Did you miss the part where the russian president fled from the country? Yes, there is plenty wrong with the russian parliament. Its a scham. The elections are fixed aswell, so nope. Its still a dictatorship in practice. It just tries to look like its not, and badly at that.

Did you know Iraq had elections aswell? Saddam won every time. How convenient. I guess the people loved him. lol

The difference in russia is that the oil and gas are making the country rich for now. While that money keeps running the people wont revolt.

What is your concrete stuff you say about the elections? What do accuse them to do? All you do is throwing fog grenades, nothing concrete. I know how elections can be manipulated, you seem to have no idea.


You should accompany the discussion on the other thread. It answers those questions. 

Its not a fog grenade either dude. This guy changed the laws so he could stay in power.

So much shit that isn't even funny! )))

Come here please, we can speak! )


1. Well, thats what i heard from the news. Not my fault if its innacurate. Though i would like to be enlighted on your side of the events.

2. Though i especially would like for you to explain to me how it isnt a dictatorship, because Putin just keeps swapping between the president and prime minister positions to stay in power. I would like to see you say he doesnt have control over the powers of both those positions.

I will copy this post and post it on the other thread if its more confortable for you. I am most interested in hearing your version of the story. :)

1. LOL. First rule: stop believing in propaganda. From which side is of no importance. Read news from all over the world and try to match the complete different pictures they paint of events.

2. That is critcism to the democracy? He did that, because the russian constitution doesn't allow to stay president forever. I'm from germany, our constitution doesn't forbid such things. People can stay chancellor as long as they want and are elected. And some were chancellor a long time: Adenauer, Kohl. Are we a better or worse democracy? At least the russian constitution tried to avoid that. More to the point: in china the government is exchanged on a regular schedule. Are they in your opinion the better democracy because of that?

Dude, the conversation is going on in the other thread.

The information that reaches me is the one available to me through TV and internet. Did you miss the part where i was very interested in hearing the version the russian side?

Just stop it. I'm not interested in debating with you if you are gonna spew around attacks on character.

And really... Germany is the example of things never going wrong? Hitler was elected democraticly, in case you didnt know. Once there guess what he did? He made himself dictator. Shocking! Nothing like what Putin is doing!

Regardless as i told the other poster, domestic issues are not my concern. My concern is when he starts bringing war to the western countries.

Russia is simply looking to secure access to the only warm water naval base they have to access western Europe, the Mediterranean, and Red Sea.

If the new Ukraine government was smart they would offer Russia a lease extension from 2047 to 2147 to keep the naval base there and guarantee Russian culture (language and other cultural norms) is supported by the government in exchange for a permanent withdrawl of occupying troops from the peninsula.

Right now the west seems to think that Russia has to lose. They have to look for a way for Russia to claim a victory.


I dont know if you understand this, but Russia has no claim to it. If they want it, there is only two possible ways the international community will accept it.

1. Ukraine sells it to them for a price.

2. Democratic referendum.

 

I worry that this will escalate into something worse. It might be inevitable that democracy and comunism clash in war until one goes. China is beeing very clever staying out of this. I would rather comunism issues be solved with internal disputes. Thats not gonna happen until the oil/gas runs out though.

Zimmerman's handywork troubling us to this day. What a devious character.

USA had no reason to enter Iraq.  But, they did because of oil...

Western nations had no reason to enter Libya...  But they did because of oil...

Western nations have watched and for the most part ignored stuff in Cambodia, Congo, Somalia, Central Republic of Africa, etc...  Where no one cares if the people die or are repressed.

Russia has just as much rights to look after their interests as western nations think they do.

Sorry, whats your problem?  I was asking him if he was born in the UK, since his stance was odd for someone that was.  If you agree with him them I'd suggest your stance is also odd if you are English.  Before you get on your high horse... odd doesnt mean wrong, it means odd, out of the ordinary.  The majority of English residents would prefer to allign themselves with Nato over Putin.

Unfortunately HE was banned for his abusive and mindless post, so he couldnt respond.


Although, I'm pretty damn close to understanding your character, I'm still interested hearing an answer straight from you, so I'll ask. What makes it ok for the US to go around intervening, taking down and installing puppet governments, invade a whole country on a false premise of nuclear weapons but not when another country does it in the interest of protecting their own backyard and millions of ethnic people in that country?

Do you think imperialism is justified?

If there's no reply I'll just assume that there's no convenient answer.

We have some news that this night the golden fund of Ukraine was put into a plane in Borispol Airport and that plane flew to USA. If that news are true - all this 'revolution' thing just becomes simple robbery in the end. ((( Sad.

Propaganda, so Putin has an excuse to invade the whole of Ukraine? How would anyone know that, and  how would that make any sense?

;_; I just want the U.S. military budget to decrease. And then this nonsense happens.

You arent remotely close to knowing anythign about me.  Your posts are arrogant, divisive and motivated by an all too apparent agenda. I know what i am, what i beleve in and what i hold true...

I have no political motivation these days, I dont rate a single politician alive today.  I despise the big politics "we know best" of current times, the EU being the best example of all that is bad.  And I certainly have no religious motivation... 

How about you?

 

 

How about me? I despise those who are blindly hypocritical and at times dodges questions when they are being confronted. I'm confronting you because you are a big supporter of washington and their foreign policies (even domestic at times like the snowden case).

I'm asking again, I hope you don't keep dodging my question, why is it ok for the US government to police the world in their interest but not some other countries?

Now who is dodgning questions?

Why would I converse with someone that despises me?  You can confront me all you want pal, doesnt mean I need to answer you or care what you think. Who the hell do you think you are? lol.

 

 

 


Exactly, no convenient answer when someone presents you with a legitimate question. 

Or rather impossible to give an honset answer without exposing your own hypocrisy. Such. Hypocrisy.
