The forum is good Alex, but
politically we're in shit up to our tallest basketball stars, especially considering that some of them are from
China. :)
Are you keeping up with the American...
No problem Alexey, its only been
a year, and I had a girlfriend who took that long to get ready for a date. Come to think of it, she was Russian!
:)
A lot of water has flowed under the...
Alex! Its been a long time
since we have spoken мой друг, вы
хорошие?
We have a new President now, what do you think of our future
political relations with Obama? Do you think he...
I think Putin has two eyes, one sharper than the other.
I think its apples and oranges. A
non-nuke defensive missile program in Europe, with full NATO support - in our current political climate - is much
different than Nikita K. trying to plant...
Hi Alex,
After finally getting
around to doing some more reading about Georgia, I have to agree with you. Saakashvili made a big mistake, and his
country paid a price. The Russian response...
I understand and partially agree. The only problem is with old borders
drawn arbitrarily, without respect to major cultural/religious populations, as in the former Yugoslavia and
Albania. ...
No problem Alexey, we're always
here. :) And I saw a shortcoming in my previous reply, but let's continue and I'll correct it.
There is a
thread about Good Movies Lately here, and you ...
Yes, I understand, but it is difficult to understand why a major ethnic
population within a region cannot have their political freedom when political boundaries have historically been
drawn...
Glad to hear that you are alive
and well Alexey!
Hmmm, Kosovo. It was a big problem for Clinton and NATO. We tried to help a Muslim population
and had no understanding of the complex...
Alexey, its been a long time
since we spoke, I hope you are still there among us, and doing well. :)
There is a lot of water which has flowed
under our bridges.
We have an election...
Well, McCain was the one who mentioned it. If he's
elected I'm not sure that he'll have a consensus. A lot could depend on Medvedev too. In the final analysis,
Russia has no place among...
I agree Alex. Russia should be
kept as a G8 partner. One would hope that pressure could be placed on Russia within that forum. These days, I have
less hope for that.
I suppose the...
Alexey, if you're still
there...
One of our presidential candidates stated that Russia should not be a part of the G8 (economic Group of
8) because of Russia's departure from Democracy. ...
Alexey, we miss your posts here.
I hope you are well. Мы надеемся
видеть вас снова
скоро друг.
Digress all you like, I enjoy
reading it. Makes me wish I lived in a place I was passionate about. Don't get me wrong, its a nice place, if
you're into surfing or sportfishing. I'm not...
I used to sign my posts with my name, Greg, but fell out of the habit. I thought of having Bruce
change my forum name but I guess its too late now. Anyway, call me Greg.
No worries Doc, I...
I like naive, to a point. Did you ever read or see "Being There"? The character Chance was
ultimately naive, and had a simplicity in his approach to life and people that was completely honest,...
No
problem Alexey. Would you care to tell us more about your activities? It would be interesting to hear about. I am
not KGB (can't remember the new name), so you can speak freely. ;)
Alexey, how did you find this
forum? Do you use pheromones? Are you here for the very enlightening political discourse? :) I'm just
curious.
Allow me a question. If you could move to...
Free is
never free. I don't want to pay the tax of a Frenchman. :)
I am a "medved". I only come out of the forest when there is
Good post.
Look at California. Lots of ballot referenda. They were even allowed to vote on
teaching Ebonics. :frustrate
As a result they've voted themselves into an energy crisis.
The Democratic
Party in the US is doing the same thing. Their central message is change from Bush. They do not talk in detail
about what they believe. They will not say "We want to take...
You don't have to be perfect to give advice or, indeed, to intervene.
Doc, great post. I printed it so I can read it at leisure and
develop thoughts.
As for this last section, I totally agree that we need to support and help countries develop
their *own*...
