Medvedev blames U.S. for world financial crisis

[truckdawg43]

I had a big speech but you assclowns aint worth it fuck off

[sfsTrader]

i guess the US gets the blame for any economic down turn. but when u learn that the US is a large portion of the whole world economy, Russia and China are trying to be big free markets like the US and that downturns and upturns are a part of the natural cycle......does passing blame really matter?

[aviomaster]

In this WILD world run by USA imperialist scum bags ,

Only thing of survival are NUCLEAR WEAPONS ... That is the only thing to keep you safe ...

and Russian Federation knows this , IF ww-III starts not just Russians will die . but all those who ATTACK Russian Federation will be turned into Radiation Hunted Waste LAND ...

GOD bless Russian Federation

[Germtrancsuperman]

- Romantic Brothers - FLOWERS - ! U must to listen this great i-tunes smash! Hilarious! About politics, economy & war! Real situation song.

[rkapo7]

the US was the main cause of the Economic downturn - true

[CarringtonVilla]

@rkapo7 How?

[rkapo7]

It would take pages - let us start with the US Appraisal System, it is basically corrupt. Then we go to everybody in your Finance Industry on Commission - corrupted by the Commissions - the bonus at the end of the month or year was more important than lending sensibly. Many of these loans then sold to Foreign Banks in bulk - supposedly secured by assets. They were not.

[CarringtonVilla]

@rkapo7 1) I'm not American, so I don't konw why you refer to the FInance inudstry on Commission on "your Finance industry on Commission"

2) For an Ozzie you seem to know a lot about the US, I guess you really love the country.

[Serbpride4lif]

Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev...quite possibly the best, most truthfull and intelligent politicians since the great Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia!!!!!. Go Russia, your blessed with two great leaders! :D

[RationalEmotive]

Medvedev is just a Russian Dan Quayle puppet, mind-controlled by Putin's evil semen pumped up Medvedev's ass on a daily basis.

Kasparov and truth for the win!

[Nickalispicalis]

Kasparov is a joke in Russia. He should have stuck in Chess. He is not even Russian by the way. He is Azeri.

[DoomHell999]

its Fucking Canada that Broke Free Fuck and Nazi would of won if the world was not all after them at once

[uuubeut]

Lies it's the Zionist Israel/Russian bankers who are the Antichrist!!!

[polygamous1]

But the Russian central bank is RUSSIAN OWNED N RUN yes zionist controll alot But Not everything they are Not to blame for everything wrong on earth

[Diadematov]

We need a new world bank, now we have a real chance to set up a new world order in which we can all live in.

[polygamous1]

yea right with a new currency based on Gold haha But the existing bankers now OWN all the Gold as they made it illegal for commoners to hold gold so they can hold us by the balls ake up guys we soon be chipped for the benefit on the elitist UNLESS Mr Putin n his great nation stops them no one else can on earth unless God interveens once again

[FLACSC74]

He is a queer

[bundykurgan]

stupid americans, how you could win ww2, when you started to help?after we started to win, you just waited who gonna winning nazis or russians , i am pretty sure if hitler started to defeat us you maybe helped him or did not help us, 2600000 russians died in ww2 and how many americans? 80% of german soldiers were killed in battles aganinst soviet union, and they teach you in schools that battle in normandia was the most important and...))))))))))

[italuno]

Let's not forget how much help Soviet Russia gave to Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. Raw materials and bases to test weapons. What about the invasion of poland in 1939, Soviet Russian partioned the country between them. The Russians fed the wolf and it came back and bit them!!!!!!

[polygamous1]

Russia took 80 of germany's military might TRUE but Russia was in huge danger then 1 british official in theBRembacy in japan notified the Russians Japan would attack us Not russia that enabled russis to get its Siberian troops their best to face the nazis that made a HUGE difference most important battle in WW2 battle of Britain if Britan lost Russia lost the N sea convoys n they needed them badly to keep fighting the most desicive battle in WW2 the battle of stalingrand then al-almain n monty

[BergenFana]

Putin was one the most intelligent leaders in the world. So may this guy be. But US politicians and presidents are puppets of the big corporation. Apart from JFK all who followed him were puppets

[Bluffooo]

Thumbs up

[CarringtonVilla]

@BergenFana If the West did what Putin does, people like u wud be the first ones dead...

