The Ukraine situation is turning me into almost as big a cynic as Ramil.

It just shows you can sell anything you want to Europeans and Americans. Even things that are happening on our own continent, an hours flight from Berlin or Geneva.
Some very strong forces wants to control what happens in Ukraine at almost ANY price.

And while Russian TV is more truthful they are ignoring some very important questions, such as what exactly Russia will actually do, when Crimea votes "Yes" and some issues about who is allowed to protest or demonstrate about things, and when.

Many insane people in Western Europe seems to get a kick out of hating Russia, some kind of bizarre Cold War fake nostalgia or attempt at feeling superior. They actually WANT to believe propaganda and don't want to hear the other side of the story,.
People too young to remember the Cold War and the incredibly eerie vibes from that era.

Another thing is that the tactics today are much creepier and more sophisticated than back then. Psy-ops, black ops, internet surveillance and manipulation of online opinion with some very underhand mehtods.

PS - If anyone is brave enough to watch PressTV, they have a very revealing expose about how Europeans were manipulated about Ukraine beyond anything we ever experienced before.
