Teekert gave a link to back up what they said, unlike you with your almost anonymous account and smarmy attitude. Ukraine just substituted one oligarchy for another but the current one has Western support ( IMF debt ). I agree with the perception of heavy Western news bias which is not credible. No credibility for the cursing Nuland handing out cookies, violent Kiev street thugs, and Kiev junta bombing their own people. It is not just 2 regions, remember Crimea voted for autonomy and no one is rioting to return to the Ukraine junta. And I'm not Russian, just US resident who is partly Latino who knows how the gringos operate. KGB jokes are pretty old you should update your humor, especially as KGB predate the Internet.

In the internet age as in any other time in history, whoever controls the communication channels win.

For now IMO the winners are: Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple(on the top but sliding down?), Amazon, US Gov, NSA, CIA, FBI, KGB, Russian Gov, Chinese Gov (win by block out others), Badu, Alibaba, WeChat, Line, SnapChat,

For now, the losers or losing players are : Yahoo, Nokia, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Liberian Gov, Ukraine, Egypt(almost?), Most of Japanese Electronic firms.
