Hey volprof,

What would you do if you were stuck aboard the space station with a Russian who raved about Putin day after day?

Depends.

If said Russian were a hot female, I'd probably try to romance her. I do love me some Eastern European women afterall.

If said Russian were a man, I'd probably eventually beat his ass half to death.

I do admire Putin, but "day after day" seems to be a tad bit excessive.

That's more than ever came out to support separatism last year. And then the next thing you know you've got guys in military unis seizing government buildings. Moscow was obviously not very happy about the lack of separatist enthusiasm in eastern Ukraine. Had to expedite things a bit.

There have been pro-Ukrainian rallies in Donetsk. Not large enough to matter.

Meanwhile, ouch.

Putin letter to Arab summit triggers strong Saudi attack | Reuters

"He speaks about the problems in the Middle East as though Russia is not influencing these problems," he told the summit right after the letter was read out.

Relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia have been cool over Moscow's support for Assad, whom Riyadh opposes. The civil war between Assad's forces and rebels has cost more than 200,000 lives in four years.

"They speak about tragedies in Syria while they are an essential part of the tragedies befalling the Syrian people, by arming the Syrian regime above and beyond what it needs to fight its own people," Prince Saud said.

It's good to finally see someone, albeit Saudis, criticizing (and rightfully so) the deleterious Russian role in the Middle East. All the Russians ever do is arm dictators, then sit on their sorry asses and criticize the US for every ill in the region and around the globe. How about sharing some of the blame too?

Ras and Pacer's second favorite foreign leader is currently talking on 60 Minutes about what a misunderstood and swell guy he is and how awful the US is.

I wish I could blame the US govt. on all my problems too. It just seems so disingenuous to me.

One day, assuming there is a god, which there isn't so probably doesn't matter, we will string his skinny little ass up in Moscow. And Russians can stare at the absolute horror they have produced and supported while criticizing America for being so "mean."

200,000 dead Syrians stare at Russia. I hope Vladimir can sleep with hisself.

I bet it just absolutely gets in their crawl that nearly every single one of their former republics (and the same would probably apply to half of them that belong to the Russian Federation at the moment as well) like us more than them.

I just love the smug Russian bastards on that video. Hopefully they will have their rectums split open one day and get to have their carcasses laughed at in Kiev.

Look, if you want other people to like you, don't be dicks for once in your nation's history.

I liked when he talked about Syria, Iran, and Russia desiring political solutions to the conflicts.

There's a triumvirate of peace if there ever was one.

Watch the video by the join investigative team. Seems they are after witnesses and to offer protection to them. From a legal standpoint this appears to be a move to seal a legal case. Evidence is there and they are just going for the additional witnesses to confirm it as well as chip away at the obvious Russian response forthcoming as well.

Why doesn't the JIT simply ask if anyone saw the plane get shot down?

We knew there was a BUK in the area and had recoreded conversations regarding a plane shoot down in the first week.

Interesting ethnograph from 1915 showing Ukrainian spread even dipping into parts of Russia. Note Crimea as well. No doubt the Holodomor had a profound impact on the ethnicity of the region.
