    Hey it doesn't matter that the brain-dead luvvies rant that it was a CIA blunder just so long as it keeps Russia up there as the 'global badass'!

    the bodies are not acting, in this case, as opposed to one from the other thread... here you can marvel at the work of Western agents done with your silent approval; you will pay for this one day, Western folks.

    Well, maybe comparing it to "Five Days of War" and "Born American" is bit too much.

    I am not sure about contents of film, but couple scenes I found on internet looked less action-packed and more thoughtfilled, and in it's trailer I, for the first time ever, I guess, heard words "civil war" in relation to Ukraine from anybody esle, but myself.

    Would be pity, though, if it really is all about "evil ruzskiez", as other films about such events.


    By the way, saying "more people view it as invasion" when using Kievpost as source is kinda shallow.

    Oh, nobody says we are a knight, or angel, or anything innocent. Our country's government has it's shady acts comitted.

    Other thing - there is difference between investigating something and blindly condemning one side over the other and expecting not being labelled a bias ******.

    You got to admit, USA media has tendency to discard, well, everything that comes from RF as propaganda. That is wrong.

    I think about Ukraine that everyside is wrong. USA and EU are pathetic hypocrites who pretend to defend democracy, Russia is a pathetic hypocrite who pretend to care about populations of dombass. None of them care, both are only willing to defend what they consider their property.

    If one of them really cared about dombass people, they would try a peacefull solution because in that kind of war, the main losers is the people living in warzone.

    I can't trust the medias of my country (I'm french) because they're owned by billionnaires or state, but I can't trust russian too.

    How could we really have a decent opinion about something if we don't have any indenpendant medias.

    Both Russian and USA are thirsty of war, European (and so french) are more hypocrites, they're against war but they aren't helping peace neither.

    Dombass is doomed.

    When that conflict began, I red a fable of La Fontaine :

    Two bulls engaged in shocking battle,
    Both for a certain heifer's sake,
    And lordship over certain cattle,
    A frog began to groan and quake.
    'But what is this to you?'
    Inquired another of the croaking crew.
    'Why, sister, don't you see,
    The end of this will be,
    That one of these big brutes will yield,
    And then be exiled from the field?
    No more permitted on the grass to feed,
    He'll forage through our marsh, on rush and reed;
    And while he eats or chews the cud,
    Will trample on us in the mud.
    Alas! to think how frogs must suffer
    By means of this proud lady heifer!'
    This fear was not without good sense.
    One bull was beat, and much to their expense;
    For, quick retreating to their reedy bower,
    He trod on twenty of them in an hour.

    Of little folks it oft has been the fate
    To suffer for the follies of the great.

    This was written centuries ago, their is no more kings but presidents, however, did the situation really changed ?

    Sincerely, having same feelings there. On top of that the government of Ukraine itself does tons of shady stuff to it's own people too.

    Surprisingly, I say it did. Now we have Internet, we have each other, we have means of communicating, exchanging versions of events and informations, seeking and finding facts, finding common language and means of being able to in some ways control governments and restrict them. For now this possibility is mostly theoretical, but it exists. And I do not speak of some sort of bloody revolution, but just about being responsible and agreeing on our own things, not through the overinflated governments.

    ...and learning to treat each other as equals, without excusing hypocricy with chauvinistic labels we put on nations we dislike, while expecting a pat from government that owns our ass.

    "and learning to treat each other as equals," this case is very clear, you are the offenders, we fighter for our homeland our freedoms. so leave what you stolen/occupied, than we talk


    "United Nations General Assembly Resolution 68/262 was adopted on March 27, 2014 by the sixty-eighth session of the United Nations General Assembly in response to the Russian annexation of Crimea and entitled "Territorial integrity of Ukraine". ... the General Assembly's commitment to the territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders and underscored the invalidity of the 2014 Crimean referendum"
