@Mankindfails

"US-style democracy" and Freedom in the same sentence doesn't sound right.

It is, what it was, what it will be. It's all about what (IS) is if (UP) is up when (Down) is really up, but up is still up when down is down. It is all perfectly clear and there is no excuse for drawn out explanations of the obvious, when the obvious is not quite so obvious as actually represented by the elusive facts that complicate the uncomplicated conclusions that were prematurely arrived at before it was all perfectly clear and there is no excuse to go further in this irretrievable loop.

The government's owned by wall street. Thus, America is a very corrupt nation.

Keep money out of my government, and vice versa.

I think Putin has(I hope this is the case) stepped up because the globalist freaks are inching in again.I hope he kicks those fuckers out again.For the sake of everyone.The extreme cynical angle would be he's one of them and you'll end up in the EU.From flimsy evidence I think Medvedev was on the globalist track.Hard to call.Insufficient DATA

@xpressurs Look at all the people in power that are KGB agents.
