Short video at link is headlining on our state media website, and has protesters against (and pro) US involvement in Ukraine in front of the Whitehouse. The person speaking is a socialist and green party candidate and activist, checking his wikipedia page. He says 53% of americans are against further involvement in Ukraine.

That many Putin lovers! What?!?

Kidding of course, I don't believe in a universe with binary choices or in binary thinking. Bush started the "with us or against us" simplicity, it's past time to get back to grown-up discussion.

1. this is one guy

[functioning_cog]

2. using that, we have many far right fascistic style parties in our government

this one guy in his brief quoted bit doesn't strike me as a credible person. And he seems to be very easily manipulated by propaganda if he thinks it would be unwise for the U.S. to support the government of Ukraine.

3. Here Is The Real Sentiment Of The Country, Sir

“The very real threat of a Russia-Ukraine war has completely polarized the general public, pitting two deeply entrenched blocs against one another: those who have absolutely no clue what they’re talking about and those who couldn’t care less,” said Pew spokesman Andrew Collins, noting that the ouster of Ukraine’s president Viktor Yanukovych and Russia’s subsequent occupation of Crimea has inflamed tensions between the two sides to a level unseen since the height of the war in Syria. “This is not a distinctly regional or socioeconomic split, either. We’re seeing local workplaces, friends, even families ripped in two by their desire to either ignore the whole thing completely or spout an inane, half-witted opinion on it like they’re some geopolitical expert.”

5. Sums it up n/t

6. Oh my God. I laughed, I cried. That is the most accurate and most breathtakingly true

depiction (especially here) that I've seen.

7. A lot of the Socialists and Marxists support Putin. That's usually where the non-Republican support

for him comes from.

8. Which Is Funny, Sir, Because He Is The World's Premier Rightist At Present....

[okaawhatever]

10. Oh believe me, I don't get it either. I think it may be a certain fondness for communist Russia, I

don't know, but even if you look at DU many of the Putin supporters are also Marxist and Socialist. I didn't come to that conclusion without seeing many examples because I don't understand it.

9. Non-interventionists disgust me as much as adventurists like Bush.

If only we all could be as awesome as the "just don't do it" or "drop a bomb" crowds.
