This more or less explains Serb and Ellestar.

So what.
Bush talked to God.

Or listen to the theocratic approach of oerdin and the like. Complete supernatural authoritarians. the former and present cold era warriors. the ****s who supported dictatorships the world over.

at least if they were like pchang who wants to "buy countries" , their self interest would actually provide a logical explanation.

Meanwhile latvia, under EU reform is WORSE than russia on everyday living.

I'm an atheist, but I don't dismiss religion's role in shaping morals. On a net basis Christianity has been a positive, especially if you weigh recent centuries heavier.

No.

I was reading an analysis of the implications to national security were greece to leave the eurozone and/or the EU.
It focused on NATO and its very limited capability in anything other than containing Russia.
So the vast expenses of Greece to the military are an effect of NATO's limited ability to live up to its commitments.

I still think that Lithuania's future is in pumping its military avoidance deterrent by itslef.
Else you might find germany and its little buddy the US carving up baltic territory again so that the gas pipe passes smoothly over european soil



just saying

(although seriously, there is no threat whatsoever as things are now)

[Ellestar]

Oh and let's not forget the peace and prosperity brought about by the illegal occupation of Eastern Europe for half a decade after the war, the millions of forced relocations, the torture, the gulags, the mass executions.

You think we've forgotten?

By the way, isn't it funny that the Paragon of Democracy, USA, has the biggest number of people in gulags (sorry, prisons) right now. USA is the undisputable world leader in the number of prisoners both in absolute terms and as a percent of imprisoned population.

Of course, "democratic" USA also owns the most known unlawful inprisonment and torture brand of our time - Guantanamo.

Naturally, USA also started the most wars on a planet since the end of WW2, killing millions, both directly and in indirect losses as a results of war and destroyed economy.

So, we don't even need to "remember" anything, USA is the most inhumane regime on a planet right now, fully supported by "western democracies" anyway, of course.

Uh, how am I theocratic? I am probably one of the least religious people you will find. Nor am I authoritarian in my outlook.

No really,

[self biased]

It's weird for me to watch Paitkis swing around his huge '**** the USA' boner, but still appear to take great pains to disagree with ellestar.

[dannubis]

He is a greek communist. What do you want ?

[self biased]

He is a greek communist. What do you want ?

For them to argue more?

[PLATO]

It's weird for me to watch Paitkis swing around his huge '**** the USA' boner, but still appear to take great pains to disagree with ellestar.

Because even a European Communist recognizes the problem with Russian aggression?

It is funny that someone thinks life is better in Russia than in Latvia as Latvia is considering building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants coming from... Wait for it... Russia.

[Proteus_MST]

They surely must be dropouts who are tired of their wealthy life in russia and want to return back to a much simpler life in Latvia

[rah]

Maybe we can talk Mexico into funding a wall on the south border of the US to keep US citizens from illegally immigrating to Mexico.
