negah 26 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) They also did in Finland, UK, and others. We posted the links here. It's a Russian strategy to know about the countries defenses. But they have been doing that for a lot of years. Seems everyone is doing this: http://news.sky.com/story/1312623/us-plane-flies-into-sweden-to-avoid-russians However the increase in russian flights may be a "show of force" act. West has democracy but it didn't stop them from sprincling us with depleted uranium and cluster mine bombs. Democracy is just another tool of keeping people in control, just like any religion, ideology, common enemy or "rally 'round the flag" effect. We might have more freedoms as long as it fits our rulers, and we might sometimes cause something by demonstrations or whatever. But as soon as a lot of money or interests of some big boss are at stake, the will of the common folk is quickly forgotten.

I wish my country had a leader as potent as him, to taim the criminal lords and restore order. So what if you can't publicly denounce him, and why would you even want to, if your standard of living is better than what it used to be. I need freedom and democracy, not Putin's dictatorship, so do Ukrainians. What you're looking after is middelageous slavic nationalism pride, which will lead only to one thing : war. ---------- Post added at 10:49 ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 ---------- Other Slavs are not free, they act out the will of western powers.I lived in a truly lawless and "free" country in the 90's Lawless and free are opposite words, democracy is the enforcement of law, contrary to Putin's world where nobody gives a shit of law, Putin first.

Democracy doesn't work. Of 12 years we had democracy nothing good happened. The only thing democracy brought is division amongst ourselves, weakening of the government due to political infighting, and freedom for tycoons to freely steal from the state. It is not nationalism, it is desperation. The only thing that had ever worked to unite and strengthen the country was dictatorship, and not just any. People need an iron fist to rule. If the leader is weak lawlessness soon comes. That is from experience. If you think you know better, then stop thinking at all, because you don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is true. Also in Finland, an other countries. Here the right-wing nationalist party got 19% of the votes last elections. Democracy doesn't work. Of 12 years we had democracy nothing good happened. That is not true. Democracy works, and really well ( in fact is the best system in the actual times ), the problem is when democracy is only applied partially, and also takes time to reach a full development ( dozens of years ). In fact dictatorship = corruption. Edited August 8, 2014 by MistyRonin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who is the biggest robber of Russian's wealth ? BTW, i'm old enough to have travelled in Russia in the 80's (with my father), where i saw how wonderful communism was, how empty were the shops for common people while the shops for aparatshicks were full of Western goods, etc. Edited August 8, 2014 by ProfTournesol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i can express a very personal and debatable opinion, i think our lebensraum (US/UE) is measured in $ or €, while pan-slavic lebensraum is measured by territory. This is the only really difference. Both approaches are aggressive and dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to know the truth because you lived through it an have some random smartass teaching you about it from some Wikipedia (The FREE Encyclopedia) article. We weren't bombed because of freedom, we were bombed because the US wanted to brake Russian influence on the Balkan, and to establish a military base in our own land, but we wouldn't let them do so peacefully. ---------- Post added at 09:16 ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 ---------- The US is not corrupt?

In fact camp Bondsteel is under populated, they only have 1500 US National Guards ( not the US Army ), and it was mainly a guarantee so Serbia wouldn't invade Kosovo. But it has no strategic value ( no airport, no helicopter pads, no hangars, no port, nor rail facilities, neither proper storage ) of weapons and costs hundreds of millions to the american taxpayers so probably in the close future is gonna be closed.

