'No question' of US backing for Russian opposition

February 05, 2012 19:03

Over two hundred thousand people gathered Saturday across Russia to voice their political views ahead of next month's presidential election. But some think that many supporters of the Russian opposition are financed from abroad.

Ok, 200 thousand people in a country of 140 million people are in the streets protesting. That is less than 1% of the Russian population. So, Obama please stop wasting your time, you will never have a puppet regime in Russia.

RT's expensive media presence in the US is just one example of Russia's interest in cultivating American popular opinion. However, its not just the US that is concerned about how to support democratic, human rights and anti-corruption initiatives of Russian organizations, but also the European Community and many individual European countries, as well as other countries around the world. Russia is too important to let it collapse into an abyss of corruption, of authoritarian rule, and even of ongoing violent oppression of its most-restive regions. In fact, who will speak for the thousands of murdered innocent Chechnyans - and even for Russian soldiers sent to be killed without adequate support in Chechnya? American and European support has been vital in helping spark a new "orange revolution" in Russia - something that Russians themselves have taken up and are now actively engaged in massive rallys, actions and planning. Exciting to know that the NEW RUSSIA is being born!

Putin will win with at least 85% but of course Zionists will claim that the election was rigged. Any election in the world that is not to Zionists liking is rigged. Countries of the world should isolate themselves from Israel, USA, UK and recently France. Let them rot.

What I can not understand is why Russian government, and in that effect other governments, do not use the same technique& nbsp;in attacki ng USA.  For example, why Russian government does  not use internet to advocate&nbs p;freedom of oppressed&nb sp; Latino minority of USA.  They are 60 million strong, and yet there is no republic or autonomous&n bsp;region of their own in USA.  I am sure that Latino people of USA would LOVE to have their own republic within USA, with their own parliament& nbsp;and so on ( like in any other free and normal  country of the world ).  I am sure that if Russian government starts using internet as tool to reach to Latino populati on of USA, and gives them support in that respect in UN, regime of USA would never, ever, try to meddle  in Russian internal affairs again.Why are not they doing that ???????

I think the key point is not so much that the U.S is funding opposition groups in Russia but that the Russian authority are not taking charge of the internal affairs of their country and that people with proven record of receiving foreign money and foreign expert advice continue to play critical role in shaping the future politics in Russia. This is the key point. Is this just a "slur" like calling someone a "fascist" or saying US radar downed the Phobus?  Or is it something that's actually meaningful?

The American Zionist controlled Goverment , British, German , and the French Goverment , with it little Hungarian Zionist miget as their leader, all know , that Putin will win , fair and square the election. But it wont stop them from funding anti Putin protest etc , calling fraud etc, and spreading black propaganda about Putin useing every lie , trick , deception , that the Zionist owned and controlled media can muster. Putin must listen to the loud chorous from his people and from Independent observers , that his first task , amongst many , is to put a end to forign backed and controlled Zionist NGOs ,running amok, that have been allowed to create havoc , mistrust,spying, unrest etc. Make no mistake about it , Zionist dont fund with billons of $ NGOs without getting any return , they aint that stupid. Zionist American , British etc funded and controlled NGOs use the old classic Trojan horse tactic . If Putin does not ban outright ZIONIST funded NGOs useing every lawfull means, then the ZIONIST Trojan Horse, he and the Russian people will live to regret it.

If it were not for American dominance in the Pacific during WW2, your tiny, relatively defenceless little island would have been invaded by Japan (or maybe even China) years ago. You should feel indebted to USA for the free way of living that you enjoy today. ********** ******************** ******************** ******************** ***
That old chestnut is just a little too old. We were fighting for 'freedom' years before you were tricked into war . You were sitting at home eating 'apple pie'! Japanese Naval ciphers have been broken in 1937, and the were being read. This was well known, including the assembly and attack on Hawaii. In fact, we had to sink one of your submarines crossing from the UK to the US as one of your spies had already found out about the impending Japanese attack.
In the mean time - what wars have we started? None. How many wars have you started and lost? All of them. If you keep doing the same thing, and getting the same result - why do you keep doing it?But don't ask those questions, just collect up your food stamps, and bake yourself an apple pie!Oh no - you can't - they are full of Fukushima fallout. Oops. Tough luck old boy! You're going to die!

What did you sink the submarine with....a sling shot? Go f*ck your ugg boot d*ck head!

You NZ'ers are too busy fighting each other over who gets to f*ck the sheep next to be effective at defending yourselves. The fact remains that the self professed Japanese war plan was to invade and dominate countries of the Asia Pacific region. There were planned attacks/invasions of Australia, NZ and even China (to name a few). Fortunately they did not get to achieve this as the US bombed the sh*t out of them and they consequently threw in the towel. (BTW, I think most would agree this constitutes as a US victory-rebutting your claim that US have lost ALL wars). Had this not happened you would be licking sushi off your Japanese PM's rectal cavity today.

. Kiwi, you left out a very important word, "Orthodox" ! I said: Vla dimir Putin is God's Anointed Orthodox Autocratic Tsar !!! Her e are the words of a holy Russian Orthodox monk to God's Tsar. I repeat them here to honor Vladimir Putin. " To you who have been selected to rule, by the highest, the all-powerful and almighty hand of God, by Whose will all rulers on earth govern and Whom all great people praise and about Whom the powerful write the truth, I address these words to you, the illustrious sovereign, Grand Prince [of Muscovy], occupier of the high throne, the Orthodox Christian Tsar and lord of all, the administrator of all Holy Churches of God and of the Holy Universal and Apostolic Church and of the Church of the Holy Mother of God, that has made such honest and illustrious progress that it has been enabled to triumph over the Church of Rome as well as over the Church of Constantinople. The Apollinarian heresy caused the downfall of old Rome. The Turks used their axes to shatter the doors of all churches of the Second Rome, the city of Constantinople. Now [in Moscow], the new Third Rome, the Holy Ecumenical Apostolic Church of your sovereign state shines brighter than the sun in the universal Orthodox Christian faith throughout the world. Pious Tsar! Let [people of] your state know that all states of the Orthodox faith have now merged into one, your state. You are the only true Christian ruler under the sky! " "... now all [Orthodox] Christian kingdoms have merged into your tsardom. Henceforth we can expect only one kingdom to come. That kingdom is eternal. I have written this because, admiring you as I do, I have appealed and have prayed to God that He may bless you.... Pious Tsar! Listen and remember that all Christian kingdoms have now merged into one, your tsardom. Two Romes have fallen. The third stands firm. And there will not be a fourth. No one will replace your Christian tsardom ... Her e is another quote from the holy monk that is especially meaningful to me at present: Holy Tsar: " Protect the innocent from their tormentors ! " ...
So you choose to establish your beliefs on the ramblings of a monk? LOL