[Stepashka2]

Medvedev is the man.

[sparze1]

medved is putins privet bitch

even Bush called him " good boy "

lmao !!

[dakinehawaiiman]

JuanDeSoCal thanks man, i dont know language enough to explain things about ww2)))

[dakinehawaiiman]

o0zeroeffect0o your a complete idiot... i cant beleave that you realy learnd in school to write words... its infernal hard work to learn it with a small brain like yours))))

[DorksAnonymous]

I live right near st pete

[marktimmer2212]

i would love to stay and talk

but i have more urgent matters i have to take a crap

[benitogarciaweblog]

The mundial economic crisis have always affected of different form to Russia, with socialism and without socialism.

[bax318]

And stop arguing about politics and governments As we Russians say: we'r all very loud opposition then at our home kitchen! what personally we can do about it? There r nice people & assholes everywhere! so come on people leave without stereotypes ! And beg for WW3 is not happen to be!

[Alcoholic1478]

I would just hope Russia would be the first country to use a nuke. The people left over after Russia was turned to rubble could look back and think....What an idiot....Was he wise threatening other countries with nuclear assault? Or did he seal our fate? We know the answer.....Like I said Russia's a joke.

[bax318]

the real joke is ur president! lol He even doesn't know the difference between Austria & Australia! lol I agree with KARStarla u should draw the line between people & their president otherwise we have to consider that all the Americans r as dumb as their president.

And about China: Putin does a lot China-Russian cooperation (& don't forget we still sending weapon to them) I live in East Siberia & we already have got lots of mix families so probably the new race is coming )

[ngonea]

My apoligies, everyone in Amerikkka is not stupid, it is just that one groups gene pool is to close, that's also the problem with "W"

in-breeding.

[Alcoholic1478]

And Russia is a turd, who cares about them. They are nothing. They are all talk, and can't hurt us. China is the one to worry about, but any next world war will end with all countries being obliterated, so intimidation or threats mean nothing. We all know what the outcome will be. Russia is a bitch.

[Killazer]

China has a strong economy but Russia still has much more technology than China in military, aviation, and nuclear tech as well as space technology. Russia is far from a bitch... you will be Russias bitch if that is what you think.

[Crickettedog]

@Alcholic1478: Stop listening to mainstream media in the West. You are an ignoramus for watching that Master Mind Controller. Your problem is the fact that your brain is pickled. Go dry out.

[Alcoholic1478]

I don't know about you guys but I look back at Ron Paul and wish he was on the ticket. Someone with his views is what we need. Government needs to stay out of the private sector, Government bailouts, WTF is this?!!?! California was hit hard by the housing crisis and not til Wall street feels the pain do they decide to do something....SCREW wall street...they need to fix the small problems that started this before they bailout the big banks. Middle class didn't cause this, upper class did.

[1BuckeyeNation]

Russia is a financial joke and not a global player but have become insular stooges.

[comali2212]

The great depression is on the way , the good days are far behind , bad days are coming ahead and the american dream is becoming a nightmare.

[comali2212]

The finishing line for the marathon is still far and the competitors are tired , their knees and shacken , their strenght are weakening ...

The great depression in coming

[comali2212]

That's what happens when the wealthy abuse his fortune .

This is all part of the New World Order's plan.

Google Gary 33

[balzich14]

o yea so was the previous great depression, o its soo clear now.......

[MadRussianStudent]

As for America, well the Americans have always belittled the Russians. I suspect that in this long term game of chess, the rapidly declining superpower of the USA will lose. The USA has for too long lived beyond its financial means and now it is going to suffer the severe consequences of this. America now has the classic status of 'the Emperor has no clothes'.

[KARStarla]

Why is everything so stereotyped? Not americans belittled Russia, besides most people can draw the line between its people and its dictators much like we do with our own people verses the government who runs around shopping and dumps the load on its people

Some of us never had clothes lol

Seriously though as were charging into Iraq, millions of Americans like myself do not believe in this war, and some of us honestly feel that we are being sabotaged from the inside

[12valvepower1]

did he say we are ignoring bhuddists?

