HoonDing Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Ex-KGB to me still sounds better than ex-actor or failed businessman. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
vault_overseer Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I'd like to point out that obyknven is 17, which means that she was born in Russian federation and missed the "best" days of 1990's. As the matter of fact, she just started school, when our KGB friend took over and started spreading his propaganda. So she, likely, has no idea what free press, or real opposition is. Keep that in mind. I think that if you want some better answers, you'll need to find someone in their 30's, who's had s chance to experience soviet union, free Russia and putin's Russia. And that's not me. Now, if you want to know why we put an ex-KGB guy in a president's seat, I'll tell you the whole story...in few hours, once I get to work and have some free time
Gorgon Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I'll venture a guess : it's because psychologically you still believed that another 'strong man' could save you all. You were so used to having a Pater Familias at the head of the country you couldn't do without one, you needed to be reassured. Edited March 31, 2010 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
obyknven Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Now, I'm a proud citizen of USA.limita ponaechala Obyknev, I think the question about the KGB revolves around how healthy it is for a democracy to take its elected leaders from a background of extreme secrecy, not to say anti-democratic traditions. Democracy is gift of secret societes to mankind. Read it in "Founding Fathers, Secret Societies" by Robert Hieronimus and "On the Influence Attributed to Philosophers, Free-Masons, and to the Illuminati on the Revolution of France" by Jean-Joseph Mounier. Secrecy is democratic tradition.

Wrath of Dagon Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Yeah right, one of chechnya's main commanders during the first chechen war is currently the president of chechnya, sitting on the huge stream of money coming from moscow. Heh. I suspect you're going to get Wrath of Dagon dropping by to tell you that you're wrong soon. Fact that Kadyrov fought against RF in the first war is well documented, as is the fact that he's on the official kremlin payroll. Oh yes, I certainly knew that. I'm just slightly amused because that ^^^ is pretty much exactly what I said, in the general case, a month ago and was told that I was wrong (and it was OT/ irrelevant, which it was in that thread so I didn't push it further). No, that's not what you posted. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
vault_overseer Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I'm 17 years old, from Russia. Ask your questions. Why did you elect an ex-KGB communist as your leader? I wrote a lot of text here, but I thought that it would be better to just post these links to the infamous GQ article, it explains it the best: The article in English: http://ratafia.info/post/180606234/none-da...l-it-conspiracy The article in Russian: http://gawker.com/5352827/ The article about the article: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...oryId=112530364 EDIT: Just to clarify, personally I wouldn't say anything as concrete as: "Putin did it", or "Chechens did it". However, the fact that current Russian government draws power from such tragic and still unexplained events, and yet taboos all talk about the issue, definitely undermines any credibility it may have.

Humodour Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Why did you elect an ex-KGB communist as your leader? You say it as if it were something bad. Why did you elect an afroamerican as your leader? Because his race has nothing to do with how many people he has murdered in cold blood as a spy for an idiotic ideology? Hmmmmmmm. Also it's not my fault that Kevin Rudd is black. That bastard.
Humodour Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Now, if you want to know why we put an ex-KGB guy in a president's seat, I'll tell you the whole story...in few hours, once I get to work and have some free time Oh, I know why. There's often a lot of stability and industrial/economic progress that comes with a dictator. It's just that it almost invariably comes at the cost of personal liberties and economic freedoms, as you well know. I just wanted to see if obyknven was blindly accepting or actually worth talking rationally to.

vault_overseer Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Dokka Umarov(One of the leaders of Chechen separatists) took responsibility for the attack. Interesting thing is, he shunned terrorism before, but seems like, since last year, he has reversed his views.

Do you known about praesumptio innocentiae? ROFL. What a great image that conjurs up. Vladimir Putin, sitting in front of his colonel's desk, like a bad schoolboy, head downcast. The colonel saying "Putin, it's just been brought to my attention that you've arrested and savagely punished ZERO enemies of the state. You realise you are letting me down personally on top of everything else." And Putin is saying "I knew I should have listened to my mother and stayed at home and become a night watchman. I never realised the KGB had to do all this running of camps and so on. Are you sure I can't just work in filing, comrade colonel?" Edited April 1, 2010 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

HoonDing Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Was Putin a KGB field agent, or did he just have desk job? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
obyknven Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Was Putin a KGB field agent, or did he just have desk job? He just did office work. Even field agents usually do not kill people. For this purpose, there are many thousands of special forces.
The Illuminator Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I think the logic of the terrorists performing such murders is nothing but revenge. They think their innocent relatives are being killed during the attacks their opposes make on them and as they are unable to make such army supported attacks, they try such methods to kill the innocents of their opposes. It is arguable if this attack can be masked under revenge or not, but I believe their logic is such simple and their sadness which is deriving from the death of their loves or relatives is being abused by the groups which desire to use them in such attacks. I think wars must take place in battlefield, but in this century it is obviously not occuring in such a way and this is bad for the innocent people. I'm sorry for those Russians killed in that attack and I hope no further attacks take place. I also hope the war between those Chechens demanding independance and Russia ends soon peacefully. The Illuminator Democracy starts with allowing different political opinions to express themselves. Fascism starts with killling all, who has different political opinions than yours. It's a pity for earth as it is full of fascists claiming to be democratic.
Volourn Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Most mass suicide bombings against civilians are exactly that - it's pure revenge. Kinda like AQ and their buddies suicide boming Iraqi Muslim worshippers. Sucide bombers in Iraq have murder way more Iraqis then thsoe they claim to be fighting against all the while claiming they're doinng it to protect Iraqis. I'm sure it's basically the same here. Sucide bomings against civilians isa pathetic cowardly approach to 'freedom fighting' and there is absolutely no excuse for it that is is tolerable.

For this purpose, there are many thousands of special forces. Oh well that's fine then. You almost make the counter case yourself! Please tell us you don't see this as an oddly detached view. Don't get me wrong. There isn't a national politician in history without blood on his hands. I'm just saying that a person who belonged to an organisation dedicated to destroying freedom might not be the optimal choice for an office which is supposed to underpin it. "It wasn't lies.
