WEll they're only Russians they don't know any better.....

I believe you are not that familiar with Russian culture or the KGB "etiquette" but generally they refer to the Americans as Yankees when calling for world supremacy.

The Russians have a fair criticism to the USA, but should apply it to themselves sometime.

I mean they blame the Yanks for everything-they even tried blaming you for the the forest fires in Siberia this August, and they always try convincing the lesser people of the world that there are these GOOD GUYS in the East-east of the Oder and Danube rivers in Europe who are just around the corner ready to come and rescue them when those evil Yanks come in to steal their lands, resources and labour.

Universalism is trash

August?

Don’t they have a curse on August?

Yeah when the Taiga was on fire some Russian sites blamed the secret American HAARP system for them.

I remember reading about it then.

@ETBrooD looks like a plant

Honestly Russia needs to pull its head out of its ass, we need to as well, but that doesn’t mean they should let their nation rot the way it does.

He gets attacked from one direction an proceeds to attack the guys who did nothing

They just told the populace it was an attempt by the Yankees to overthrow the best man in the Universe-you know who, by setting the Taiga on fire so that he may loose the elections.

If Putin was less worried about power and more worried about his people Russia would be much better off. He had 20 years to fix this shit and he went to fight off hand wars for strategic goals

I wouldn't conclude things so quickly, the full context is still missing

Instead of fixing Russia’s demographics and economy first

I have seen some protesters do horrible things, including trying to set a police officer on fire

They told him to do that instead but he was too busy looting all the place up to actually do something about the people.

So it's not like this is black & white

It is still Iraq after all... @ETBrooD

In the beginning of the 2000s they voted for him with prospects and hopes for the future.

He didn't need the secret police to stay in power.

And now he f*cked it all up.

The west is dying, Russia is one of the most sick. And yes, Russia is a part of western civilization

Not that the situation here in the EU looks any better, thou, but really the Ruskies lost a great chance to become a true modern superpower.

They deny it so much but they can’t realize the Cold War is over

Same over here as well

I don't know if their demographics are fixable....

America should have extended a hand to Russia, and helped them out

Yeah...

That’s terrible

Add to that they're basically a petrostate at this point. Does not look good.

Well, actually the Russians feel kind of betrayed by you guys, too.

I mean the surplus men is ok since they’re in their 40’s

I know they do

Their government would have us believe otherwise

When the Cold war was over they wanted a modern society and working state

and instead the US sent its PR stunt men and looter banksters

Not when you look at their life expectancy. And then there's the problem of it taking 25 years to grow 25 year olds......

and now they hate you for that.

Our government is made up of pieces of shit
