    I have said no such thing, you are clearly trying to be hostile and twist my words.

    You said they were fighting for a good cause, not me. Can you please explain what you meant, then?

    Regarding the right sector. Regardless of it's political views, it tryed to enforce some kind of law and order, while the government goals are basically mafia.

    I hate nazis as much as the next guy, but order is somethong that I highly value.

    So, you're essentially saying you can put up with Nazis as long as they establish order.

    I have no more questions for you, thanks.

    do you belive rich people from banks or corporations ? they mostly lie because they are f* greed for money ,

    remind Exon Waldes and similar accidents, remind spoiling natural environment, remind all colonializing privatizations etc. remind cheap labor accidents in some Asian factories, remind breaking labor right (or you do not know labor right issues in my country in foreign supermarkets ?

    in one of supermarket women sitting on selling point were told to wear pampers to shit in pampers and not waste time to go to WC, people were suing this company, loosing cases in court and later one of our politician was ... advertising this supermarket ),

    breaking labor rights in Sierra Leone reminds me too , some big mining corportations (coal mines, gold mines)

    I believe that a rating agency or a bank who gets paid for prognoses are very accurate in them. I know because I work in one. Of course there are scandals with manipulations, but those manipulations are like "putting 14.2% instead of 14.1%", not "20% instead of 80%". Which, for our means, is sufficient.

    P.S. and I'm a rich person by Russian standards - top 5% quantile of earnings last time I checked, and I work in a big western bank. Does that make me "f* greed for money"?

    why ?

    cause i trust Wikipedia

    because bank told something ?

    i do not belive banks, i do not belive Bilderberg Group members, i do not belive big corporations too

    Well, all I can say is good luck in that.

    Well, I guess not only Russia has biased government media.

    And this wiki article is precisely the reason why sometimes you should not trust Wikipedia.

    The***Ukrainian Thieves***are a group of thieves that quickly appeared on the economic and political scene of***Ukraine

    It has "hate propaganda" spelled on it

    i know Russia is more rich than Ukraine, but stats say that 19% of wealth in Russia is owned by oligarchs, but i know stats saying that 80% of all property is owned by sevaral families of oligarchs of Ukraine,

    so in Putin's Russia it is 19% vs 80% in Ukraine ;) maybe 10% is Putin himself

    level of inequality in Ukraine is probably bigger than in Russia but Russia has better social care (compare child birth support, you have even few times bigger than in my country)

    lots of adonmakers/players i know from Russian community have their own car , earn like 500 Euro

    i know Ukrainian players which dreamt about internet camera for 20 USD and new boots (playing Arma i met such people)

    poverty in Ukraine is bigger than in Russian european part , living standards (PC, car, flat, furniture, hi fi, boots, clothes, availability of food and medical treatment) is better in Russia anyway , also confirmed by my family from Belarus (ex Polish territory)

    i do not belive those stats, why ?

    Poland is too clean, we are not that good in corruption, we are much worse ;)

    Ukraine has no place in those stats (current political situation )?

    question - do i read false stats, or those are biased,

    cause i read that 80% of property industry in Ukraine belongs to dozens of oligarchs families

    Sorry, but I believe Credit Suisse more than word of mouth.

    Objective data says inequality situation in Russia is much much worse than in Ukraine. I do understand you might have read that somewhere, but after all, it's internet - you may find "proofs" that Earth is flat here

    Oh, but there was an offer to support it before the coup. After the coup, there was a danger of NATO bases and installations in Ukraine, so Russia is creating a buffer zone.

    I see Russian actions as a measure against expanding NATO.

    Besides, by moving towards EU Ukraine will only lose its independence, and become a debt slave, like Greece and Serbia with "investors" taking all the capital away.

    What you say are motives, not justification. Whatever are the goals - what justifies annexing part of another country?

  14. Posted · Edited by DarkWanderer

    No dude, not like this.

    Provide me your impressions, because you claim it and therefore you have to find it.

    Most what I post are newspaper releases, thats all.

    And when it comes to critique on Russia, all was said in my previous post why I sometimes decide to post critical articles the other way around. But you dont read it.

    You give me the impression that you want that people follow a certain view, almost like someone is political active in a party.

    Sorry, but you wont find this in discussion and yes Iam critical overall about western/US geopolitical actions.

    If you have a different opinion than others, thats alright but than keep it objective if you really want to have a discussion...

    I am sorry, but you have to provide some stronger arguments than those empty accusations if you want to have a discussion. Shall we start again?

    On a related note, DNR/LNR claim to have started unilaterally withdrawing armor from the frontline. It's interesting whether there's a link to the renewed MH17 interest - as this seems to be the only related event which happened recently

  15. Posted · Edited by DarkWanderer

    Let's get back to the beginning once again. Who supported (if not directly organized) the coup which caused the Ukrainian conflict? Who was the first to push propaganda? Why did Russia feel the need to step in?

