ORIGINAL: tweakabelle Odd that no one has mentioned that Putin's Russia is a corrupt gangster friendly State run by a person who is said to have amassed a personal fortune in excess of $50 billion last time I checked (which was several years ago). They also claim he murdered journalists. Question is, are there any solid proof to these allegation, since the mainstream has been villianising him and only report negative news on him. If ya saw the Western Press during our Founder time of leading the beginnings of Singapore, they painted him like an evil Hitler oppressor too. Only after all the results were achieved in such a short time, they start writing more positive things about him. While USians forget all kinds of important shit, they seem to remember the Soviet days. Keep in mind though that they were always allies. The cold war was a ruse to get people to support the military buildup. During those days Russian workers said "They pretend to pay us so we pretend to work". They had a horrible reject rate. The US on the other hand was paying $600 for a toilet seat. Now the US has Chinese manufacturers doing some of the work which saves money, and the Russian workers are happy and they like Putin. They like Putin more than we like Obama, I can guarantee you that. They got jobs now and a real economy, unlike the Soviet days when you heard stories about them not being able to get a pair of stockings or whatever. China is changing as well. As the People get more and more they are going to want more and more. They don't need guns, just the solidarity to strike. You think they aren't trained ? They who work are running and programming CNC machines and printed circuit board making equipment. You cannot just go out in the field with a net and trap a few people and put them on those jobs. And in the meantime the US goes backwards. Eventually there will be no jobs. You got self checkouts which I REFUSE to use, there are totally automated fast food places, though they are still in prototype. Even if we had factory jobs, one can do the work of ten, what happens to the other nine ? Actually, though Putin has done well for Russia, and no he is not a dictator, and he had help from the natural resources. He is loaded so he can't be bought and is loyal to the country, plus he is incredibly smart compared to most politicians. But he is not personally responsible or Russia's success. Alright, he did run things right and is not letting the oil companies rip the country off, but it's not like he came up with some ingenious plan that turned it all around overnight. The Soviets were a bunch of thieves and he was one of them. The rest of them stole alot more than he did. I think he is at the point in his life where he wants to die liked by the People. And let's not even go there right now. Venezuela literally fell apart after Chavez died. Called a dictator and "everything but a White Man" so to speak, the People liked him and he did good for the country. Did he like money and power ? Does Putin ? Well I want someone to come in here with the rank idiocy to say that the rulers of their country do not like power and money. I need a good laugh. Even Uruguay, which I think is rated one of the freest countries in the world, I bet you can't say that. You know, you don't need a fishing license in Russia. Once you qualify with a firearm and get a hunting license it is good for life. A firearm ? Heaven forbid ! People ha e alot of misconceptions about other countries. Like that half of Iranian houses don't have running water. Bullmotherfuckingshit. And that the sanctions hurt them greatly, bullshit, China started buying their oil with gold. Bypassed the petrobuck completely. Good. I say to the asshole US government - if you want to attack a country, attack and let the world know how much of a fucking bully you are. Then they will unite against this government. Possibly finance a revolt, maybe even participate. You know, I have said we do not have the best weapons in the world but we have more. That matters, to have more. But then we have this other fact, those weapons are not all here. They are spread from Germany to bumfukt Egypt somewhere, and places that many people have never even heard of. Russia has ten outside military bases, after closing four of them recently. Well they kinda lost the one in Ukraine but I think that was only a RADAR station or something like that. But the point is they do not spend a half a fucking trillion dollars defending a hundred countries while not defending their own. The US does. And congress gives the military over twice the number of planes they want or could ever use, which will be given away to other countries. Shit, when the Israelis get ahold of a working F-35 they are going to say "Oh, we could have fixed this is a half an hour" when it took us how long ? Know why ? Because their fucking educational system works. Hopefully they'll share their information, they have in the past sometimes. But not what they did to MIGs, we don't have any MIGs except for to examine them for weaknesses. We are not buying them for use. T^T
