    You're kidding yourself if you think Russia can't afford to fix one aircraft carrier. If Russia needed aircraft carriers you better believe they would have as many as they needed. And oh, by the way, I simply gave some facts but you're intention was to create a debate.

    Rimland, Heartland. Russia never was a naval power, and why should she be? Russia stretches over 11 time zones, why does she even want to project power? Russia defends its shores. Let the USA bankrupt itself. Great Britain remains the only nation in the world that actually needs a blue water navy. (though it's surely a nice thing to have)

    Okay....then please explain to us all why the Russian defense ministry decided to cut the repair budget by half? While you are at it, why no real ships?

    Maybe they hate freedom and democracy. Just like the Russians. Russians have never learned the benefits of freedom. They prefer to live under the thumb of despots.

    The budget could have been cut for any number of reasons, none of which the U.S. is entitled to know about. The Russian Navy has more than enough submarines including 16 of them nuclear powered to defend against any aggressor.

    Russia is the freest and most peaceful country in the world.
    This is in the US - fascist dictatorship. For example. Never dictators allow international observers to monitor elections. What is in the United States. In the United States, they still elect a president as in a medieval totalitarian society. In the United States there is no direct presidential election. Because in the USA dictatorship. Torture of prisoners is officially allowed in the USA. Just like in medieval Africa.
    NSA makes total surveillance of its population. This control of its population was not even in Nazi Germany.
    The Patriot Act allows you to arrest anyone without charge.
    US police kill more innocent and innocent civilians than police in Somalia or Iraq.
    In the US, the largest number of prisoners in the world. Even in China, since Mao, there have not been so many prisoners. ...and so on.
    You call this democracy?
    In my opinion, it is obvious that a person in his right mind will strive for his region to become part of Russia.

    Sure, after three bottles of vodka even Poo-Tin looks like a serious politician and not like a little street gangster.

    Read the handwritten treaty that I gave you, fool!!!
    It’s the photocopy of the original document. It has the date and tsars signature on it on the last page.
    Because you didn’t read it, this whole post is nothing but propaganda BS.
    The agreement spells out the transfer of land.

    Wow. Just wow.
    Russian propaganda is so good that you can get a poor homeless guy convinced that he is richer than bill gates.
    Mind blown!

    Picture without context and a source is meaningless.
    This could have been staged in Moscow. And I don’t see anywhere on this picture that Alaskans want to join Russia.

    Russians are free to drink themselves to death and when they pass out they become peaceful.

    Whole Russia is a drug hell. American Slums look like paradise compared to that.

    Yeah, but it doesn't include one of the Aleutian islands, since it didn't belong to the Russian state. It belonged to the Russian Church - so give it back. Fair is fair, right is right and law is law so there. :nana:

    Still, no reliable source of the picture. The article talks about online petition with over 30,000 signatures. But online petition could be signed by anyone and I would bet those signatures didn’t come from Alaskans.

    Because Russia is the freest and most peaceful country in the world. All will want to become part of Russia. They want it now. For example, half of Ukraine wants to immediately join Russia. Ask any resident of Donbass and he will confirm my words.
