    In fact they are so good that the FBI and CIA have software to make their hacking look like Russians did it.

    These were roads during the rule of Yeltsin. Whom love very much in the White House. Now, as the author of the article writes, by the way, the famous American journalist, such roads became typical for the United States.

    And by the way, why are you showing photos from Ukraine? Why not from Antarctica? Or from the moon? :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    Nope they're recent pictures. Notice the modern styling of the cars.

    I'm talking about the fact that in Russia such roads were during Yeltsin's reign. But these photos are made in Ukraine. They have nothing to do with Russia.

    Potholes are normal wherever the roads freeze in the winter. We get them here in the good old USA. The issue isn't the creation of potholes. Nature does that. The issue is the repair of potholes. Ours are repaired every Spring.

    Here is a video of roads in Russia. Though the posters blames the roads, it is not the roads but the DRIVERS!



    Note: that the roads look well taken care of . . . The video was posted in January of 20 and 18.

    Everywhere there are many idiots.... But the roads are really good. Is not it?

    I think in Russia very soft laws. I think that if you make the fine the same as for example in Germany, and even better - to confiscate a car and ban idiots from driving, idiots on the roads will very quickly disappear.

    Having been to Russia and knowing what conditions are really like there, I love reading the propaganda some of the posters try to pass off as life in Russia. Russia is very poor and backward. The average Russian makes less than $300 a month. Common sense tells you that they do not have the funding necessary to have all this extravagance. As with everything Russian they have a small area that the portray to the world as their life. However, a few blocks away is the real Russia that they hide.

    Your comment is an example of inadequate propaganda .... But it was ridiculous. Agree that only an idiot can compare wages in absolute figures. Anyone who has a brain understands - a correct comparison at purchasing power parity. Is not it?
    For example, in Russia, in Moscow (In the regions it is cheaper.), all utility payments (gas, electricity, water, capital and current repair of the building, unlimited Internet at high speed, TV and all others) are $ 50 per month from one apartment (+, - $ 10 per depending on the number of residents)
    How much does it cost in the US?
    In Russia, free medicine and education (including higher education)
    How much does it cost in the US?
    In Russia, the tax is 13%, regardless of the amount of income. What is the percentage of income taxes in the US?...and so on.
    But I asked you these questions already and you do not answer me.

    By the way, if you like apocalyptic pictures, why do not you show the photos of Detroit for example?

    Or another example.
    1. El Paso, Texas. The poverty level is 25%. The poverty level among children is 35%. City debt is $ 893 million. It is planned to increase the tax by 4%. Public schools finish 68.6% of students.
    2. St. Louis, Missouri. The poverty level is 26%. Four out of ten children live in poverty. Last year's annual report of the Department of Education reported that the rating of urban schools is 24.6% with a hundred-point assessment system. The deficit of the pension fund is $ 640 million
    3. Newark, New Jersey. The poverty level is 26.1%. Two-thirds of children live below the poverty line. From 2005 to 2012, the number of violent crimes increased by 14%. Federal tests in English and mathematics were passed, respectively, 36% and 47% of students in urban schools.
    4. Cincinnati, Ohio. The poverty level is 27.4%. In poverty, 53.8% of the city's children live. This is one of the highest poverty levels in the country. Of the 49 school districts, only 15 have a rating higher than "D" and "F". The "A" rating has not a single school. The annual budget deficit of the city is 20%. The city is balancing on the brink of bankruptcy.
    5. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The poverty level is 29.9%. The level of child poverty is 42.6%. Only 51% of the school districts passed the tests of the Department of Education. Tests on reading and mathematics passed, respectively, 59% and 48% of students.
    6.Buffalo, New York. The poverty level is 29.9%. The level of child poverty is 46.8%.
    7. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The poverty level is 28%. The level of child poverty is 40%. The city's debt is $ 8.75 billion. The pension fund is secured by 47.6%.
    8. Cleveland, Ohio. The poverty level is 36%. The level of child poverty is 38%. Since 1987, the city lives under the threat of default.
    9. Camden, New Jersey. The poverty level is 42.5%. The level of child poverty is 56.7%. The second among the most dangerous cities in the United States. The city is on the verge of bankruptcy.
    10. Detroit, Michigan. The poverty level is 36.2%. The level of child poverty is 60%. The city debt is $ 20 billion. The abandoned houses number 78,000. Utility services are in a sorry state. The city declared bankruptcy ...

    But you can tell the inhabitants of these cities how rich they all live. :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    Do you really think that I will be watching the video for more than an hour? :nana:

    Better briefly describe what is told in the video. We'll laugh together. Because even without looking, I'm sure - 1. Video as usual scolds Russia, 2. As usual, there is no evidence.

    Actually Comrade, I posted the video for everyone here as it is a documentary that takes a very balanced look at Russia under Putin and is mostly Russians explaining their lives and politics. Believe it or not, you are primarily irrelevant because of your job here.

    No it does not "Scold" Russia in any way. It is a documentary so in a way it IS evidence.

    Documentary "White Helmets" about the chemical attack in Syria.
    Documentary about the presence of chemical weapons from Saddam Hussein.

    This a good article that should be shared, particularly among Americans. The reason it isn't already common knowledge is that the US government doesn't want you to know the truth about Russia ..... and the CIA, FBI, and NSA are embedding viruses and malware into any link that tells the truth about "the east".

    I just returned from Belarus on Monday passing through Poland to get there and to return. You talk about 'potholes'? Walking in the evening in Biala Podlaska (Poland) was treacherous but once on the other side of the border in Belarus the roads and pavement are in top condition. The US government lies like a bear-skin rug.

    If it was 'working just fine' then it wouldn't have blocked the link ... it would have allowed the link to get through and quarantined the NSA'a malware instead.

    That's right.
    You'd have to have a death wish to decide to drive in Russia. I think one can attribute that to the mentality of 80% of Russian motorists .... they are harbouring a death wish.

    If that was the case your computer would be infected with the same "malware".

    Dude get a grip. The poverty line in the US is $16,500. The average Russian makes under $4,000 a year. People in poverty in America pay more in taxes than the average Russian makes. Except for a few elites, your whole country is in poverty.
