You do understand, that any silly comment against me, from a handful of Posters:

Clyde Sarge's comment was not silly, your perception of reality I find to be weird.

As Einstein said. Everything is...

You find one way. I another.

Just happens, I am correct.

:) :) :)

I applaud your very convincing argument, quite excellent.

Putin awards prestigious "guards" title--not given in peacetime--to 3 units. Acknowledgement they fought in Ukraine?

According to Putin's decree, the 11th and 83rd air assault brigades and the 38th communications regiment were honoured for "mass heroism and valour, fortitude and courage" displayed by the units "during armed hostilities to defend the Fatherland and state interests."

The wording appears odd given that Russia -- according to the official line -- is not involved in any military conflicts.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the awards have anything to do with alleged involvement in Ukraine and said they could relate to earlier missions.

Open letter to the Russian ambassador: Can Russia admit fault?

Honorable Mr. Tatarintsev, Russian Federation Ambassador to Sweden, dear Victor,

It's been a while since we met - just over 15 years ago, I would think. When we were young and excited. The future lay like a gleaming silver tray. Or perhaps more accurately, as the Baltic Sea sparkling water mirror. Our common inland sea didn't divide us no longer. The end of the Cold War brought us together.

I think we met for the first time in 1997. The Heads of Government of the Baltic Sea had appointed a task force to fight the new, transnational organized crime. The Freedom as the Berlin Wall brought with it also meant freedom for criminal elements to move over previously closed borders.

You were an interpreter for the Russian representative, later Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin. I was chairman of the action group.

We established manuals so that law enforcement authorities could cooperate with each other. Contact points were established, common onset and operations could be performed. It was so far from diplomatic whipped cream imaginable. It was Neighbourhood Watch at it's best and most urgent.

For me it was a special feeling to be involved in this work.

As you probably know, Victor, I am the son of an Estonian refugee. My father came to Sweden in 1944, seven years old. I do not know much about my grandfather because he died as a convict in the Soviet gulag in 1942, twenty-one years before I was born.

Given this, one would think that I have a personal grudge against Russia, our large neighbor to the east. On the contrary. Both private and in my previous public ministry, I feel deep admiration and respect for Russia and Russian culture - the one who gave birth to Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, the one that defeated Hitler and Nazism, the one who gave the sports world Charlamov, Borsov and Isinbayeva.

But as much as I admire Russia I despised USSR communism.

Where do you stand, Victor, in that question? Your chief executive, then President Putin, has always said that the Soviet collapse was "1900s biggest geopolitical catastrophe". Do you share that view?

In the early 2000s parted our ways. You rose through the ranks of the MID, the Russian Foreign Ministry. Eventually you reached every diplomat's dream: its own ambassador chair. And moreover in Stockholm. Congratulations, Viktor!

In September last year you showed up in Agenda. Even then, it was interesting to see how you denied any Russian military involvement in Ukraine. But it is even more instructive to study the interview today, afterwards on SVT Play.

Now we have the benefit of hindsight. You argued, among other things, that Russian soldiers had "gone astray" in Ukraine. That the West fabricated the "scam images" on Russian tanks in Ukraine. That "there was no invasion or annexation of the Crimea".

This attitude, to deny and distort, troubles me, Viktor. And macho arrogance that Russia shows towards its neighbors is anything but Russian. It is Soviet, communist and Cold War-style. It pains me that you are representing Russia does not represent the real Russia.

But yes, the West, as you like to call us - as if we were a state in the US - have not done everything right in neighboring relationship with Russia. It was wrong to proclaim that "the West" won the Cold War - it was the Soviet Union lost. It was wrong to give priority to the bottom of the bilateral relations with Russia in Sweden, Finland and the Baltic countries joined the EU. It was a fault of Carl Bildt to draw parallels between Nazi Germany and Russia today.

But what Russia has done wrong in relation to the rest of Europe? Can you recognize any errors? It would be interesting to hear if there is any official representatives of Russia that can be self-critical and dare to show a little humility.

Dare you, Victor?

Best regards,

Pär

Russia should acquire the ability to destroy the US by giant tsunami waves and artificially induced eruptions. It proposes a senior Russian military journal, VPK.

The idea is that through targeted, limited nuclear attack inducing geological disasters affecting Russia's main enemy of the United States. The main proposal is to trigger an eruption in Yellowstone Caldera, a super volcano in the western United States, which had its last eruption for more than 600,000 years ago.

It's called asymetrical warfare.

The idea is that through targeted, limited nuclear attack


When both sides have nukes there is no possibility of 'limited Nuclear attack'.
One traceable nuclear detonation on American soil will precipitate a full retaliation 1st hitting missile sites causing a launch 'em or lose 'em cascade on both sides.....Armageddon.

Yes. But it's very scary that Russia even starts to think this way.
I remember the early sixties when we had evacutation plans and gasmaskes and buliding shelter rooms in case a bomb where dropped here.
Will Armageddon happen if Europe are hit?
Now Russia/Kremlin starts to behave like terrorists.

So, besides one person with an interesting definition of "thinking", now when someone speaks like Sarah Palin, it is called "silly"? Fine, shall we fine several videos of her speaking in much the same way? It is easily done. THAT, Mr. Extremist trying to paint someone as a Leftist (ha ha ha ha ha ha!) is what forms a convincing argument.
(If only the message board coders would hide not only the posts of the hidden, but replies made to the hidden, then we could have the hidden living deeper within their bubbles ... their echo chambers.)

P.S.-that you thought the original comment was someone how directed at you is ... sad. I'm so sorry you are obsessed with my comments. PLEASE, you also, PUT ME ON IGNORE!!!

Exhibit 1. It'd be a lot easier to follow if she'd said from the start, this ru;e change is a distraction and it stinks. But, she waxed "eloquently" about what would be discussed at the Thanksgiving Dinner table for several seconds in between.

Exhibit 2. Is energy independence a matter of prosperity and security? Sure, but she's just jumping all over the place from 0:40-0:55! Beginning at about 2:00, why is she addressing being an outsider rather than slaying her critics???

Exhibit 3. She went from "wage equality" to vegan eating practices and Purgatory? What the heck?
