According to RT, there was an option to remain in Ukraine: <Really now? It was? Two weeks after 30,000 unidentified "green men" with Russian weapons, invaded and a ballot that doesn't even provide a choice to remain with Ukraine? Where was the organized opposition? Some election you're asserting there.. > So the Aussies can invade NZ with Balaclava masked men, install a local political thug as your president and give you two weeks to democratically decide to be annexed by Australia while they have those masked thugs marching around repressing any attempt to formulate opposition? > I guess you know where Balaclava is and in winter there, it's quite cold. I have worn a balaclava. But they were not all or most in balaclavas. As long as there's no violence, I don't care who supervises elections. Last month, the United Nations issued a report saying that Russia was the second leading country after Syria from which citizens ask for safe haven. According to the report, about 40,000 Russians asked for asylum in countries around the world in 2013, a 76 percent increase from the year before. Germany and Poland were the most popular destinations for Russian asylum seekers. > Do you normally accept UN reports as gospel? The UN's climate claims are rubbish. But of course there would be a lot. In NZ we have unlimited "refugees" wanting to get in for the free stuff they'd get. We have lots of Russians here too these days. One of the ways to get in to the free-stuff places is to be a refugee. Simply wanting to go somewhere isn't considered a good reason.
