Well this is a decent article...the point of which many commenters seem to miss...ie gauging the public mood in Russia with regard to US hostility and now threats of imminent military action... I would agree...observing from a distance...that the Russian public surely must have had it up to he...

Well thought list of the signs of decay in American society, though you left out the most dangerous display of obesity on the American scene and that is none other than the phenomenal bulge in the Federal Reserve assets along with the explosion of government, corporate and personal debts that are...

Russia should think very seriously, to engage Israel or US? If Russia take out a few Israel airfields as show of its determination to counterstrike, USM will withdraw, Israel Nethanyahoo call up Putin to protest angrily but get more fcuk, case closed, since no soldiers will commit suicide by o...

Why should Assad keep killing the Syrians when he can outsource the job to US, NATO and Israel? Assad dont need outsource that job, he can simply do nothing to get outperform by the world largest killing machines, USNato of Israel, Inc. Twodees is very upset that you have understated his mi...

You don't want a war. Once a war starts, it's a wild thing that is completely out of control and will lead to unexpected consequences. Unfortunately, the people rattling their sabers think that, no matter what, they won't be the ones hurt. A cursory reading of History - something that evident...

China & Russia are always working as a team in UNSC, but they have mutual protocol. Very well behave, rationale and respectful, unlike West hysteria liars work like a peck of clowns losing all credibility in the world. China just do a very unusual thing by sending its new Defense Minister ...

Yeah, a double veto is no more effective than a single. The Chinese and Russian UN teams coordinate their voting at the UNSC, so there's nothing to be read into it. Now if China had voted with the US....

Imminent disintegration no, ultimate yes. Western societal and moral collapse is certainly upon us. It's enough to look at some basic US stats: - 30 million Americans are currently on antidepressants and consume 80 % of the world prescription painkillers' output. - 1/3 of American adults are ob...

China always abstains. Doesn't mean anything, neither for nor against.

Talking head "experts" are dime a dozen everywhere, can be found in any barroom. All they ever talk about is how their or other countries have to act tough as though one were talking about some schoolyard scraps. Policy isn't necessarily formulated by emotion. Is Syria worth it for the various p...

conduct A nikki halley investigation and find saudi arabia responsible for false flag, bomb their refineries and wells to smitherens, oil goes up and helps russian economy

Well....admit, I have a bad feeling about this. Really bad. I try to rationalize that with my age and being a product of Cold War, so, I must be wrong. Still....... I truly believe that we, humans, can't handle the war technology we've developed. We are, essentially, the same people wh...

I enjoy reading your comments. I find them typically to be on point. On what's going to happen next, though. Let me tell you, given the way hysteria has been ramped up in the European media in the last few days (particularly in England and France where "chemical attack" articles have been appe...

What about the imminent disintegration of the west's economic system the Kremlin has promised since the early 70s?

Nobody knows what's going to happen. Things feel a bit surreal. My take: US with allies will do something. Russia will allow that. Say, a cruise missile strike on something, like last time. What happens next is interesting. Like last time, all dies down till , again, something similar. ...

" At least, the Bush family had the calm and presence of mind to reject the Jewish neocons." Really? When did that happen? W kissed neocon ass and did what they told him to do for the entire 8 years he was in office and his retarded father kept telling anyone who would listen that the neoc...

. . . bring the world right up to the point were a full-scale US-Russian war was imminent . . . Reminds me of the old Monty Python joke "Stampeding off to the clitoris . . . ." Russia might want to consider asymmetric response like cutting under sea cables "with drones" knocking out a few...

"Government experts not only have better info, they also know that the lives of millions of people depend on their decisions, which is not the case for the so-called “experts" Pure crap. Government experts don't have skin in the game. They are insulated from the consequences of their action...

Nothing to do with Jews. Russia is too conventionally weak and too skewed to battlefield nukes for America to even think about getting into direct fighting over a meaningless country like Syria. Russia isn’t going to start something with the West either. Flatheads: "but I'm Russia and I want...

Ah the predictable Svigor still living in a dreamworld where Russia doesn’t exist. Oh boy do you need to wake the **** up. Hi, flathead. Reality: GDP, high to low: South Korea ... Russia

Breaking news... China just abstained from UNSC vote on US resolution on Syria chemical attack... Russia vetoed the resolution and was joined in the nay vote by Bolivia... So much for Flaker's thesis about China stepping up...

I am not at all sure why is this reply addressed to me.

Nothing to do with Jews. Russia is too conventionally weak and too skewed to battlefield nukes for America to even think about getting into direct fighting over a meaningless country like Syria. Russia isn't going to start something with the West either. Internal Russian politics are what this...

Spot on, Sir!

Putin can fold slowly like Saddam did or he can strike back the way NK has over last few months only this time with million times worst outcome for NATO Israel and US. Can Russia survive if the attacks on Syria go unpunished ? Russia should start its own red line . It shall outright disagr...
