PhuturePriest Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 What? You're a cheating pinko commie. Duh.
brandelynmarie Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I am sympathetic to your view on this, but blazingstar's as well... If you watch the major news channels and read major newspapers, you are likely to be very poorly informed (which is what they want.) However, there are plenty of American news sources and it's very easy to be well informed if you so choose. For instance, I was following this Ukranian stuff via my favorite, very well trafficked sources, as far back as the first week of december, if not earlier. What do you recommend? I try to follow multiple sources so I have a more balanced idea of what is happening in the world...
4588686 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 You're a cheating pinko commie. Duh. I'm just unsure of what socialists have to do with this since the Ukranian President is not a socialist.
NotreDame Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Hasan, FP pretty much nailed it with his commie comment, but I see a former party member who is under the thumb of a former KGB agent... it doesn't get more socialist than that in my book... Brandelynmarie, if I could read only one site, it would be instapundit.com, which is really more of an aggregator, but if you read that site you won't agree with everything, but you'll get a wide variety of links covering trending issues, political, economic, and social. There are other sites I follow, but most of those sites he'll link to from time to time.

He was in the Communist Party when that was the best method to attain political power, twenty years ago. When the USSR fell he changed his ideological affiliation. Which is why he no longer identifies as a communist and is not a member of a Socialist party now. That's a pretty common trend throughout the former USSR and Warsaw Pact regions.

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Sounds like we are focusing outside instead of inside, heal yourself, than heal your local parish, than heal your local community, than heal the u.s.a. Than and only than consider healing the world. At least try. :) Start by switching off all media including movies and television programs, and rise from the media comma and rise for real not just with your tounge and mind, go fish. Young men of GOD, RISE UP! I care about the world, but also not much i can do except yap about things outside of my local dojo. We had a riot in redfern a few years ago, molitoffs and rocks, over a teenage boy dying in a police chase. JC " I will make you fishers of Men." P.s. You may only catch one or two in your lifetime and many failures but at least try, and don't stop at one or two if you do catch one or two. If you can't tell i'm way anti media and way pro fishing for relaxation, once you get the hang of it it's easy and there are plenty of different ways to go fishing and any christian can and is called to do this to some degree or another. Who cares what people think and say, really. LETS GO GET EM'! Edited February 20, 2014 by Tab'le De'Bah-Rye
PhuturePriest Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Sweet Jesus. The latest news is in: Yesterday, the president of Ukraine gave in and called for a truce and end to the violence. What he didn't mention was that this was a trap to get people into the open, and that as soon as the people were vulnerable, there were cops and military waiting with guns. They opened fire and killed 70 people. Saint Zachary, Patron Saint of peace, pray for us.
Selah Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 St. Olga, help them. Most Holy Theotokos, save us. All Holy Trinity, have mercy.

This strife has nothing to do with socialism. Edited February 22, 2014 by Hasan
NotreDame Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 -The current Ukrainian state does not constitutionally identify as a socialist state -The President of Ukraine is not and does not claim to be a socialist -The Communist Party is illegal in Ukraine -The Socialist party in Ukraine is a marginal party in Ukrainian politics. -The current Ukrainian state does not constitutionally identify as a socialist state Which might be why the people of the west are protesting and pulling down lenin statues: So the Ukraine doesn't go full Venezuela. -The President of Ukraine is not and does not claim to be a socialist Viktor belongs to a non-ideological party, but this is typical for marxists trying to take power, to hide their intentions ala Castro. And he was a member of the communist party, he is aligned with Russia, run by former KGB and you don't know he's not socialist. He certainly was socialist previously. -The Communist Party is illegal in Ukraine Umm... Earth to Hasan-Baby! No it's not. It has 32 seats in the parliament! -The Socialist party in Ukraine is a marginal party in Ukrainian politics. The "socialist" party, svoboda, is more of a hitler socialism than a marxist socialism, so it doesn't have a lot of fans, but it does have about 30 seats in parliament still.
NotreDame Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Y mi gente esta protestando contra el pinche socialismo en Venezuela tambien:
PhuturePriest Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Latest news: The president has fled Kiev, and the people have taken control of the city. The president refuses to give up his power, but losing the capital is quite symbolic in a major loss of his original power. If he can't control his people, what power did he really have in the first place?

The president refuses to give up his power, but losing the capital is quite symbolic in a major loss of his original power. If he can't control his people, what power did he really have in the first place? Well, it's primarily a regional struggle. The capital is in the western half and Yanukovych has gone back to his power base in the east. The army has vowed to stay out of what they currently consider a political issue (thank God), but the eastern folks are talking about militia's and who knows what Putin might do to support them.

Why would Putin have anything to do with it? Russia doesn't control the Ukraine anymore. I think part of the reason why I'm so into this whole issue is because I'm part Russian. :P

PhuturePriest Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Was that a serious question? I don't know much about Ukranian politics. I do know the Ukraine is its own country and is no longer controlled by Russia.
4588686 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I don't know much about Ukranian politics. I do know the Ukraine is its own country and is no longer controlled by Russia. That's ok. Neither does NotreDame. Which is why it's a little ironic that's he's taking such a condescending tone towards you. Putin has a great deal to do with this since a major facet of Putin's foreign policy is to reintegrate the former Soviet Space into Russia's sphere of influence.
NotreDame Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I don't know much about Ukranian politics. I do know the Ukraine is its own country and is no longer controlled by Russia. Putin doesn't like it when ethnic groups in former soviet satellite countries want to break away... For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_South_Ossetia_war
