Russians must be really happy that TV Chanel funded by the government shows them only important news. Many of them cannot afford to go out to the nature on vacation, so Putin is happy to demonstrate them what it looks like.
In difference to the West, Russia has Free Medias, and not a bunch of corrupted lying presstitutes like here.
Can't imagine how much bullshιt is in this post. As for news - it basically is just PR advertising. "Look, he's still healthy as if he was not reaching pension age this year..!" It's just a traditional local custom, all heads of state in past century here do that. It's like US politicians and baseball. Why they do that? Because everybody does that. Everybody does that, so does he.
1) It's video for internet. 2) Nobody is interested in mumbled comments about size of a fish. They all sound same, they sound same in any country, in any age - "Oooo, that's a big one maaaaaan!". Literally.
Trump gets his picture take while playing sports as well. Maybe you lot are just jelly, since Trump is an out of shape fat ogre.
Hey, Russia's handing out free land in the Far East, and Pres. Putin wants to show them the pleasure of living there. Why not?
Because it's meant for a Russian audience. The only reason you're seeing it, is so the Russian's can have a good laugh over the MSM spins.
There was an awesome video game on Nintendo I think. A fishing game. Ready. Steady. Fish! Fish! Fish! Fish! .... it's a big one. Being Nintendo you can probably set it for any language. Arm wrestling bears naked, 20,000 leagues under the sea... I think everyone does not do that. Everyone takes a dump too. But no photos please.
Usually, when describing the state of the economy, states use external and internal debt, state debt, secured by the state and corporate. Do you want to talk about this? .... Let's look at, for example, the US economy. But in some cases this is not enough, these indicators do not reflect the whole picture. We need additional indicators. So, for starters official figures. Government debt is $ 19.9 trillion. For comparison, the official GDP of the United States (US GDP) for 2016 is 18.56 trillion dollars. That is, the ratio of national debt to GDP exceeded 107%. This is very much. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. The total municipal debt (Fed) according to the Fed (FED) is another 3.8 trillion dollars (20.5% of GDP). And, according to "Thomson Reuters" only for the week from 5 to 12 July, it grew by 172.5 million dollars. The household debt is 80% of GDP (which should be 14.85 trillion). The student loan debt exceeded $ 1.4 trillion. Here is a ridiculous schedule for the growth of consumer loans. Here is another, showing that an increasing proportion of Americans' income goes to servicing loans. Oh, I almost forgot! Also, debts on car loans, which also broke a historic record of 1.2 trillion dollars. Industry analysts, by the way, vie with each other, complain that cars are taken on credit as a breakdown, but the percentage of non-payments grows even faster. Less was mortgages loans (there tightened the rules on collateral), but more cars in debt. And we have not taken corporate debts yet, for which I have an interesting picture. Which hints that the next crisis is already close. By the way, guess, which American companies have increased their debts the most in the past few years? Correctly, energy, such as Chevron and Exxon Mobile - their debts have grown by more than 40 percent. Well, "Coca-Cola" and "Apple" (the ones where the price of the brand is the highest). Well, how should "defective owners / managers" Should try to drive oil companies and Yabloko into debt? Total, we have: - US public debt of 107% of GDP (approximately 61.600 dollars per capita); - municipal debt in 20.5% of GDP (for mass bankruptcies it is enough); - Household debt in 97% of GDP (approximately 55.700 dollars per capita); - corporate non-financial debts in 45% of GDP. So in reality - you are beggars. So it's funny to hear from you hints of Russian poverty. For your development - Russia has a trade surplus many years. In other words, Russia sells more than it consumes.
So you think the Russian oligarchs now running Russia is the same as the workers state of the soviet union? Interesting
RT isn't broadcast with in Russia, it's primary broadcast in countries where you have low information people who believe if it's on the internet ir must be true or if it's on CNN it must be true or if it's published by the WaPo or NYT it must be true. Democrats in America are the type of people that RT targets. They eat up fake news.
