    Yeah....a few platforms close to land.

    And they have issues with them all the time.

    For those of you naive enough to think that Russia is a free country and people are as free to do what they wish as the Westerners:

    Volunteering 101 in Russia
    1. You are "volunteered" by your superior who has orders from his superiors (going all the way to the top) to fill a quota of volunteers

    2. You are perfectly free to refuse but
    a. your career is over and you will be blacklisted for the rest of your life (best case scenario)
    b. you will be humiliated, persecuted, arrested, imprisoned, murdered at worst (in no particular order)

    The state pays compensation to their families? I did not know that. If so, then the Russian authorities - well done! But can you prove it?

    What problems have Russian platforms? Especially - "all the time"?

    Earlier, you said that the Russian can not build a platform in the Arctic. Now do you agree - Russian have a platform in the Arctic,..... but they have problems all the time. Do not you think it's funny?

    It was really funny. Very funny. Have you read the report?

    1. Report "Nemtsov" is not written Nemtsov.
    2. This "report", one crazy unemployed parasite writes about what Nemtsov allegedly told him.

    If, for example, I will write about what Kennedy supposedly told me - you will also refer to my "report"?

    Come on, even Russian media is no longer able to hide this. Here is an article published in a Russian newspaper and confirming everything I said in my previous post


    I did not want to take part in fighing in Ukraine
    Dozens of Russian servicemen abandoned their regiments due to their fear of being sent to fight in Donbas. They are currently being prosecuted by Russian military authorities on desertion charges.

    Some volunteers, huh?

    About how! It turns out there is no censorship in Russia. Is not it? It turns in Russia writing articles against the Russian government. But you assure us that all dissenters in Russia killed.


    But you could read the article. The article says that the soldier Shevkunov IN, being undergoing military service under the contract, being a member of his unit on a business trip in the area "Kadamovsky" stationed in Oktyabrsky district of Rostov region (Russia), being dissatisfied with the that he was sent on a business trip outside the Maikop (Russia) and the Republic of Adygea (Russia), not wanting to endure the hardships and privations of military service in order to evade military service ... willfully left the place of service (area "Kadamovsky"(Russia)).

    He was a deserter and a banal criminal. Which, to save himself, purely criminal case - trying to give her a politicized.

    and then the authors are killed or put in prison.

    just like in Nazi Germany.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Nemtsov wrote most of the report.

    hundreds of people were interviewed.

    but go ahead, and deny the truth.

    Have you ever seen some religious fanatics? I have seen. I mean - fanatics impossible to explain anything. Sometimes fanatics can be cured. But not always. (look at ISIS)

    By the way, you learn Russian language? Soon New York will be part of Russia. You must be prepared for this. And we will contact you to go in the Metropolitan Opera. on concert Russian pianist, Matsuev. Do you like classical music?

    I read the article, all these soldiers say they were about to be sent to Ukraine, the title of the article is actually a quote of their refusal to fight in Donbas. That the official Russian Government prosecutes them on "desertion charges" and does not mention Ukraine is expected but that they were about to be sent to Ukraine to fight kind of destroys your absurd claims about them being volunteers.


    PS The authors of the article take an enormous personal and professional risk publishing this kind of information and they will end up paying for it dearly sooner or later, just like Nemtsov and Politkovskaya and many others did.

    Arctic Ocean.

    The Arctic Circle comes down into Siberia.

    Russia does not have the Tech. nor the money or experience to develop either area to any extent.

    Russia has a submarine that can go under the Artic ice and shoot out missiles. Why it can even beat up countries with its monuments. Now can the US do that? :no:

    Russia has capable Military Systems but they simply do not exist in any numbers of capability to effect an overall Military Confrontation with the U.S. Military.

    As example Russia has just a handful of T-90 Tanks as their main battle tank is still the T-72 which Russia states it has 2000 T-72's battle ready....Jane's states this number is actually a bit more than 1500.

    Still the U.S. has over 6000 M1A1's and M1A2 Abram's Tanks pre-positioned in the Middle East and Europe never mind what we have in the States.

    An U.S. Abram's Tank's armor cannot be penetrated by either the newer T-90 or the T-72 Russian Tanks.

    In fact a U.S. Abram's Tank armor cannot even be breached by another Abram's Tank.

    U.S. weapons systems would cut through Russian Conventional weapons Systems like a HOT KNIFE THROUGH WARM BUTTER.

    Putin knows this.

    Everyone knows this.

    Excuses? I am merely providing the proof of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, the proof in this case coming from the mouths of Russian soldiers refusing to be sent to fight in Donbas.

    You (the Americans) are very aggressive. I invite you to "The Metropolitan Opera", but you threaten me with missiles.

    By the way, is possible to release a TV show - "Russian Opera vs US missiles." (I could write a synopsis.)

    Again. You do not have to make excuses. I do not care. The investigation carried out. The court ruled. Or are you saying that you know more than the investigators? Do not try to look even more ridiculous.

    You can't do that, you will never get an American visa. Unless you are going to illegally cross the border with Mexico together with other illegal Mexican immigrants but that's dangerous, they can rape you according to Donald Trump.

    I heard you the first time, I am merely stating the fact that Russian soldiers refuse to be deployed in Ukraine. Whether you care or not is irrelevant.
