You do realize that the US would also be annihilated, right? What about this makes you feel better, exactly?

Not sure what ideas you have about Russians and Ukrainians, but they're not exactly different people; they didn't kick out "Ukrainians" to move in "Russians". What do you mean "if Ukraine goes"? The rebels wanted representation in government, since their views make up close to half the country. Kiev said fuck you, so…

Because until 20 years ago, they were/are one people? Banning a language that the majority of the country speaks is a bit provocative, no? On top of that, everyone in Eastern Ukraine has relatives in Russia, and vice versa. Indiscriminate shelling of their living spaces tends to piss people off, and those same people…

Newsflash - they're Ukranians. They live in Ukraine, they have Ukrainian passports, houses, and parents. The fact that some Russian hicks came down to join them in fighting does not invalidate their cause. Shit, a few Poles came down and joined Kiev's army to fight. Does that invalidate the other side? On top of that,…

There are people being killed in Ukraine as we speak; tons of civilians, by Kiev. You're worried about potential people being killed while ignoring the actual people being killed at this moment?

Yes, I know you sold them to the USA; hence the use of "terrorists". What do you think they did with the weapons, hang them in their living room?

So why isn't BMW involved in this lawsuit? I can rip CDs to my car, I can upload MP3s to the car from a USB drive. I can even back up the entire collection on a USB drive (although encrypted).

Oh, I'm only allowed to call you out on your bullshit if I'm a piece of shit warmonger who buys illegal weapons from Russia and re-sells them to terrorists? Okay, then. Sorry. Piece of shit baby boomers...not too long left hopefully.

When did I say it was an air-to-air weapon?

Who do you mean by "we"? Because Eastern Ukraine has been getting bombed for weeks - a few hundred civilians dead. I would like some sources though on which nationalities make up the militias - what makes you think a significant portion aren't Ukranians? I haven't seen any information on this outside of "gut feel".

Last time I read some studies, my tax rate is actually within 1-2% of the US, at every income bracket. And in terms of spending...you've just chosen to look at spending in % of GDP vs concrete numbers. Sure, looking at it this way, it looks like you're not spending much, but you're just picking a way to display data…

So are these charts supposed to a problem? Are you upset that "entitlement" is "crowding out defense"? Newsflash - the whole point of government is to help the people, using the people's own money. All your charts show is that "entitlement" is higher than "defense" spending. How is that a problem? Now, I'm off to see…

Right, and my point is that stuff is worded like that on purpose. Russia has stated that they know a US satellite was overhead at the exact time, and are asking for the US to release the data. The post says "Russia questions involvement of a US satellite". Now multiple that by a hundred, and that's how you spin…

Right, and they have said it didn't happen. If they're claiming it didn't happen, how can they release images showing it didn't? Images of an empty road?

How can they release info on a negative? They already said they did not provide the rebels with a missile defense unit. You want them to release information on them NOT doing that?

And the new guy is what, a saint? He was part of parliament a few years back, where he was sanctioned for bribery and corruption. But hey, at least this criminal is a Western puppet, right?

What do the actions of Ukraine have to do with Russia's policy in Chechnya? And wow, disagreeing with the savages on foxtrotalpha means I'm "sucking on it for the Kremlin"? Yeah, buddy. Instead of dreaming about sending jets to level random countries around the world using our "defenses", I'm busy sucking on it for…

Russia has already released radar data of a Ukranian jet escorting the flight; they are asking the US to release their data since people like you won't believe anything Russia puts out.

Uh, you know that US, EU, and Canadian government officials were on the ground during Maidan, doing photo-ops, right? You know that they supplied funding too, right? You think the tents, food, organization of the protests was all "grassroots"? You've heard about the Nuland call, right? You know that Biden's son…

Again, the HPFP is only on the twin turbo 335i, and the issue was resolved; BMW extended the warranty on the HPFP to 160k miles, so I'm not sure what you're complaining about. And water pumps failing are not a common issue, despite one guy in this thread having a failing one.
