They buy Buicks.

I dunno about the Chinese buying buicks (they just want the governor chips right? j/k). But as far as everything else goes I haven't seen them buy basic needs like toilet paper or raw materials, or outsoucing some of their jobs over to us. Unless I missed something in-between the lines.

Russia has enough money to support its force now but only just enough, now the fleet is being downsized so there should be a fair amount left over for other things.

Putin's Dubious 'Democracy'

CIA Director R. James Woolsey put it, "Putin has taken things back, maybe not all the way to Ivan the Terrible, but to, say, Nicholas II on a bad day."

That's a kind of stupid statement, although I'll generally agree with the "Tsar Putin" idea.

Well folks, I'm heading to Russia for two months right now. I'll tell you what things are like and how 'Soviet' or 'Tsarist' they are first-hand when I come back :hmm:

Happy Times I don't see the point of those articles.

I'm pretty sure I could find similar ones for British extremists.

Roginov is a prick and most Russians I know thing the same, yea there has been a rise in the number of racially motivated attacks in Russia and a large number of skinheads etc. The thing is has it been noted of the rise in numbers due to better reporting. I believe that in proportion to its population there are the same number in teh UK.

Thing is Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia aren't any better. All over eastern europe there has been a rise in these fascist groups.

Russia launched another strike against democracy on June 15, when 14 Duma members, representatives of Russia's five Duma factions, submitted amendments to ban any public political criticism by individuals and/or organizations, including demonstrations against the government.

Now that is something to take notice of. Thats significant in that it really limits the voice of the people.

Extreme groups arent very big in the baltic countries. Funny how these groups are allowed to operate in Russia when other NGOs are being pressed down hard.. http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle...11774a9e0.html