    A conflict like this doesn't just happen and drag on.

    Indeed, let's get back to basics.

    How does a coup (even if it was orchestrated by someone else) warrant annexing territories from that country?

    If Russia wanted to support Ukraine, perhaps it should have supported it, not starting to take it apart? Any government changes are this state internal affairs.

  16. Posted · Edited by DarkWanderer

    How about the whole 800+ pages of this thread and what people inclusive me did post already ....

    My assumptions about the MH17 incident goes into a different direction than the article - probably an accident and highly likely done by ukrainian seperatists, but Iam open for other views.

    You are just prejudice claiming that I steer every conversation about Russia and accuse only the west which I do not do. Furthermore others posting considerable critics on Russia already and the other side of the coin want to be seen aswell.

    But of course the west is aswell a part of the reasons why it did lead to such a conflict and since we are living in it with its values its especially important to know what we are actually doing, this includes criticism. Sorry if you dont see that or if you have a different opinion...alright, but you missed something.

    You see, reading those 800 pages gives exactly opposite impression. Whatever you claim, your messages strongly support pro-Kremlin point of view. Find me one post where you explicitly critique Russian actions, please?

    Also, saying "West is part of reasons of war" is like saying "provocative clothes are part of reasons I raped this woman". Not an excuse at all.

    Do you even follow international affairs? If you do, you know that lying is a big part of politics. You can find it in every single country, any time, all the time. So your critique should not be towards Russia, but towards all of mankind. Do you think a superpower stays a superpower, by abiding conventions, and telling the truth? In '99 the US and its NATO puppets seeded us with cluster mines and depleted uranium, where's the correctness in that?

    I do follow international affairs, and I find that "everyone does that" (whether it's true or false) is not an excuse. If you're aspiring to be a superpower, don't behave yourself like a "gopnik" on the street. Those guys actually have same apologetics - "you can't make so much money without robbing", "you are same shit like me", "everyone steals" etc.. And what's worse, those guys may attack you, but if you hit back, they go to police and tell a story how you attacked them.

    And when that mindset is displayed by the top officials of the government, one knows his country is in deep shit. I am honestly ashamed to be a Russian citizen after watching how our representatives behave on world scene.

    P.S. the thread is not about Russia, it's about Ukraine.

    Russian actions around the conflict Ukraine are a pretty big part of the picture

    Every shotdown they made with IGLAs, on altitudes no more than 500-700 metres, mostly around airports during landings and take offs. Ukraininan pilots were no good, I mean not the pilots themselves but the planning of their missions was made by fat shit-for-brains ukrainian generals who didn't know shit about war. The result is that beautiful wiki-table.

    Do you have any sources for that? That wiki page and Ukrainian military claim rebels had shot down several aircraft with SAMs other than MANPADS. Also rebels themselves claimed possession of heavier SAMs - although they stopped doing so after the incident.

    P.S.Already I can see that some kills were made using Zu-23, so you're wrong about "every"

  18. Posted

    Yes, obviously. Every situation in the world, if it concernes russians, is always different. All others have everyhting the same. Every other insurgent / terrorist / guerrillas do not have fighter jets and are not supposed to have complex anti-aircraft systems. But, obviously, these are not usual insurgent / terrorist / guerrillas, no! These are not only pro-russian but also russian insurgent / terrorist / guerrillas. So despite not having fighter jets they just pulled complex anti-aircraft systems out of their asses and shot down some malaysian airplane because they're THAT bad. Oh, and that "complex anti-aircraft system" - it is too not so usual, it is magical in fact. Right after that it has vanished into thin fucking air and nobody has ever seen it or use again. And every ukrainian jet and helicopter that doesn't fly lower than 3 km never gets shot down ever since, happily bringing donbass people severed limbs and blown up houses. Obviously.

    There is a slight problem with your claims. Rebels have reported many G2A kills, and Ukrainian military has confirmed it. So, obviously they did have some sort of AA - better than MANPADS

    ...really ?

    Are you an expert that you know all of them are 0 facts, not even the reference to newspaper releases ?

    I don't need to be an expert to see that something is being pushed as objective truth without actually being backed. For example, in this specific article, there are only a couple of links to something outside that site, and none do in any way prove the article's alleged point. All other info is coming from some mysterious sources.

    I also don't need to be an expert to see how you steer every conversation showing Russia in negative light into discussion of some kind of marginally coherent accusations of West. How about we actually discuss Russia? For example:

    - How it lied about troops in Crimea

    - How it blocks the MH17 tribunal formation

    - How it forges the satellite photos http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/11233420/Russian-pictures-of-MH17-being-shot-by-Ukrainian-jet-fake.html

    - How there are 3 different versions on MH17, all "proved" by Ministry of Defence, First Channel, etc.

