Looks as if the Russians have set up an embassy and listening post right here on FR.

Oh, that’s right, you’re just a cultural attache.

Yeltsin, was Putin’s boss, and his right hand guy. They bated the idiot companies to come in, and then Putin lowered the boom once the fields were fully developed.

Putin is, simply put, the return of a new totalitarian regime for Russia. I noticed you didn’t comment about his interference in the Ukraine and Georgia, which cannot stand the Russians. You didn’t comment about how the Russians choked off the gas supply to the Ukraine, much the same way they did in the thirties when the essentially blockaded them and starved them to death.

He’s a scumbag of the first magnitude. Here in the civilized world, justice is done in courts of law. Contracts are challenged as to their legality. Putin confiscated private property on behalf of the state.

He’s the return of Uncle Joe, just a kinder gentler variety.

And by the way, how come Russia isn’t a smoking hole right now? After all of the crap your government fed you about how dangerous Reagan was and how the west was waiting to bomb the USSR into the stone age, when the USSR fell, how come it didn’t happen?

Russia used that excuse to kidnap all of Central Europe for decades. You want to talk justice? Justice would be Kazakhstan heaving all its missiles at Moscow for the freedom and blood it extracted from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lituania, etc.

Thankfully, Communism is the Pet Rock of economic systems. Even Brezhnev advised Nassar not to go to a collectivist economy as the USSR had.

Now, if you back this thug, you’re simply a fan of totalitarian rule - stability through fear.

You have fun with that. But don’t peddle any of it around here.

If it cound so we woudn’t speak with. Just remember how many chinese you spoke lately?

First of all Ukrainian are Russians too. They just the one tribe of Russians which accually 3 major tribes: Velikorussian (whom you call Russians, Mallorussian - known as Ukranians, Bellorussian - knwon by thier name).

Concerning Georgians I cann’t withstand them either. It is mutual dislike.

For 3 days in 2006 it was the answer because they didn’t pay the price for it and turned to petty stealing from the pipe.

much the same way they did in the thirties when the essentially blockaded them and starved them to death.==

We did that? You statement shows that you know absolutely nothing about this 70 years old history.
You should know that in 1933 it was the artificial hanger not only in Ukraine but in the other regions of USSR.
The guilt for that carries Josef Stalin the Commie dictator who was never Russian but ethnic Georgian.
