[RacistSkinhead1488]

[rossmeroe]

[RussianDefender100]

[kalogeroxx]

большие

[murk2002]

Return to Africa? lol. I hope he dosen't get eatin by a lion.

[seseljsrs]

It's a very good diplomatic move on Mr. Medvedev's part, it's important for Russia to demonstrate goodwill and to seek cooperation through international organisations.

Almost all African states, having suffered as a consequence of European imperialism and colonialism do not recognise the NATO-colony in Serbia's southern province and for this I give my thanks.

[englishgodess]

fuck off USA you destroyed my country. Burn baby burn

[Serbpride4lif]

Heres a fact of history.If it wasnt for the Russian people and my Serbian people, and the hundreds of years of history we had sacreficed in being the buffer zone and military and cultural might to put an end to middle eastern and asiatic expansionism into europe, if it wasnt for the great sacrifices and huge numbers of human lives of the eastern european Slavs, there wouldnt exist a europe as we know it today. It would all be the middle east. The US would still be an undiscovered nomadic land!!

[jreed136]

Yay!

[Flankymanga]

US is basically loosing the ground on a world scale. So they want to trigger these color revolutions arround the world to still grasp even a portion of the world control if possible. But they are running out of options.

[HitlerH8sNeoNazis]

Good luck Mr.Medvedev

[Serbpride4lif]

Im very happy Russia is improving its international status, improving economic and national ties with many other nations.All the best to Russia, at least Russian a world power which had never done any wrong to any nation, never in its long history had it created chaos and havoc like the imperealist US has demonstrated over and over again. I wish Russia and its people the best.

[jreed136]

Russa... Has never caused wrong or harm to any nation? Or wreaked havoc or chaos...?

Wow. You are completely and totally ignorant of history aren't you buddy?

[Serbpride4lif]

jreed136

My knowledge of history is very good. You see i actually research, think upon fact, reason and only then conclude given historical proof and common sense.Youve been led on by propaganda based media bent on the degredation of the russian image, be it because of fear or jelousy, that is the fact. The US, russia's most adamant enenmy had done everything in its power to ruin the image of the great Russian nation and its people,all whilst making it clear the evil establishment it is itself.

[jreed136]

Oh really?

Go read up on the slaughter of the Kulaks. That's a fact.

There are more instances of Russia's atrocities against mankind, and invasions of other countries, and orchestrating wars(Afghanistan) but I honestly don't care enough to think about them or look them up right now. That may make me look ignorant, but it's more apathy.

Have you ever considered that there is a thing called counter-propaganda?

Leading you to love Russia and hate America?

Eeeyaah. You're as manipulated as I.

[Serbpride4lif]

No im not lead on to believe anything. I know from what Russia had done to help my country countless times in history. They never backstabbed my people like the US did back in 1999. So yes, maybe my thaughts and opinions are somewhat influenced by emotion, as they are, im sure.But then its easy to put 1 and 1 together, see the outcome, respect what Russia had achieved as a nation and people, and then based upon reason and historical knowledge, only then dare criticise a great and proven nation.

[jreed136]

Hokay buddy.

Whatever you have to tell yourself.

[Serbpride4lif]

And yes as a freethinker i will think for myself, ill contineu to research and better my knowledge which is quite extensive as it is when it comes to history. And i will never give up on my sense of reason, for its only a matter of free thaugh, reason, and common sense which has given me a huge admiration for the russian people and the Russian nation as a whole.

[jreed136]

I'm a freethinker as well, and I know that Russia is not an angel.

No country that exists today is.

We, or our ancestors are guilty of rape, pillaging, war, genocide...

Just accept it.

[Serbpride4lif]

I dont know about your ancestors but my people had never done such things in the Serbian history. We did bring civilization, as we were the first non-nomadic people to settle the land where Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia is today. My ancestors civilized that land, gave the people a religion, a common language and script, created law and gave rights to citizens of Serbia. Serbs never invaded another nation or started a war with any neighboring nation, nor did they impose their ideals on other nations.

[jreed136]

My ancestors were Germanic Vikings.

(:

[Serbpride4lif]

Good for you..lol :D Mine were slavs, something im very proud of. :D I respect your a freethinker, never give up on the power of reason!

[MarshallKutuzov]

Well, I guess your ancestors were Germanic Vikings indirectly - I don't suppose your maternal ancestor had much choice about it, or remembered his name after he jumped back on his longboat :)

[MarshallKutuzov]

"freethinker"??? ROFL!!!

This is the head-case who told me in a private mail that he understood Russia because he'd once been to Amsterdam!!

That's "free thinking"?? Free of all logical content, that is!! ROFL!!

[jreed136]

I did not say I understood Russia because I've been to Amsterdam. LMFAO.

You said I've never been near Russia, and I said I've been to Norway and Amsterdam, which is nearer to Russia than where I currently live - Wisconsin.

You're a crazy!

[jreed136]

Here, and this isn't even from an American media site, or written by an American. "You should not believe people who say Chechens are not being exterminated. In this Chechen war, it's done by everyone who can do it," he said. "There are situations when it's not possible. But when an opportunity presents itself, few people miss it."

Guess which that the person that said this is from.

[Serbpride4lif]

Just the same as Bosnian muslims were saying that Serb troops were slaying their civilians!!..lol..When the conterary was in fact happening. People would say anything to gain foreign aid, to lie and manipulate international people in believing that 'they' are being victomised!!!.....

[jreed136]

Yes yes, defend Russia blindly though I've given you facts.

That was a quote by a RUSSIAN soldier by the way. Not a Chechnyan.

