Studs terkel wasn't ever in the overseas red cross. And he wasn't happy about it.

The Germans were still using equine transport in both east and west theatres in '45. It made more sense in some conditions.

“The message from the commission is very clear. We expect all member states to facilitate reverse flows as agreed by the European council in the interest of a shared energy security,” the commission spokeswoman Helene Banner said in Brussels.

bizarre. Ukraine is not even intending to apply to join the single market until 2020 yet both they and the commission seem to want to pretend they're already a member.
 
Kagarlitsky :

About 10-15,000 unemployed youth from the west were brought over to Kiev and paid to live there, for months, in order to protest in Maidan Square. What must be understood is that for these people this was the only job they had ever had in their lives. Many of them didn’t want to leave, and some even live there now because they have nowhere to go.

Interesting voice (and methods) we've not seen or heard much of:

Ukraine: Resisting nationalist polarization and Russian invasion

I was one of the founders and organizers of the women’s squadron at Maidan—because the demonstrators were divided into different squadrons. This group consisted of twenty or so very active women with a much broader influence. One of the actions of this women’s squadron was to send a delegation to Kharkov, because there was an anti-Maidan movement growing there, in order to meet with women at a square occupied by anti-Maidan demonstrators. The first reactions of those women were very negative, and we were even physically assaulted. But when we managed to start a dialogue, after 15 or 20 minutes, we found a common language because we realized that the social concerns of our movements were absolutely similar. It was the media that was misinterpreting the nature of our movement, manipulating the population, and creating a serious split between the Eastern and the Western parts of the country.

what an absolutely dreadful, despicable and deliberately misleading post . You surely cant be as ignorant as you pretend to be .

its the russian eagle, the national symbol of many millions of people and has no more to do with fascist or right wing politics than a Welsh Dragon . Its got eff all to do with tsarism either . The tsarist eagle is black, that ones gold and symbolises nothing more sinister than Russian nationality and sovereignty. One would almost think your deliberately trying to tar russians and opposition to Kievs junta with a certain brush for some reason . In the absence of any more decadent artists being sent to the camps , no doubt .

Horse are basically rubbish status symbols, mules and donkeys are way better in terms of the food/power ratio. But donkeys do suffer with wet feet, so not so great in northern Europe.

Anyway they were all good for the Germans who basically didn't have any oil, but also good for everyone since you can scrounge food for them as you move, no need for huge logistical re-supply chains.
 
Lugansk People's Republic makes homosexuality illegal - according to a pro-seperatist/putin support site.

With a view to the effective implementation of this initiative, the People's Assembly Khokhlov, introduced the members of parliament a draft law "on the protection of the Christian traditions of the people of Lugansk region from the harmful effects of hostile states customs, such as the European Union, Canada and the United States."

" Under this law, relations between citizens of the same sex shall be punished by imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years, or correctional labor for a term of two to four years. The same actions committed with the use of physical force, threats, or juvenile, or by using the dependent position of the victim, shall be punished by imprisonment for a term not exceeding eight years or by death " - told pro-Ukrainian journalist Filimonenko.

This discussion of symbolism in no way covers up for you deliberately jew-baiting frogwoman. You've got some brass fucking balls to start on at others given that you haven't absolutely grovelled about your anti semite slip.


Why don't you put down the book titled 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' and start living in the real world. The world where you don't use racist thinking to tar anyone who disagrees with you. If the things you have said were in a mainstream mod-read thread you'd have been hoofed out the door for what you said. And no there is no grand pm conspiracy to have you banned you paranoid dickhead. Apologise to frogwoman.
 
pulling her up on her latest fake slurs is by no means jew baiting in any manner. if she or anyone else doesnt want contradicted then simply dont post up rubbish attacks with no factual basis like the one above..one in a long line.
its not a fascist or tsarist symbol..simple as.. and its common knowledge to anyone with a shred of knowledge about the place. Pointing that out isnt jew baiting and well you know it . And ill be fucked if i ever apologsie for contradicting anyone making pretty lousy claims like that to demonse a race of people under a false pretext that ther national symbol is a fascist one.

and quite the cunts trick too...denouncing me as a jew baiter who should be banned while insisting theres nobody trying to get me banned. Plainly contradicting wild claims like above will result in accusatons of bigotry..unprompted by pm.

take yourself off along with these crackers

anti semite

some brass fucking balls

you haven't absolutely grovelled

fuck
 
You love being a 'victim.'

In all the times I've visited that country I've never heard anyone go on about 'their' national symbol.

As far as I can see frogwoman made a mistake (and the above is derived from its imperial history even if given different meaning now).

A 'race of people'? What do you mean exactly?

you utter fucking fantasist. You know quite well that I am wondering why you have failed to back up on your previous 'some jewish beef' with a full and frank apology and yet seize gleefully on an honest mistake. Your problem is, dickhead, that you hate to be gainsayed in any manner and will resort to racial slurs if pressed- don't you also have form for hating on roma? whats next, slavs trade unionists and commies? you have some very specific hatreds and they have specific historical parallels. Sort it out.

the woman has regularly levelled any slur going against the people in the south resisting Kiev . The latest honest mistake in a long line . Set against a backdrop of blatant openly tolerated russophobia in western european media and on this site ive a perfect right to object to it and ask why such open hatred .

the rest of your post is just hysterical dishonest bollocks..pure and simple. Much like the last one.

No she has not. This is a lie.

Outline the long line - it should be easy.

Urgh, leaving all lies aside for the minute, "the woman", god you're a disgusting prick.

The original flag/logo which was meant to symbolise unity between red and black, socialists/communists and anarchists against fascism now seems to be regarded as fair game for hijacking with national flags and symbols of ethnic identity.

I think the original was actually two red flags symbolising the unity between the KPD and SPD in Germany.

you mean you are icapable of the most basic self examination and have let prejudices fester for so long you can no longer recognize your own bigotry. Characterize that as hysteria if you like. Whatever keeps you warm at night eh

yep, the irony!
 
I don't know what this is about, and I've got CR on ignore, so don't know what I'm meant to have said. Basically in no way have I insulted any race over the course of this thread. unless he's got me confused with somebody else? :confused:
