In reply to the discussion: Snowden asks Putin about Moscow surveillance [View all]neffernin
(275 posts)41. In no way to I agree that we are any means fair
but when you talk up Russia while putting down the United States in this case it is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction wouldn't you think?
Personally, I think it is sad that as a country we continuously choose to vote in worthless scum; but at least as a fairly ignorant electorate we choose to subjugate ourselves instead of having it chosen for us.
We have not actually seen evidence that Russia does this. I wonder why that is? Maybe the Russians are just inherently more competent people.
Or maybe because they don't have freedom of speech?
I'm guessing you also believe that all of those people in eastern Ukraine are just Russian speaking Ukranians who happen to have access to Russian arms and Russian uniforms minus the insignia? There's no proof, so it must not be true, right?
