If her new boss finds out that she's more popular than him, she could find herself being the Attorney General in Siberia, or just disappear altogether, like old days. Laughing


Implying Putin or any other leader in Russia even gives a crap about the Otaku.

She's cute, yes, but she's also evil and hypocritical.

She denounces the unconstitutional armed seizure of power in Ukraine but ignores the unconstitutional armed seizure of power in Crimea.

She cites what the prosecutor's office is supposed to uphold like the rule of law and democracy but ignores that the previous Ukrainian President was a corrupt bastard who stole billions from the country and had ordered sham trials against opposition MPs.

She believes that the source of power in Ukraine is the people themselves and yet refuses to accept the will of the people in overthrowing an evil man; she claims no-one can usurp state power even though she just said that power is derived from the people themselves.

Following on from that, she denounces bloodspilling but ignores how many protesters were killed by snipers.

Her hypocrisy makes me so sick I can't watch anymore of the video. What an evil woman. Shame on you lot for liking her.

Wow you are a brainwashed idiot to put it simply. I've addressed most of this already. The biggest problems is its already been proven that the snipers were from the protesters themselves and not the police. But what ever who needs facts when it makes things complicated.

Alright, tovarishch, I want proof for this assertion. Preferably from a credible news source and not the insane ramblings of a conspiracy theorist. RT doesn't count.

Ask anyone from those countries. That's how I get my sources, looks like I should be a journalist, too bad they don't hire people who want to show the truth.

Legally elected President of Ukraine reneged on EU arrangement, when people protest, illegally expanded powers and ban protests, fled to Russia via coup including some fascists, Putin says those are not Russian troops in Crimea, in the upcoming Ukraine election there'd be less Russian voters without Crimea.

Gotta say, already broke one of journalists' rules: sources do not equal proof. Other factors like the quality of the source, corroborating evidence, paper trails, etc.

A Spacey Penguin, The new Ukranian government are not neo nazis; Europe wouldn't put up with them if they were. And the claims that protestors killed other protestors to incite further violence is baseless speculation from people with a vested interest in de-legitimising the new government.

I have further nothing to say to a troll like you.

People like you are what is destroying this great nation of America, and its pathetic that you can't even take the time out of your day to researcher a topic. And Europe not putting up with Neo-Nazis? Have you seen who Europe has shacked up with historically? Ignorance is a very dangerous thing and is how this disease of globalism spreads.

In the end, what ultimately matters here is how the Crimeans perceive the new Ukrainian government and how they feel about reannexation by Russia. While the second one's up for debate, it's pretty much established that they despise the new guys and the region was a bastion of support for the old. It's hardly surprising their new Attorney General would tow that line.

I think the only thing we can establish is that there is no way Ukraine gets Crimea back and that there aren't enough people with guns in Crimea, who would want to stay in Ukraine.

So basically a part of Europe is on the brink of war, and Japan has their hands in their pants.

It's the blind willingness to accept anything on a screen without doing research. I don't want people to just believe me and regurgitate my talking points, or just keep them as their own opinion. I want people to look at what I'm saying, see how stark the contrast is to what corporate media is spouting out, and look up what I'm talking about and do their own digging. And if one person changed how they approach media and becomes someone who rather inform themselves than listen to talking points of others I'll feel like I did something more than argue with people who don't honestly care about these people and like their ideas of the world as is and won't change them no matter how many facts arise. (not a big fan of organized religion either but that shouldn't be a surprise.) Regardless political stuff makes me sad so I'm going back to complaining how moe and harems are the devil, animation is art, and how people who say anime and cartoons are lacking a basic understanding of the medium as a whole. -.( >3> ).- I'm done with this forum, peace people!
