Russia has a long history of autocracy, like China and many other countries. Shortly before and after the Soviet era it looked like Russia might break from the past but both times it reverted to form. If that's what the Russian people want, so be it, It's their country, not mine.
Don't play fool, I wrote "every second thread OF YOURS". Well, it's not my words, it's the words of the notorious American, mind you, clairvoyant Edgar Cayce. Research it, since you're so "fond of" mother Russia.
Was that what Obama was doing when he handed Dmitry Medvedev a tube of KY and told him he'd be more flexible after the next election? One would think so - whatever Putin wanted his b*tch in the White House gave him - the Crimean Peninsula, missiles that violated the INF treaty, Bush's missile defense program in Eastern Europe, "red lines" in Syria...
Well now Dirty Donald is bailing out of the treaty entirely and as Putin just said, they'll have no alternative but to accelerate their missile development.
Check out Dmitry Utkin on wiki sometimes and that may put things in a nutshell for you. Or are you saying these Russki Mercs are just some lowly latrine diggers that barely hold the rank of a Corporal, or some office workers that spend weekends shooting paintball? I don't avoid reality....I live in it. Do you?
Look Zoom - your claim that the mercs were somehow representative of the power of the Russian military was abject nonsense. Full Stop. Yet - you nattered that narrative over and over - every chance you got. You know it - and you know it is nonsense - this is trolling and that is the reality.
Just calling a spade a spade - if you don't like it and want to continue to live in blissful denial of reality - then don't respond to my posts.