[hornwell]

"if the gloabal governance institutions are strong

Thats a big if.

[PaTrIcIaJAn22JuNe74]

In case the global economy does crumble shouldnt we be at least growing our own food now? Watch the featured vid at the top of my channel to see how it can be done even on a modest sized piece of land.

[PaTrIcIaJAn22JuNe74]

Otherwise if you're an apartment dweller or dont have much land to grow on, why not get some community gardens happening....Good ideas?

[PaTrIcIaJAn22JuNe74]

Medvedev should read fellow russian Vladimir Megres Anastasia's series of books.Her solutions to the problems of the world make so much sense.

Stop blaming others and start implementing real change, at the grassroots...The meltdown is happening right now!!!

[talktal]

lets see, commodities are tied to the dollar, and greedy americans doubled the money supply in less than 5 years by allowing for bad loans to be made. as a result, commodity prices double, and even tripple in some cases. i think the us holds a lot of blame.

[PaTrIcIaJAn22JuNe74]

Lets see Blaming is nearly universally observed in children...We all know of the follies of the U.S Administration, so lets do something about it responsibly....

[talktal]

yeah, stop electing retards into office.  tough task for the dumbest western nation in the world

[antonmigr]

actually they're getting better as new stuff gets released, you idiot

[Tyler8711]

i was "lucky" enough to be born in america....but im also lucky enough to know how pathetic it is.

[o0zeroeffect0o]

then move out. go to russia im sure you will live perfectly fine there in thier 3rd world neighborhoods and corrupt police. americans like you are spoiled idiots. you complain when you live in the richest country in the world. you are a total failure to your people. once you see the real world you will crawl back to the united states like a fucking roach.

[ruskiassassin187]

u need to relax, have u ever been there to claim that russia's neighborhoods r 3rd world, have u ever had a confrontation with the police there? easy to sound cocky when u havent had 1st hand experience, in reality u really dont know anything, u just need to keep ur mouth shut, and actually analyze the situation thoroughly before u make these kinds of statements

[ruskiassassin187]

reply to "o0zeroeffect0o" 7th comment down

[o0zeroeffect0o]

actually we arent all dumb here in the USA. you see we are divided at this point the smart side are democrats liberals and the dumb side are the right wing neocon religious fanatic republicans who put bush in office twice ! they dont care if you suck as president as long as you're christian they vote you in. but it aint gona happen this time. we wont let the stupid ignorant religious right control this country any longer. wait for election day

[TAXENGINEER]

o0z:

I dont like the propaganda here so I am unsubscribing to RT.You bring up some interesting points.

YOURE GOING FROM ONE EXTREME TO ANOTHER NO THANKS.

[KhmerD0g]

ok. at least you recognized the extreme views. i don't like extreme left nor extreme right views either.

[Sleepwel]

Please, look at You Tube to "The Air Car" It is an revolution of energy. Made in France. A little bit of energy for thousend miles driving

[slavixtube]

seems promising technology.. would love to see them produced

[energyismass]

Oh, yea, you can blame the likes of Sen. Phil Grahm and his lovely wife for deregulating the securities market, over the counter derivatives etc. which has led to crisis from banking to the hyperinflationary effect happening right now!  You read? Economist are saying we are in a ressession right now heading for worse, open your eyes, just because you may have it good in life don't mean others are not suffering. One man's ressession is anothers depression. Record foreclosures on and on.

[aviomaster]

-- SOME people need to UNDERSTAND ... THAT RUSSIAN current political system is very close to EUROPEAN UNION ....

[Woodchuckk]

3 cheers for the US Federal Reserve!

3 cheers for the vaule less dollar backed only by trillions of debt!

3 cheers for the US federal government (yes Obama and McCain too) for spending us into the abyss!

An to the rest of the world, your coming with us! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH!

