keep on buying into anti-Russian propaganda, there is a lot of it out there for you

I have been to Russia on numerous occasions in the last 15 years and have seen the changes in their politics and mentality with my own eyes.

I've read that Comrade Vlad is *wildly* popular with Soviet women at least partially because he,unlike most Soviet men,is physically fit and not a drunk.I read that he intentionally has himself photographed doing “macho” stuff...often without his shirt on.

Funny how you can't cite anything specific, or dismantle the "propaganda" in any way. BTW, your handle is quite ironic.

The only difference I can see between the USSR and today's Russia is the pandering towards religion and the family, whereas the communists were anti-religion and anti-family per the Manifesto.

Personally I’d love to own a Ural with a sidecar.

Do you have nothing else to do with your time than hijack any thread mentioning Russia with the same years-old spam? Give it a break. It’s getting boring.

You are either dumb beyond belief and/or don't want folks to know the truth about KGB Putin and Russia. They have never stopped undermining our national security and building up/supporting our enemies (Ahmedinejad/Iran, Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez, the Castro Bros, on and on). They have held 3 sets of joint war games with the ChiComs in the past 5 years. They stand by North Korea and every other Communist dictatorship on Earth (strange for a non-communist "Capitalist" country, wouldn't you say?) They also seek to bring back the Soviet Union, with Comrade Obama's hot and eager help.

In which case, take the time and effort to write a post saying so when you feel it’s appropriate. Stop insulting the intelligence of all those who read this forum by deluging it with the same old post again and again and again. Any dumb hick can cut and paste. This is a forum for sharing and expressing intelligent opinions.

I get enough gratuitous, nonsensical spam dropped in my inbox every day: I don’t need to read more of it here, posted by supposedly intelligent people at FR. I come here to get away from that kind of garbage.

Everyone who’s ever read a thread concerning Russia here has waded through your ‘opinions’ a hundred times already. You never have anything new to say: just the same old mile-long cut-and-paste which you’ve been posting every day for years now. If you wish to start a thread to make a valid point concerning particular issues connected with Russia or Putin: please do so. I’ll read it with interest, and will be happy to contribute by posting my opinions on the matter and discussing it sensibly and amicably there.

In short: you’re entitled to your opinions: I respect that. I many even agree with them. But please respect my right, in a public conservative forum, to read a newsworthy thread concerning a subject which may be of interest to me (and many others) without hijacking it with interminable spam on every single occasion. If you’ve got a point to make: make it. Then move on, and grow up.

What friggin "opinions"?? They are FACTS! Russia IS backing and building up our enemies! THEY ARE retreating to their totalitarian ways! There HAS BEEN numerous "mysterious" assassinations and assassination attempts of political foes of KGB Putin, be they former KGB officials now spilling the beans on him, reporters critical of he and and his regime, or leaders of other countries, possibly even Poland's near entire leadership! THEY ARE reeling in their former satellites and trying to bring back the Soviet Union!

Olog-hai to Smith Winston:

“Funny how you can’t cite anything specific, or dismantle the “propaganda” in any way.”

He can’t because most of it is absolute fact. The rest is quite possibly fact.

Do you really not get it??

OK, one last time, in simple language:

No-one is (necessarily) disagreeing with your opinions per se. What you’re being asked to do is to stop SPAMMING this forum. This means: please stop cutting-and-pasting the same very-long thread to every single post you read, again and again and again. This doesn’t help your argument or assist in making your point. If anything, it has quite the opposite effect: as soon as those who read here regularly see your name, they scroll on down with a sigh.

In short: it makes you look like a none-too-bright obsessive who has too much time on his hands. This may be the truth of the matter: in which case I’m wasting my time trying to explain it to you. But on the offchance it isn’t: some friendly advice from someone (a) knows Russia considerably better than you do and (b) agrees with your opinions more than you may imagine:

When you have something of originality and intelligence to add to a thread, please do so. When you don’t, don’t. And please stopping spamming us on FR. We’re not all idiots.

The Ural is a no holds barred copy of a 1938 BMW..

The paint and metal works sucks and it has little power, but it is a reliable ride.They sell for a cheap price and they get the job done.

I like it because of the nostalgia and because I’ve always liked Beemer twins, and you can’t buy a Beemer like that anymore.

I compare Russia more to Czarist Russia, than the Soviet Union.
