after that update from Shapiro.
I can't wait for the day when Western police refuse to open fire on protesters in our own countries.
Damn!! Why was Brennan meeting with the interim government?
Is Kiev a puppet of the West - that Chris Hayes asking not me.
The shit has hit the fan.

(27,993 posts)But though even words like juju-flop, swut, and turlingdrome are now perfectly acceptable in common usage, there is one word that is still beyond the pale. The concept it embodies is so revolting that the publication or broadcast of the word is utterly forbidden in all parts of the galaxy except one - where they dont know what it means. That word is Belgium "Ukraine".
I was just thinking how absolutely absurd the reality of what's happening in Ukraine was today - you couldn't make up what went down today.

The Right wants to downplay The Fear because it interferes with their Brinkmanship.
The Left wants to downplay The Fear because memories of The Red Scare still haunts.
Example: How many people, except history buffs, have even heard of the Baruch Plan?

History buffs and some academics study all the plans.
