I just think it would be nice if we could have a tiny break from war and conflict, maybe a year off just to recharge the batteries because it's exhausting reading about it every day, one minute it's ISIS the next the Russians now we're on to the North Koreans I'm having trouble keeping up lol

Well this is awkward...turns out it these hackers have used tools leaked from the NSA

Looks like the attack could've originated in the US towards Russia and China...

You're very pro russian nik seen a few of you're posts where you seem to object to any criticism towards them. Well not for me they have been an enemy towards the west for decades and always will be.

As for the that c**t putin hope the f****r drops dead.

I see on other sites americans and brits blowing smoke up putin and Russias arse, baffling to say the least.

 

Because he puts his own country first and doesn't bow to globalists?

 

Give me a British version of that and I'm sold....by the way I have actually listened to all of his speeches (you see I always do my research) and if you did the same you would see he is highly intelligent unlike our politicians and if you were a Russian you would probably love him. I am a ptriot at heart but I am never going to jump with joy at the prospect of destroying some third world shit hole just for lols....I've worked in several that we have caused havoc in and it was embarrassing to talk to the locals.

 

Anyway I digress, are you happy to just believe our media and politicians without seeing evidence? When we attack a country I want to see as much as I can since we've been duped so many times....especially when that country has 5000 nuclear missiles

 

I must be an idiot.....

"If you were Russian you would probably love him" haha.......That's a massive assumption Nik or have you been watching hundreds of hours of footage of Russians saying they love Putin? Yes you probably have.......:-( haha.....

I think you'll find they are very split in Russia over Putin Nik, just like us westerners are split over what's right & wrong for our countries. A member of my extended family is Russian, which obviously doesn't qualify me as an authority on Russian views, just a little insight that's all.....

Ofcourse now living in the west, they have the benefit of looking back at Russia without state controlled media :-)

I see you've highlighted in another thread how 'the state' can be heavy handed with someone they see as a threat, but at least Tommy Robinson is still alive, eh?

Maybe you should try living there Nik? Infact I think all these western Putin worshipers would benefit from a little spell in Russia, but I suppose it's much easier to admire from afar.....

Do you imagine I have pictures of him on my walls or something?

I would like to visit Russia just to see what it is like but no I wouldn't want to live there and yes it is far more conservative that most of us could handle. I have also talked to a few Russians which was interesting, most seem to like Putin but they all believed there was a oligarchy that had way too much power probably true.

 

At the end of the day he brought that country back from economic ruin so he deserves some admiration for that at least, as far as them being authoritarian I think Russia is a country that likes it's strongmen and any weakness could end up with a coup like what nearly happened to Gorbachev.

 

As Russia became more powerful our media suddenly sprang in to life with anti Russian propaganda, during the Sochi Olympic games the BBC did some really embarrassing stuff...I notice things like that and that's was what sparked my curiosity. If you look back on the dailymail website a couple of days ago they reported on the Victory Day parade claiming that the Russians have 'spiked' the clouds with chemicals to make the clouds disappear so the aircraft could fly

 

I think a lot of the stories we hear are fake as Russia and the propaganda machine is churning away producing ludicrous stories because it's easier than explaining the geopolitical realities.

 

Now just because I think that does not mean I am sat here wearing a furry hat and drinking vodka

Not even a little picture in your wallet?? Haha....

 

I would of liked to of visited Russia actually, it could happen I suppose, with my Russian connection...haha, but I can't see my mrs being interested....

I've always thought it a shame that a nation gets stigmatised by the actions of a few.

 

Yes I can't deny the success Putin has had, undoubtably intelligent, but I think at best he's a sociopath, with a very troubling history......so I'll ease up on the admiration just yet ;-)

 

I will give the Daily Mail website a miss though mate, I can't bare that paper!!

I'd like to visit St Petersburg and also see some of the famous WW2 battlefields, there are other places that would be just as interesting as well like Estonia or Latvia, I've never been to Eastern Europe...maybe in another lifetime.

 

Anyway Russia is in for some hard times, the oil prices are not going up any time soon and that is going to hurt unless Russia gives up on Ukraine which it cannot do because that is the traditional route for invading armies and should it join NATO, armour would be within striking distance of Moscow 300 miles to the North and 100 miles from Volgograd...obviously we aren't going to invade them but they are obviously very suspicious as to why EU would want Ukraine....you could argue they have fallen in to a trap where they had to choice but to act and therefore screw themselves economically. That probably suits the US very well while they are ironing out their foreign policy strategy.
