Does Putin think he can do to Ukraine what he does in his own country? Another generation will hate Russia.

So you're saying Ed Murray is behaving more like McGinn than anyone expected. *cough* Bike lanes everywhere, even if it doesn't make sense */cough*

Not only did Murray apparently make a emotionally-driven, unpopular decision, his "collaborative" ethos looks like theater.

Those chicks are brave. They should release an English version of that song (or at least add subtitles) for the international community.

The only thing I know about "WhatsApp" is that I get endless spam telling me I've got messages waiting for me in WhatsApp and click here now to retrieve them.

I never signed up for them. I figured it was just another Nigerian bank scheme type thing.... apparently though, it's a real thing that exists? Whatever.

@1 yes. Yes he does. Russia thinks of the Ukraine as theirs. Where do you think all the farmers were killed by the Russians?

Pussy Riot "horsewhipped by Cossacks" in the streets.

Ukraine getting screwed over as it's fought over by Russia and the Germanic/Western Europe sphere of influence? Never heard of such a thing.

I already refuse to eat at fast food giants because they all suck ass. Red Mill or Dick's is the right way.

@12: Pretty much this. If I want a burger, I go to Five Guys, Portillo's, Johnny Rockets, or occasionally Steak & Shake. A burger that costs $1.50 isn't going to be worth eating.

@13 When I was poor and living in the street, a $1.50 burger was a thing of beauty.

Seattle liberals need to diet anyway.

If more people would use WhatsApp rather than texting we could tell the cellular carriers to take their exorbitant texting fees and shove them.

@9 If Ukrainians wanted to, they could cause crippling sabotage and deny Russia its income.

Seattle liberals need to read about the Ukraine before commenting. You are being suckered by the White House, and embracing anti-Semitic fascists.

@18 Care to explain?

@19, according to Putin, the protesters are brown-shirted radicals. We're supposed to think that they're Nazis, I suppose. Because Putin's so devoted to the truth and hardly self-serving at all.

To be fair, a very small component of the protestors ARE very right-wing nationalist sorts. But as with a lot of broad grass-roots protests, there are approximately one zillion groups involved. To tar them all with the broad brush of "anti-Semitic fascist" is simply stupid.

No mention of Venezuela?

@5 Whatsapp is a fantastic app to message people over the data networks without paying SMS fees to your carrier. It's particularly fantastic if you travel internationally a lot. It's to SMS what Skype is to phone calls.

Forget about those spam mails you're getting. It's a spam trying to piggyback on the popularity of whatsapp. It's trying to get you to install maleware. It has nothing to do with whatsapp
