Are you against the opposition in geopolitics and the US wants to dominate the whole world? The USA doesn't want to dominate the world. Wall Street wants to dominate the world. That is the nature of the fiduciary duty. The most vile amoral concept invented by lawyers. Of course Russian oligarchs want to dominate the world. They want to for personal wealth, which isn't much different than the fiduciary duty. Maximize profit at any cost. I find most of your comments about the internal workings of the USA to be hilarious in the light of Trump's election and campaign. He wants the USA to be isolationist and is working to that end. He wants to ban Muslims and Saudi's are a Muslim state country. His base (supporters) can't tell the difference between a Muslim and a terrorist. Are Russians that uninformed about the USA? Or is the Soviet propaganda machine simply repeating the same lies to fuel hate and discord as it has since the cold war? |

Why does the US have 700 military bases around the world? Trump has stated he wants to close all of them. Do you not believe his words? (The only way his domestic policy works is he he cuts the military budget drastically and makes the USA isolationist as it was before WWII. You did hear his remarks that the USA isn't going to pay for NATO anymore didn't you?) Are you saying that Russian and American oligarchs are fighting each other through governments? YES They are chasing the same money in other countries which they want, and they want it all and won't share. America doesn't have oligarchs, they can't afford the taxes, they are mostly Europeans and some Chinese just using Wall Street and American courts. (By the way you should look up how much China has invested in US government bonds. [I see that Russia just sold its US Government bonds and bought gold. Does that mean Russia intends on making instability/war to make gold prices climb on world markets?]) How can you ban Muslims? if Trump knows how to do it, then he is a "genius"))))) Whom does Trump still want to ban? He wants "a total ban on Muslims." https://www.cato.org/blog/dozen-times-trump-equated-travel-ban-muslim-ban wrote: This fact matters because the constitutional case against the ban depends, in part, on Trump’s statements about it—specifically, the fact that he has repeatedly equated his current policy with his original proposal for a “Muslim ban.†He also wants to ban Mexicans and Central and South Americans calling all of them murders, rapists and drug smugglers. https://twitter.com/realdonad_trump?lang=en |

Trump has stated he wants to close all of them. Do you not believe his words? Yes. The US military budget will grow until 2021. Military budget is for a single year only. 2016 - 607 billion dollars How much of that is for old age pensions? Russians pay only for their defense. SNORT, Bashir al-Assad NATO is a good market for the sale of American weapons. The profit from sales is higher than the payment for membership in NATO. NATO sales aren't sales, they are gifts from the US tax payer. America doesn't have oligarchs, they can't afford the taxes, they are mostly Europeans and some Chinese just using Wall Street and American courts. In the USA, USA companies pay taxes. Non USA companies only pay a pittance in taxes, but they get access to Wall Street and the US Court system. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adr.asp The oligarch (Russian understanding) is a person who influences politics in the country. Putin ousted the oligarchs from power, for which Russians are grateful to him. In America, there lobbying is a good way to influence policy in the country. Putin only ousted a vocal few who disagreed with him. To oust them all there could not be private companies in Russia, everything would be owned by the state. Mere ownership of a private company gives power and influence. Money talks. He wants "a total ban on Muslims." The US police court, FBI, etc. work effectively. Russian propaganda bots spread lies that they are not working. Lies such as there are places the police won't go. Propaganda such as https://www.wnd.com/2017/08/no-go-zones-brewing-in-u-s-author-warns/ Perhaps our CIA should do the same in Russia? Your country has put a mad man in power in the USA. If the USA invades Russia it will be your own fault. |

If the USA invades Russia it will be your own fault.Both Russia and the US have the same propaganda about so called no-go zones in Sweden! In Sputnik News there are least one article a week about our "huge" problems. US WorldNetDaily (WND) seems to be the same cr*p. WND wrote about Sweden in that article about our "huge" problems as well. Caption" Raheem Kassam in the Rosengård area of Malmö, Sweden, a ‘no-go zone’ he visited in February 2017" ![]() I don't even belive that Kassam have been to Rosengård in Malmö. He is standing 200 meters from Husby subway station in Stockholm 625 km from Rosengård!!!! |

What has that got to do with the US Government? It's just your government tightening its control! |

You may recall that the US government has done with the TV channel Russia Today? Remember you said all Russian media is controlled by the state. |

Surely not. The Russian State & its people are not that gullible. :-)You may recall that the US government has done with the TV channel Russia Today? |

SO why are you blaming the US? |
Sirius B ![]() ![]() Send message Joined: 26 Dec 00 Posts: 24922 Credit: 3,081,182 RAC: 7 ![]() |
I do not blame the US, I'm stating the facts.Don't see any "facts" here, just attempt to shift blame. You may recall that the US government has done with the TV channel Russia Today? |

Facts are backed up by evidence, all you are doing is stating your opinions (and not very good ones either). ;-) Cheers. |

You may recall that the US government has done with the TV channel Russia Today? Is Russia Today, Russian? Yes. Is Russia Today, media? Yes. Is Russia a state? Yes. Is media controlled by the state? Yes. Therefore Russian media is controlled by the state and Russia Today is controlled by the Russian state. So why the surprise when the US State department requires foreign government controlled "workers" to register as a foreign agents? Did you read New York Times and Citizens United decisions? |

Actually he told New York Times that he "had a few doubts" about his choice of a holiday destination, but eventually decided to go for it. "But I figured, Why not?" Wallace said :) https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/22/business/media/chris-wallace-putin-interview-fox-news.html |

You may recall that the US government has done with the TV channel Russia Today? Didn't read again ... "One of Russia’s best-known graduate schools, created to avoid a brain drain among top academics in the newly open Russia of the 1990s, has lost its state accreditation, amid fears of a wider clampdown on educational institutions with strong Western connections." Russian money, Russian organization. Not Russian boot lick thought process being taught. Did you read New York Times and Citizens United decisions? Since New York Times vs US was decided when Richard Nixon was president, nothing has changed recently, but you should read it as you think the USA controls media ... Since Citizens United vs FEC was decided when Geroge Bush was president, nothing has changed recently, but you should read it as you think the USA controls companies ... |

I ask you to answer the question.You will find answers to that reading Trump's twitter:) https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump |

I ask you to answer the question. TV = Russia Today and Rupert Murdoch's opinion a/k/a Faux news. Experts = 0, so called experts a/k/a paid shills, some. political scientists = possibly some very unknown ones political commentators, several. Commentators have no political science degree and make their money by click bait selling advertising. |

At the elections in Russia all candidates were given time on federal channels and this is not just a debate. They had solitary performances and advertising (promotion). These are honest electionsHonest Vlad - The people's friend |
