ONCE again we hear that Russia is the aggressor in the Ukraine when it is quite clear that EU expansionism led by Germany, who have all ways yearned to control the East and now has a right wing government in place. Who caused the so called uprising and who funded it? The Ukrainian government is shelling and killing its own citizens and doing its best to restart the Cold War not the Russians.

Yaroslaw Tymchyshyn claims Putin and his like only embark on such policies when they problems at home, ahh now I can understand why Cameron, Obama and co acted as the did in Libya and Syria both have resulted in massive civilian deaths The West not the East is the problem.
