I'd like to point out to BBC correspondent Steve Rosenberg that the West lead by the USA does RUSSIA+CHINA BASHING - continuously. Russia and China respond that their military is for DEFENSIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND that they want to BE FRIENDS with the USA and all Western countries. They doN'T BASH the USA nor THE WEST. NATO has a huge army stationed in Poland at Russia's doorstep. Is this necessary? NO! So WHY is it there? To INTIMIDATE President Putin. The U.S.A. wants to deploy hypersonic missiles in Europe: is this necessary when President Putin has made it clear that he wants to DE-ESCALATE TENSIONS? The aggressive behavior displayed by NATO "encouraged" by the USA is confrontational in nature when there us NO JUSTIFICATION for it. Mr. Rosenberg is LYING when he says Russia annexed the Crimea: it was an independent region of the Ukraine that VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY to join Russia and they're SO HAPPY they did. Is Mr. Rosenberg being STUPID? Obviously, YES! THE NATO COUNTRIES including my own, Canada, are NOT GOOD GUYS. Think back to the killing of Gadhafi and THE BOMBING OF LIBYA 24/7 for SEVEN MONTHS after killing Gadhafi in the first week or so. SO WHY DID THEY DO ALL THAT UNNECESSARY BOMBING? So their industrial military complexes could make their money. BLOOD MONEY. Mr. Rosenberg, like those NATO countries, are BAD GUYS. His SMART ALECK TONE was completely OUT OF PLACE. It just shows that he's NOT SMART: A REAL BOOR! President Putin, in turn, was VERY GRACIOUS in his regard responding to his (Rosenberg's) PISSED OFF LOOK smiling. (Ha! Ha!) Ken
