    While mr.Trump and his family were provoking a new bloodshed in the Middle East, Putin drove a truck across newly-opened Crimean bridge:



    So, Russian "invasion" of Crimea goes on!

    This is the most expensive bridge in the world. Since it’s built illegally it will be hilarious to watch Russians demolish it after they return Crimea back to Ukraine.

    I'm surprised the bridge actually holds!! Russians aren't the best engineers when it comes to infrastructure.

    Russians occupied Baltic states for about 50 years and eventually they became free. The US and many other countries didn’t recognize that annexation. Same is happening now with Crimea.
    History already shows a precedent.

    A desperate fellow you are!

    Who knows, maybe English is your second language?

    If you're looking for an example of something illegal, look to our support for Saudi crimes in Yemen, or our own crimes in Syria and elsewhere.

    History shows Crimea to be Russian for the last 200+ years. There's your precedent.

    What about the ownership before those "200"? Something like Moldova which was given or stolen?

    Self-hating Americans - it’s like a medical condition.

    Stop dreaming!

    Did you ask the people in Crimea if they want to be part of Ukraine? I don't think so. As a matter of fact did you ask anyone in Ukraine if they want to be part of it? How long do you think a country will continue to be a country when there is a Russian section, a Hungarian section, a Polish section and a Romanian section and they all want 'out'.

    As for the theft of Crimea, ask the Ukrainians. They are the ones who invaded and annexed it in 1995. This is why they rushed to join Russia before the fascist junta could invade again.

    You are right about precedent. Washington's one world order with its imposition on others through deception and lies, has to fall apart the same way the Soviet Union did. Tell that to our resident sociopaths though, who are so blinded by hubris that they keep sleep walking to their own destruction.

    Our crimes pale in comparison to others, because you are being told that. A year ago we decided to free Mosul from ISIS and told the people there not to leave and that we had precision bombs. Then we destroyed the whole city and turned it into a morgue. The bodies are still not buried. We did the same to Raqqa. Did we do it to change the demographics of the cities and ethnically cleanse them? If we did, then it's genocide. Are we any better then than the Nazis? I don't think so.

    Mortality rates were higher during the 9 months of military liberation of Mosul, Iraq, than during the 29 months of exclusive Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) control, according to a study published this week in PLOS Medicine.

    Russia's crimes pale in comparison to others? That's debatable to say the least - Russia supports the genocidal war criminal in Damascus which makes you complicit in his crimes against humanity.

    You're right - Russia is no better than the Nazis. You're complicit in Assad's ethno-sectarian cleansing campaigns that displaced millions of Sunnis from their homes and replaced them with Shi'a who are loyal to Assad and your friends in Iran. In the process of committing this crime against humanity you've committed the additional war crime of targeting and bombing civilian non-combatants.

    And I haven't even gotten into your war crimes in Georgia and Putler's Anschluss campaign in Ukraine.

    I agree - you're no better than the Nazis...

    Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.

    Russia is trying to end the war in Syria by defeating Al Qaeda, Isis and the other Islamist extremist groups that make up the rebel opposition.

    It is Saudi Arabia, US and others that supported the Islamist insurgence that caused this war.
