Russia has historically used genocide to implement its colonialism and imperialism, eg Chechnya, so supporting genocide in Syria is not a problem for Putinist Russia.

BTW the phrase is "mom and apple pie", as in "for mom and apple pie", so praising his mom's apple pie would prove nothing. You wouldn't praise your own mother's apple pie?!
Even if it was the best apple pie you've ever tasted? That's very mean of you.:(

Informed Americans have a responsibility to make themselves aware of their government's conduct, just as informed citizens of any country have a like obligation. Those who do not question are typically 1) sheeple, 2) members of the ruling or aspiring status quo or their enthusiastic supporters or 3) recent immigrants of countries who consider their host country's actions to coincide with their original home country's national interests.
I'd say, you're an equal mix of all three.
PS: I have no commie heroes. The comment is ludicrous on its face. I suppose you're referring to my recent post regarding Mao's treatise on guerrilla warfare, which is required reading for just about every US military college.
Are you really as dense as you appear, or is it all just an act?
Wrong again, Obso. I frequently attack the current Ukrainian government, but unlike you with America I do praise other things about Ukraine. As you despise everything about America and love everything about Russia, that makes you a Russian patriot, kinda strange for somebody who claims not to have been born there, you praise everything the Russian government does, that makes you the "sheeple" that you accuse me of being.
I haven't read anything you've written about Mao, my views are based on your hatred of all things American.

You are quite comical, pouk. Why should I say what I like about America and dislike about Russia here? Simply to placate you? The fact that I would not have such discussions with such as yourself is supposed to say something about me? Au contraire. It says everything about you.

You really are quite the simpleton, my friend. You remind me of the bum on the subway that hasn't showered in a year and empties the car within two minutes of sitting down, then mutters to himself incessantly for hours. Thank God smelloforums aren't around yet. You'd empty the forum in a heartbeat.

Warning: No sheeple need read further.

Emails leaked by WikiLeaks from the influential risk analysis group, Stratfor, noted that 'most of the Syrian opposition's more serious claims have turned out to be grossly exaggerated or simply untrue'. Stratfor argued that Syrian government massacres against civilians were unlikely because the ‘regime has calibrated its crackdowns to avoid just such a scenario. Regime forces have been careful to avoid the high casualty numbers that could lead to an intervention based on humanitarian grounds’.

What 'hate'?!

Ahh okay, if criticism of our foreign policy equals hate, then at least half of Americans hate America

Poll: Americans' views on foreign policy

More than three in four Americans - 77 percent - approve of Mr. Obama's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of the year. Two in three say the war was not worth the cost.

Republican primary voters see Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich as the presidential candidates most qualified to lead the military and handle a crisis abroad.

One in two Americans say U.S. should not have gotten involved in Libya; seven in ten oppose U.S. efforts to transform dictatorships into democracies.

Most Americans believe the threats posted by Iran and North Korea can be contained without military action.

More than half of Republicans hold an unfavorable view of Islam.

A majority of Americans - 53 percent - say the United States should not be involved in Afghanistan. Only 36 percent say the U.S. is doing the right thing in fighting there. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to support the war, but even among that group, 43 percent say the United States should not be involved.

Here's an old one criticizing Bush's foreign policy.

People from Stanford & Princeton signed it.
It doesn't say anyone from Harvard signed it though :P

Scholars flunk Bush on foreign policy

An open letter to the Bush administration from a group called “Security Scholars for a Sensible Foreign Policy” argues that the Bush administration’s foreign policy is a catastrophe of historic proportions.

With more than 700 signatories from professors of politics and international relations at institutions including Stanford, Princeton and the University of Wales, the letter begins by declaring,“We judge that the current American policy centered around the war in Iraq is the most misguided one since the Vietnam period,” and goes on to catalog the low points of the Bush administration’s foreign relations (with proper footnoting, of course).
