Respect the gulags, the denial of conscience, the killings?

If to write without emotions.
That half of population of a planet is firmly assured that your country make so.
And it is very sad.
Read the other countries press.

"We Russians wished to finish Cold war"

Reminds me of an old story. Back in the cold war the Russians had a car race between an American car and a Russian car. Of course the American car won easily. The next day the Russian papers said "Russian car comes in 2nd, the American car came in 2nd to last."

This is the same kind of spin put on the Russian's wanting to end the cold war. It's all bullsh!t. Russia tried like hell to stay up with Reagan's defence buildup and Russia's economy collapsed because of spending so much money on their defence.

[elli1]

Bush made some kind of statement about this. I don't remember exactly, but he told Putin to knock it off, I always thought that was a real mistake.

It was a 'REAL Mistake' but you don't remember it, eh?

One day when US will learn to respect the people of other countries with their traditions, mentality and opinions - Russia will become ally of US.

This sound like happiness for life with Russian bride upon certain condition. Yes? Any bride, for that matter.

US respects human rights, not government thuggery, dictators, elitist regimes. US respect women of other country, if good looking. Men, if good mentality. Your vodka excellent, our beer too. Deal, no deal? Together we watch China like beaver build dam. Dam China, dam dam dam.

10 years - Russia did not threaten the USA, 10 years - Russians did all that you advised us.

The American advisers were in the Russian government.
Mister Soros conducted propagation at schools.

What did you do? Rockets along borders of Russia.
A dirt in press.
A greeting of destruction of the country.
Support of separatists and nationalists.
YOU BROKE ALL OUR CONTRACTS !!!

You accuse us of that that it is not pleasant to us????????????

[Lurker]

I once had high hopes for Russia. Now it seems that Russia won't be a civilized nation for at least another hundred years.

We Russians wished to finish Cold war

Yea....right.

Do You consider that you have won????

Yep.

Does world become more safe???

It did for us. It would be a lot safer for everyone if you folks learned a little something about the 'rule of law'.

What have you made for 15 years of Your " Pax Americana "?

We're the undisputed biggest, baddest, most powerful nation that's ever been that's what.

Massacre in Yugoslavia.

Thanks for supplying the Serbs with all those Russian made weapons. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the numbers of dead people.

Massacre in Iraq

Thanks for helping to keep Saddam in power all those decades. And most special thanks to helping Iran evade consequences for supplying weapons to terrorists.

I live in the Central Asia, believe me, there you have hopelessly lost the war.

Are we at war with Central Asia? I must have missed a memo or something.

All territory is occupied by a drug mafia, and the NATO militarians sit on the their bases.

Bullshit.

I shall not write about Iraq

Thanks for that. Because just about the last thing we need around here is another foreigner telling us how we've screwed up Iraq. Especially when that foreigner is from a country which conspired with the previous murderous Iraqi government to steal billions of dollars in aid which was supposed to help the Iraqi people.

[MARTIAL MONK]

Mister Soros conducted propagation at schools

Well dang, somebody over there has to do it.

[K. Smirnov]

Dream on, keyboard warrior.

[Northern Alliance]

Standard tactic of incompetent politicians facing disaster at home - attack the USA and Pres. Bush.

[Semargl]

US respects human rights,
US citizen human rights.

not government thuggery,
Tell it to East Ukrainians, Ossetins and Abkhazians.
To Russians in East Europe.

dictators, elitist regimes.
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan???
The "democratic president" of Turkmenii.
The former best friend of the USA in Cental Asia - Uzbekistan.

America was the true symbol of freedom.
In current of 15 years you destroyed this symbol.

USA is empire now, and only.
One empire more in the world.

[budwiesest]

A dirt in press. A greeting of destruction of the country. Support of separatists and nationalists. YOU BROKE ALL OUR CONTRACTS !!!

Welcome to party, comrade. Press greets us with destruction and supports anything non-American. They break our contract (constitution) regularly. We hate them too.

[Semargl]

I once had high hopes for Russia. Now it seems that Russia won't be a civilized nation for at least another hundred years.
8) Yes, east barbarians. 8)
May be, but not west "obshechelovek" (I don't know how to translate this word).

Thanks for supplying the Serbs with all those Russian made weapons. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the numbers of dead people.

Serbs no have our weapon, and it's very pity.

Thanks for helping to keep Saddam in power all those decades. And most special thanks to helping Iran evade consequences for supplying weapons to terrorists.

U forget that Saddam was supported by US before first war, he was enemy of Iran. Shee, sunni... 8) He was your ally and our enemy

Are we at war with Central Asia? I must have missed a memo or something.

U fight in Afganistan, this country is near Central Asia.

All territory is occupied by a drug mafia, and the NATO militarians sit on the their bases.

Bullshit.

8) I understand. 8)

supposed to help the Iraqi people.
It's named "support" ???????


You do not believe in democracy.
Then we come to you.

[Lurker]

Serbs no have our weapon, and it's very pity.

I suppose this isn't an AK-47:

And this couldn't be a Russian T-55 tank:

And there's not a Russian made weapon to be seen in this photo:

Do us a favor Semargl. If you're going to sling bullshit, at least make an effort to do so convincingly. Saying that the Serbs weren't supplied Russian arms is laughably ridiculous.

America was the true symbol of freedom. In current of 15 years you destroyed this symbol. USA is empire now, and only. One empire more in the world.

Americans don't want empire. They'd like freedom to be universal and are willing to fight any who'd attack this right to be free. Those 'not-free' appear to us as subjects of forces that oppose freedom, something we, ourselves, would not tolerate.

The natural condition of man is not to be a slave, thus, our intolerance. The countries (peoples) you've mentioned only have time, before their little 'empires' crumble in the face of freedom. Give it time. Besides, we're fighting slavery here at home each and every election. Pray for us. But don't pray too hard, looks like you guys could use it more.

[Semargl]

This is very old weapon. Made in the USSR. Unfortunately Russia not gave up to Serbia the new arms. Otherwise annexation of Kosovo would not pass so without blood for NATO.

[Mo1]

Last week, hawkish defence minister Sergei Ivanov, seen as a possible successor of Mr Putin when he stands down next year, announced an eight-year £100 billion military upgrade. Defence spending has quadrupled since Mr Putin came to power.

Well .. that would explain where all the money Russia is getting from their nuke plant help has gone to

[Semargl]

You want to carry freedom ? Ask us before - Are we wanting Such freedom?

"We don't want such "freedom" like in Iraq" (C)
I think that "democracy" the same Utopia as well as communism.
The idea is good but to make it - ! impossible !.

[Semargl]

Do you read "Tomas Moro - Utopia" ?

[ko_kyi]

It's not that big a deal - no one in Asia will take those C-notes anyway. They just laugh at you.

[Lurker]

This is very old weapon

Uh huh.

So they're old Russian weapons. You still gave them to them.

Otherwise annexation of Kosovo would not pass

Who exactly is it that's 'annexing' Kosovo?
