.
