Rpeter...Longway....

It is not certainly worth jeopardizing a Continent's energy supplies for some other country's failed Military adventurism.

A named and illustrated person of official rank speaks. Is it relevant what he says in this interview, not immediately but over time it does become so.

If he becomes known for lying his words will be dismissed. If he speaks the known truth, again either known now or substantiated in the future, people will trust the person.

Something many countries leaders/government officers/media continuously fail to deliver but for some reason do not bear the consequences. It must be the "Pay to Play" virus.

Russian DM Shoigu blasts double standards, urges joint effort in fighting terrorism





"One thing is absolutely unacceptable on the anti-terrorist front – this is the use of double or sometimes triple standards. The same terrorists cannot be terrorists on Monday and become moderate opposition on Tuesday. Undoubtedly, we need all sane forces to consolidate in order to fight this evil of the 21st century,” Sergey Shoigu said in an address to the Russia-India intergovernmental commission on military and technical cooperation. Shoigu took part in the commission’s session as part of his visit to New Delhi."

Contrast to any report from one of many unnamed crusader coalition spokesperson. Misspeaking, lies, unable to be named as it is above their position........

Transparent government, something the crusader coalition governments trumpet they do and suggest others copy. Of the UNSC permanent members, who follows Russian and Chines practices, none.

One suspects the answer and it seems to be a method adopted and suggested to those not already using it, is to have democratic elections.

If we are to use this yardstick the "Non Terrorist Population" as you call them, have shown their wishes twice, they choose the Assad Administration.

When will you accept their wishes harry?

I hate to break it to you, but Assad isn't really popular with 88.7% of Syrians.

I think he needs to pack her up. Maybe his popularity will rise like Erdogan

Russia is seriously running out of cash

Russia is bleeding cash at an alarming rate.
After almost two years in recession, the country's rainy day fund has shrunk to just $32.2 billion this month, according to the Russian Finance Ministry. It was $91.7 billion in September 2014, just before oil prices started to collapse.
And it's getting worse. Analysts expect the fund will shrink to just $15 billion by the end of this year and dry up completely soon after that.
"At the current rate, the fund would be depleted in mid-2017, perhaps a few months later," Ondrej Schneider, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, wrote in a note this week.
The government's reserve fund is designed to cover shortfalls in the national budget at times of low oil and gas revenues.
Russia's 2016 budget is based on the assumption the country would be able to sell its oil for $50 per barrel.
But the average oil price in the first eight months of the year was less than $43 per barrel. Oil now makes up just 37% of all government revenues, compared to roughly 50% just two years ago.
The government will reveal next year's budget after a parliamentary election this weekend.

This slump means the government is having to tap the rainy day fund again and again. The government indicated that once the reserves are depleted, it may have to turn to its welfare fund. Kremlin says the welfare fund has over $70 billion in it. The fund is not intended to cover budget shortfalls, but rather to finance future pensions and large-scale investment projects.
putin russia reserves
Schneider said the assets in the fund are less liquid, so it might even be technically impossible for the government to withdraw from it aggressively.
Russia's central bank cut interest rates on Friday, to 10% from 10.50%, in a further attempt to kick start the economy.
The central bank still has $395 billion in international reserves, down from $524 billion in October 2013. The bank burned through more than $140 billion in foreign currency reserves between 2014 and 2015, trying to defend the ruble from collapsing.
The strategy didn't work and the bank slowly abandoned it. The ruble dropped to the lowest ever in January, when it was trading at 82 rubles per U.S. dollar. It is now trading at 65 rubles per dollar.
Related: Russians are getting angry about the economy
The slump in oil prices has hit Russia at the time it was already suffering because of economic sanctions imposed by Western countries over its role in the crisis in Ukraine.
They've cut off Russia's most important companies from European financing, banned imports of certain products and froze funds of key officials.
Russia retaliated by imposing import restrictions on European food products. That caused a headache to European farmers, but also pushed Russian inflation to double digit levels.