[neytosh]

The world is being forced to subsidise America's wars, as well as it's cheap gas prices. Take this "sub-prime loan" crap. They deliberately sabotaged healthy European economies with their worthless "structured investment vehicles", fooling their European "ALLIES" into swapping ROCK-SOLID european investments for worthless U.S loans. Once EU economies faltered, they (OPEC) upped the price of oil by cutting production. Result: inflation UP, economies DOWN, USA holds world hostage.ENDGAME

[ItsStillBill]

if you want to say this is america's fault for bio fuel we can say that it is OPEC's fault for making us turn to bio fuel. the fact is this: if you hurt the U.S. economy, you hurt the global economy. If I have to pay almost twice the price for gas as a year ago, I guess it's not just bad for me.

[wuri4]

Latvia always was fucked. by Russians, Germans etc.. ahaha. stay calm bitch

[qcn]

Underestimation of KGB-nazi clique devotion to terrorism against the Free world. These animals wouldn't put up until so called 'Russia' is fully broke and split.

[eekdog2005]

Blame the US govt? Or maybe the Federal Reserve Bank? The World Bank? Who prints the money? Who is killing the dollar?

[JiveDadson]

The US government has contributed to the problem enormously with subsidies for farmers not to grow food, and the ethanol fiasco. But other governments are to blame too, with export limits, capital controls, and price caps. Yes, price caps create shortages, which lead to higher prices. (Law of unintended consequences)

[mikepasek]

agree with you 100% bro damn farmers are making shit load of money for their corn! and now we Americans pay much more for food

[aviomaster]

-- Medvedev is right for SURE ... USA capitalists fucking people in USA and all over the WORLD ...

[blackxavior]

That is a genius observation. Lets just rule out all other capitalist. Say the Chines, Indians, Saudis and Russians. Look at Chinese capitalism and compare it to American.

[antonmigr]

i love you too

[HerrMoppel]

The US economy is a parasitic one. Basically, it is about export of dollars. Russian economy is about export of the raw oil. But if you look at the oil prices today, you will come to the conclusion that oil-producing countries are able to buy the USA and GB, which they will.

[blackxavior]

European governments are basically ticks on the back of the US military dominance. The Europeans parasitic traits have allowed them to become socialist paradises because they need not worry about military security. When American military power wanes Europe will have to give up there huge socialist responsibility and build functional military's of there own.

Don't wish for the downfall of the US to ardently. It will be painful for Europe as well.

[neytosh]

It is about time somebody had the balls to stand up and say "enough is enough". America has been butt-fu**ing the rest of the world ever since the end of the ww2. This global depression has been orchestrated by these clowns! The price of oil is being controlled by US to take the world hostage. Fight your own damn wars ALONE! ARISE A POWERFUL RUSSIA!

[blackxavior]

America has been screwing the world since ww2 ended? Care to back that up with some facts? How did America create the global depression. In the real world you can just spout propaganda. You have to have some ideas backing them up. So you think Russia is going to be a friendly power like it never has been in its entire.

[energyismass]

Lets see, killing off leaders and installing puppet governments, from Iran in the fifties to countries in south america. Global depression brought on by over the counter derivatives which have ballooned to 700 trillion dollars globally (cnbc). Take a history lesson and learn current economic situation before opening your ignorant pie hole.

[blackxavior]

Lets see no world war since ww2. Steady rise in the standard of living for most of the world and especially US allies since 1950. A relatively stable world economy not seen ever in the history of the world. Countless technological advancements. The spread of democracy and the near eradication of communism. I could go on.

How is the US responsible for your yet unproven global depression?

Take a lesson from yourself and learn the situation before you open your ignorant pie hole.

[energyismass]

No WW but plenty of war from then till now. Its all about the weapons and sales of them, oil and control. You think these F*cks in the pentagon give rats ass about us or anybody else? Rise in standard of living after FDR new deal electrified the nation and ushered in the appliance age which sparked another economic boom along with petro chem. and auto industry after boom of WW2 weapons production dug us out of the hole the crooks created. Same thing today, history repeats.

[blackxavior]

You need to clarify what your point is. This paragraph is just a mindless rant.

