Yeah, this is not bitcoin-related, but felt I needed to post this in response to the recycled Putin/Yanukovych propaganda someone posted here.

IMHO, as a U.S. citizen of Ukrainian background (grew up in the U.S., but my first language was Ukrainian and Ive tracked Ukrainian politics closely my entire life), this article gets much of it correct:
Everything you know about Ukraine is wrong http://pando.com/2014/02/24/everything-you-know-about-ukraine-is-wrong/

damn OS restarted from an update as I was typing.. arrgh.

anyway, that seems a balanced view but is still just one of many. since they didn't touch on the paid protesters or even question what they were seeing when protesters were shot (Israeli snipers were caught in Syria at the start of events there), it is obviously not the whole story.. being Ukrainian makes little difference, I know 90+ % of Australians, British and Americans don't know what the hell is going on in their own country, we are all subject to some form of propaganda and even if you try to research everything there will still be missing pieces.

as long as people are willing to say they don't really know what is going on there, I'm ok with it but when they react to every tidbit of biased reporting it just drives me nuts.

back on topic..

buy buy buy!!
