How can you trust any polls of the people subjugated by the Russian military? Like - really?! They had soldiers at every corner there telling them to vite uncle Vlad - of course they behaved!

They weren't subjugated, though. You can look up video and photo yourself, the people of Crimea largely welcomed the Russian troops.

I don't see what's wrong with telling a country that they should sort out their financial house before coming to us for handouts. Face it, Ukraine had 25 fucking years to build a halfway decent country, and they failed in ever measure. Their country is one of the most corrupt country in the former Soviet Union, it's one of the poorest (if not the poorest) in the former USSR, it's one of the most unstable, it's one of the most fickle. Why should we prop up a country that has spent the last 25 years sabotaging itself?

Actually, provided by largely pro-Ukrainian or Western sources, like those polls.

Also, here in the US, we believe in the freedom of the Press and freedom of opinion.

Pew Research Center and Gallup are pro-Ukrainian? Why can't we simply label certain sources as just reliable, not biased to one side or another?

I wasn't referring to those, I was referring to Vice News' series on the Ukrainian conflict, where they did show that the Russian military was unopposed in Ukraine (they referred to it as "the most chill military occupation ever"), and that was a series where they literally went on patrol with the Azov Battalion.

Banning Russian software would be the equivalent of the USA banning software created by black developers. It is unnecessarily racist, most of the software isn't even affiliated with the Russian government. While Russia clearly isn't a perfect country, there isn't a need to block out what their companies have created. The situation vaguely reminds me of how the USSR banned most Western merchandise, and now Ukraine is banning theirs. What most people do not understand is that in every country, there are multiple ethnic groups. Ukraine has many peoples, but the west side is supported by the US, making them more powerful.

I have to start somewhere. Do you honestly believe someone's involved enough and petty enough about this topic and this thread to turn back time roughly a day ago and make an account and wait specifically for this topic to post something?

You do know that West Ukraine killed so many women and children right? Not to mention they actually are Nazi`s and want all Russian speakers exterminated which is wrong last time I checked! :unsure:

What must be understood is that in every culture, there are good and bad people (you can even go further to the point where a person is not entirely good or bad). In Eastern and Western Ukraine, there are good people, living normal lives. The media only focuses on the loudest people, who are coincidentally the worse ones. For example, American media will do anything to portray Serbs as bad, even though there are many good and some bad people from the culture.

Earlier this year, they also blocked Steven Seagal from entering Ukraine for five years. The french actor Gérard Depardieu has also been blocked from entering Ukraine. Has we all know, Ukraine is going bust. Seems the EU. in June will be allowing Ukrainians free visa entry to some EU. nations. So will there be a stampede of Ukrainians leaving. Has the EU. traded the Syrian stampede for a Ukrainian stampede.

No idea what are you talking about here. Are you one of the "true believers" of Krelmlin's propaganda? Jews are safe and sound in Ukraine - they even have the opportunity to fill the highest post in the country (e.g. Prime Minister). But, yeah, lets talk about the mythical anti-semitism here!

Yeah you're right there aren't any national political figures spouting ethnic slurs against Jews and there especially aren't any neo nazi paramilitaries running around the country.
