Jonathan Turley, a liberal law professor at George Washington University, warned yesterday that President Obama’s increasing use of executive power has placed the nation at a “constitutional tipping point.” |

First, the military weakness of Europe has long meant that for all practical purposes, NATO is ATO — the American Treaty Organization. The European Union may have a gross domestic product and population larger than the United States, but on average its members spend far less than half of what America budgets for defense. |

As far as I can tell from Snopes, Wikipedia, Forbes and a slew of other sites, Obama has not used as many executive orders as many previous presidents. |

from an outsiders point of view Congress and the Senate both seem like they can't accomplish anything. I figured Obama would of used more of his executive powers in this situation. Anyways, this is a thread on Russia. |

Georgia might have initiated things militarily but Russia encouraged the rebels who openly resisted governance by Tbilisi. Donetsk and Luhansk are basically a repeat of South Ossetia without Russian intervention. |

Was the brutal subjugation of American Indians taught to you in school? We conquered Crimea in XVIII century - Osman Empire refused their rights on Crimea after loss in 1774 year war. The remaining Tatars were allowed to leave in Crimea. So? Why do you bring up the plight of the American Indians? I asked you a serious question, I wasn't being sarcastic. But yes, they teach the history of how early Americans destroyed the Indian way of life, it's not hidden or distorted. And there are some Americans who probably could care less about what happened (the grunts, as you would call them), but most sensible people recognize that it was an atrocity. |
Quote: |
I'm wondering if your history books talk about the more recent treatment of Tartars by the communists. I read and heard so many comments that made it seem like some Russians regarded Crimea as "always" a part of Russia, which is nonsense. |
Quote: |
And I actually think the annexation of Crimea by Russia is a good thing. The majority of people there are Russian now, so it seems fit for it to be a part of Russia. And, the big plus for the Ukraine is the ~2million less voters who normally vote for the Party of Regions and the communists. |

Come on Dima, it's a fact that Russia is supplying arms to the rebels. And, why wouldn't Russia arm them? It makes sense for them to support ethnic Russians. |

No, it doesn’t say Russia has 20 % less corruption. Where can you see that? |

http://www.transparency.org/cpi2010/results According to the Transparence International Corruption Perceptions Index Russia went from place 154 (out of 178) in 2010 to place 127 (out of 175) in 2013. |

But the question is… As Putin came to power in 1999, now its 15 years later… The country he rules over is ranked at 35 from the bottom, or 48 at the bottom as thee worst corrupt countries in the world… |

And you think Putin is doing fine after 15 years in power? |

Is that all it takes to make Russians happy? |

sorry to disappoint you but there was Jeltsin and Gorbachev Russia 22 years ago . so whom to blame?
And here we have the usual blame game of the Russian media/politicians. If the car doesn’t start in the morning, the average Russian say “its that dammed Jeltsins fault”.. And now if more than half of Africans countries move ahead Russia in the desirable indexes Russians collectively say, “its that dammed …. fault.”. Remember, not to hold kaputin accountable, he’s only been in power for 15 years… We heard it a million times, “Its all Jeltsin’s fault and/or Gorbatjev’s fault.” Is that really so, is it true or is it just a myth, or is the truth some ware in-between? |

sorry to disappoint you but there was Eltsin and Gorbachev Russia 22 years ago Wink. so whom to blame? |
Quote: |
I have a theory, that Jeltsin did both good and bad. Lets see.. As we have debated before, childbirth and that translates to child mortality.. Its rather important indicators as they are not only tragic but also affect the life expectancy. They show how well the health care in a country works, as well as how the state manage to take care of the less fortunate giving everyone a “equal” start in life...
I attach a image of child mortality, and marks the Jeltsin and kaputin era on it.. WHO data. Now, how about that? |

And then you point me to this book, to educate me:
mate, the problem was not in war we had but in lost connections in ex-republics..I suggest you to read this book to understand the USSR economics and industry - http://www.amazon.com/Collapse-Empire-Lessons-Modern-Russia/dp/0815731140 And when I reading the book, I fined that the author startes the book with qoutes of Dugin, see the first attachment named Dugin.gif. |

Dima mate, I just cant help it, but it feels just a tiny little bit like you have not read the book at all.
Because the book contradicts most you argued here. I also found this: (qouts are in the images attached) 1. The author believes that Gorbatjev and the commy should have done what Jeltsin did, liberal economy.. 2. The author thinks Russian is playing a blame game, tin foils en masse.. (green aria) 3. (In the first part of yellow, he talks about Jeltsin era) Jeltsin created an economic system that was chock resistant, imperfekt but yet... Then, came the worrying signes... Putin started to reverse things… 4. The free media was destroyed in the early 2000. (blue) 5. He also suggests that the “autonomy” of the regions is just a chasm. 6. The author argues that Russia is lagging behind 50 years, compared with the developed world. . (red) Attached a image with the qouts.. |
