Listen to the utter nonsense spewed by this guy and then you will understand why countries like Russia and Co. will never be a threat to North America...
Which part of "fucking stupid" did you not understand?
Btw, Russia is a synonym for being dumb (does Alaska ring a bell?) incompetent(the rest of its history) and perpetually absent from reality = drunk,drunk,drunk...
Tovarisch, give it up, go back to your Siberian hole...
Actually Russia isn't a superpower. Its only a mildly influential regional power. The dont posse a direct threat the US manly because they dont have the Financial backing to launch an offensive campaign against the united states. I will agree that they do pose a nuclear threat but a large portion of Russias nuclear weapons are non-operational due to piss poor up keep. Russia is only a shell of what the USSR used to be.
This man makes very good points. North America has a very small black economy compared to the East. Corruption in America, however, is a different matter. It is institutionalized, masked and intertwined with Government and Corporate media.
With the bailouts, the mask of Fascism is now slipping off for all to see in plain view.
@zeropointpower I remember it was Tony Stelik, the man in the video, who warned us yearsago that the US was in danger of falling into the fascist model, not the communist model.
malignantpoodle (--- THAT is true ,, Poland was never member of CCCP ... DO not waste your time explaining this to uneducated American ... HE does not even know where POLAND is on the map ...
THEY do not care about POLAND their goverment cares about missle shield which is going to intercept RUSSIAN federation missles ,.... EVERY Polish I have talked to is against MISSLE SHIELD ...
-- GEORGIA is not a member of NATO ... BUT it is a USA's bitch state ,controlled by USA ass licking goverment ...
UKRAINE is not a member of NATO ,,, BUT still USA has installed a USA ass licking goverment ... ALL Eastern Europeans feeel like brothers ,, and they are Ukraine , Poland , Czeck Salovak republics,, Bulgaria Romania ,., etc... and are closer to RUSSIA than USA ...
claoser to Russia? I am Polish and I would say that there was no other contry which was always an enemy or at least so unfriendly for us like Russia. Today still their mentality is completely different and we just have to try to talk. The second point is that Russia is the country where real freedom has never existed, because today the society (supporting current authority 70-80%) allows to limit the freedom of the others. Poles are completely different pppl than Russians.
Poland was never a member of the Soviet Union. Interesting that someone from communist Poland refers to Poland as a Soviet state. Factually incorrect.
Regardless of what influence USSR had over Poland, Poland was not a member of the Soviet Union and were not a Soviet republic. I'm sorry, but it's just wrong to say otherwise.
Influence? The Russians controlled the Polish government. They WERE the Polish government. You can't get more influential than that regardless of what it is labeled on the surface.
It doesn't matter. I don't care how you want to slice it, Poland was NEVER part of the Soviet Union. Never. It's wrong to say that it was, it's factually incorrect. Period.
Its stupid to say it was not. All the Communist countries were under TOTAL control of the Soviet Union or more precisely Russia.
It does not matter what maps tell you, this person is not wrong at all. You probably never seen communism and you don't understand that it was total Russian domination, whatever Russia wanted, they had or did.
You don't understand that life was a misery because the Russians did not allow clothes into Poland, and products. You just don't.
You know I was not speaking of that, unless you are that stupid. I was saying that Poland was robbed of basic things to live with. We had clothes, but not so many as Americans. Things like bananas, sausages and other exotic fruits and not common things were something many ordinary Polish people wished for at the time, where in the USA it was a standard.
Poland was sold to Russia, and was under Russian slavery. That is the sad truth.
Your changing the context of what I said to make me look like a idiot which I'm not.
If not, then you took it too nearly. There were clothes in Poland, but not in all the vivid shapes and sizes, and colors. It was not a free for all like it was in the USA. It was a "You get what you get, and be happy that you got any" thing.
Ah, pure American arrogance, ignorance, stupidity and helplessness. Can't you do anyway else but swear. You fail my ignorant stupid friend.
I didn't take anything out of context stupid fuck. You said the Soviet Union didn't allow clothes into Poland. Now you're saying they didn't allow certain shapes and sizes.
You're changing your argument and as such, it's obvious that you have not even thought about what you're trying to say, and aren't worth my time.
