[GPSCC-chat] Obama Claims That Russian Takeover Of Crimea Is "Worse" Than US Takeover Of Iraq

[John Thielking]

While it may be true that the Crimean vote to join Russia did not have a "no" or "none of the above" option when choosing between joining Russia or going back to the 1992 constitution where Crimea is essentially independent from Ukraine, I hardly think that the shock and awe bombing campaign against Iraq killed less people than Russia's (or the Russian backed "self defense forces' ") takeover of Crimea.  But that is exactly what Obama is asserting, as broadcast this AM on rt.com. I will check out CNN too to see if they are swallowing that fish whole or not.  As in the novel '1984', violence (80 dead in Kiev at the hands of Neo-Nazi snipers) is nonviolence (or at least nonviolent democratic 'victims' at the hands of Yanocovich) and nonviolence (as in the Russian takeover of Crimea) is violence.
