Warning for us all
by Ribentrop-Molotow
I am not surprised at all by number of pro Moscow comments on this website, I juust hope that alternative view can be published unlike BBC website. 1) Can all the supporters of Russian intervention in Gorgia explain, why South Ossetia should be independent but Chechenia (just next door) should not? 2) Please spare us stories about Russian sacrifice in "liberating" Europe in WW2. Soviet Union was the ally of Hitler till 1941. When 2 gangsters (Germany and Soviet Russia) fought over the spoils USA and Britain choose to side with one of them against the other. "Allied" gangster kept the control of Eastern Europe. This is "realpolitics" but let's not call it liberation. 3) Let's consider general lefftie hipocrysy about essence of Soviet Union, Russia and its leaders. When Kurt Waldheim was elected president of Austria, country was ostracised because we was member of Wehrmacht. I do not remember complaints about Putin being president of Russia although he was a member of KGB, successor of NKVD/Cheka, so not that different from SS and Gestapo. 4) Russians should remember that in 20-30 years time they will need USA and Europe more them we need them. Never mind new technologies replacing oil and gas. Look at the map and demographics. Your population is dropping by 500K per year. Even now you face dynamic, fast growing China in the Far East where you have what? Maybe 6-8 million mostly elderly and drunks and many busineses are already run by Chinese. Those suggesting diverting oil from west to China should get their head examined. If you think China is your ally, you definitely do not need enemies. Sweet dreams about Imperial Mother Russia. I hope your young ones are learning Mandarin, they will need it....