    Let's actually discuss Russia, shall we?

  20. Posted

    well, than pick the facts from the text and not his assumptions which I critisize aswell.

    Did you even read the article or just some sentences ?

    Sure I did and picked out the facts - all 0 of them.

    Here are all his proofs:

    "A source briefed by U.S. intelligence analysts told me that the reason for the intelligence community’s silence is that more definitive analysis pointed to a rogue Ukrainian operation implicating one of the pro-regime oligarchs."

    Laughable.

  21. Posted

    There is no proof for this....

    But a critical news report got released by Richard Perry; Consortiumnews:

    The main critical point is the lack of intelligence informations by the US - there is silence. And this is really a strong point.

    Wheras he overacts a bit for my taste with the Tonkin case, since there is in both ways not sure evidence yet about the MH17 case.

    MH-17 Mystery: A New Tonkin Gulf Case?

    Yet, the U.S. mainstream media remains stunningly disinterested in the “dog-not-barking†question of why the U.S. intelligence community has been so quiet about its MH-17 analysis since it released a sketchy report relying mostly on “social media†on July 22, 2014, just five days after the shoot-down.

    A source briefed by U.S. intelligence analysts told me that the reason for the intelligence community’s silence is that more definitive analysis pointed to a rogue Ukrainian operation implicating one of the pro-regime oligarchs.

    The source said that if this U.S. analysis were to see the light of day, the Ukrainian “narrative†that has supplied the international pressure on Russia would collapse. In other words, the Obama administration is giving a higher priority to keeping Putin on the defensive than to bringing the MH-17 killers to justice.

    Two days later, on July 22, the Director of National Intelligence authorized the release of a brief report essentially repeating Kerry’s allegations. The DNI’s report also cited “social media†as implicating the ethnic Russian rebels, but the report stopped short of claiming that the Russians gave the rebels the sophisticated Buk (or SA-11) surface-to-air missile that the report indicated was used to bring down the plane.

    In both cases, analysts in the U.S. intelligence community were less certain and even reached contrary conclusions once more evidence was available.

    https://consortiumnews.com/2015/07/17/mh-17-mystery-a-new-tonkin-gulf-case/

    With that logic, since GRU is silent on that matter, it 100% points to Putin's (ex-?)wife involvement. Typical conspiracy theory BS.

    And no, there's no silence - all of the agencies have already said their word.

    Just to give different view: Our community with around 80 player regular sessions wishes for the modular package because we use PWS and would hope to save some modpack space by not having to add all the terrains. Due to using PWS we have no problem with having large modlines as it does not affect the end user.

    EDIT: Reworded my post after having read yours again.

    Just out of interest: is (potentially) saving 1-2Gb of space really worth the hassle of adding 3-10 mods to collection instead of just one?

    Well, windirstat seems to be a good way to track down big files. But big files is not the issue in the first place.

    The issue is that my hard drive space increase when I am doing absolutely nothing. I may spend a whole day studying, writing in word, and then the disc space may increase 6+gig.

    Since I created this topic, another 2 gig have been lost - and I have not saved anything except two word documents.

    Maybe it has something to do with windows restore points? Because I have lost almost 40 gig the last two weeks by doing nothing. And I have stopped to use Advanced Systemcare because it only makes more space be wasted.

    I'd suggest you try windorstat again, but this time drilling down into *folders* size, not file size. As was said, it is a really really good tool for that.

    Oh really? So who lies?

    You.

    Indeed, it has. And I'd remind you that there was referendum. And Chinese workers have right too. Other thing is why should they do this.

    The whole separatism issue is fully connected to political situation. Kosovo (suits US interests) - okay. Chechnya (suits US interests) - okay. Northern Cyprus (done by NATO member Turkey) - nobody cares. Abhasia, Transnistria, Karabakh (either pro-Russian or want to join pro-Russian country) - wrong. When it is suitable - nations have the right for independence. When not - countries' borders must be respected blah blah blah. Just look at Kurds, the most bright example. Those of them who live in Iraq - got help from Europe and US during Saddam's reign. Those who live in Turkey - nobody cares about opression of them by Turkish state. One nation. Iraqi case - condemnation of struggle with separatism. Turkish case - either indifference or help with struggling separatism.

    Now - proofs for every statement, please.

    *cough*Kosovo independence recognition made even without any local referendum*cough*

    Lying yet again - there was a referendum

    But was there one or not, there's no "prior art" in separatism. And a referendum alone does not mean much - if it is not backed by proper legal background.

    By your logic, again, Chechnya has right to declare independence now - if there is a referendum held. Also in same conditions are Ural territories which are rented by China - where there are tens of thousands Chinese workers. So would you say they can make a referendum and declare themselves independent too?
