Not sure which posts you think I'm referring to, but these are the ones I'm talking about, and he was accused of pushing a pro-Russian slant for the first post.

It is hard to get a fair honest read on everything that is happening. I saw a news segment where they said that Ukraine isn't doing that well, and I suppose that is fair in some areas. But I guess as battles go there is always back and forth. To get unbiased news is very difficult from my limited efforts anyways.

Hopefully this thing is resolved sooner then later. It is so sad that innocent people get thrown into political agendas regardless of who is right or wrong if you understand my thoughts there. The little guy always gets crushed by those who rule.

Wow. That is quite the judgement! I am by no means pro Russian. I want Ukraine to kick butt, frankly! So you be wrong! Russia started it and acts the victim. They should be expelled because they shouldn't have gone in in the first place. All I mean is that there are slants on both sides and the truth is somewhere in the middle. I used to work in journalism and if you are reporting on one side and neglect the other side, you lose that part of the story that is important even if the other side is wrong. The truth is far broader than we can see. I hope that makes sense. Russia is doing terrible, evil things in Ukraine there is no mistaking that. I just think there is so much more going on then what we hear and see if that makes sense.
