It's time to screw Russia over
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle4543744.ece
I'm starting a new thread because the mindless "your president sucks!" and "No! YOUR president sucks" comments on the War thread are tiring and distract from the real issue.
I hate the US. The US is a bully and pushes little countries around.
I hate China. China treats it's own people badly but they realise that it's bad business sense to go screwing around too much in world politics.
But I ****ing hate Russia. I ****ing hate Vlad, and I hate the way they feel it's fine to make threats like the one above which is not just a warning to Poland but a warning to every nation on this planet.
**** Russia. Seriously if the west can become self reliant in regards to energy then Russia has nothing. We can go back to the halcyon days of the 80's and 90's when Russia couldn't even afford to fly it's air force, people had to queue around corners for bread and inflation was nice and high and their president was a fat guy who liked to dance.
Russia had the chance to do a China and be fairly friendly and make a crapload of money out of it. But they squandered it and chose to be evil. Let them suffer. We'll all be better off for it.
Seems this might not be too far from the truth.

If people in power around the world realise that without oil and gas money Russia is nothing then we can start to invest in renewable energy and also cut comsumption enough to give Russia the finger.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

It's slightly harder to boycot Russia than it is Nestle. I mean how do you know where your electricity comes from, where your gas comes from and where your petrol comes from?
Having said that, f*** you Russia! (please keep sending the vodka, though )

I'm in too! When that big wooden crate arrives with the Russian twin sisters inside, who are going to be my wives, I'm sending it back!
I think the O/P has a point. But the Chinese have been propping up and playing footsie with some of the world's great dictatorships for decades. More recently, with all the Walmart shoppers' money in their pockets, the Chinese have done a pretty good job of watching out for Russia and Iran. Personally, I don't see the Russians as any more "evil" than the Red Coms in China. They just have a better PR department."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
