So you're saying you didn't come to jb6's defense and attack me when you both claimed how great and prosperous the Russian people are and how their leadership has brought about both?
Sorry, I got you confused with jb6 and moving to Russia to work. My mistake, it was a long time ago.
"...it was your ilk who were defending the Chechens as being the good guys against the evil Russians in the past on Free Republic.
WTF are you drinking...vodka w/coffee? Please post any reference by me defending Chechens!
FYI, Your comments of support for the great Russian economy can be found at:

I would like to suggest everyone go to the link you provided and look at both of our comments.

JB6 not only did not move to Russia, but now works for a large American defense contractor. Furthermore, he was a major in the American Army and served in Bosnia. He also served as a military attache to Georgia.
You were making ignorant remarks such as,
Why, just think how close we all could become by sharing the toilet paper and splitting our dinner (a potato) with the one you love.And, reponses to JB6 ".....Ford and Chrystel (?) SUVs are popular there...."
And what percentage of the average Russian citizen can actually own one? You forgot to add that they all drive new SUV's and live in million dollar estates!
"...it was your ilk who were defending the Chechens as being the good guys against the evil Russians in the past on Free Republic."

Go to the dictionary and look up the word "ilk."

Once again, I challange everyone to look at our remarks. If you had traveled to Russia in recent years, then you would realize their economy is booming. They have major traffic jams in Moscow, which would compare to most in the States. In other cities the traffic is heavy at rush hour. You do see many SUVs from various countries. Indeed, you will see Ford Explorers, Expeditions, Naivgators, Jeeps, Mercedes, etc. Almost all of my wife's family have cars, and they are just average Russias. Russia has many new shopping centers, which compare to most in the Staes.
Park House shopping malls are but one example. Large stores similar to Sam's and Costco have been built in large and medium size cities. As an example Volgograd has several such stores. The Russian economy has been growing at 7% for several years. May I suggest you take a look at the mutual funds LETRX and TMRFX and their rate of return the last few years.