Still waiting on your proof that the US caused a yet unproven global depression.

[energyismass]

Still not clear? Geeze..Point is if you read, Global credit unregulated derivatives the tune of 700 trillion, thats trillion with a T. Many of these securities they cannont even value now from falling realestate prices and foreclosures, large leveraged deals etc. What the hell is so hard to understand about that? They'll just say, its all good. Fact is this is only the beginning of the meltdown. Countries around the world are skiddish on the dollar and have been systematically dumping US $

[blackxavior]

So what the FUCK does that have to do with America since WW2?

Where is the proof of the global depression? Do you even know the definition of depression or recession?

How exactly is the US responsible for a world wide unregulated derivatives problem?

Did you just jump on your soap box today and i was the first comment you found?

[energyismass]

Don't get so huffy puffy dipshit. I just told dumbass. It was republican Texas Sen. Phil Grahm and his wife wendy who ran the chicago exchange that pushed for unregulated derivatives. Unregulated securities ballooned since. THEY ARE JUNK, GET IT! JUNK! ARE YOU DENSE? We are in an energy crisis, food riots around the world and RECORD numbers of Americans and others around the world losing there homes and jobs, wake the hell up. I told 3 times now what the F problem is, f'n retard. READ!

[energyismass]

Proof is the pudding.

[blackxavior]

I don't think you even know what your talking about.

[energyismass]

That's your problem, you don't think, you follow.

[blackxavior]

Your problem is i don't follow ignorant liberal idiots like you.

[energyismass]

Ahhhh now I see, you have been properly propagandized. Don't be a fool, its not about libs and cons, dems and pubs. Its easy to fall into that. If you think your better because your a con. stick your head up and ass and take a good wiff. Cuz your shit stinks just as bad as everyone else. This is about truth, not ideologies. And by the way, liberal means "educated" Go ahead follow ignorance, for ignorance is bliss to people like you. Good day.

[blackxavior]

I'm not a con i have my own ideas and they don't involve America being the root of all evil. You are just a pathetic apologist brainwashed liberal so far from reality you cant see the light of day. Only someone who has been sheltered from reality in a cozy web of western protection all there life would say its not about ideologies. Governments and cultures don't run on truth.

Liberal does not mean educated maybe you should "educate" yourself and look up the definition of liberal.

[doford]

A liberal wants liberty. To secure ones own self, one must be educated.

Energy is sort of right. Conservatives in america have change tho. Traditionally conservative are meant to follow the american constitution. They should be for low tax, low spending and support capitalism, Liberal stuff.

[blackxavior]

I have many liberal and conservative views. I just don't agree that America and all our influence has done more harm than good. In the big picture.

[energyismass]

Your about a bad a liar as bush. Your clearly partisan in your views, another dumbed down american. You probably love rush, hanity etc. If you really want to know what is going on, read the 35 charges for a case of impeachment all involving illegal activity. The resolution for impeachment voting 6-12-08 Bush and co. are a criminal enterprise, flat out scum that should be put in jail. I dare yout to read it. I never called america evil or the root of it and Gov. do run on truth dipshit.

[blackxavior]

Why would i lie about my politics to a jerk like you? I don't really care what you think.

Name the goverment that runs on truth.

[energyismass]

Ever hear of the constitution? By these truths" etc. These truths are self evident" Oath of office, on a bible etc. Its called the USA runs on truth. If you think its normal or OK that people purposely subverse the constitution and thier oaths for a means to and end you are no better than the scum bags that get off doing it and getting away with it. NO MORE.

[blackxavior]

The Constitution is an ideology no matter how many times the word Truth it used.

[neytosh]

He won't read it, he's too busy looking-up the word "Liberal".

[neytosh]

You forget too easily.

[o0zeroeffect0o]

you sir are a fucking idiot. screwing the world since ww2? lets see we saved europe and defeated hitler. as for the economy of the world it grew because of the US. many many products invented here that get manufactured in other countries like china. and also not to mention the millions of jobs shipped overseas from here which in return doesnt do us any good in the united states. so you should go into more detail on your failed claims faggot

[JuanDeSoCal]

I'm an American, but I recognize that the Soviet Union was primarily responsible for defeating Nazi Germany and it's allies in Europe. I realize, however, that those among my countrymen who only get their information about the history of this conflict from American-made television shows might think the the U.S. defeated the Axis powers single handed. I assure you though, it isn't true. Pick up a serious book on the subject.

