She was using hyperboles deliberately to counter the hyperboles which have been going on.

1.There is a group of the same people on here that NO MATTER WHAT,will believe the propaganda the west is putting out.
2.There is a group of people on here that NO MATTER WHAT,will believe the propaganda the east is putting out. I have always said that when you have several different sides to an argument,that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
I don't believe the whole story from either side.

I still like Russians. They understand our northern winters. We're as much like the Russian people as we are like Americans.
And we are literally in the middle. Even if both countries get their aim right, we're still toasted.

As far as this woman goes,yes she used hyperbole.Okay so what. She didn't say anything against the Orchestra,her comments were about Ukraine. I want all of you think about this. I don't care which side you are on either.How would you like to go to work tomorrow only to find out that you are fired for whatever side you took? Maybe what you said wasn't what your company wants to hear out of you? Maybe customers wouldn't like it if they knew? Do you want to have to be quiet and not say what you think because you may lose your job over it? I can see if it is about your job or that field,yes.But if its something unrelated? When do you decide that freedom is being throw out with the bath water?
Make whatever statement you need to as an artist...but be prepared to take the flack. If you can't take that, find another line of work.

And if she were using her talents with the TSO then I would say they have every right to do something about it.But on her own blog? No freedom of speech is freedom of speech. Its either that or outlaw freedom of speech for gods sake.

Awesome, show me these 'filtration camps please.
Show me where they are going to gas ethnic Russians en masse.
Or you can admit she's a filthy liar and got what she deserves.

With someone who openly says he`s a follower of Stepan Bandera, she makes a hyperbole about it...
...because in her opinion, it`s the best way to get attention for the situation...you can debate if that`s the right way...
...however, with the West doing the same, she thinks it`s justified to counter such crap.
Let`s see how the West is using hyperboles...
Russia wants to take over the Ukraine, no they don`t, they are not stupid and know it will cost them 100.000 soldiers and the cost it brings, and that is when the ultra-nationalists are doing nothing, once they will rise up (most likely will happen in that case) Russia will need 200.000 troops permanently.
And Russia can expect at the same time destabilizing in other places, completely bankrupting Russia.
So they are not that stupid, yet the media gets filled with a hyperbole about Russia wanting the Ukraine, but they don`t stop there, they make even a hyperbole about that hyperbole by saying Europe is threatened by Russia.
And the same goes about Putin being Hitler.
So you see, it`s nothing more as tit for tat.

It DOES apply to this thread. I am talking about the behavior of the members on here with all the name calling,disrespect,and accusations that are flying around. People need to stop baiting others,stop picking fights,and if you feel you need to argue a point,fine. Argue the point.Not whether someone is a shill or troll or anything else. They are not morons,stupid,idiots or anything else anyone wants to come up with at the moment. This is disrespectful to other members.
