I'm not agree. Fuck Putin but don't swear on Russia. Russian is not Putin as well as Putin is not Russia.

Sorry if it was offensive. I didn't mean to swear actually, I just meant to say Polish to stop spinning topic to Russia instead of Putin.

Can you tell me your views about Putin, now?

You can see it in my previous posts. I don't like Putin. I can't say he is as bad as Bush for example because he hasn't started wars and hasn't killed 1000's of foreign civilians. However I never voted for him and will not vote for his follower Mr. Medvedev because I don't like that they do for Russia.

As about the opposition. The most bad thing is that we don't have any good opposition at all. All opposite leaders are nationalists, communists or thieves.

Why exactly?

Because of his internal politics. It's too long to explain "way exactly". In shot, I don't like that Russia capitalizes on natural resources only and do almost nothing to invest into the real manufacture, to spend money on those who REALLY needs it (retirees, old ill people, orphans etc) while lots of money are spending for nothing.

On the other hand I do respect him as a person (he is a clever man, has a good physical shape, not an alcoholic like the one before him etc) But it's not enough to be considered as a good president :2 cents:

One more word about Russian opposition and democracy. These are official sites of opposition:
http://kprf.ru/
http://limonka.nbp-info.ru/
http://www.kasparov.ru/
http://www.kasyanov.ru/
http://www.ldpr.ru/

As you can see all sites are located under domain .ru which is controlled by Russian government and all the sites work perfect - everyone can read them without any limitation. As long they are not closed, it's very stupid to argue about Russian democracy.

Furthermore, EuroNews channel is being retranslated by Russian free television. BBC and CNN are included in EVERY commercial package (starting prices are as low as $3-$5 a month so these packages are available for everyone).

P.S. And once again: there is no such a thing as absolutely democracy. Every country has it's own vision on democracy. The US democracy allows "this", Russian democracy allows "that" etc. In general everyone of us is being controlled by our governments. You are not kids, you have eyes and ears, so you should understand what I'm talking about.

That's tooooo gloomy. Here is a better one:

yep and no other explanations needed.

Mobster no doubts.

Fuck you all you Putin haters. If you had even an inch of his intelligence you would be happy. Here compare how Russia's economy blossomed since he came to power: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/h...ml/default.stm

He is doing an awesome job standing up against the West and especially America. It was in the interests of US to see Russia weak, but now the bear has awakened and whether you like it or not Putin's Russia is starting to influence the world politics.

He did a lot for Russia and will continue to do so in the future. Look what happened in the 1990's, all those crook Jews became billionaires overnight by robbing the country and now they all fled with that same money. He should track all those scums and throw them in jail just like he did with that Jew Khodorkovsky. may he rot in jail!

"He is doing an awesome job standing up against the West and especially America."

That must definatly be the number one qualifyer in being labeled a great man these days. Fuck Americans stand up to American and boy you just might have a future in the GLobal political atmosphere.

LOL I laugh my ass off every day everytime some dip shit foriegner is lead by stupid pride. At least here in the states we can make fun of leader's and everyone elses without getting shot in the street.

Fact is Putin is a fucken gangster hands down. No leader of Russia was a true leader without the Russian Mob behind them.

Which is why russia will always be...
Well Russia, not a real world world power.

But thanks for the posturing and quick laugh.
Ya must be a silly nic.

He is great because he took a country which was in ruins and placed it on the world map, let me see any of your imbecile American leaders do that. All they can do is start unnecessary wars, plunge the economy in the shitter, leave 45 million Americans without basic health insurance, face it moron, your country is going down and I know it is hard for your tiny yankee brain to accept it but Russia is back.

And the American political system is not "ganster"? Face it, your politics is very corrupt, people no longer have a say, it is all about big corporations lobbying the government. Look how many corruption scandals were uncovered in the past 6-8 years. So pleaseeeeeeeee, clean up your own back yard then critize Russia's leaders or its way of doing business.

I'd like to spar with that guy, probably be fun. :)

Anybody see The Sum of All Fears?


For some reason this reminds me of that. :1orglaugh

He is the man!!!

Russians need a leader like him. Those people are crazy, and someone has to have that in check, or else all hell brakes loose.

Yeah, we are so fuckin' crazy :ak47: :)

If you yankees were smart you would have Christopher Walken for the next prez he would just have to show up..... His "look" would say the rest Much like this guy

Another brain-washed Amerian .. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Translation:

Total number of nukes (end of 2006)

USA: 4116
Russia: 3372

Note: overall weight of Russian strategic nuclear warheads exceeds the US one. :winkwink:

P.S. And don't tell me that "old" Russian ballistic missiles won't fly. Then the USA have lost their second shuttle, they were using Russian rockets to send their astronauts and cargo to the space. Note: those rockets were build 40-years old technology because its still works fine and doesn't kill people since 70s' (can's say the same about the US modern space technologies)

too late... he's almost gone. Search for Medved.net :)

putin was head of kgb, daddy bush head of cia .. same shit different pile

oh, those russians... ?
:1orglaugh

He truely is a gangster...

cyberxxx, dare to comment on it?

every Western magazine asks that question, so I'm curious what's your opinion on that?

You think there are no scandals in Russia? Lol There is 100 times more crime, scandals, corruption you just don't hear about it, cause its not public information. Similar thing going on in the arab world... their people critisize everyone else but themselves. Little do they know, most of the corruption begins in their country.

Def a bad ass...

No not the same not by a LONG shot. Putin was also an agent.....he actually
did shit....unlike daddy bush who never done anything else than sitting
behind a desk acting stupid :2 cents:

Dare to comment what? I also know that Medvedev will be a new president, because his rating is very high here. Personally I won't vote for him, but many other will.

Will he become independent? No one knows the answer. When Putin was elected he also was dependent from Eltzin but you saw that happened after. The same story could happen to Medvedev, or could not... I can't read his mind so I can't answer this question which is very stupid IMHO. Like if you asking me will the dollar continue falling after the next president's elections in the USA. If I could know the answers I could make a VERY HUGE money on it.

What a gangster ...
He's gonna rock the Russia =)

btw, hes an owner of 40 billions, wealthy guy =)

what a baby rambo

I was admiring Putin because of his personal abilities, intelligence and his success in literally any thing he stepped into, including KGB, business and politics .. unlike Bush, a failed son, a failed student, a failed military pilot, a failed businessman and a failed president.[/QUOTE]

I completely agree with you

I agree completely
