    I do not whine, I beat on stupidity!

    It may be everything, but where is the evidence and proof please?

    So far, only claims, allegations, half-truths, suspicions and dubious conclusions against Russia as accuse.
    But, as I said, that is one side of the truth that makes the West looking ridiculous ...
    the other side of the truth is that the basic principle of the legal system is turned upside down when Russia is required to prove its innocence.

    But OK, maybe we'll change our whole legal system back to the level of Dark Ages where you can always accuse somebody for having done something evil and the person has to prove his innocence then... instead of you have to prove the guilt of the accused.

    Hey, the US secretly used poison gas against the rebels in Syria and it was not Assad, but to make a False Flag action to damage Assad and Russia and the US owns the poison gas in tons! Wicked USA, so prove your innocence within a week!

    Well said, Mandy - I guess the suckers will realise they've been hoodwinked one day? And they're really gonna feel stupid when they do?? 'Say something often enough and the gullibles will believe it.'? :rolleyes:

    Thank you Cerb :)

    We 2 have sometimes same opinion about things, sometimes not, but we stay gently in discussion... mostly :-D

    The Problem is that those politicians who created the mess, are later not able to be charged for. Think about Tony Blair in your country as example of the past and what mess he has done is no current kicking us in the butt. But where is Tony and can we charge him for it? ;-)

    Would you believe - he still pops up now and again. I don't know how he's got the bloody nerve; if ever there was a man who earned the right to disappear into well-deserved obscurity, that man was Blair - oh, not forgetting Cameron too. I don't know why we're stupid enough to keep on voting these cretins into office.

    Amazing! I did not know that in the UK you have such a big problem with political zombies ... so "a la Walking Death TV Series"! :cynic:

    OK ... that one or the other deselected local politicians or even former ministers is recycled again via EU Commision or EU Parliament is known ... But deselected prime ministers / chancellors / presidents actually go swattering into any board of management of a corporation after their election slap they got and earn a golden nose as a lobbiest there!
    You British are sometimes very strange I must say ... :-D

    The influential nations of the EU are the ones who created the atmosphere for acceptance of the UK briefing paper and the lesser nations simply followed suit. These are the members of the "Small American Group On Syria - US, UK, France and now Germany as well as Saudi and Jordan.

    the agreeing EU nations form part of the group of nations that were outed in a recent leaked British Diplomatic Telegram by a Swiss based Syrialeaks (HERE).

    Yeah yeah...you tough guys beat on stupidity....everyone is scared shitless by you commanding presence!
    Only thing is that your sack of Russian apologies have absolutely no effect on anyone. You can take your dishonest claims about the US did this or Russia didn't do that and stick it you know where!

    According to the elections- around 76% in Russia. As for the other countries- it does not matter if they like him or not. I would say that he is doing something wrong for the country if he was liked outside of Russia.

    I would not be surprized if FIFA forbidds to participate all the countries that boycott the World Cup in the next world cup as these are the rules of FIFA. They have already issued a warning to the UK about it.

    I don't.

    Both Cerberus and I come from a country where Football is the biggest sport.
    But it's ****ing boring. Sorry.

    Football (soccer) can be boring if the teams don't play well and that sometimes happens, but at least it's relatively quick, two 45 minute halves and maybe a few extra minutes added on if the referee had to stop play for some injury or other delay. American Football and baseball take all day, the games run several hours, if you've got lousy teams with uninspired play it must be dreadful.

    I think this fundamental difference explains why soccer hasn't caught on in the US. Both American Football and Baseball allow for constant interruption of play and these breaks are used to broadcast advertising, soccer rarely is interrupted so there is little broadcast advertising opportunity, thus not much money is invested in soccer. If the US could arrange for constant soccer interruptions for advertising, this sport would take off there too.

    I’m not watching any sports, but every time I brought up my opinion of sports being boring to watch I was just told that you don’t really watch - you just get drunk and hangout. Sport is more like a background noise in the US.

    During a recent medical check-up, the doctors found that I was in perfect mental health....nothing 'crazy' at all. They said that exposing criminal organizations like the Russian regime is quite normal, and that it is admirable to point that out to others!

    And how about you think about your own criminal government and its crimes of the last few years and decades ... before you curse others for having done the same as what your People did?
    Or do you actually live in this pink dream world, that the US is doing always just fine and good in the world, keeping the rules and if not, then the US as a world power has the right to do so? If so, then better visit your doctor again!

    I hate to see sports events canceled due to politics, especially the World Cup.

    But if the British team has been threatened, we don't need another PLO situation at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

    I don't understand why anyone wants to watch soccer. The most boring game on the planet.
