somebody has been overdosing on RT, everybody's favourite 'independent' media cos you know russian media are so independent unlike western media
Not one of those who care for what is said, rather who says it. Great start. Lets hope around football you do understand the concept of a budget. Maybe, someday you will find that missing link.
I won't get sucked into the debate on why America is bad, because I don't follow them nearly enough. But I'm living right next to Russia in a city where more than 50% have Russian as their first language, half my TV and radio channels are Russian and I see the propaganda, the lies that flow out of that country daily, trust me, it's nothing you want to be like.
Why do you disagree that Russian authorities and their methods are very Soviet Union like, aren't we in the middle of Cold War 2?
We are in a much more dangerous world than the cold war times. I don't trust you or anyone else about the Russian propaganda, since I understand the language. I will tell you the golden rule of espionage during Cold War times - Russians were gathering operatives using ideology, Americans - money. You do the math.
They are not very like Soviet Union. Obviously, there are some similarities but those are national traits. Soviet-ism wasn't Russian in its core to begin with.
Another funny thing is you are living next to Russia. I guess every big country has a larger gravity, but USA has 150+ bases overseas. Military bases, not hospitals mind you. Won't even cover other propaganda-related institution. If someone cannot comprehend that he is living in LaLa land and no amount of reason will suffice.
It will be the other way if the Russians were sailing 30 miles off New York. Only two kinds of people fail to see that - fanatics and idiots.