Russia is seriously running out of cash - Sep. 16, 2016

Yes, but Russians consistently blame the west, and that is a sentiment that runs deep and wide, and has done for centuries, never mind decades... it's a siege state with a wartime leader... it is consistently underestimated by a warmongering, aggressively expansionistic and hypocritical left that has had a grip on the west since the official end of the cold war. The west needs to snap the fvck out of it, and team up with Russia to face down the bigger threats of China, Islamofascism, and African internecine conflict. It is a foolish waste of energy to attack Russia, it's just makes China's project of spreading its tentacles around the world that much easier.

Ah it's the Whites helmets and the man in Leicester. Unfortunately, as opposed to other more transparent sources of facts, these two have some history of fabrication.

Great misreporting harry, again.

Are you mocking the candidate selection procedure, the amount of money spent by the candidates during their election canvassing efforts, the election process/administration, the vote counting process/administration or the legal arguments arrived at by the countries legal system?

Do you have examples where you do accept, fair and legitimate, elections have taken place?

More hearsay of documented proof?

Are you suggesting the international election supervisors, for both elections, were corrupt?

CNN the publisher of all that the Ameristani government agencies will supply them.

Here is the same comment I left at this subject, posted in September, on another thread here harry

Japan is OK, at 229%, as it's generally owed to it's own citizens.

but

Russia is in trouble, at 17.7% owed to the global market.
China is in trouble, at 49.9, as i's debt generally owed to it's own citizens.

Care to give guidance on your reasoning?

Why worry?
Vote for Trump.....(they are best friends)

Obama/HRC lemmings regurgitate that info on command.

Doesn't trust people on the ground who are actually counting schoolkids' bodies.

Trusts Pravda otherwise known as RT who will have you believe they killed some nasty ISIS people, as Putin orders his news station to say.

Anyway, this thread is getting very old. A more cogent question is- "how dangerous is Hillary Clinton?"

Our source, who is in Leicester or the propaganda crowd who fabricate "evidence". Are these at the site of the alleged bombing, were they when it happened? Have you seen any shots of the roof which allegedly sustained the bombs?

The videos are available harry, unfortunately no bomb damage or shots of the bombs going in are available. A slip up along the way harry, get your guys more prepared, give them more money........

No to them all. Evidence harry, not hearsay or fabrication. But be number one with the pre-written press release and you win, what a strategy to convince the sheeple.

You're such a pathetic little Putin arse kisser Ohoh.

At least 22 children and six adults have died after Russian or regime air strikes hit a school complex in Syria’s rebel-held Idlib province, in what is thought to be one of the worst attacks on children in the five-and-a-half-long conflict.

Activists and the local civil defence service in Idlib - which neighbours the divided city of Aleppo - sent pictures too graphic for publication of dead children of around seven to ten years of age with bloodied faces and limbs torn off from the force of explosions after six strikes on the village of Hass on Wednesday.

Tiny bodies wrapped in grey blankets were laid out in the village mosque, some with their colourful school bags and books next to them.



Video posted by activists online showed smoke rising from buildings in Hass and rescuers carrying casualties away down a dust-covered road on which several other buildings have been destroyed. While the images and footage cannot be independently verified, they are consistent with monitor and agency reports.

Unicef said that 27 people died in the attacks, while the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 35.

“This is a tragedy. It is an outrage. And if deliberate, it is a war crime,” Unicef director Anthony Lake said in a statement, adding that the incident - in which the school was hit repeatedly - was probably the deadliest to hit a school in the entire of Syria’s bloody civil war.

BEIRUT -- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Thursday for an immediate investigation of an attack on a school in Syria’s Idlib province that the U.N.’s children’s agency is calling one of the deadliest of its kind in the country’s six-year war.

UNICEF raised its toll for Wednesday’s attack to 28 dead, among them 22 children and six teachers.

Ban said in a statement that the attack, carried out against rebel-held territory, may amount to a war crime if found to be deliberate.

“If such horrific acts persist despite global outrage, it is largely because their authors, whether in corridors of power or in insurgent redoubts, do not fear justice. They must be proved wrong,” he said.

Witnesses said overhead jets targeted the school in the town of Hass as many as 10 times, around midday Wednesday. Opposition activists blamed the strikes on Russian and government planes.

I presume this is the ridiculous piece of propaganda you are touting in an attempt to deny this attack took place?

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said a Russian drone flew over the school building on Thursday and found its roof intact and no bomb craters around it.

Russian warplanes didn’t fly over the area the previous day, Konashenkov said.