[Jaseph2]

Who the hell do you think paid to equip the Soviet Union to fight the Nazis? If it weren't for the might of U.S. industry supplying the Soviet Union would have been defeated by the Nazis.

[JuanDeSoCal]

You refer to the "Lend-Lease" program. Straight from the US state Dept. website: "Lend-Lease was designed to serve America's interest in defeating Nazi Germany without entering the war until the American military and public was prepared to fight."

Until the US was prepared to FIGHT, and even after, the USSR bore the brunt of combat in Europe. About 4 out of 5 Axis soldiers who perished did so in the East. America's luxury of geography, and the USSR's sacrifice, bought US industry crucial time.

[CarringtonVilla]

@JuanDeSoCal "who only get their information about the history of this conflict from American-made television shows" Don't we all.

[FightTheElite]

Another puppet calling for a new world order.

[HerrMoppel]

Anyway, U.S. economy is not any more, but they still have a lot of weapons like F22, B2, AH-64, Abrams M1A2, Foxnews, Washington Post, IMF and so on. Obviously, they will use their power to solve economic problems, but it is to late.

[VictorWasechkin]

all their military vehicles, planes, ships require oil, lots of oil... It can not move without oil

[Evi1Jester]

Poor people? Ah, welcome american democracy! Where we invade 3rd world countries and destroy them for oil! Land of the free...

[antonmigr]

lol talk about invading other countries. does the term the world revolution remind you of something

[slavixtube]

reminds me of neocons

[su27forserbia]

Well time will tell!

[su27forserbia]

Puting RUSSIA on GOOD path !! like Putin did!!

[MrMatSanders]

lol, this guy got a job as president of russia, where do you work, and what have you done to even speake in this manner:)

[su27forserbia]

Well done ! Gooo MEDVEDEV GOOOO!!!

[historywillabsolve]

i'm glad the Arabs are jacking up oil prices. I can tell you its already gotten a lot of idiot drivers off the road, and made the streets a lot safer.

[talktal]

it's not the arabs, it's the investors jacking up prices.

[wb678]

Arabs should raise the price of petrol for homosexual AmeriKKKans.

The USA is a threat to global stability.

[Seneka4295]

New economic world order? Now doesn't that sound familiar...

[vasilisksand]

someone told the truth :O , unbelivble

British (USA's bitch slave) would never say those words

[forexnoob]

I am pretty sure that slip up was pre-planned by Medvedev for comic relief.

[dswynne]

Man, none of you clowns know anything about the American economy. Example: it's ten times larger than Russia's.

[antonmigr]

thats what im saying. dem russians cant get over the cold war. lol

[VictorWasechkin]

Example: the population of the usa is 5 times larger, therefor economy is bigger.

[antonmigr]

5 times bigger? that means that 1 billion people live here? lol, and the standard of living in the usa is like 50 times better than in russia, and that's when russia has all the natural resources in the world. you guys just can't get over the cold war. does blaming the USA for all of your problems make you feel better?

[Timehadcome]

I'm a simple observer in this world, but it seems that the chill is actually coming from the West rather then Russia. I hope the two power can settle their differences before it's too late and hopefully US will not put missiles next to Russia, it will trigger a new arms race. I know this statement is not backed but I can elaborate on this if you want.

[talktal]

dont worry, our life styles are going down by the day, bush has made sure we'll live like the russians soon

[antonmigr]

you're an idiot

[talktal]

you're brain washed

[antonmigr]

how?

[talktal]

twit

[antonmigr]

that didn't answer my question

[talktal]

i dont need to. you had no argument to call me an idiot. if you dont see the life styles of people in the us are getting worse by the day, you're a twit.

[MosquitoTheRapist]

nice one

Someone start to tell truth

[7boon]

Funny and very true Freudian slip...

