Anonymous Coward User ID: 37257055 United Kingdom 02/24/2015 10:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Russia is doing quite well despite americas attempts to "isolate" Russia. If theres a country that will implode through its own machinations its america coz its sheeple are thick as shit. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37257055 Russia has saved Europe twice over the last 150 yrs or so. Russia had saved europe from the French guy Napoleon and WW2 was already won in the year of 1941 at Stalingrad by the Russians. NOt bad for a country who didnt have the firepower to match germany. So dont think Russia is going to fall anytime soon. As long as the peoples stomachs are full and they can heat their homes the Russians can ride America out but they will remember Drive 15 minutes outside of Moskov or SP or few other main hubs....... come back here and tell us hows Russia doing. better still why dont u watch the russian free webcams..... |

We have also, a very effective and generally good volunteer military, which, also Russia does as well, but again, ours is held by desire, theirs is held by fear/lies ...Sure, there are those in US GOV who want to destroy Cyrillic language altogether, and yeah, that's psychotic. But, that's how generational war is. Is leaves long traces in your DNA and soul, imo. If we Earthlings, gain some new paradise, it will be sheer numbers, demading it. And not through these politicians. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64737393 Its really okay, though, the USA did not survive its original form as a Federation, "The Articles of Confederation".. and the next form of federation ratified in 1789 also went to many different changes and forms to the present. THE USA< does it even have a self-sustaining economy? I Laugh my ass off on that one. It most certainly does not. There is no such thing as a "self sustaining economy" when it comes to countries. What a stupid comment. Russia doesn't have anything like that either....as evidenced by destruction of the Ruble value over the last few months. Get real. :pipe: Not so stupid I thought I would argue that when the currency was backed by gold as it is supposed to be it was self sustaining simply because everything was kept in check and balance by something real. I do however agree that there is no self sustaining economy currently in existence. Gold is irrelevant to an economy anywhere. You are confusing monetary issues with pure economic cycle issues. Currencies and economies do not have to be backed by gold if you were trying to create something self sustaining. You could use anything that holds perceived value to that country or people. It all depends upon what people have confidence in. And gold inspires more confidence than thin air. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25439360 But, also, their leaders have contempt for the masses. So, this front of startegy, seems so shallow and childish, I think it's actually sad, when you think about it. Some one decided that DU rounds and landmines and clusterbombs that look like soda-cans and such, were acceptable honorable munitions. And that someone, is a dickhead enemy of humanity. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68035433 Puerto Rico 02/24/2015 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “It is unlikely that the Russian Federation will survive in its current form,” the forecast’s chapter dedicated to Russia begins. The research maintains that Moscow’s “failure to transform energy revenues into self-sustaining economy” will eventually lead to a “repeat of the Soviet Union's experience in the 1980s and Russia's in the 1990s,” with the process accompanied by a demographic decline that is set to “really hit” Russia. Quoting: DanielPT However, the forecaster's founder and CEO, George Friedman, recently said that Russia has the ability to emerge from US-led sanctions and the recent drop in the ruble due to falling oil prices. "Russians' strength is that they can endure things that would break other nations," Friedman said, suggesting that the country "has military and political power that could begin to impinge on Europe." [link to rt.com] There was never such a thing as a collapse , it was more like a metamorphosis ! and it continues today ... Edgard Cayce predicted, True freedom will come from Russia is the west that is too decadent to survive in its current form without a serious transformation.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68349133 Ya I've been doing some research on Friedman (watched just about all his YouTube vids including his next 100 years audio book which is 9 hours long). He seems particularly blood thirsty and like to project Hubris. I don't know if this hubris comes from actual understanding and knowledge or is part of his confident American supremissist narrative spinning. Where's his "coming war with Japan" he wrote about 15 years ago? He see America from his gated community, from the cocktail parties in DC and from private jets. He knows the people are not happy about the shitty deal they're getting from "America's reluctant empire"...And he's totally ok with using imperial force to crush dissent. I sense that he models himself as a modern incarnation of "Joseph" in the bible. However I feel that revenge and anxiety over his lack of control over the planet motivates his world view....Pride comes before a fall George. |
