Russia: Okay We're Sending You to the Crimea
— Ace I don't know if this story would be a story at all without the epilogue. A Russia Today reporter (well, "presenter") strongly criticized Russia's "uncontested arrival" into the Crimea.
This isn't such a huge deal because Russia Today is the English-language propaganda arm of Russia. It's not primarily for broadcast into Russia, but intended as an arm of pro-Russia indoctrination for areas of the English-speaking world that don't receive the New York Times.
A bit of background on the station, and the reporter:
The English-language Russia Today is widely perceived as the voice of the Kremlin, with Reporters Without Borders describing it as a "step of the state to control information."
It is often anti-American in its coverage and has been accused of ignoring a number of human rights abuses in the country, as well as controversial issues such as the prison sentences given to punk ban[d] Pussy Riot.Her bold statement contrasted with the station's usual coverage of the Ukrainian crisis, which broadly reflects MoscowÂ’s position.
In its reports it has described new Ukranian prime minister Arseny Yatseniuk as "self-imposed" and is sympathetic to the Russian-backed ousted president Viktor Yanukovych.
Miss Martin, who has previously labelled the US government's version of 9/11 as "propaganda", criticised the coverage of the escalating crisis from all sides of the media spectrum as "disappointing.. and rife with misinformation".
But even a dummy like Martin understands that the Crimean invasion is wrong.
So here's the epilogue. Here's what Russia Today says about her off-message messaging:
"We respect her views, and the views of all our journalists, presenters and program hosts, and there will be absolutely no reprimands made against Ms. Martin.
"In her comment Ms. Martin also noted that she does not possess a deep knowledge of reality of the situation in Crimea. As such weÂ’ll be sending her to Crimea to give her an opportunity to make up her own mind from the epicentre of the story."Miss Martin however told the Telegraph: "I am not going to Crimea despite the statement RT has made."
By the way, Time Magazine just reported that "not only would Russia never invade Crimea, it would also never send a reporter to a warzone just for criticizing Russia."
And then they won a Peabody.

Yes.. Greenwald is saying the US media "cheered" us into a war with Iraq, and are now hypocrites for criticizing Puting for doing exactly the same as we did.
What a putz.. but he's trying to make a splash in his new job.

Its more honest than our own MSM. Sure, its a continuum, sliding scale kind of thing, but still the propaganda isn't so fucking obvious and they actually cover what the MSM doesn't.

So your take is we can't say anything about Russia if we don't criticize the US government?
That's...childish. A convicted murderer can say "hey, murder is wrong" and still be absolutely correct in his statement. You seem to be arguing that hypocrisy (as seen by you) invalidates criticism.
You are incorrect.
And incidentally...the bonus army being fired on was shameful and the officers in charge if not the civilian leadership should have been punished. Severely.
Do I now have your permission to criticize Russia invading a sovereign nation?

Are you just completely forgetting that we aren't talking about Russia, we're talking about Russia marching into Crimea -- which is under Ukrainian authority -- and taking it over? The situation in Ukraine isn't about the Russian media. It's about one country invading the sovereignity of another on trumped up charges.

Clinched no doubt, by their KGB handler stealing it before the trip was through. I took Russian in high school and the teacher there used to take students on trips there every few years. He told the story once of a trip he took where at the end he took his handler to a "tourist only" store and bought him a samovar. The KGB guy couldn't go in there, and couldn't buy that kind of stuff, it just wasn't available to him.

MWR:
Who is the Ukranian authority? Wasn't Victor democratically elected?
There were no replacement elections, were there? In the muzzie world I don't care. But Victor hadn't engaged in any atrocities against his own people.
And yet here we are saying fuck democracy and somehow the interim govt now has total say and how dare it's 5 day old sovereignty be questioned by, you know, a country with significant fucking assets int his topsy turvey country.

All I'm saying is that nothing is black and white, and certainly not this situation. Not at all.
Um, yeah it is.
Ukraine = sovereign nation
Russia = invaded them
That's about as black and white as it gets.
If Canada were to suddenly decide it was interested in strengthening it's economic ties with, say, china, rather than us, would we march into Toronto? Considering that's exactly what they've intended to do since we nixed the Keystone Pipeline, the answer to that is "no."

I have no game at all folks. I've commented on here for more than a year.
I remember Kosovo, I remember thinking how in the world are we bombing the Christian homeland, these same people were slaughtered for saving US troops from the nazis. When the muzzies they are fighting were all pro Nazi and would have killed our boys.
Now again, we're are supposed to bleat Russia baaaaaaddddd. EU/West goooooddddddd. I'm not so sure anymore.
And those that say go to Russia fuck off. I will likewise call you out for being a fucking coward and allowing our country to come to this state. I want to bring our freedom back. The first step is understanding what we have lost. and Russia provides an apt comparison.

The USA has done bad things in the past, and the current administration is acting like the Chicago Machine/Tweed Ring on a drunken spree. Therefore, there cacn be no criticism of Russia invading Ukraine.
That is the concept I am seeing being pushed here (along with Criticizing Russia = Advocating for a Russo-American War) and I find those concepts to be somewhat flawed.

Because in my mind a "golf clap" is a light smattering of applause that occurs after a golf pro sinks a putt to end the hole.
But sometimes I think it's used for "80s Teen Comedy Clap." You know that one. It's where Patrick Dempsey (playing Ronnie Miller) in the movie "Can't Buy Me Love" does his whole, I'm fed up with the cools picking on the nerds and why can't we just all get along speech. And then Ronnie's former friend/head football jock starts with one loud clap, big pause, clap, pause, clap, littler pause, clap and everyone starts clapping.

Western Europe hasn't been expansionist since the 19th century.

May I have some help from the horde. Should I spend any additional time listening to Micheal Savage?
No. He's a stopped clock, but there are far better sources to listen to than him. Stick with Levin or Rush.

25 million dead Russians less than a century ago disagree with you. The odds of that happening again are pretty slim, clearly, but events like that are things people tend to learn from.

I count 10 EU countries that border Russia.
Lotta ultracrepidarianism around here.

Miss Martin however told the Telegraph: "I am not going to Crimea despite the statement RT has made."
In Soviet Crimea, news reports you.

I'm not sure that Nazi Germany and the Prussians should be considered "Western Europe."

a) the Ukraine parliament reinstating Russian as an official language
b) Ukraine agreeing to abide by the results of an independence referendum held in Crimea after the Russians leave

Guy found an opening in radio and figured that he'd have the best shot at success if he pretended to be a firebomb-throwing conservative.
If he arrived on the scene four years later he would have been on Air America.

I don't disagree about the EU, but it is not going to order troops to the borders and invade Western Russia for its wheat crop.
The EU is bureaucrats, and more bureaucrats.
And I was unaware of the standing army. Can you point me to a source?

Are we freer here? We may just be better at statist power than the soviets.

You're going full hyperbole now. Yes, we are freer here. Obama hasn't yet been made President For Life and my vote still counts--even though the choices I'm given bite the big wazoo. An IRS audit (and I had an IRS audit two years ago) is not a bullet in the brain.

Michael Savage makes me think, all right. He makes me think I'm grateful I never heard him when I was transitioning from Democrat to Republican. His rant-a-rama style grates on the nerves.
