Natural news is gay. But this comment was good though. >No matter how ruthless and old school KGB Putin is, he hasn't cost the world nearly as much pain, suffering, wars, or outright lies, as the U.S.! How many young American men and women have died or become maimed for a lie? And, just ask yourself why America has military bases all over the world, and Russia doesn't! Ask yourself why Russia would be concerned about being surrounded by NATO nations with firepower aimed at Moscow ... a Cuban missile crisis in reverse where we almost went to war with Russia because they put missiles in Cuba. Quit making lame and mentally retarded pleas in support of Ukraine when you've have sat idly by while your own freedoms are taken away at home! Quit making excuses for why you can barely make ends meet, while elites, celebrities, and athletes. flaunt their wealth! It was Kierkegaard who said "people demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought, which they seldom use" ... in-other-words, we are mindless 'sheep'!
