Is oil still really what it is all about for the US? Something has made the ghastly Board of Deputies slightly moderate their language. And I thought Netnyahu was as bad as it could get until these new horrors arrived.

To answer your question, the West has not sought to overthrow the monstrous House of Saud or the other gulfie tyranniea, in spite of the fact that they have lots of oil.

Once again Johnathan you can clearly see through to the very heart of the problem. This is truly a travesty. It is once again evident that committing genocide out in the open only brings the obligatory lip service then it's back to businesses as usual. With the way the entire path leads to violence across the world I have begun to believe that the human species went in two different directions one side is still howling and chasing little monkeys down out of the trees and ripping them apart while the other is planting corn!?

And yet we get mightily butthurt when the inhabitants of Donbass and Crimea want no part of Ukraine, but we turn a blind eye towards Israeli settlers.

Double standard, much?

I think eastern Ukrainians are both pro Russia and pro Ukrainia. The western Ukrainians are anti Russian zenophobes. The have drunk the NATO koolade . The French and English Canadians can do it so why can't Eastern Ukrainians do it as well.

I lived much of my adult life in Ukraine and speak Russian and a passable resemblance of Ukrainian, although I have not a drop of Slavic blood in me.

The reality is more complicated, but the majority of people in eastern Ukraine (not all) are for Russia. Galicians mostly just think that the wrong side won WWII, but again, there are exceptions. I know a Ukrainian-speaker form Lvov who hates the Kiev regime even more than I do.
