We are NATO, if NATO has to fight Russia, Russian won’t fair well.

You are dead wrong, ansel12. If I was a professional you wouldn’t ‘spot’ me.

Why won’t you grab a rifle, pick Juan McCain for air support and go there?

I’ve done my part as part of the NATO forces defending against your side.

Will you be grabbing a rifle against NATO?

I would grab my rifle against anyone who dare to hurt me badly. I don’t see NATO a threat like this right now.

No one is out to hurt you, are you already a veteran of the Russian or Soviet military?

Good, I hope so.

~are you already a veteran of the Russian or Soviet military?~

Am I under interrogation? I know how to use a gun if it is what you ask me. It doesn’t mean I’m going to shoot you.

What do you mean if that is what I asked you, you know what I asked you.

“are you already a veteran of the Russian or Soviet military?”

Are you in right now?

Interesting, did you serve in the Soviet military, or after that evil and wicked empire was brought down?

Don’t you think you are ‘slightly’ off-topic?

Not at all, your service to the Soviet Empire is relevant, your service to the Russian military is relevant.

I’m too young to be a Cold Warrior and I don’t remember much from before the Wall fell. Nothing which is worth a bit for sure.
Also I was hanging around Americans a lot as a teen and I have an idea about classic values. That is a primary reason why I’m interested in conservatism and this website.

So your military service was post Soviet, if you were seeing American tourists, then you must be from one of the major cities, your English is very good, did you learn that while working in the Russian military, or government?

Why tourists? There are a number of professors, priests, businessmen and military from UK and US in Russia. As for English I’ve learnt it in a public school.

Just curious of what the conditions were, and in what city, since you say you weren't speaking of tourists, and instead meant to say that as a teen you were hanging out with UK and American military and Priests, and Professors, and businessmen.

There is some misunderstanding I think.
Back when US consulates has run a lot of programs around Russia. These people were visiting schools, colleges. If you liked it you could go to consulate proper for their classes, seminars etc.
It was a long time ago. I wouldn’t recomend one to visit US consulate now. At the time they taught about God, rule of law, checks and ballances, free enterprise etc.
Today, they would probably push for muslim outreach, abortion and gay pride.
