    What "Virus" of Tolerance? My state has 0.4% muslims and not a single mosque.

    I think our leaders do have a brain. Its just too complex for you to grasp. The Balkan got closed. Now the mediterranean gets closed. It happenes step by step. The goal is to keep a smiling face while you cut your enemies throat.

    We'll see what happens next. Merkel is like a weathervane. Her speeches for the feeble-minded electorate. But what will happen in reality - We'll see .... For example, Merkel voted to extend sanctions against Russia to the detriment of German companies. Is not it? What I, as a Russian, is very happy. Sanctions are only for the benefit of Russia. In fact, sanctions make protectionism for Russian goods and services. And I really like it.

    Is it? We sealed off Turkey and even gave them self shoting devices to hold syrians out. The ones who made it are put in cruel camps on remote islands like lesbos under conditions so harsh that they try swm back turkey.

    Meanwhile in the Med Libya is trained and supported and starts catching africans and brings them back. NGO are criminalized and put in a bad light.

    That way you can smile and watch as things progress. I know such subtile cruelity is unknown for a russkie like you.

    This is the American blogger's channel. (Ordinary American) He communicates with the Russians on the Internet and talks about his impressions .... (By the way, he asked Putin a question during the direct line of Putin (online)). ... Maybe you will be interested.

    Well, I assume I should clear the perception. Ariane V is not suitable for launch of human being, not calibrated and nor designed to be. It's an expensive - and yes, reliable with only four failures in over ninety launches - orbital cargo truck.

    Protons originally designed in 60th, Protons are flexible and modifiable, a multipurpose engine that is pretty much reliable works for decades and serves to transport there satellites, segments of a several massive space stations whom it successfully outlives one after another, and what is more importantly - humans. People's lives are relying on this technology - and this technology STILL DOES IT'S JOB BETTER THAN FOREIGN ALTERNATIVES.

    Oh, and we already have tested it's modern replacement that WE made. ^^
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angara_(rocket_family)

    So sure, try calling our tech "outdated" and "unreliable" while I sip tea and point that last launch we did was couple weeks ago and successful. We'll see next week how your COMBINED EUROPEAN SPACE ENGINE performs in comparsion to one made by soviet people and improved by RUSSIANS.


    As for nuclear power plants.. At least ours are working. And besides - yours built in mainly 80th - just like majority of ours that are operational today, and loaded with our own isotopes. But cheer up - you still have Mother Russia's gas and Donbass' coal to power remaining 63% of your power supply from non-renewable power plants.

    It is difficult to believe
    Your post is completely wrong:

    Translation from German

    Russia's sanctions: German economy has lost 17 billion euros
    German Business News Published: 21.11.16 12:49 h

    The EU sanctions against Russia have seriously damaged the German economy. Now the Eastern Committee hopes for a turnaround.
    German exports to Russia have almost halved since 2012, from 38 to almost 21 billion euros. This means a sales loss of 17 billion euros. The number of German companies with a presence there declined from around 6000 to 5500. The German economy fears that the sanctions will permanently lose market shares to the competition - for example, from China. It therefore insists on the progressive abolition of punitive measures.

    https://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachri...e-wirtschaft-hat-17-milliarden-euro-verloren/

    The Truth is that only carrier politicians of the United Socialist Party CDU-CSU-SPD-Greens-Lefts who know nothing and can nothing except lying and stupid state officials are for sanctions, but not German Industry and people.

    Unfortunately Germans are stupid enough not to vote mostly for AFD which can still change situation.

    Your 'refuges' will cost you at least 30 - 40 % of entirely German GDP in 5 - 7 years.
    After 2017 'elections' Merkel invites families of 'refuges' and Germany will have 10 - 15 millions illiterate welfare parasites more, who can produce only children.
    You need Russia simple to feed all your 'refuges' 95 % of them can be never deported back.
    Otherwise hungry 'refuges' will smash anything on their ways like in London, Paris etc.

    Here to counter your nonsense. Merkel already blocked families from syrians to come here. But i would rather have Syrians here than your ilk.

    Ariane is suitable for human transport. There is simply no module yet constructed for human space flight.

    Proton is not reliable and has dozens of failures. Its the main reason why all russian Mars missions failed. Your rockets dont make it out of earths gravity field. Also it is unable to carry heavy objects. All the big parts of the ISS were brought there from the Space Shuttle.

    I must laugh about your "soviet made engine". It was build and constructed by a German. The apprentice of Wernher von Braun.

    Your nuclear power plants are working? Bad for you. We live in 21st century. We dont want this crap in Germany.

    The issue was that Don...wrote that Russia is a powerful country but yet need money and technology, which made me state thet the contry without money and technology can not be called strong. Then he explained what he meant and that sounded already reasonable. Of course, Russia has traditionally advanced technologies and knowledge in space and nuclear research. But for example, biomedical engineering, chemical industry is very badly developed and not competitive to the West.
    As for cellular staff, in Russia it is much more expensive than in Europe. When I travel to the other region in Germany I do not have to pay any stupid rouming fees, while if you go from Moscow to Tula, you will be charged not only for outcoming calls, but also for incoming calls, which is rediculous. Of course, you can connect special services, but then again, they are not for free and you still have to pay for outcoming calls.

    Not as one would like. Greece, Portugal and Spain may easily sink the whole ship with the name EU. Besides, GB is quitting EU, which does not add a strength to it. You are too optimistic.

    The UK is finished and its incompetent leader May actually serves as great example for the rest. I agree this could have been bad for EU. But we see the UK in chaos right now with an absolute incompetent goverment that acts like a Monthy Python sketch. I believe BREXIT will stop because of this anyways.

    Well, as I pointed already - civil technologies vary between establishments - not just countruies. Space program, for example, has stronger ties with government, than the operators of mobile phone services. The high fees we have is consequence of few corporations having too much control over this market within country. Basically, we have oligopoly of MTS, Beeline and Megaphone. For telecommunications it is not good enough, too few competitors. But it's how business in that sphere worked - they did not emerged out of nowhere, they went through competition with less succesfull enterprises.

    I should tell you. There are no 100% reliable engines. This is first. Second, you can not compare the reliability of Ariane V and Protons, as ArianeV was launched far less times (about 5 times less) than Protons.
    As for nuclear power plants, I think you have an outdated information. Russia has very advanced nuclear technologies.
