Well, I don't like Bush(and I don't like Kerry), but, honestly, Bush is better for our national interests than Kerry. From my standpoint US must
choose between two evils which is smaller, it's hard times for America.
2paperclip, you act like pathetic idiot,
Russia IS NOT third-world country by any standarts.
Millions, billions flow in daily for "reconstructions", "development of democracy", etc, etc, but most of that money goes into pockets of
Presidents, ministers, governors.
Russia currently successfuly paying it's debts, and don't ask any money.
Russia is the current leader of world wide organised crime.
Ok, give us facts or shut your mouth.
The genocide russian army is conducting in Checnya
Oh, another propaganda, few facts doesn't shows you real situation.
Putin is killing his own people.
Who is this people he killed? Any links or facts?
Russian people are dieing daily of hunger, poverty, local wars, desease, while the rich mafia and goverment fight their economic war.
I'm Russian and don't see anything like this. Because I live here I know much more than you, stupid.
Another one i saw here, Russia being a third world country. I thought that was a lame ass statement.
I have a friend who travels to Russia every year to visit family. He said that most Russians he saw had cell phones, were decently dressed and fed. he
said its still got a ways to go, but no where near third world. Third world is what you have in Sudan and Latin America. Russia still has a strong
infrastructure that simply needs a little work to bring it up to full speed.
really though, the idea of Russia getting paid off to say such things is a bit weird. I cannot See Russia taking signifigant amounts of money from the
US to say this thing. Granted, they arent totally at full speed economically, but its not like the place is full of corpses, flies, and bombed our
roads and cities. they do still have electricity, plumbing, and food.
During the early nineties, they ahd alot of problems when the Soviet Union collapsed. which was expected. Times were pretty abd then, but they have
recovered signifigantly, and are still making pretty good progress. Third world coutnries cannot maintain space programs. the Russians still have
theirs.
But still, i am puzzled why Putin would make such a show of support for Bush. Its really strange. I myself actually like putin, despite controversies
and rumors about him. I just never figured him too thrilled with Bush.
of course, maybe he thinks that Kerry is alot scarier than Dubya?
