Sorry for my outburst, but some members need to realize that I'm still a human and just because I share a slightly different view point - you don't need to treat me as hostile. Cool the frak down and communicate like you're for a western nation and not some raghead dirtbag that enjoys to cut heads off when people think differently.
So to you, Russia is still Soviet and still communist? Did you sleep in 90s and missed 'minor' change? Russia = Russian Federation = socialist / democratic (What-ever-else it is).
I was gonna let this go, because it looked like the conversation had moved past it. But, the veiled insults' in your post demand that I answer you with this; First of all, YOU have put at least one post, maybe more, that could have shut this whole thread down, and destroyed any discussion we had with it. IMHO, the Histrionics' have come from your side of the computer screen. Russian, I do know that you are by yourself in this. It's almost like Boroda got this whole thing going, and when you jumped in on his side to help argue your cause...he scampered, leaving you stone-cold alone. However, this discussion is most heated because it IS happening right now. Everyone's gone nationalist in less than a week. You should know something though...the way this has happened, with Russia advancing farther than any 'peacekeeping' force should have (If you remember in Gulf War I, after pushing Saddam out of Kuwait, Coalition forces that actually did cross into Iraq came right back out. The whole ground war was 100 hours, entry-to-exit.)
The Russian army is still in areas' that it is not supposed to be according to the treaty a week later. This, even your own news doesn't refute.
And secondly, as to the little barb about Russia is still Soviet, and Russians' are still communists? I believe the discussion was about the Katyn forest in 1939. That's more than a little bit pre-Glasnost.
