God, I hate Russians

[Guynemer]

The top four threads in the OT have to do with ****ing Russia? I thought we were done with this **** back in 198****ing9. The Ruskies are irrelevent.

Gotta keep our eye on the ball, people. Remember, as the prophet RoboCon says, 9/11 changed everything.

Hmm, I can't find a proper English word for you. Retarded? Arrogant? Ignorant? The one with outdated knowledge and the one with complete lack of history knowledge? I really don't know. Sorry.
But happy new year anyway.

[SlowwHand]

Arrogant probably fits the best of those you offered.

Well, I suppose I would find Russia more imposing as an enemy than I find the terrorists. Except you're not especially aggressive right now, and when you do fight your general strategy seems to be to sit there, let the enemy come to you and freeze thanks to your horrible, horrible climate.

[Serb]

You do realize that's bullsh!t, right?
We are not aggresive, when fighting occurs it takes place in Russia, but still we are a hell of a threat to the western world. Yeah, right. Why don't you stop bullsh!ting yourselves and admit for once that you treat us a threat only because of cultural, religious whatever differences we have? You just don't understand us. And everything what you don't understand scares you and you try to destroy it. That makes us a threat. So be fair for once and admit that you, westerners, are just a bunch of agressors and imperialists. That's how it's always was and nothing has changed now. It's nearly 20 years has passed since the fall of USSR and still we are threat, despite we are democracy with a free market. But who cares? They are Russians, right? So they are a threat. Damn, you are so unfair, and so wrong and so hypocrite. Hate you for that.

As I pointed out in another thread, don't blame me. This one was Guy's fault.

Hello, I see that you are discussing ways to bait Serb. Try making fun of Stalin, Serb has a hard-on for him. 9/11 changed everything except for Stalinophilia.

Huh? Well, first of all, I was saying that, if you were in fact aggressive, I would consider you a much more serious threat than a bunch of unwashed, bearded loonies in Afghanistan. It was only an insult in the sense of damning with faint praise; very few countries, little ones such as Luxembourg, would be less dangerous than terrorists if they armed for war.

In response to your rant, I don't have any significant religious difference with Russia, being Orthodox myself. I oppose the overly cozy relationship the Russian church has with the state, but that's not a big deal to me as it's on the other side of the world--also, I can't expect American-style separation in other countries. Culturally, I approve of the egg-rich breads but disapprove of the part where you put jelly and crap like that in your tea. That's unnatural. Also the excessive drinking is a no-no, but you're at least trying to address the problem so kudos on that. Don't know much about non-food aspects of your culture, except that Dostoevsky is a little long-winded for my tastes.

As for democracy and a free market, well, that's been covered before by better-informed posters than myself, but I seem to recall that Putin's critics have a way of disappearing, and companies owned by foreigners tend to get seized by the state. Also the majority of people in power are former members of Soviet spy agencies or their family members, something like that. No doubt there's an innocuous reason for all of it, but that perception is the main reason why you make us nervous. Also you have a bunch of leftover nukes and an army with serious discipline and corruption problems, which is a bad combination.

I've got nothing against Russia. I sure wouldn't want to live there, but I don't consider you guys a threat and think too many Americans like to provoke you.

[SlowwHand]

Iowa people are a lot like Russians. Nebraskans, too.

This must be national troll Serb day.
