Re: Russian conscripts forced to fight in the Ukraine You can believe Caputi if you want. He is as credible as John Kerry and Jane Fonda. Maybe be will be Secy of State for Hillary.

Re: Russian conscripts forced to fight in the Ukraine Sworn testimony would not appear in a newspaper article unless the subject was a court proceeding. Do you have some information on US secret wars to share?

Re: Russian conscripts forced to fight in the Ukraine apple did not start this thread. The original article is from AP. Has anyone refuted the facts presented in the article?

Re: Russians as young as 18 are being tricked into fighting in Ukraine The AP article makes several assertions, none of which you seem to be able to refute. So you throw anything against the wall you hope will stick. Unfortunately that is the style of "debate" on DFI.

If you don't like "western propaganda", read Solzhenitsyn; read his books to understand where Putin is taking Russia. "In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the...

Defined as a point of view differing from yours? One-line jabs with no supporting words of argument are quite weak.

A good article which gives the lie to the idea that what is happening in Ukraine is a "civil war." From the article:

Agent Orange was a defoliant used during the Vietnam War which contained dioxin, not a chemical warfare agent. CDC - Veterans Health - Vietnam Studies - Agent Orange Validation Study
