Huh, evidence. In what century is that guy living? PS: Remember the universal "respectable" consensus to justify the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, a consensus based upon a huge lie from the US and British governments? "There are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq". Be wary of the spin from "respectable" media and political sources - always.

Or is this another post that is becoming more and more common on Boards, spouting nonsense, and claiming something that has never been said. Yay for democracy. One person, one vote. Anyone know when the next European referendum is? And which way have we to vote so they don't make us vote a second time, again??

If you look at it from a statistical point of view the US and EU have caused far more death and destruction around the world than Russia has. But the media portray it differently, sit down and read the facts from an outside point of view and you might have a different perception.

No one is suggesting one side is whiter than white when it comes to the middle east, for example.However there is a continual deflection by the same old few here, presumably purposefully, from the fact that Putin is attacking Western democracies, in an effort to destabilise them, and install totalitarian regimes where possible. He wants to break up the EU, with the eventual aim of re-colonising former Soviet Bloc republics. Poland is in trouble, Hungary is run by fascists and Crimea isn't the end of his expansionist plans.

Actually that’s stuff and nonsense. The polish regime may be right wing but it is pro NATO and anti Russian. Hungary is also anti Russian. And Crimea is probably the limit of his ambitions. The supposed interference in democracies is supposedly a few tweets and a news channel people can choose to watch or not - in short democratic discourse. Unlike the USSR which did have a planned world global hegemony, modern Russia does not. The neo conservatives do of course.
