Putin's body count rises

quote:


...

Denis Voronenkov, who testified to Ukrainian investigators and criticsed Moscow's illegal annexation of Crimea, was shot dead by an unidentified gunman near the entrance of an upscale hotel.

The attacker also wounded Mr Voronenkov's bodyguard, who fired back and wounded the gunman.

...

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said the killing "clearly shows the handwriting of Russian special services shown repeatedly in various European capitals in the past."

I noticed you used the Ukrainian spelling rather than the Russian spelling which is also how it is spelled everywhere else in the world

I don't have a comment, I just found it out of place

And yet Manafort survives, even tho he 'supposedly' was in collusion with Yanukoyvish, and knows all his dirty deets

Some people on this board are scary. For ANYONE to prop up and idolize Putin is a terrifying display of willful ignorance. Putin is pure evil

Yeah, it is disturbing. Putin's Russia is at times irrational, and, it is tough to "do diplomacy" with that kind of leadership.

Crimea historically belongs to the Moscow government. It is honestly in Russia's best national security interests to have Crimea. Diplomacy may not be able to wrest it away from Russia. We may have to accept that and move on to getting Russia out of Ukraine. Maybe use Crimea as a bargain chip.

The city, in the predominantly Ukrainian-speaking west of the country, had its name standardized to Kyiv in Roman letters by the Ukrainian government way back in 1995, just four years after they formally asked the world to please stop saying 'the Ukraine.' The world listened, to an extent — the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) approved the spelling 'Kyiv' in 2006 after a request by the Ukrainian government (and subsequent endorsement by the State Department).

If he is furthering the cause of nationalism in Europe and the U.S., I don't care what else he does.
We can't fix Chicago or Baltimore. Why do we think we can fix Russia? Those people can take care of themselves.

Again, I don't have a comment. I just had a compulsion to point to it since I found it out of place

I know a Ukrainian married to a Russian, she spells it Kiev as does the rest of the world.

Since everyone has a fascination with this topic, I'm hoping people read up on the Kiev Rus preceding the rise of Muscovy

Russian history is without a doubt the most interesting IMO. I don't think they've ever had a dull generation

Unless Manafort's turned state's evidence against Yanik I don't know what you're getting at

Don't play strawman. If you defend or idolize Putin, you're a piece of shite. If you do the same for Hillary, you are ALSO a piece of shite. However, defending Putin by calling Hillary pure evil is an insult to logic.

Where in my posts did I defend Putin?

I'm just pointing out that we have persons similar to Putin in our government. We should focus on cleaning them up before worrying about Putin.