[MarshallKutuzov]

Hey, shithead, is that how far your in-depth knowledge goes?? The word for a man from Chechnya is *CHECHEN*, not "chechnyan" or whatever you made-up.

[jreed136]

Oh! Thank you for enlightening me. I didn't know that.

Heaven forbid I don't know something about an insignificant area of the world!

But yeah, you'd know about the CHECHENS since your country has enjoyed murdering them on more than one occasion.

[MarshallKutuzov]

Wrong, you claim all kinds of expertise in matters about Chechnya, without ever having been there, calling it now "insignificant" (I'm sure they will love you for that, you little piece of shit!), and being unable to find it on a map. Probably you think it's near Norway?? ROFL!!!

You are full of shit. Lot of yaaaankeeee biiiiiig moooouth - and no knowledge at all. None. Total fucking shit.

[jreed136]

I could find Checnya on a map easily, my knowledge of geography is pretty good.

Could you point out the country Djibouti on a map?

And no, it's not near Norway,

But if you notice, Norway is CONNECTED to Russia on a very small strip of land.

So cut your crap there buddy.

The language barrier makes what I said seem silly, but we all know the truth.

[MarshallKutuzov]

ROFL!! Keep going!! You're burying yourself with every idiotic posting you make, asshole!!

[jreed136]

Oh yes, much like your personal message to me in all caps threatening my life?

Hrhr.

[seseljsrs]

jreed136, consider donating your PC to any one of the thousands of local charities in your vicinity.

[jreed136]

Sure thing buddy.

[jreed136]

Also, are you a free thinker? I think not.

You don't seem mature enough.

Threatening physical harm to someone over the internet?

...Yeah.

[Serbpride4lif]

Your nation the US, merely a modern version of Rome, which had invaded and bombed 24 nations since WW2. The US had caused incomprehensible harm and death around the world without contributing to the world in any way. Russia on the other hand had created stability under the Soviet for half of the european continent, modernised a peasant land into a world power, and all within a few decades! It achieved that by its own means utilising its own land much unlike the UK or US had built their nations.

[greenday1978]

The polish, czech, romanians, lithuanians, latvians, estonian, finns, georgian, a good deal of the ucranian and...well let us face it quite a few more nations disagree with you on that one.

[roosterrocks]

I'm glad that Russia's economy is improving so much. While, America's leaders have their head up their ass.

[jreed136]

Of course, the little losers benefit when the big "bully" goes into a decline.

[greenday1978]

Russia's economy is improving? You do know what the recession is doing to Russian exports?

[roosterrocks]

Yes, but I meant that they were doing the right things to improve their economy. I hate to say this, but the U.S. caused this problem it isn't Medvedev or Putin's fault. I think this recession has turned more into a depression.

[greenday1978]

Well it is a serious economic crisis but let us not get carried away. All has to be put into historic prespective and I bet you that that in 20 years you will have to explain to people of the age you are now what was the great credit crunch crisis of 2008..because it will have past. In capitalist systems economical crisis are recurrent, they are part of the system and it is how the system finds a new balance. In the last decades we have been too pro market freedom.

[greenday1978]

Hopefully this will be a wake up call to remind us to be more pragmatic and not follow market or anti-market fundamentalists.

And regarding fault: who is to blame? The drug addict that wanted the drug or the drug dealer that wants to provide them? It might be convenient for developing economies (the BRIC) to leave blame at the US's doorstep but I prefere to share the blame. The west opened its markets, the developing economies stated having superavits (at the cost of western deficits)

[greenday1978]

Instead of using these superavits to improve the quality of life of their citizens most of it was offered back to the west as cheap credit, which the west used to fuel a cosumption sprea (of which the housing boom was a part), this consumption sprea produced more profits for the developing economies which, you guessed it, were offered back to to west as more cheap credit. This could not go on, and it snapped with the weakest link that was the housing market.

[greenday1978]

china is now fighting the depression by stimulating internal demand and Russia, as much as I can see is living of the proceeds of its gaz and hoping that the next winter will be a cold one and that europeans will be slower than what they are in replacing their sources of fuel.

Did you know that spain is already producing 40% of its electricity needs with domesticly produced wind energy?

[roosterrocks]

This wasn't caused because of a free market, well that was part of it, but it was mainly caused when Barney Franke passed a bill that forced the banks to give out loans to more people. These people couldn't pay back their loans and then the banks didn't have any money.

[greenday1978]

Barney Frank does not legislate in Britain, Iceland, the EU, etc. In all of these countries\economic territories, as in the US, regulations that had been in place for decades to prevent excesses were abolished or ignored. I doubt a law would have made banks do anyhting. You had lots of money circulating in international financial markets looking for a home, bankers got bonuses for yearly results (bigger volume of business that year) and not for a long term sustainability of that business.

[roosterrocks]

This just goes to show how corrupt the world banking system is, as much as people love to blame America. It was mainly our fault though, this is nothing new though the system has always been corrupt and I think it always will be.

[greenday1978]

I agree with you and do not blame a market economy for the crisis. I blame an unregulated, unsupervised extreme form of market economy. London Top bankers called themelves "masters of the universe" as a joke saying that nothing, not even governement could stop them. A basic economy law is that individuals will always do what they can to maximise their comfort. which i agree. The 2nd part of the law says that this will increase the comfort of all, which isnt always true.

[greenday1978]

lots of money looking for a home (where to be invested for the maximum return) meant cheap credit. Instead of borrowers competing for a loan you had the loaning agencies competing for customers, any customer, even low quality borrowers. From the point of view of the banker doing the loan, as long as that borrower didnt go belly up that financial year, he would still get his bonus. The boom fed on this and created a credit buble that had to explode.
