Yes Vadim's pic of British naval ships is a bit thin, List of active Royal Navy ships, but what would you expect from a warmonger. |

At least our Carriers don't belch black smoke or breakdown continuously. :-) |

I live not in a military region and I do not see military equipment. I don't live a military region either but I can see many military equipments. Foreign submarines for instance. https://vimeo.com/126906725 https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%B2_%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D1%85_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%85_%D0%A8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B8 |

Russia’s Defense Ministry has sent out invitations to all NATO member states to participate in the International Army Games, Chief of the Russian Armed Forces’ Main Combat Training Department Lieutenant-General Ivan Buvaltsev told Rossiya-24 TV Channel on Friday. http://tass.com/defense/1015044 "This year, we have sent out invitations as usual to NATO member states. But only a team from Greece will take part," the general said. Was Sweden and Finland invited as well? Whatever. Here is one reason why Sweden think Russia is a threat already today. http://www.inblick.se/nyheter/2016/09/01/nya-avslojanden-om-hemliga-ryska-undervattensoperationer GUGI, or Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research. GUGI is responsible for fielding specialized submarines, oceanographic research ships, undersea drones, autonomous vehicles, sensor systems, and the like. They in fact, engages also in espionage and sabotage. https://russianmilitaryanalysis.wordpress.com/tag/gugi/ Lots of power and IT cables across the Baltic Sea... |

For those Russian people who wonder where their money is going. Sunday Night claims links between Australian banks and Russian criminals. Mr Perepilichnyy is a wealthy man, thanks to a long career as money-launderer to Moscow’s elite.And we all know who is the top honcho of the Russian mafia. |

"The Luzhniki police station says that there's an order to keep us in overnight - until some procedures take place in the morning," he saidSo the obvious question is: Why not have kept them in prison until the following morning? Held without charge |

I think the answer is quite obvoius."The Luzhniki police station says that there's an order to keep us in overnight - until some procedures take place in the morning," he saidSo the obvious question is: Why not have kept them in prison until the following morning? It's Russia today. One more reason to accuse Pussy Riot of "extremism". What is extremism? Well. In occupied Crimea it's like flying an Ukrainian flag at your property. The sentence is two years of imprisonment. If you are lucky that is. A ‘court’ in Russian-occupied Crimea has sentenced Ukrainian political prisoner Volodymyr Balukh to an extra three years’ imprisonment on charges as overtly fabricated as those used to originally arrest him. The defence has reason to believe that the Russian Investigative Committee is behind the decision to add to the initial three and a half year sentence widely seen as linked not with any crime, but with the Ukrainian flag that Balukh had refused to remove from his home. http://khpg.org/en/index.php?id=1530793368 |

The problem with flags is that displaying them in quite normal circumstances can be "controversial". Just over a decade ago, had a good neighbour & friend get in trouble with the local council over flying the St George flag. He was ordered to take it down. He had over 2 months of hassle over it so he eventually took it down. I got him to let me borrow his flagpole & flew the Irish tricolour. :-) Not a dickey bird! That taught the poor guy something - He is an Englishman born & bred. Oh, the tricolour I flew had a gold harp in the white section. India has a Wheel of Life, Pakistan has a red crescent. All 3 flags are the same colours. Make of that what you will, but I know what I know. :-) |

Of course it's controversial (without qoutes) to fly flags. Especially if the flag is from a foreign country. Now in the UK and Ireland perhaps going back to 70's. What sentences did you get there flying the wrong flag? btw. Saint George is Russia's protection angel as well. And Sweden's:) |

Now in the UK and Ireland perhaps going back to 70's.None that I'm aware. Except for International football matches, there wasn't much flag raising. The problems with flags only really started becoming an issue during the 90's. Mainly when BHL's got a bee stuck up their jacksies. :-) |

I should have said "in the Northern Ireland and Ireland perhaps going back to 70's".Now in the UK and Ireland perhaps going back to 70's.None that I'm aware. Except for International football matches, there wasn't much flag raising. The problems with flags only really started becoming an issue during the 90's. Mainly when BHL's got a bee stuck up their jacksies. :-) Whatever. In Russia today you can make racist comments, hate comments, or any comments or opions for that matter. as long you don't make any comments about Russia and Putin in particular! Then you are an Extremist! BHL? Acronyms is very hard to understand. Even to people having English as a first languge. |

Kremlin must have lost their mind totally! Well, paranoia is classified as a mental disorder. “Cet animal est très méchant. Quand on l’attaque il se defend.†This line from a 19th-century French song perfectly expresses the paradox of Russia’s approach to its Nordic neighbors. These countries are very naughty. When they are attacked, they defend themselves. https://www.cepa.org/shoigu-looks-north The Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, made a tendentious speech on 24 July berating Sweden and Finland for their supposedly provocative and aggressive defense policies. He claimed that these two non-NATO countries had signed a treaty in May providing for their full participation in the Alliance’s exercises, and potential integration into its command structure. NATO, he said, had in return received unrestricted access to Swedish and Finnish airspace and territorial waters. He also complained that at U.S. instigation, Finland (along with four other European countries) was hosting centers for military cyber operations.We Sweden/Finland have had 18 wars with Russia between 1142 and 1809. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE-%D1%88%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9%D0%BD%D1%8B More than 200 years of peace since last time! And now Russia are accussing us to hosting centers for military cyber operations against Russia. And also having provocative and aggressive defense policies. BLIN! That's nonsense. It now seems clear that Russia want Sweden and Finland to join NATO so Russia at last can use their VDV forces to invade us together with the Russian Navy. Russian Navy Day was last Saturday in St Petersburg that I watched on Sputnik and boy do they have many invasion crafts. Sigh... |

Far left Russians are just the same as far right Yanks. Both are totally stupid, eager for war and love greed. In fact they're just opposite sides of the same coin. |

1030th anniversary of Baptism of Rus celebrations http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/58123 @Vadim Putin declared in that event that Russia became Russia then. Not before. Meaning all Russian tsars and pagean belives before that are not Russian. Which make me thinking. Was Vladimir the Great a Russian or Ukrainian? Or perhaps even a Scandinavian:) Well today Putin is Vladimir "Vova" the Greater according to himself. Putin, Putout:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-wFKNy0MZQ Do you want a piece of me or peace with me :):) |

Three Russian journalists were killed in Central African Republic, their news outlet said on Tuesday, in what local authorities said was an ambush by unidentified assailants. The journalists had been investigating the activities of the so-called Wagner group, an organization of private military contractors which, people with ties to the group have told Reuters, carried out clandestine combat missions on the Kremlin’s behalf in eastern Ukraine and Syria. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-centralafrica-violence/three-russian-journalists-killed-in-central-african-republic-ambush-idUSKBN1KL2DX Russia's state TV MP Zjirinovskij: "We should help clean people who work for Motherland, not 3 dirtbags. Let their parents pay to bring bodies back." Host: "No, let Khodorkovsky pay." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Khodorkovsky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JliIUF8B-cA&feature=youtu.be&t=1298 |

Swedish Supreme Commander Micael Bydén visited the Pride Parade in Stockholm yesterday. And started singing Suspicious Minds by Elvis. Video https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/har-rockar-overbefalhavare-micael-byden-loss-till-elvis And dancing. Will we see the Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, doing the same at the Moscow Pride Parade? |
