Russia sinking into darkness

[OK]

The wifey is from Ukraine and reads Ukrainian websites. She said that Putin said in a speech that the Yukos situation was not about taxes it was about getting the shares in the government's hands; in other words a confiscation for re-nationalization.

Another thing she read is that the Ukrainians caught two Russian KGB agents with 3 pounds of plastic explosives. They reportedly admitted to a plot to blow up Yushkenko and Yulia Tymoshenko at a scheduled rally. In other words, Putin tried to assassinate them (again).

Yes, in 90's most of Russian companies didn't pay taxes, but these owned by Putinists are of course save.

It is really past time for GWB to warn off Putin that there will be NO resurrection of the great Police State and their Iron Curtain...and that the KGB needs to be dismantled. And fast. And if it isn't, then we are going to have to look at further regime change...

The "help" we got from Russia in Afghanistan post 9-11 really was setting us up to help the Soviet's former allies in a number of cases. Not exactly selfless acts on Putin's part...

Yeah, you don't have a political, EUfascist agenda my arse. Almost all your posts are russophobic, almost a one track mind.

"Yes, in 90's most of Russian companies didn't pay taxes, but these owned by Putinists are of course save."

Which part of this post is... "russophobic" ?

[jb6]

What's russophobic? Your choice of posts is consistent anti-Russian almost on everything. Your whole agenda amongst things is almost a topical and only a blind man wouldn't see it. You showed up in your little clique of three EU employees with an obvious agenda. Go spin fairy tales to someone else.

You got that right. Looks like the wheels are turning. He probably doesn't feel as confident as he did a few years ago.

Thanks for the ping!

My wife is likewise Russian. That said, these stories about the KGB were seeded prior to the election and afterwards. We heard all about the Russian Spetsnaz and Russian tanks. None of these turned out to be true.

Don't worry about it, jb pines for the good ol' days when the NKVD had its boot pressing on everyone's throat. He looks at Putin the way some others look at a gay porn star.

Nonsense! Russian companies were oblicated to pay taxes in the 90's. However, many Russian companies keep two sets of books to avoid taxes.

[jb6]

Yeah, got to love how these "stories" all disappear and are never heard from again after having the desired effect of knee jerking those who believe what ever the MSM puts on their plate. I think the term is sheeple.

[jb6]

Your stupidity and crassness are as usual unsurpassed. Don't you have some american workers to sell out to Chinese slave labor somewhere?

Oh he knows that, he's just pushing his employer's agenda (EU). He admits to working for that corrupt organization and has had one and only one agenda on FR since I've been here and I imagine it was probably the exact same thing before I came here. Just look at his posts, at best half truths.

[1rudeboy]

No, because if I did, I'd also likely be giving Putin a "Chinese massage." [hint]

[Kozak]

You of course are pure as the driven snow and don't select articles to post and quote to support your slavish devotion to Putin. An attack on Russia's corrupt government is not "russophobic", many of us feel sorrow at that fact that Russia just never seems able to get it right, and as a consequence the average Russian suffers.
