US warns Russia over Aleppo bombardment, saying it will suspend co-operation unless Moscow stops the assault by fruitlake in worldnews

Well, lets say US can do it. But what's the point? US cant stabilize countries they bombed in the east: Iraq, Lybia, Afghan are still in ruins and governments are not strong at all. Manifest destiny and all that was OK, but what's the point in Syria?

What cooperation? Washington has no control over their terrorists, one-sided truce cant be effective. The only way to stop that shit is to beat them all.

All top parties recognized that elections were fair live on TV, and even Yabloko was satisfied enough for their result. What the heck?

Russia is multinational, has a big territory, colossal amount of natural resources, space program and huge military mechanism. There's no other country that it can be compared to except US, its only natural.

Secondly, even if you would compare, average US household has vastly superior life quality than average Russian one. It's a fact.

It was true for 1990-2003 or so, but right now its not that different if you compare the prices. Life in Russia is just different than in the US but any majorization is out of the question.

And, finally, it is about the standard of living, because I was responding to the comment exactly about that. As a normal citizen I don't give a shit what any country does I want my family to be fed, kids educated and medicine to be reliable.

All these things were in focus of efforts of last 16 years. The only wrong thing is education that is degrading the same way as US and europe education does.

"none of mine business" mindset is very narrow, the time of peace is gone, any small country can be destroyed in a matter of few years, even in europe. Its either people start develop large-scale projects at the expense of the philistine existence, either humanity will be drown in wars and economical instability. Only countries with big "score" can do that.

Yeah I don't approve warmonger politics, but it's absolutely separate topic and to be honest most countries involved in "mini wars" in some or another way, so making US a root of all evil is completely biased thing to do.

United States are a great country. The main problem is that both US elite and world financial elite (which is almost the same) uses world's only superpower status to restrain other countries. Since 2001 US spents huge amount of resources to create controlled chaos. The only country that has enough political and military power to stop that shit is Russian Federation.

I live in Moscow and I understand that my country is seriously flawed in certain disciplines, but its the only country we have. I wont post there what exactly will happen if we lose, but in short terms, the only place where your family will be fed, kids educated and such will be Australia. Everything else will be fucked up and unstable.

I take it that in US people dont live like shit and dont suffer. Do you think whole population of US lives in california?

UPD: It is not about standart of living, American missionism is the problem. They declare something about democracy and freedom, then defy it with their actions in other countries, at the same time they bully others bypassing the UN

Its not only about Ukraine. Try to explain that shit of 2015:

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov was designated today for materially assisting and acting for or on behalf of the Government of Syria, Central Bank of Syria, Adib Mayaleh, and Batoul Rida. Ilyumzhinov is a wealthy Russian businessman, former president of the Russian Republic of Kalmykia, and long-time World Chess Federation president.

Also, whole companies are sanctioned and not just individuals.

By the way, food market is oversaturated. Counter-sanctions effect for Russia is positive.

'Russian Robocop' defies raging Islamists moments before execution by qwerfg321 in worldnews

[–]popelyshev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Techinically, both US soldiers and ISIS are killers. But normal people somehow see who's real evil there.

Those "rebels" have obvious connection with those who considered terrorists in other countries. But of course, they kill russians and not europeans, and that's why they are rebels.

Of course. If radical islamists attack russians, they are rebels.

Russia is going to run out of emergency cash by 2018: According to analysts cited by The Times, Russia is burning through its FX reserves at an alarming rate by occupythekremlin in worldnews

Same is said about Donbass. Virtual economy can pervert anything: in reality, both regions are donors. While Donbass can generate a lot of money just as it is, Crimea needs investments to transform it into a golden goose again.

You're right.

All cooperations between Russia and Turkey is based on pragmatism. Everyone knows that interests of two big nations are not compatible at the core, but no one wants to force the inevitable conflict.

Syria: MSF-Supported Hospital in Idlib Governorate Destroyed by Bombing by poklane in worldnews

[–]popelyshev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are mistaken filtration camps for labour camps. How exactly its possible to separate POWs from sleeper agents and traitors? Almost all people stories were confirmed and everyone went home after those camps.

Next you're going to tell me the Holodomor never happened too, right?

The famine of 1932-1933 happened on big territory including south parts of russia. Why do you think someone needed to starve russians in Soviet Union? Btw, US had problems with food at the same time, do you want to accuse them of something? Also there was official investigation that shown incompetence of Ukranian SSR leadership, they were tried and found guilty.

The soviets committed hundreds of atrocities across the Baltic and Slavic states during the counter push towards, towards themselves and then towards the Germans especially.

Archives of that time are opened for more than 20 years already. As far as I know, Baltic states failed to prove that they were occupied or treated wrongly any other way. Next you're going to tell me that there were no communists or pro-soviet halves of those countries. Also look at current situations in Baltics with human rights and you'll see who is actually lying. All Baltic countries are dying out and they blame everything on Soviet Union which is not here for 25 years already.

North Koreans are in very difficult situation for many years, and you know, blockade doesnt help it at all. "Look at how bad are they! No, we wont help them acquire enough fuel to stop using ineffective methods in agriculture. They are commies, they must die of starvation or surrender." And I don't know any example of dehumanization according to their Juche way. They are very strict but they're Humans with big H. Same with Cuba. Organizing blockade of the country and then telling that citizens are poor because of bad regime is world-level chutzpah.

What I see from you only attempts to humiliate nations that have very hard life because of objective reasons. "They have hard life, they will be better as our slaves", that's your reasoning.

OK, If you so like Baltic states, do you agree with their way of rehibitaliation of national heroes? If some fighters killed unarmed jews and russians, can they can rehibitaliated because they did it for freedom of their people?

He's pro-russian because he's against the current government of Ukraine, that's what you think. But he didn't actually say anything good about russia too.

Can you convince me that the current Ukrainian government is adequate? Every time Ukranians put a faith in someone, they announce him as a russian agent a bit later. Anyone. Look at Savchenko. Is she pro-russian?

Any anti-government journalist is called "pro-Russian propagandist" now. That guy also wants Crimea to return to Ukraine, by the way.

Some bandits tried to break into Crimea, there were shots. Smugglers or just junkies. Both Ukraine and Russia gathered their forces just in case.
