    Why would a government backed by the USA who in turn control NATO who in effect surround Russia, be a threat?

    You do know Hitler used the same excuse that Putin is using now?

    Tell me this and tell me no more, why would you believe/trust anything Putin says?


    Russian soldiers have not occupied government buildings and surrounded Ukrainian military bases on the Crimean Peninsula, Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted Tuesday during a news conference near Moscow at which he gave an account of recent events that contradicts reports from the ground. Instead, he told reporters that the heavily armed men are "local self-defense forces." What's more, anything Russia has done, Putin said without offering specifics, has been part of a "humanitarian mission" to protect ethnic Russians in Crimea.

    Are you proposing that NATO are planning to attack Russia? If they are, then it's a bit short-sighted to have removed nearly all UK forces from Germany (and the rest will be gone in 4 years) don't you think?

    You can't be that gullible that you believe such nonsense can you?

    I haven't listened to a word Putin said

    Ukraine had an elected government overthrown. Those usurpers are backed by NATO allies

    We are happily watching a democracy being overthrown because they were pro Russian

    The Ukraine government fled to Russia

    Much like the French to England

    This sums things up in a nutshell really.

    You have sited a list of near misses between russian and western aircraft in Syria, and have claimed it as evidence of Russian Imperialism.

    You seem to have missed one little factor out though.....

    RUSSIA IS SYRIA'S ALLIE AND HAS BEEN INVITED THERE BY ITS GOVERNMENT

    AMERICA IS NOT SYRIA'S ALLIE AND HAS NOT BEEN INVITED THERE BY ITS GOVERNMENT. BUT IT'S STILL THERE ANYWAY.


    ERGO ....

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    See if you can finish it yourself, by replacing the x s with a rational conclusion <ok>

    If I had to choose I think I'd rather live in the US than Russia. So would most Russians, probably.
