    Go on. Will wait for the day. Second World Europe coming Third world and Euro Russia United, what a great laugh on CNN and Bloomberg, can't wait! Then a nanotech/electronic gate in English Channel separating europe and up north separating Northern Europe from your sinking continent. Don't despair, food packages will be dropped to you

    You claim that the offensive capability of Russia is weak and inneffective compared to that of China, UK and US..

    So how can Putin be dangerous, if his forces are so weak..?

    I made it perfectly clear Putin is dangerous, but not a superpower.

    He does not have capability to launch conventional war in Europe, since NATO=US and UK would kill him. And as I said I can respect him (as in, respect your great enemy), while disrespecting him politically but seeing how he the handles terrorists and local enemies of Russia, that's the way to do it. If I had to trust Putin or EU Commission for my life, I'd go with Putin.

    And did you have anything intelligent to contribute? Please don't make me call you thick bloke.

    No, Putin and Russia is a great power, so he is dangerous if he chooses to be, not a global power anymore though. I wish he bombed anti-isis though, would do him great of good.

    Entry to the EEU is open to all, and no secret agreements to sign. Take a look at it equal partners. Take a look at who runs the EU and their "democratic" standards.

    Look at Russia territory on a map. Nope they have enough land thank you

    Look at Russian reserves of wealth. Abundant natural resources, Food, Water, Oil and Gas, Industrial Capacity, Democratic Government, well educated population, the ability to sign contracts with multi national companies and not renege on them .........

    A democratic country presently Presided over by the LORD. Compare his performance during his tenure against others.

    Syria will add to that?

    The LORD accuses the POTUSE of being "unconstructive and apparently shows a lack of will to negotiate".

    https://www.rt.com/news/318727-putin...ssia-dialogue/

    Putin: I don't get how US can criticize Russian op in Syria if it refuses dialogue





    "Washington’s decision to obstruct Russia’s call for diplomatic engagement on Syria is unconstructive and apparently shows a lack of will to negotiate, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

    “I don’t really understand how our American partners can criticize Russia’s counterterrorism effort in Syria while refusing direct dialogue on the all-important issue of political settlement,” Putin explained.

    Putin was commenting on the refusal by the Obama administration to receive a Russian delegation headed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to discuss the differences the two nations have on the Syrian crisis. The US said it would not talk unless Russia followed Washington’s lead and stopped helping the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad.

    "I believe this position to be unconstructive. The weakness of this position is apparently based on a lack of agenda. It seems they have nothing to discuss,” Putin said at a meeting with the Kazakhstan president in Astana.

    He added that by obstructing Russia’s invitation to negotiate the US undermines itself, as it voices criticism of Russia’s actions in Syria, but doesn’t seek ways to resolve its concerns."

    The US wants everyone to do as they say, bow to their "superiority". Thank fuck Putin is showing an alternative.

    we can only hope that the US will get humiliated again in the Syria conflict with Russia coming out victorious.

    The US policies in the last few decades have been beyond repairable, and it seems that only the Chinese and Russians are going to be viable alternatives for the world police.

    The EU is all fucked up at the moment, above all with the treacherous British in it.

    The issues he raised in the UN address regarding the insidious cultural, economic and political hegemony of the US are the same faced my many countries around the globe and I'm sure leaders and oppositions alike will wholeheartedly applaud his opinion.

    It also marks a certain despair at the US, that an integral member of the UN should use that platform to make public what can no longer be accomplished through internal dialogue. And I really don't see it as politicking, Putin may garner favor from being so outspoken, but that's because his view matches the opinion of a vast proportion of the worlds inhabitants.

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Why would the US (or anyone else) sit down and give genocidal dictator Assad a free pass?

    You're all being very silly.

    All Russia has to do is TELL Assad to fuck off to Teheran and ask ALL Syrians (not just the Alawites) to participate in forming a new government.

    I'm fairly certain that both the Alawites and Syrian moderates would agree that fighting IS is a good thing, and they'd be better at it working together.

    Nothing will get solved with Assad still in power. Putin knows that, so he knows he can throw these stupid offers out there and pretend he has the Syrian peoples' best interests at heart.

    You're pretty dense if you believe otherwise.

    It's not about Assad and you know it, if it was a straightforward internal uprising as in the beginning then being so shortsighted could be justified... But the issue here that leads Putin to be involved is the US/Israel/Saudi axis hijacking the rebellion by enabling death squads to enter Syria, to further erode stability in the region and advance the hegemony of the western military industrial complex.

    You're all being very silly.

    I don't recall the Al Saud family shooting, shelling and bombing to death tens of thousands of their subjects.

    And I would most probably know about it.

    Try again.

    Of course it's about Assad.

    He's Russia's friend and sends them billions of dollars every year.

    You don't think Putin is there for humanitarian reasons do you?

    If so, you're sillier than I thought.

    And that's saying something.

    what about secret prison tortures ? you probably know all about them too

    the Saudis rulers are brutal dictators, no need to bomb your population during a crisis to be one.

    Are you really supporting that double standard ?

    Incidentally the current SA dynasty come from Jewish descendents, which makes it very interesting in terms of delusion and deceive in this region
