Utter fools.
Just look at the track record and tell me it is a good idea to go off warmongering. AGAIN. 10 years ago people like me said this invasion of Iraq will end in disaster. Civil war, sectarian war and atrocities by the bucketload. Right werent we. Will you listen now when we say that once again invading, bombing and occupation will just make it worse. Another 10 years of this idiocy and IS will have their caliphate and it will stretch from Libya all the way to Turkey. Then they really will be able to threaten us. Wake up fools. You are being conned and we all will most likely pay a high price. FIGHT WAR NOT WARS! Posted by mikk, Saturday, 18 October 2014 10:55:56 AM

Halduell,
I'd be very wary of claims that Right Sector are "Nazis" or that the National Guard carried out massacres. http://www.jpost.com/Jewish-World/Jewish-Features/Ukraines-far-Right-pays-tribute-to-Jewish-man-slain-in-protests-345931 When I read "Neo Nazi" I don't automatically think "Nationalist", 99% of the time these "Nazis" are working for the people they are supposed to hate, the remaining 1% are just idiots and kooks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTKP-LAVBOU&list=UUIibK0GTXCaQCAamJAepm1g The words "far right" are a euphemism for "pro Israel", " Far Right" groups are set up all over the world to protect Jewish interests while genuine Nationalists are simply ignored by both the mainstream and alternative journalists.

Killarney, I understand your feeling. In a world filled with lies and endless wars and little hope of any real change or movement towards lasting PEACE, it's easy to think: Why bother?
The Forces of Predatory Capitalism and Corrupt Christianity are massive and powerful and both are backed by the MSM and the Corporate Crooks. The world is approaching a tipping point, one that, inevitably will involve nuclear war. The U.S., the Empire of Evil, will use nukes to ensure it marginalizes Russia and China. The result of that will be a Pyrrhic victory of massive proportions but Americans can't see that, so caught up are they believing that their might is right and they are exceptional. Americans still live in the world of the sixgun. They are retarded primitives! Buy yourself a box of wine and have a party. Might as well enjoy the last days of Earth.

On one hand, one group says we should avoid doing anything that might aggravate the trouble the west's having with this pesky ISIL mob. On the other hand, there are some of you who say we should escalate our response to ISIL's continued attacks by bombing the hell out of them? So who's right, and who's wrong? I don't think any of you have the slightest idea of what's really occurring over there, and neither do I. I see the author of this theme has claimed he's ex. this and ex. that so what? Why would he have any greater or lesser understanding of this issue, than anyone else for that matter? If he does, perhaps there's someone in the intelligence community is violating security, and should be brought to account. If it's just speculation, well it's just another persons opinion and nothing more.
However, there is one indisputable fact. Within the next quarter to half century, there will be another world war, between the Islamic nations, and the non Islamic nations, or if you prefer, the Infidels. Anybody who disputes this, must be incredibly sheltered and completely oblivious to the deteriorating nature of the events in Middle East, a place where most of the worlds oil stocks to come from.

There is much in what you say Killarney!
And I was one of the most surprised people, when in The first Gulf war, we pulled out with job half done, and the Butcher of Baghdad firmly ensconced, and able to take to his own people, with a murderous pogrom, just because they were encourage by Bush senior, to claim back their forfeited freedom. It'd be great if we had a time machine and go back and do things differently, correct past mistakes! We can't and all that remains is not to repeat the mistakes that allowed things like the exampled absolutely shameful Rwandan genocide, when we should have mobilized at a UN level, and protected the innocent from the brutal ethnic cleansing; that started and ended that shameful chapter in human history. We should have simply not waited for the UN security council, but as we did in the genocide/ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia; just get in there, and take to the aggressor, with a great big stick. Otherwise, why have a great big stick!? Most of the Muslims that were saved by that action, even though Russia exercised its veto, are thankful for the Wests' "interference"? As are, I dare say, the Kurds and other less violent Muslims, living in the area now claimed by Isil! Doing nothing in Bosnia was not an option and neither is it an option in Syria or Iraq! Continuing Russian objections that very effectively emasculate the UN, need to be ignored, just as we did in Bosnia! Cheers, Rhrosty. Posted by Rhrosty, Saturday, 18 October 2014 2:13:36 PM

Maybe so, but in Ukraine where his legacy is a growing daily reality, silence seems to reign on the perils of going down the Hitler path. The neo-Nazis who really do laud his example are leaving behind them mass graves of the killed, some tortured and possibly farmed for body parts, now being found in areas being cleared of mines by rebel militia from Donbass. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has confirmed this.
And from the West, from those employing the Hitler trope? Nothing.
