    You are telling us what you would do - and the likes - not his style. (Knowing within minute, who did it and shout it loud?)

    Who's got a brain will see by himself, without telling him what is right, what is wrong. (I've always been wondering why at comedian's show the pre-recorded auditory's laugh has to be mixed in...)

Putin politely brought it up with George Bush in his first term, that the Chechen leadership was hiding out in London and collaborating with the CIA. Bush had no answer for him. Because the CIA under the Berzynski doctrine, wanted to do the same with Russia as they did with Yugoslavia. Bust it up into these weak blood states.

    I believe most Americans and even half of the naive polity want to be a fair country. And they could be. Its the fucking CIA and their supporters who think they have to be playing this empire game like the British did. But no. They have these stupid crazy grand visions for the world and crazy ideas.

    I could post links proving that the Berzynski doctrine and the Albright doctrine exist. But you wont read them. I didn't read them when i was on your side. You will figure it out yourself.

    The only thing that needs figuring out is that you're another Putin arselicker and you haven't got a fucking clue.

    Russia didn't "give away its empire" it went bankrupt trying to keep up with the US.

    Putin spent most of his first term organizing the grafts with his fellow (now oligarch) bandits, and he put Medvedev in there as a little puppy for one mandatory term so that he could keep power and resume the robbing when he took back over.

    If you never figured that out, you're as dumb as fucking rock like the rest of the snivelling Putin sycophants.

    You're either an OhOh multinic or one of our previous whackjobs trying to be smart and failing dismally.

    and in the meantime, within 30 years, brought his country from near bankruptcy (due to the open friendship of his predecessors with - please no names her) to a superpower level on a par with other superpowers... (struggling to keep on)

    Quite an achievement when they are now the only party for transporting astronauts to the ISS station - 50 years after they walked on Moon...


    With no alternative, NASA spent nearly $4 BILLION to fly astronauts aboard Russian Soyuz to ISS & 'overpaid' Boeing for no reason
    15 Nov, 2019

    US space explorers have added up exactly how much money has gone to buy ‘seats’ on Soyuz vehicles, as its partners SpaceX and “overpaid” Boeing failed to meet the deadlines on NASA’s manned spaceflight programs.

    Over the past two decades, NASA spent $3.9 billion transporting 70 astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS) on Soyuz spacecraft, the agency revealed in its audit report, published on Thursday.

    The US also previously used the Space Shuttle to deliver crews to the ISS but the program was terminated in 2011, after two of the orbiters exploded mid-flight, killing a total of 14 people. The Russian-made Soyuz vehicles have since remained the only means of transportation for NASA.

    The agency, meanwhile, remains determined to switch to conducting its own manned flights without the help of Moscow sometime in the future. However, the promising projects in partnership with Boeing and Elon Musk’s SpaceX proved to be “several years behind its planned operational date,” NASA said.

    “Both contractors have a variety of technical and safety issues to address before they are cleared to provide crew transportation to the ISS,” the agency’s Office of Inspector General wrote, arguing that NASA had actually “overpaid” Boeing $287 million to prepare manned missions to the ISS.

    The US corporation received this hefty sum for “additional flexibilities” to speed up the manufacturing of its Starliner crew vehicle as NASA hoped to avoid an 18-month gap in flights to the space station. Now, however, the agency’s inspector general has called such expenses “unreasonable.”

    The official said that NASA could have saved as much as $144 million instead by making “simple changes” to the Starliner’s launch schedule, and by buying more seats on board Russian space ships.

    Boeing and SpaceX have received a combined total of almost $7 billion from the US space agency since 2014 in a bid to end its reliance on Russia’s spacecraft. However, there has been little success as both firms have encountered testing mishaps that have greatly set back their progress.
