You probably remember 1968 when the Russians so kindly visited your country.

"Russians will never change": change the name "Russians" by "Jews" or "Blacks" or "Germans" or "Americans" : it would be considered -and rightly so-a racist statement. So watch your thoughts, for they become words, watch your words, because they become your charachter watch your charachter for it becomes your personality.

Chinese, Russian,... what?

Like I said in my previous post, go ahead and use whatever source you want and whatever source you think will deliver an unbiased take on what is going on (if such thing exists at all).

Here is Spiegel Online in German. Enjoy reading! And don't ask me to translate it for you. I don't have time for that.

You previous post about "you think majority of Ukraine people support closer tie with Europe and don't like Russia intervention" is definitely completely unbiased and NOT from a pro-America westerner's point of view too.
I could also post links to newspapers from neutral countries like Switzerland, Austria or Finland. But what's the point?

A. You wouldn't understand what's written there.
B. You'd probably insist that those countries are America's b*tch.

Why the hassle?

I doubt that they are covering news about separatist movements in a foreign country.

And even if they do, how unbiased are they?

The Soviets and other Warsaw Pact countries visited in 1968.

Czechs aligned with Russia during WW1, the Soviets visited the Czechs in WW2, Germans visited in WW2, etc.

The Czech area has been a visitor of numerous armies throughout history.

You are thinking with your behind.
The Ukraine crisis is all over news in China, taking headlines every day.

Russia has always been a threat to China and has invaded China countless times. If you think the China-Russia relationship is as close as Canada/UK-US, you are entirely wrong. They are not friends, and China is unlikely to take a completely one-sided position in favour of Russia like the US puppet countries.

"20:24: More than 1,000 demonstrators took the streets of Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, today, Reuters reports. They were carrying Ukrainian flags and chanting slogans such as "I am Russia, I don't need protection".

"According to Reuters, it is the first time the demonstrators have outnumbered the pro-Russia supporters who have laid siege to some government buildings in the city since Monday, Reuters reports."

By the way, below is a quote from the same source, I used before (BBC):

"Peter, American living in St Petersburg, Russia:emails: I have been following both Russian and American news like a hawk. While both sides are steaming up the propaganda I have found that the US media is completely out of bounds. There is no pretext to report news, only to sway public opinion. "

I hope, it will make you a little happier. In any case, let me know if you have more concerns (as if I really care )
