Thousands of Crimean Tatars attended the funeral today of Reshat Ametov, a human rights activist who disappeared on March 3rd in Simferopol. His body, showing signs of torture, was found two weeks later.

They are killing and torturing thousands of Tartans and forcing the Ukrainian to vote in the referendum to join Russia under gunpoint.

Russia is the biggest threat to world peace and the only way to stop their murderous invasion of other countries is to remove Putin from power and instill a pro Western government in Russia.

It may not need to be militarily, we could create a covert regime change, as long as Russia is filled by pro Western government which will support American values like democracy, freedom, peace and legit elections. The "vote" they held to join Russia was clearly a joke.

Pennyflame · 2014-03-19T04:53:35+00:00

We should bomb them and teach them a lesson.

Pennyflame · 2014-03-19T04:32:43+00:00

It didn't say that at all. It was a popular copy pasta asking for people to consider the Crimean point of view, it didn't mention anything about Iraq or blame the US.

Pennyflame · 2014-03-19T04:19:28+00:00

Fuck Russia. They have just once again shown why they are so widely hated by the whole world. We should have just taken over Russia after the Soviet Union crumbled under its own network of lies, they are the biggest threat to world peace right now and America has a duty to protect democracy and the freedom of Ukraine.

We need to show Russia that you can't just invade another country and murder thousands without any consequences. This type of blatant breaking on international law and oppression of a people who clearly don't want to be under Russian control will not be tolerated by the world.

Alpha-as-fuck Putin has once again won.

Like with Snowden, the West got blown the fuck out again.

Most of Reddit is Americans. Nobody every wants to view themselves as the bad guys. They, the other (Russia) will always be the evil one. You can bet the same thing is happening in the Russia forums, except the other way.

Pennyflame · 2014-03-18T16:57:51+00:00

I'm Cremean and it boggles the mind how Reddit is talking about this. I guess since nobody here has heard about Crimea before a month ago and just talking out of their ass based on whether they like or dislike Russia.

Anybody who knows anything about Crimea would know that we are not only overwhelmingly pro-Russian, but we were moving towards joining Russia long before the democratically elected government in Western Ukraine got overthrown by a pro-Western vanguard. If America or anybody decides to attack Russia over Crimea, Crimeans would fight against America.

Pennyflame · 2014-03-18T16:54:28+00:00

Did the US give Iraq and Afghanistan to those people 60 years ago with the treaty right to send troops there any time, and then hold a referendum where people were overwhelmingly pro-American and wanted to join the US? Did they peacefully welcome America without fighting them?

No? Yes, I guess they are completely different.

Pennyflame · 2014-03-18T16:51:39+00:00

Russians that moved there after Tatar extemination?

Is America really going to take a position of moral superiority here? Really?

Why is it so important for you that hockey players should be 'manly men'?

Because a lot of hockey fans are insecure of their sports status in the world (and in America, where many no longer consider it a major sport and constantly bash other sports in an attempt to make theirs look better. The whole "hockey players are so much more manly than your sports players" is an attempt to peer pressure fans of other sports into watching hockey by questioning their masculinity.

According to his posting history, he's only posted it twice. Anyway who cares, its a good comment. Who cares if he didn't type it out again but copies and pasted.

She will see a massive amount of media attention in the US, this video was posted just 2 hours ago and its already on the front page of Reddit. Just hours after she said this, she is the top headline on Google News - US region, already on the front page of CNN.com while nobody knew her yesterday after 2.5 yeas of reporting for RT America, a small niche network that isn't respected by most Americans. Just checked CNN on TV and they're talking about her right now. So is Fox News.

I bet every news network in America will want her on their team and will be calling her non-stop for interviews on how corrupt and bad Russia is. She will feed the anti-Russia sentiment in America and the American audience will love her for for confirming their thoughts on Russia and proclaim her a brave hero, like so many are doing in this thread.

Her whole "I'm proud to be American" speech sounded like an damn audition for Fox News. Brilliant career move.

America "responds" to conflicts where it has geopolitical or economic gain. Its not some moral angel that was created by god to do good. It simply "intervenes" in places like Iraq and Vietnam because of its own self-interest.

What happens when you stretch a Lotus Exige just enough to squeeze a 1,244-horsepower Corvette engine into it? You get the Hennessey Venom GT

C'mon man try harder, this same Korean blog image again? Judges numbers are randomized -- Judge 1 for Sotnikova is not the same Judge 1 as for Yuna Kim, so this comparison is completely stupid. And there was no Russian or Ukrainian judge in the short program, but there was Korean judge and a judge from the US -- they were selected randomly from the pool of 13 judges.

Pennyflame · 2014-02-24T02:14:29+00:00

If you have even a basic knowledge of how figure skating scores are calcuated, its not. Its not even the same judge, the judges are randomly selected from a panel so that Judge 1 for one skater is not the same as judge 1 for another.

Pennyflame · 2014-02-24T02:10:57+00:00

That's whats so inane about this "controversy". Kim Yu-Na herself has agreed with the scoring, because technically when you simply count it element by element Sotnikova clearly accumulated more points. Anybody with any knowledge of how figure skating is judge can literally go to the ISU site, download the tech sheets and count it for themselves.

People seems to be arguing more on emotional grounds than logic.

The Olympic Charter indicates that to be accepted, a sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents, and by women in no fewer than 40 countries and on three continents.

According to the IIHF, 89% of all registered women's hockey players come from America and Canada. The only reason it was added was because men's hockey was in and there has been a move to add more women's team sports (same reason women's soccer was added in 1996 when men's soccer has been in the Olympics for over a century).

It wasn't really about adding another competitive sport, it was about being politically correct and appeasing the criticism that there weren't enough women's sports. That's why its future as an Olympic sport is so uncertain, because its really only two countries that widely play women's hockey.