Just think, an American is more educated and intelligent than you are. I wouldn't tell my friends about that if I were you.
I never was being nationalist, either. I'm not arrogant about America. I was just saying it's kind of silly to say that the current American situation is actually worse than the USSR. Does this defector even remember what life was like there??? How anyone could be hauled off by secret police and possibly killed if they were accused of subversion?
I mean, I've heard some pretty horrible things about the Soviet Union. Alexander Solzhitsyn (whatever his name is) may wanna talk to him.
I'm sure this credit crunch and financial crisis will boil over. It just takes time. And I don't think a silly stimulus package is gonna speed up economic growth much faster than natural. Either way, the economy will take a while to come back up. If FDR's public works projects even did much to stimulate economic growth faster than normal, it couldn't have been much faster since the Depression lasted pretty damn long.
what a lame and useless comment. You'd like to be a critic of a man from Poland who saw Communism? Folks, the writer of the above comment enjoys hurting others and stealing their money. A big thumbs down.
It was a nightmare when the crisis (a correction) came to Poland. Queues everywhere. Clandestine market could not serve all. It was a hard time for simple people. Only shufflers did good or those who had direct and first access to goods - they could trade bartering. Money could not buy a lot but western money.
The USs is WORSE than the Soviet Union now? Look, I know Bush did a lot of shitty things and grabbed a lot of power and invaded 2 countries and all that bullshit, but come on now. We're still way freer than the Soviet Union ever was! You couldn't open your own successful business under Communism, but you still can here in America. This guy's nuts. Saying we're worse than the USSR is really stretching it. I still don't feel vastly oppressed, just really pissed off at the Republicans.
Well, I really don't think 2nd Depression is gonna happen anytime soon. Economic forecasts would be much worse more rapidly if a depression were to suddenly occur. We may be in the midst of a recession, but that's natural and part of the business cycle. Plus, we had several years of strong growth even after the first Bush recession after 9/11.
The Great Depression had at least 25% unemployment, and I think I've heard that it peaked at one point to 1/3rd of the workforce.
Unemployment (as it was measured in 1930s) is now running around 15% (shadowstats). We have a FIRE economy (Financial, Insurance, Real Estate) all of which have required bailouts. 70%+ of our economy is based on consumer spending (not production) and consumers are cutting back. Household debt is sky high, savings at an all time low. Treasury selling 10 times the bonds it did last year in Nov. to cover deficit. Dollar in danger of collapsing to half its value. Housing defaults peak in 2009.
For those who aren't 70 years old around here, enlighten us as to how it was measured differently from now. Isn't the current Labor Dept. way of collecting it the most accurate possible? If I remember right, don't they request and acquire data on layoffs and fired workers from each company? How can some private investigator or economist find 8+% MORE unemployment?? Forgive me if it sounds fishy.
The government "refines" their economic data in an effort to be more "accurate." This has happened incrementally over several administrations. You will have to Google it because it is too complex to cover here. Both unemployment and CPI (and consequently GDP) have been tampered with extensively. Mismanagement can lead to politicians losing office, so stats are tweaked not to show the effects of bad policy decisions. But, please don't take my word for it, research it for yourself.
@whoo689 Stop drinking the KoolAid. The books are COOKED. Clinton CHANGED the Unemployment cal;culation in the 1990's to only include people RECEIVING unemployment checks. Today's report, with a big jump in new jobless and AT THE SAME time a drop in the official "Unemployment" rate to 9.7%, just means that more unemployed STOPPED RECEIVING checks than jopined the ranks. And Obama is just believing his own propaganda when he declares it's getting better.
@whoo689 Well, here we are,a year later. It's much better, ain't it? Real unemployment at about 20% (that's the _underemployment_ number from the gov't if you want to compare Great Depression), and the real estate bubble hasn't finished bursting. What WAS a natural business cycle isn't allowed to happen, because Obama and Geithner are trying to shore up the markets, and they're only making it worse.
Do the people of the state started looking and listening you you as the people in the know?
May familily is in California. Not many of them are ready for this threat that the global elite have jammed down our throats (and many dont' even care).