[s5switch]

What the hell was that?!?! The commentator said, "Prezident Rossiy Vladi, uhh.. Dmitry Ivanovich Medvedev."

At least it was full of laughs, indeed, not everyone knows the new man.

[BloodyRosie]

not Ivanovich - Anatolyevich.

[s5switch]

spasibo! yah i forgot...

[NoGoldenGoose]

Greed and stupidity brought this on the U.S. The willingness of the American people to believe the B S politicians in Washington D.C. hand out via the U.S. media is sad. We are suppose to be a government of the people. I remember when current President Bush told Americans to go out and buy as a response to 9/11. Seven years later the U.S isn't any safer and is near bankrupt.

[VictorWasechkin]

yeah, go out and buy our 4 gallon oil :)

and listen more to bushes

[antonmigr]

4 gallon oil? wtf did you say?

[VictorWasechkin]

4 fucking bucks per gallon of shitty americos oil - and the prices will rise until americoses ain't nothing to drink with their dirty throats, that's what I mean.

[antonmigr]

wow that sounds like a scary scenario. don't worry pal, alternative energy is on its way

[antonmigr]

victor but you russians have to pay the same price for oil

[VictorWasechkin]

we do, but we don't cry, do not set toilets on fire, like one old lady did in the USA (I read yesterday).

[12valvepower1]

hahahahahahahaha. victor, i did not know that.

[antonmigr]

you dont bitch about gas prices because you can't afford cars, and filling up the gas tank would cost you guys half of your monthly salary LOL.

[antonmigr]

does reading news reports like that make you feel better victor?

[VictorWasechkin]

As a patriot, I am glad to feel the force of my country, and force needs the field, mental field, ideological field. So, the news can go slightly ahead of real facts, if you understand.

[antonmigr]

who cares if you are a patriot of some 3rd world country? LOL. and secondly, learn to speak english pal

[antonmigr]

get an effin life victor

[Timehadcome]

take it easy people, don't go back to the cold war ;)

[stealthpakfa]

the US is no longer the economic power it used to be, it is tryin to put a brave face to the world! it is time for the IMF to be moved to beijing and world bank moved to moscow. UN should be moved to shaghai!

[wafi0123]

look americans where is your politics just inside the trash. gulf war givs thousands of dead bodies oil price high hollow economy weak daller dreamless world, damage of reputation war crime a lots of bad things.

[12valvepower1]

it is certainly our fault. and i work heavy equipment.. no finance means me no work. me no money.. hmmm... the housing market and the banks really monkeyed all of us. the banks screwed up royally

[antonmigr]

12valvepower1 i have a solution to all your problems: go back to russia

[lawsonks]

That is the problem the West exists on credit to fund a lifestyle that is inappropriate for most people. The media keeps telling you that you need newer, bigger, better and that what you bought yesterday is no longer what you should have. Money is no longer a physical item that you hold in your hands, it's anonymous piece of plastic whose balance only concerns you either once a month or when it gets rejected at the point of sale. The West are credit slaves and many not by choice.

true law. But who gives the credit? Who controls the money supply? What is money? when was the petro-dollar ever discussed regularly and in depth on the news? When were the concepts of fractional reserve banking and the evolvement of the banks and their money ever examined and the people behind them? People give their sense of responsibility over to others and then complain when they're not served well. Humanity esp Americans need to grow up. Africa is the country that America will be soon.

Stargate - Point is they don't get examined. Look what happens when they try to examine your Ministers and their elaborate and interesting expense accounts. People are sheep, they don't question things so long as they are happy, fed and have other things to distract them from their homogenised cottonwool existences. Give them a celebrity lifestyle to aspire to and a credit card and watch them destroy themselves, and as soon as the credit line runs out - who is in control then?

St. Petersburg: one of the world's most beautiful cities! The financial crisis in the United States will undoubtedly cause some problems elsewhere in the world. However, the global pull and influence of the US is no longer what it was ... economic difficulties within the US will likely be greater than those outside. On the other hand with the current and anticipated increase in energy prices Russia's star is undoubtedly on the rise.
