  • Dahell is happening in Kiev

    Quote from Thrik

    I didn't understand why a lot of fuss was being made last week over there being a referendum within Ukraine to determine the citizens' feelings about what Crimea's fate should be — seemed like a sensible way to allow the people to have some influence.

    Except then I learnt today that the only options they were allowed to vote for were 'join Russia' or 'become independent'. No option to remain part of Ukraine, lol.


    That's not right at all, though I'm not surprised it's regarded as such given the poor wording. The actual options were:


    A) Are you in favour of the reunification of Crimea with Russia as a subject of the Russian Federation?

    B) Are you in favour of restoring the 1992 Constitution and the status of Crimea as a part of Ukraine?


    So A is join Russia, B remain as part of Ukraine retaining the same autonomy granted in 1992 after independence (no change). I don't exactly see that the referendum as legit but I believe if there were to be an international observed, free and fair poll, the majority would still vote to join RF. All this talk of voting under the barrel of a gun, there were elections held in Iraq in 2005 during a terrorist insurgency for crying out loud...

    It now seems completely reasonable an idea that Russian snipers took shots during those protests to hurry things along.


    ...really?! There were mass pro-Russian protests in Crimea against what was happening in Kiev long before the events in Instytutska Street. The majority Russians there have always long been opposed to the Ukrainian nationalism which is present in the current situation now. It's no surprise they reacted the way they did with the Western Bandera advocates gaining power. How does Russia benefit from having an anti-Russian, partly fascist regime coming to power in Ukraine? Just to get Crimea? I don't buy it... it's like saying US special forces were firing at protesters in Syria in order to start a conflict so they could get rid of a regime that supports Iran, it's tinfoil hat material...


    Quote

    And Russia's continued presence in Ukraine is completely unacceptable.


    Yet what can be done about it? Nothing. Crimea is effectively no longer controlled by Ukraine, by all intents and purposes it's under Russian control and they aren't going anywhere. If Putin was to break to Western pressure and withdraw troops, the Russians of Crimea and his homeland would be demonstrating in uproar and see it as a betrayal. I didn't support what happened and I still don't but it is what it is. We need to think very carefully about what sanctions we set on Russia because they can hit back hard, like stopping all NATO supplies going through Russia for ISAF. Is Crimea worth it? I don't think so...


    If Russia moves into East/South Ukraine, that's another story...

  • Dahell is happening in Kiev

    Quote from TarrySruman

    Good to see our resident murder apologist is putting in the extra hours to fight the good fight


    Murder apologist? Screw yourself, just because I don't view events through Black and white lenses doesn't make my comments any less relevant. How dire it would be if we all had the same moral take on things and high-fived each other for having the only opinion that matters like Dejavo said. The events on Instytutska Street are far from solved, yet the government seem to refuse to investigate what actually happened...


    That's twice you've been trolling in this thread, contribute to the topic or get out please.


    Apparently a major Ukrainian airbase in Crimea has been stormed by Russian forces and VV Spetsnaz. Shots fired and explosions heard, only one inury reported, no fatalities... yet.

  • Dahell is happening in Kiev

    Quote from Sentura

    I never said Russia invaded Poland, what the fuck are you talking about?


    Quote from Sentura

    Yeah no, that's a false assumption. You assume they'd only put mines on their own soil, yet what they have essentially done is invaded a country already.


    It's a false assumption that they'd be laying mines in Russia, therefore you must conclude they're laying mines in Poland (which is an invasion)... otherwise, I really don't understand what you're talking about.

    From Autonomous Republic Of Crimea but to what.. I don't know yet...


    Follow up to Abby Martin's original statement on Russia's involvement in Crimea;

    Quote from Sentura

    Yeah no, that's a false assumption. You assume they'd only put mines on their own soil, yet what they have essentially done is invaded a country already. What makes you think they aren't going to push mines there? The border doesn't stretch further than 5-10 km into the country at its furthest (counting sight ranges etc. Anything beyond that would be fair game, technically, and would still count as being close to the border. And as far as I can see it isn't actually Russian territory but rather still Ukrainian soil. Given the legality of the situation is way beyond crime level already, I wouldn't put it past them, but then, I have no idea whether or not it is actually true.


    Also, here's what's going on in Kaliningrad: http://gazetanews.pl/wiadomosc-21-r…e_i_niemcy.html


    In short, russia putting up missiles for firing into Poland and Germany.


    So you're telling me Russia has invaded Poland and planted mines on their soil without anyone seeing? How does your tinfoil hat fit?! There are no mines being laid in Ukraine near Poland since Crimea doesn't border the country. The story is hyperbole... it references an article from German bild.de (which for some reason, I can't find... funny that), a tabloid newspaper equivalent to Daily Mail, The Mirror etc. Plus the picture of the so called Iskander missile batteries are Patriot Missile systems that were delivered to Turkey back in January 2013 The only other source I found trying to research this was a Youtube video... So safe to say, it's a load of bollocks much like RT's story about mass refugees coming out of Ukraine. As I said, propaganda in the media for Crimea is on full retard levels...


    Crimean authorities not wasting anytime, already changing the lettering on the Parliament building!

    Think about it logically, if there's movement by military personal laying mines on the border with Poland, they would be spotted by Polish border guards and the event would be reported to NATO. If the border guards didn't see anything, it's well into Russian territory and not the actual border. It would only be in the north where it meets Kaliningrad Oblast anyway since Poland doesn't border Russia's main territory... what's the point?


    I see Russia was completely isolated at the UNSC, all member states condemned Russia's actions with the exception of China, which abstained rather than vetoed the resolution which speaks volumes...
