You have Western perspective. You expect that politician is honest. Here in Slavic Europe, we laugh at this, but is a sad laugh. Of course politician is corrupt, that's why he is politician! Keeps money in Panama, of course he does, what will he do? Pay tax? Is not stupid. Is important that politician wants more than just steal, also wants good for country, then he can steal some. Such is life. If politician looks like he is not corrupt, means he is so corrupt that he has to hide it. Is okay if politician is a little corrupt, is bad if is so corrupt that he is ashamed. If he takes bribe, embezzles money, nation knows that embezzles - good. Nation looks at mansion, if mansion has gold doorknobs - is okay, stole a little. If mansion has gold toilets - politician doesn't know what do with money, stole too much. Votes for other politician who steals less, is maybe okay again. Such is life.

This is really hosed up.

So, Putin appointed Tatjana Moskalkowa to mainly protect the human rights of Russians not living in Russia. LMAO prepare for more wars.

Fortunately OPEC is defunct now and low oil prices will help burn down the Russian economy completely. Can't wait for the collapse to finally happen.

As a Baltic native Russian speaker I just want to see Russia keep getting defanged economically, so that they don't get the great idea to attack us, and see where the numerous socio-demographic problems lead them (ISIS in Central Asia, neoliberal destruction of welfare and education, the Great Internet Firewall 2, etc)

Don't lose hope! The collapse of the Russian economy is still well underway:


http://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/020215/falling-oil-prices-could-bankrupt-these-countries.asp

quote:

Russia needs the price of oil to be $98 or higher in order to produce it at a profit, and its economy, along with the value of the ruble, have been hit hard as a result. Over $150 billion has been lost in GDP to the low price of oil, and many fear that Russia may yet again default.

On the other hand: The world bank expects a contraction of the Russian economy of 1.6% for this year and a return to growth around 1.1% for 2017.

This Bloodshit (loving hell) guy's thread in QCS is how I got here, and while that's a regrettable posting style of questionable sincerity it's hardly worse than saying most Russians are peasants or admitting that you hope our lives get worse and worse until Russia is no longer a threat to NATO countries.

I want Russia to become so weak it cannot threaten ANY country, not only NATO countries. And that the lifes of Russians will get worse because of it is unfortunate, but unavoidable.

So remember how PiS cut off funding to an organization helping women victims of domestic violence, well now they've also decided to cut off funding to an NGO called Nobody's Children (Dzieci Niczyje) which has been helping children victims of abuse and domestic violence for the past 21 years. Their justification is that it doesn't provide comprehensive services to all victims of crime (only children) which was also their justification for cutting off aid to the women's abuse charity. They're getting into mustache twirling levels of evil and its frankly gross. How do you call yourself a Catholic and cut off funding for abused children?

edit: haha, I read a little more about it and turns out the NGO was attacked last year by right wing media for promoting sexual education and interfering with families. Now it makes sense. :barf:

Evil. Just plain evil.

Maybe there will be more sanctions because of this lawsuit? Well, enough people call for ending the current sanctions even though Russia is still waging an active war against Ukraine. People are still wounded and killed by Russian forces today!

Edit: Searching for news about Donbass and Donezk in German Google gives articles almost exclusively from Russia Today and Sputnik News. Nobody in Germany cares about the war in Ukraine. Sanctions that are bad for the German 1% on the other hand are bad! Really bad. Let the rich make business with warmonger Putin! It's only just and fair!
