No, I'm willing to bet that you hate Russia far more than you do Turkey, especially with the recent addition of nations such as Lithuania and Poland which like to blame everything from Mozambique rejecting diplomatic overtures to rain in Vilnius on those evil Russians!!!1

What a whining loser.

Just curious, when did Teh Putin say that he's interested in an EU member status for Russia?

He didn't, but he didn't rule out the possibility to join EU sometime in the future. Also, about half of the Russians think they should join EU eventually, so it may very well happen some day

Russia should not be member of any club that would have them as a member

Despite "we" hate them so much?

[Combat Ingrid]

They're used to be hated, nothing new there.

So why is Tass complaining then

[Gangerolf]

The Russkies create their own clubs. Then they make others join.

I didn't know that the Poles and the Hungarians took part in eating up Chechoslovakia. Oh those innocent and p*ssy East Europeans!

That's actually incorrect. As far as I know the Poles got jack cheese while Czechoslovia didn't even exist at the time. Slovak nationalists set up a pro-Nazi facist state in Slovakia and signed an alliance with Germany. The Germans repayed the Slovaks by forcing the slovaks to give their eastern most provience to Hungary.

Just so the Romanias didn't feel left out the Germans made the Romanians give qa provence to Hungary as well. Strangely enough this caused the collapse of the allied leaning government in Romania and the coupe plotters immediately signed an alliance with Germany who had taken away part of Romania's territory not a week before.

At least, on an average, we are whiter than you are.

That's because you guys never go out into the sun light.

You are mistaken. According to the official EU doctrine these are Bushs fault, not Russias.

But you would agree that the issue does exist?

Yes I agree there is an issue. My assumption is that when you seek to understand the high-flyers and their motivations for having that or this opinion then neither ideology, culture, religion, domestic policy, foreign policy, habits, nor social acceptance is what counts. What counts is the money. Being anti-Russian is big business.

Therefore one has to make a concrete analysis of each network and publisher and examine their ties to the major corporations, and in turn their ties to the politicians. All earn on military aggressive policies. The networks earn ratings, the corporations earn contracts, and the politicians earn their existence. In other words: follow the money trail.

Because, what, Russia isn't European?

No!

Yes, and all we need in EU is a state such as Russia which likes to blame everything from Mozambique rejecting diplomatic overtures to rain in Vilnius on those evil Lithuanians and Poles

btw, liberating Moscow from Poles/Lithuanians is a national holiday in Russia. Ain't that cute.
But it's wrong!!!

There is absolutely nothing concrete and substantial in that article. It is inconcrete, speculative and sidestepping the issue.

yeah, but if anything that makes it even easier to agree with since it has less chance of conflicting with facts in such cases.