vilas 477 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) if immigrants were not committing serious number of crimes (in some areas, they are told to commit majority of crimes) , if immigrants were nor abusing social care system (i have to BUY flat and take credit in bank, loan for 30 years, but if someone is immigrant, state gives him flat for FREE although he doesn't pay taxes, this is NOT RIGHT), if imigrants were not bringing their culture war (fighting with our culture) , if they were not serious labour-price dumping , you would have no nationalism, i bet in next election they will get 40% , because you are blind and see no problems , i read about for example rape rates, that in some western european cities , 90% of rapes are comited by small group of immigrants, in other regions 70% of thefts and robberies were commited by small group of imigrants etc. etc. etc. when someone was robbed by imigrants, and those imigrants get free flat from the state and get 50% of his salary from social care - you expect him to vote for lefties ? hahaha :D few guys from Israel wrote about dangers in Eu, you don't want to listen to those dangers, there would be no nationalism , if immigrants had to work like natives, pay taxes like natives, had similar crime rate like natives, behave and assimilate like natives, do not wanted to ban culture of natives (do you remember issue with Christmass tree in Denmark ?) police in western countries are forbidden to make notes about ethnic roots of criminals, but i know from few policemen "on private chat" that in some western cities in some crimes 80-90% of cases are commited by non-natives, the simple question for you MR: - why the hell i have to BUY flat , take credit and loan in bank for 30 years, paying to bank 130%, while some guys who came to my country, get flat FOR FREE from the state, not pay for this flat at all ? is it just and right ? - why when i was in Italy (and we were almost robbed by group of Gypsies, and almost pickpocketed by Black Africans ) we were told not to defend cause if we fight back (like i fight back when on Polish street Polish robber attacks me) because in case if we fight back, we are accused of racism ? why i cannot hit Black robber, but i can hit White robber ? why ? if you tell this is okay, than maybe you gonna give me 100 000 euro, so i can buy 35 sqare meters flat in my city, cause in Warsaw 1 meter cost 2500 euro and people earn 500 euro, i do not see ANY reason, that some guys from Chechenya get such flats FREE, i do not see reason why some Gypsies (who do not work and commit crimes) get such flat free from the state, next election in my country , right wing gonna have 60%, because we will never accept , what people in Paris, Oslo, Kirkendall, Marsilie accept, we will never agree on people throwing stones at us shouting "Allah Akbar", we will never agree on the fact that we cannot hit back robber, because he is nonWhite, if people are equal, i can hit robber no matter if he is Black, White, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, if he tries to rob me, i should have right to self defence, people should be treated equal, if Christians want to set Chrismass tree on Chrisian land, no minority can tell them to ban it , like it happened on Kirkedal in Denmark, nationalism borns as self defense against incoming agression and competition ? if for someone Christmass tree is "offensive" or they attack people eating ham sandwich cause ham is "offensive" - there will be more and more nationalism till in EU we gonna have civil war because of "political correctness" http://www.therightperspective.org/2012/11/10/brussels-bans-offensive-christmas-tree-for-muslims/ if Christmas tree is offensive MR, why local Chrisitans cannot demand to destroy Mosque if they found it offensive too ? where is EQUALITY ? where is TOLERANCE to our Chrstmass tree ? look at such examples, there is more and more of it, tollerant must be BOTH sides, not just we, no-go zone, which police of Germany or police of France avoids, a lot of documents on Youtube you can find, about no-go zones created by imigrants who call "sharia" zones in some French or German cities you will have 60% for right wing in 2020, or maybe more if "tollerance" will be only on one side Sharia Patrol in London attacking couples cause girl kissed boy ? --------------------- MR this transparency report you shown is biased, my country is very corrupted, it should be marked RED as Russia or Ukraine, i cannot imagine how someone dared to compare Poland to USA in corruption index, Poland is among most corrupted European countries, ---- and right wing gona win in EU, because we have wrong law , criminals should be treated like in Muslim states (one thing they are better than our culutre, is attitude to criminals) , not that criminals rob, kill , rape people and get funny short sentences in hotel-rooms with tv, internet and gym, almost like holiday but not PUNISHMENT Edited August 8, 2014 by vilas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it was not only the US but NATO ( and yeah I know some people are unable to distinguish them, but it's quite different ). And although the war crimes "helped", the main reason the NATO bombed Serbia was to stop the war. As I said the European countries were not willing to have a war in their borders with all the problems that this caused ( and still causes, did you know that in Spain the worst robberies and murders are committed by ex yugoslavian soldiers ).
