Meaning you would not involve yourself in a conflict that "they" were not already pushing for? That sounds great, but how is it that you have the pulse of your government, sigma? Do you really believe that the leaders of Russia are so much like you? In America that's a mistake that a lot of people make, and it is something people in positions of power take advantage of to deceive the general public about their true intentions (works the same way in business P.R.).
I have no reason to love the United States. Let the United States will give at least one reason for my sympathy for him. But they do not want.
And by the way, I express my opinion is not based on the opinion of the Russian government, but on the basis of my opinions about the actions of the United States.
I think the United States is presently complicit in financial and social maneuverings on the world stage which bring them into conflict with Russia because Russia will not go along with it. That's every reason for Russia not to like the United States, IMO. The people of the United States have been suckered and taken advantage of, and the culprits have had the blessing of our elected representatives, which we stupidly put in office after they sing us a sweet song, since our grasp of reality and the weight of our situation is so shallow and weak.

Having said all of that, the U.S. has nothing to do with my statement you quoted--I was speaking about your government. It just seems incredible to me that you could be certain of the intentions of your government. Governments are complicated things, run by people with a different outlook than your average person. It is my experience, here in my country, that because of this it really doesn't pay to listen to the official narrative, but instead it is wiser to tune it out and come to your conclusions about the truth of the matter(s) based on their actions.

Not sure how you guys got onto Russia/USA stuff, but, spare a few thoughts for Alan Henning today. Cynics could call him naive or misguided, but his intentions were purely altruistic. A good bloke was killed yesterday.

Do not you think that these cynical murder just play to give the grounds and justification for the United States for the use of weapons in another country?

Does ISIS seem to be getting more desperate lately? They have already demonstrated they kill hostages, so what are they expecting in response? Do they think that somehow this fairly significant coalition will stop bombing them and hunting them down if they just murder the right hostage? A lot of politicians were talking about how dangerous and organized ISIS is, but to me it looks like they are barely held together at all. Like any other large organized extremist religious group or government in the area, they crumble under the slightest pressure. Perhaps that is why the place is such a hot bed in the first place, the entire culture of the region gives up too easily, which allows groups like ISIS to form and build up a huge movement in the first place but also makes them fall apart the instant the tide turns against them.

You know, instead of calling the US the global police, I think at this stage is is more accurate to call us the global fire department. Would that make "Bush" one of the more ironic names for a US president ever?

Krom, If you have not noticed, I'll help you. There is a big, huge, total difference between the concept of democracy inside and outside the United States. If you still do not know. Outside the United States the American democracy is more like fascism.

And Americans are too blinded by their inflated sense of self importance and arrogance to see what others in the world may think of them. sigma may be reading what his government wants him to see, but I'm betting he can think for himself and form his own opinions.....and jokes. :wink:

That's OK sigma. Things get lost in translation, so maybe I need to learn a little Russian and broaden my horizons. I do own a little Russian dictionary for some reason. I can't remember why I bought it in college. It's still sitting on my bookshelf. Come to think of it, both my husband and I still have most of our college textbooks sitting around on shelves, so I'd hate to have to move right now. The weight of the books alone would cost a fortune in moving charges. :lol:

Clear. I think my idea is just to walk with you through the meadows or to ride horses and read you a poem, has no future. Looks like you're used to driving a sports car with the guys from the university and you are used to smile their soldiers' humor. All right. You are just a typical American.

It's supposed to represent the evil laugh sigma. :twisted2:

From the game Portal 2. Wheatley's evil laugh, the last one is Russian. Sounds the same in all the other languages too. Laughing, even evil laughing, is the same all over.



But here's the best American one I could find. Can't get one with the "BWAA" sound on the front though, but close.

ISIS using chemical weapons on Kurds,

Disturbing new photos of ethnic Kurds killed by Islamic State fighters are stoking fears the terrorist army may be using chemical weapons seized from Saddam Hussein’s old arsenals, according to a Middle East watchdog
Looks like ISIS upped the ante with those Chemical weapons that Saddam never had.

Wanna bet they got most of that stuff from Assad's giant arsenal? Plus, if it came from Saddam, why didn't WE destroy it since we had over 10 years of prowling around Iraq to ferret out all of his supposed stashes? You'd have thought that Bush/Cheney would have wanted ironclad proof of WMD's to vindicate their invasion at the very least.

now, watch the Canadians respond by invading a non-involved nation, or going on a racist rampage, targeting Sikhs and the like.
Or, maybe they will curl up in little scared balls on the floor, speculating about nukes, anthrax or sleeper cells in every small town.
I make these predictions based on how the US public reacted over the years. Actually, I suspect the Canadians are made of far sterner stuff.

Be sure not to miss an opportunity to make an anti American remark, now.

You want to see intolerance of Muslims, you need to look towards Europe, Muslims are tolerated here far more than over there, even after 911.

I suspect that, at the very least, Europeans know which of their dark-skinned, head-covered and bearded neighbors are Muslim, as opposed to some of the dimwits over here who embarassed all of us by their violent reactions.

So let me reason out what you just said…

Europeans are better at making sure their victims of violent attacks are actually Muslim.

Yes well…considering the long history Europe has dealing with Muslims, I would say that might be a safe bet.
