    KGB should invent new methods to smear those who do not like Putin.According to KGB only Jews, Americans, Freemasons, Aliens, CIA, everybody, but not KGB itself and not communists-capitalists are responsible for suffering of Russian people since 1917. It is laughable.

    - Not 16 trillion dollars in debt and growing.
    - Fighting wars and bombing sovereign countries and incredibly eager to start a new one in Syria.
    - Violently suppressing its very own revolution through the media and police brutality.
    - High unemployment.
    - Phenomenal foreign policy of destabilizing stable countries to instill puppet leaders.
    - Unconstitutional warrant less wiretapping.
    - Three years in office, not a single U.S. bank or senior financial executive has been convicted of any crime (Or even prosecuted), or assets confiscated.
    - Guantanamo bay is still open for business.
    - Unjust wars (Libya) with lack of regard to consequences, civil wars, tribal warfare, sectarian violence.
    - Sanctions against Iran.
    - Drone strike escalation in Pakistan and around the middle east.
    - Arming and allowing Saudi Arabia to arm terrorists in Syria in an attempt to destabilize.
    - Continuation of the drug war.
    - Unable to control or monitor America's currency (Federal reserve), bailing out foreign banks and corporations.

    I feel sorry for you. No wonder the world regards Americans as such dumb people. They are routinely lied through the media.

    Ostap, I told that Putin and his entourage are very cosmopolitan and pragmatic guys.:razz:

    Your political scientist Bzezhinsky said a good thing.
    “If 500 billion dollars that belong to the Russian elite is stored in American banks, then, please, make it clear first whose elite that is: yours or ours”. ©

    The fact is that Kremlin in its domestic propaganda, as many other regimes – North Korea, Iran Venezuela, etc, stakes on anti-Western, especially anti-American hysteria.
    As has been the custom since the Soviet times, ppl need to know - there are a lot of evil imperialists beyond the borders of the country and they want to destroy Russia.
    Therefore a philistine must become more loyal to the existing regime in the country. - Yes, there are a lot of problems in the country but without Putin-Medvedev the aggressive West will capture Russia, separate country into Bantustans and destroy Russian original, unique culture, values, lifestyle.
    Periodically, Kremlin makes the menacing statements , frighten aggressors from NATO and a philistine makes the right choice. :razz: http://www.copypast.ru/foto6/2002/fotoprikol_080.jpg
    (frankly speaking some western govts try to cash in on the “patriotic” sentiment of their ppl (f… their brains) as well:razz: >
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Russians_are_coming

    In fact Russia and the West have a good business relationship lately. (In my view it’s a right way for both sides). Russia buys foreign weapons, some foreign companies signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense to build an educational complex, Russian troops ‘re going to learn by NATO standards there ( in fact the Serdyukov ‘s reform aimed at it) etc.
    While internet warriors fight against “the new world order”, NATO and America in Ulyanovsk arose a certain “transport and logistic center”.:razz:
    According to US department of state>
    http://www.state.gov/p/eur/rls/fs/193096.htm
    We take note of the significant contribution to international security that has resulted from the arrangements between the United States and Russia – bilaterally and through NATO – to support ground and air transit into and out of Afghanistan. In accordance with these arrangements, over 2,200 flights, over 379,000 military personnel, and over 45,000 containers of cargo have been transported through Russia in support of operations in Afghanistan.

    In short while some ppl have masturbated at anti-western rhetoric many Russian top businessmen, politicians and officials integrated successfully in the West. :razz:

    Unfortunately there are a lot of other nations just as bad, if China's economy were to crash my country (Australia) would sink like a stone.
