Anyone who despises neo-Nazism is against Russia. It's the false equivalence that people fall for. Ironically, a world moulded in the likeness of the USA allows people to think these insane thoughts, you're entitled to think and say what you want. A worlkd dominated by Russia will police thought and deed with extreme prejudice.

Far too ready to fall for the demonisation of Russia and Putin. Far too easily a victim of the "Look over there" mentality. At this rate you'll soon blame Putin for your "council" tax.<br /><br />Putin is indeed bad news and deserves condemnation where earned. But he doesn't even come close to every Yank president since FDR or every Brit prime minister since Clem Atlee. Since the Second World War the West has caused criminal humanitarian disasters that dwarf even the Holocaust.<br /><br />On this issue you sound more like Fox/Sky than Fox/Sky. It might be propaganda-useful to try to tie Putin to the far right loonies by association. But in the long run it'll fail of its own absurdity and will be exposed in the same manner as CIA/MI6 criminal plots of the past, as were the Thatcher government plots and lies.<br /><br />It's a pity you are a sucker on this issue. But that's life. Nobody's perfect.<br /><br />Alan Cliffordnoreply@blogger.com
