Sorry, that was a very lame attempt at humor by me.

So much for "never again" . The world is sitting back and watching it just like in the 30s.

Sorry you were included in the Putin worship comment - it was meant for the first quote listed, to which you were responding.
Being at least a little suspicious of the US media or at least their competance in a rush to publish first and correct second is not a bad policy.

However, it's a whole let better than the Russian media which has trouble keeping reporters from "committing suicide" if they anger Putin.

Let's face it, anyone that believes that neither the US or Russia is trying to wrangle public opinion is as naieve as it gets.

Default Now they counting Jews in the Ukraine

Rather unsettling, Jews residing in the eastern Ukraine are being asked to "identify themselves" whatever that means.

If this escalates any further, my libertarian foreign policy views will be tested.

All I'm saying is that CNN shouldn't jump to conclusions without verifying facts on something with such heavy historical implications.

And what do ya know-as it turns out, the pamphlets are indeed fake.
Please tell Kerry they are fake.

It's far more likely they would do this in western Ukraine than in eastern Ukraine.

Learn a little history. The grandparents of the neo-Nazis in western Ukraine formed their own SS Divisions during WWII. They killed Jews and Poles by the hundreds of thousands.

The grandparents of the peeps in Eastern Ukraine were in the Red Army fighting them.

I think anything that occurs in the "Donetsk People's Republic" will be questioned as they seem to be rather like the Keystone Kops with an edge. This could get weirder.

Really you can't say ***?


Jews practice a particular religion.

Israel is a nation.

Which one are you talking about?
