Boroda, you know what is really interesting about that?
Poland, unlike your country, accepted responsibility for their country's part in creating this mess, and sent troops to help clean up the mess the world helped create. They offered public support for it too. Amazing isn't it? Poland has more guts, and takes more responsibility in the world than the former Soviet Union. Funny that a country that your country cruelly dominated for years is able to accept its responsibility (and the former Soviet Union probably had PLENTY to do with having Poland sell tanks to Saddam) and yet your country not only fails to accept its share of that responsibility but in fact continues to provide aid and comfort to the Saddam regime of Iraq.
Why don't you try to explain THAT to the world? Why don't you question what YOUR country has done to cause this problem, and indeed to prevent the resolution of the problem? Well, Boroda, the world is waiting. I'm sure Poland's economy is not going to be getting any help from their actions in Iraq. So don't whine about having to support Saddam for the sake of the Russian economy. The U.S. has spent $75 BILLION dollars, and budgeted that much more, so far, who knows what the U.K. has spent, not to mention Australia, Spain, Poland, Kuwait, and a host of other countries. Maybe if Russia will finally stand up and do the right thing, their economy won't collapse. Maybe all that will happen is that some of your corrupt dirtbag leftovers from the communist regime will just go broke. Why don't you and Russia do the right thing for once, and stun the rest of the world? You know, like tell the truth, take responsibility for your actions, things like that.
Oh, and by the way, why don't you tell everyone about the fact that Russia has a 5.45mm/.214" caliber military rifle (possibly easy to mistake for a 5.56mm/.223", especially by a doctor who likely isn't a ballistics expert)? They probably sent a few to Iraq too, since they developed it when they committed a war of aggression against Afghanistan. Or would you choke on the truth about that too?
