How would you build a wall over there when Russia borders a number of countries? You would need to get consent from all of them and i'm not sure former Soviet states would really want to chip in. It's not like the US/Mexican border where there are only two of them.

It also wouldn't really serve much of a purpose as Russians aren't exactly trying to flood Europe the way people from Central America do vis-a-vis the US.

If it ever comes to war, a wall isn't really going to do much to help.

I have an Australian PR, though I'm not sure if i'll go the extra mile to get full citizenship when I become eligible.

What is truly fascinating in this much dumber (and dangerous) remake of the McCarthyism is the alliance between the circle that truly pull the strings and the garden variety SJW useful idiots with the latter (obviously) not realizing it.....it is quite the spectacle albeit a sad one....
I'm no fan of the militant PC culture that seems to have grown in recent years, but I highly value the contribution SJW have on society. I mean real SJW, before it became a dirty word.

The fact that Russia denies the LGBT community their right and even goes so far as to suggest that they don't exist in the country is troublesome. Sochi's mayor said as much during the 2014 winter Olympics.

I feel that many countries limit freedom of expression and religion in order to stand apart form the West, which I think is nonsense as the well being of those persecuted people shouldn't be confined to political ideology.

Watch these programs:-


Taking On Putin - Panaroma
Russia - with Simon Reeve
Reggie Yates - Extreme Russia


Sums up 'Russian' attitudes quite nicely I think.

The West has taken the opportunity to get rid of a lot of FSB Officers, and at the same time facebook and social media are under the spotlight, so not the best of times for Putin's Russisa.

However I offer my deepest sympathies to Russia regarding the Kemerovo fire disaster, which saw the tragic deaths of 64 people including 41 children.

Hi guys,
so interesting topic! I think I'll be banned soon because I'm just from scary Moscow)

But I can't help saying that I really think that British government was responsible for the tragedy in our country last Sunday, when the mall full of people had burnt down.
It's not even "highly likely", it's definitely! And I can say why.

First of all, they've got possibilities (so powerful nation!)
Secondly, they have a motive (hate russians)
And, what's more important, British invented plastic in 1862!!! (which is the main part of each mall)

Thanks to great teacher T.M. we shouldn't anymore bother about such tiny little things like evidence and proofs!)
Also common sense now looks like annoying nonsense, doesn't it?
