Russian is a unique language in that you can describe someone as 'уважаемый' (dear, respected) and despite it sounding like a term of endearment, it can be quite the opposite.  If i call some scumbag a 'уважаемый друг' it would be quite clear what my feelings are towards him, yet its much classier than abusing him in the language he expects. Its the same as how putin calls the west 'partners' or 'colleagues'.



He knows damn well they are the enemy, but he is not dropping down to the level of the hysterical idiots in the west. Im pretty sure that must annoy those same people who demonize him, when he responds with polite calmness to their hysteria.

I see. I'm westerner, do not understand Russian ways. Here in the west people call enemies even opponents as bastards. You see westerners have bad manners.

The Russians are saying they are supplying the rebels in every way but officially. Think of Putin's 'anyone can get a hold of weapons nowadays' reply. Why is this even disputed?

Well, ahem, you don't take a chunk of another country and be called a saint. Putin should have been more careful. Occupy but do not absorb. The Crimea issue is a big problem. Sanctions will not end unless Putin gives Crimea back to Ukraine. But if Putin does so, Putin would become the worst president in Russian history. Let's just say Putin is in between a rock and a hard place, because he didn't think it through and went ahead with emotions.  

The US perfectly knows Putin's personality. They know he is a very emotional person. They anticipated Putin would absorb Crimea on emotions. Putin fell right into their trap. Because of this, Putin is branded as the evil Putler in the west and Russia is branded as the Third Reich in the west.    It was planned all along. Years in the making.

Israel absorbed Golan in 1982 and even today Syria and Israel are enemies because of that.

I think Crimea will be given back to Ukraine in a few years if nothing big develops between Russia and Ukraine. Yeah, Putin fell into the trap and absorbed Crimea. Now wish he hadn't because of sanctions. Putin will not give back Crimea, else his legacy would be in tattered. It would be done by the next Russian president. Again, all of this, including Putin absorbing Crimea, has been years in the making by the US. The end goal is to put a US military base in Donbas. So my guess is, after Russia gives Crimea back to Ukraine, the US would put a military base in Donbas. In the meantime, Poroshenko has to play good cop and not cause a Russia Ukraine war. You see even shelling Donetsk with heavy artillery does not draw a word from Putin anymore these days. Putin longs to normalize relations and drop sanctions more than he cares about Donetsk. This is why, in my opinion, the US's plan is so far working perfectly.

If I'm not mistaken, the US's plan is this:

1. start Maidan

2. drive out Yanu

3. Putin gets mad, absorbs Crimea

4. brand Russians evil in western media and apply sanctions

5. Putin gets cold feet

6. next Russian president gives Crimea back to Ukraine

7. says the US lied and sanctions stay in place and builds US military base in Donbas

8. US wins Russia loses big time

Since when has the US kept promise? The US promised not to expand NATO after the USSR is split. The US lied and expanded NATO to Russia's border.

Hey Mule! Nice to see you made it over here.

Don't mind Flagship. He is in the same boat as Monarchist (who is coincidentally on this site) and Anabolism back on MP.net. All of them do not recognize the current Russian government as legitimate and believe it is evil.

By the way, there is an introductory section on this forum that you may want to go introduce yourself on.

She described how armies of online foot soldiers pose as ordinary Russians to write hundreds of biased comments on social media.

They comment on topics such as sanctions, the Ukraine conflict, the seizure of Crimea, the shooting down of flight MH17 and assassinations of Putin enemies - like Boris Nemtsov -

Shit, we're busted guys.

But seriously, is anyone in the West even stupid enough to believe this nonsense?

Yes comrade, it is time to execute extraction protocol. We shall all assemble at the harbor where KGB midget-sub under command of Colonel Python will pick us up.

But first open the box labeled "Russia-Stronkk!!!!11!!" located under your PC. Inside you will find silenced Makarov pistol, bottle of vodka, GLONASS transmitter, Russian flag, cyanide capsule, ushanka hat and a sandwich.

You may now eat the sandwich.      

     


But seriously, this talk of "payed trolls" is just the 21'st century version of expressions like"American spy" or "Soviet sleeper agent" that were popular during Cold War and were used by idiots when they would run out of intelligent arguments to support their claims. Over here we had expression "enemy spy" or some BS like that, can't remember anymore really... I am sure today Norks say "Southern spy", Saudis say "Iranian infidel" etc, etc....

It is not just politics, I seen people on gaming forums accuse others of being payed trolls for EA or Activision or others...
Basically "Reducto ad Hitlerum", only in this case it is "Reducto ad Trollum".
---------------------
And another thing. They say that we are payed trolls, so did any one of you guys get any money, because I have been working pro-bono for 8 months already.  
Really, at this point I would settle for free burger and a coffee at the start of my shift.

Hell, Kremlin could even be generous enough to get us some Starbucks.....

But what is even funnier is that she openly claimed to have signed a legal binding document/contract of her employment that states she isnt supposed to openly talk about her work, but what is she doing now? Clearly a paid provocator, but one that could actually be sued.

She barely gets any recognition so she probably has nothing so that is why very little airtime.

I find it funny, that the opinion of being anti-West or pro-Russian in the article is described as something only a "paid troll" could write.

Kharkiv News, which is probably the only alternative view news site in Ukraine, is described as a "group of trolls masquerading as journalists". It really mostly reposts articles from Ukrainian and Russian media.

Paid trolls posting something like this probably exist on both sides, but that borderline insane lady really blows it out of proportion.

Tagging journalists as some troll army is actually new dirty game the US is playing:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/21/military-manual-declares-war-on-spies-propagandist/?page=all#pagebreak

The manual pushes aside the George W. Bush-era label of “unlawful enemy combatant” for al Qaeda and the like. The new term of choice: “unprivileged belligerent.”

An eye-catching section deals with a definition of journalists and how they are expected to stay out of the fight.

The manual defines them this way: “In general, journalists are civilians. However, journalists may be members of the armed forces, persons authorized to accompany the armed forces, or unprivileged belligerents.”

So Washington now targets journalists recording its crimes and the crimes of its vassals as "enemy combatants".

Sick.

Crimea was definitely part of he plan. The US planned for Russia to absorb Crimea. Or else the US would not have the motive to demonize Russia and put sanctions on Russia. What the US did not anticipate was the EU did not put sanctions on Russia. So the US had to do the ad hoc MH17 shootdown to have the EU put sanctions on.

They were going to pin everything on Russia anyway, lies or not.

What utter shit.  Its crystal clear that Russian support for Crimean secession caught the US unawares.  They fully expected that Russia would not dare to get involved and that Ukraine would remain unified after the putsch so that Russian military agreements over Crimea could be abrogated, and that ultimately, US/NATO forces could move in to occupy the peninsula.  US rage over the Russian temerity to act in defense of her vital interests stands in clear testimony to this fact.

As for your absurd assertions that Putin is "emotional"... well f*ck me, i don't even know where to start.  If there is a world leader who knows how to keep a calm measured composed demeanour and to carefully measure their response to provocations, it has to be Putin.

You're simply off the planet.  What are the Harperites  putting into the water over there in Canuckistan????????

Flagship Victory wrote:I bet to differ. Yes Crimea is nice to have. But it's not necessary. The US wants land border with Russia. And that means eastern Ukraine. Crimea is good for the US either way. If Russia occupies or absorbs it, it serves to demonize Russia. If not, even better. The US navy can dock at Odessa. It does not have to dock in Crimea.
