These guys made THAT map: http://militarybases.co See it for yourself and tell me if Putin is right or wrong?? I would like to know the OP's and others their opinion after reviewing this.

Militarily bases =/= taking over a neighboring country with out of uniform troops, and insignia-less tanks and trucks.

I've seen a few of them before. Try a quick Google search or hit up /r/MapPorn on reddit and search there. It's pretty unsettling seeing the amount and spread of US bases.

I couldn't find any complete one but this image seems to be the best one so far.

Holy shit, looks like Russia, China, Southern South America, and Central Africa is about all that's left.

This is a really interesting interview. One of the more interesting parts (to me):
For example, the Americans do not want Russia’s rapprochement with Europe. I am not asserting this, it is just a hypothesis. Let’s suppose that the United States would like to maintain its leadership in the Atlantic community. It needs an external threat, an external enemy to ensure this leadership. Iran is clearly not enough – this threat is not very scary or big enough. Who can be frightening? And then suddenly this crisis unfolds in Ukraine. Russia is forced to respond. Perhaps, it was engineered on purpose, I don’t know. But it was not our doing.
Also:
Luciano Fontana: One last question. What is your biggest regret in life? What do you consider a mistake that you would never want to make again?
Vladimir Putin: I will be quite frank with you. I cannot recollect anything of the kind. By the grace of God, I have nothing to regret in my life.

Holy fuck, so many crazy people over here are proRussia and antiU.S. based on comments so far. This is gonna be fun to watch to see how this social networking site develops. I already know the outcome of places like this, but can not help but be ecstatic to watch it play out.
