and everything Russian Government says is right. Got it.

By the way, read the comments on Youtube for this video - hilarious! Especially the one accusing Ms. Nuland of being an Israeli and right-wing Jewish agent...

that Western Ukraine is and has always been anti-Russian and pro-independence. For ages (literally). No Western influence required.

So to paint Ukrainian protesters as somehow propped up by Chevron (and US) is not just historically wrong, but disingenuous as well.

say so then why would I believe my lying eyes? I can assure you that multinational corporations do meddle in the affairs of states including the USA to deny that is not just historically wrong, but disingenuous as well.

multinational corporations do meddle in the affairs of states including the USA. I agree with that.
However, not every freedom movement in every country owes multinational corporations everything (see: Arab Spring, for example).

On a separate note, I appreciate your copy/paste skills.

rant. Corp-America may meddle heavily in the affairs of nations, but it's really for the good of the people. Dont you agree?

The Ambassador is admitting that we met with the opposition and have financed them while standing between two corporate logos that are in the energy sector. Hmmm what goes through the Ukraine? That's right a PIPELINE! Imagine my surprise. And she insists that a sovereign country follow IMF instructions. But we are going to pretend it's all about the little people's freedom.
