You respect Putin?

A man responsible for thousand of lives in Chechenya, a man who destroyed something like free speech in Russia (there was not much of it before him), a man who enabled FSB (former KGB and NKWD) to controll this country?, A man who threatens every country with cutting of energy? A man who squashed and destroyed any form of legal opposition?

Bush might be a moron but Putin?!


I'm not a big fan of America, but i do respect them as an Ally and something that stand at least for some of my values. When Russia only stands for agressivnes (whole history proves it).

ps. Don't Vote Obama

you are on a role lol

I didn't say bush was a moron!!!

i just don't like him, he isn't the best man for the job

From russia atleast you know what 2 expect, no secret backdoor politics

tombi123 said: I am not happy with George Bush and his government. Preaching Human Rights to the Chinese, while seeing no problem with Gauntanamo Bay. Invading Iraq over oil, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Preaching democracy to Russia when he lost the election to Al Gore, but somehow still got in (could someone explain how that happened?). America needs change. Vote Obama 08 .

There is a major differecne between Guantanomo and China there your arrested for talking bad about your government or believing in a banned religion the people in Gutanamo were all in a war zone where they had reason to believe all of them are terrorists. It is sad when people have more conpassion for terrorists than for the innocent civilians they want to bomb and kill in a mentalitly that is sexist and limits your ability to think freely or you die.

Invading Iraq for oil you can argue however if the US did it for oil wouldnt the USA force the Iraqi government then to pay for the war with they oil, also its not like they are giving America a deal on that oil.

Bush did not lose the election to Gore he won and you cant dispute that if you understand how the American democracy works your know. Its a balance between direct and indirect election to limit the power between the large and small states.

If Obama wins then we will all be asking for some change on the streets. Do research before you just state your opinions.

Explination of how bush won:

In the USA each states citizens vote for president the winner gains all the electoral votes allocated to the state, this is determined by the states population when one canadite gets to 270 electoral votes wins. So Bush won the majority of states in 2000 and he won Florida by a few votes. The way he lost the popular vote was by in some states that Gore won he won it by larger margins meaning he got more votes overall. However it is the state's winner not overal vote winner that gets the election. It is set up that way to balance the power between the states and central government. It is by the original idea of the federal government to be made up of the states and not the federal government on top of the states. I is a federal system of government where all th states are on an equal footing as the federal government. Federal for national policy.

In every census in every 10 years the number of electoral votes per state is changed more if the population increases and less if the population decreases in comparision to the growth in population of other states. This actually gives one party an advantage of another typically the Democractic party gains 8 additional electoral college votes since the south has a growing population and northern states are stagnate. That will change in 2010 when states such as Florida gain two more electoral college votes and NY lose some.

dude i see no wrong here... so would you mind

Man, read some books on history of Russia i do recomend an author Victor Suvorov, he does write some great stuff on mechanics of Soviet Politics.

There are few books about current regime, you wouldnt believe how much backdoor politics goes on in Russian Federation look at destruction of once politically powerfull oligarchy (or maybe the power of the oligarchy) or at the work of FSB. I look for titles 2moro it's quite late and i dont remember now.
