US-Made Weapons, High-Power Explosives Found in Donetsk Airport
Like RT, Sputnik slickly remixes President Vladimir Putin’s brand of revanchist nationalism for an international audience, presenting the United States as an ailing imperial power bent on holding on to its domains. But whereas RT functions more like a tabloid news service, Sputnik looks to be presenting a kind of propaganda that’s very much rooted in 2014. RT, one might say, is the Daily Mail of Kremlin propaganda — aggressive, brash, and often ridiculous. (One headline from its homepage: "Cockroaches to the rescue: ‘Cyborg’ insects can help save people trapped in earthquakes.") Sputnik, meanwhile, is like its BuzzFeed equivalent: cheeky, Internet-savvy, smarter.

Sorry I think for myself and do my own research. I am not a fan of Putin telling me what to think. If other people are ok with that then that's on them.
The Ukraine Freedom Support Act (UFSA) of 2014 authorizes lethal and non-lethal aid. Besides what’s already being supplied.
Including communications equipment. Body armor. Night vision goggles. Humvees. Radar. Counter-mortar detection units. Binoculars. Small boats. Various other gear.
Sniper and assault rifles. Hand grenade launchers. Mortars and shells. Stingers. Anti-tank missiles. What’s known may be the tip of the iceberg.
See my post here, boy.
S.2828 - Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014
[quote/]
So I see this and wonder what you think this bill is supposed to prove?
the President to provide Ukraine with defense articles, services, and training in order to counter offensive weapons and reestablish its sovereignty and territorial integrity; and
FY2015-FY2017 appropriations.
I also find this interesting...
(Sec. 11) States that nothing in this Act shall be construed as an authorization for the use of military force.
www.congress.gov...
So what exactly does this bill prove again?
The Devil’s in the Details: Inside The Ukrainian Freedom Support Act
And what exactly was this link supposed to prove, as it wasn't proving anything the first time so what makes it any different now?
- - I know that you’re NOT that dense, as to who the #3 Right Sector ranking commander which so happened to threaten reporters & motorola that he would kill them if he ever saw them. . . Guess what? He just got captured by Motorola & those very same reporters that he threatened to kill - ironically are there to witness his capture.
And of course you have a source for this?
Come back when you’ve taken off that clown mask.
Your going for the record on personal attacks I see...how classy.
Wouldn't let me copy and paste those, but just look down the bill.
Also not letting me quote right, apologies for it looking crazy.edit on 22-1-2015 by tsurfer2000h because: (no reason given)
Any other western country that was having its citizens murdered by the government in a country formally part of them not that long ago would do a lot more than Russia has done
Look at the UK and NI,personally Russia should bloody well move in and keep them safe and tell the lunatics in NATO to back away
Saw that Ukraine commander captured and taken to a city his troops were shelling,wish the lying trolls here could have been there with him and seen the reactions from the people living there
It's right there in writing. It's NO SECRET.
U.S. shot themselves in the foot w/ that bill.
