The USA messed with the Russian elections in 1996 and 1993, as well as with the elections of many post soviet states, sometimes multiple times, resulting in coups and “color revolutions” in Georgia (2003), Ukraine (2004), and Ukraine again (2013-14) which ended removing from office actual elected and legitimate…

Get rid of the stupid voting machines, and move on. Stuffing paper ballots is much harder than flipping a few bits, invisibly and silently, inside this black box of a machine.

Nobody seriously thinks that. It’s just people who want you to believe that Putin was behind election hacking who for the most part cling onto a complex web of “motivations” (Hillary pissed off Putin, therefore Putin hates Hillary, therefore “Russians hacked the elections”) as a “proof” that Russians did it. This is…

Yesterday’s bombshell report, however, brings some validity to those claims of Russian electioneering.

And it probably has a huge beacon on it.

Because 650billion is a lot of money. A quarter of it at least, is spent on weaponry. Also a significant amount goes to private contractors, etc. Just to provide a comparison of how much this money is, the 2012 presidential election cost approximately 10 billions USD. So the industrial complex, which receives a…

Russia has a plan to build a series of nuclear powered Lider-class destroyers which have some of the super-capabilities mentioned in the article. However, given the high cost of the project, it’s unlikely it will be built within the current procurement program of 2025.

Military spending means little here. Saudis have ok airforce, but their army is not a capable force. Just watch them stumble in Yemen. If there was no civil war in Syria, Assad’s army could overrun the kingdom in weeks.

We should be placing sanctions on the Saudi Arabia for their genocidal conduct of war against Houthis in Yemen, and for sponsoring islamic extremism elsewhere, instead of selling them more weapons.

It’s not like USA needs subs nearby to launch a retaliatory strike on anyone.

So they know that two submarines are in the Pacific Ocean? So what? The long-range endurance of those submarines and the range of their missiles means that locating them is about as easy as finding the resting place of the flight MH 370. Terrell is simply being a dick, like the rest of the journalist community, trying…

Terrell, nothing in the story you have written justifies the sensationalist title you have put on it. What can I conclude? You’re just another journalist trying to go along with the group-think majority  which is trying to sensationalize everything about Trump. Keep trying this, and a year from now nobody will take…

Please proofread and grammar check you posts before submitting. Your mumbling makes no sense whatsoever. Your school teacher would not be very satisfied as is.

Large services economy?

The crazy IndyCar racing claims another victim.

IMHO, Bernie is always getting far more criticism than he deserves. Bernie is a good businessman. Under his watch F1 was very profitable, solvent, and expanded into tons of new markets. The only issue I have with him is the relentless expansion of F1 GPs into nouveau riche “me too” banana republics, petro states, and…

What about

The mineral sector of Russian economy, not just petroleum, contributes about 10% of the Russian GDP. They have a large services economy, auto manufacturing, and military industry.

Flying most of military aircraft has to be boring. I mean, it’s only in the movies like Top Gun that we see some crazy ass fighter jet action. In reality, the US Air force is primarily used as a truck for the army equipment, and as a bomber.

They don’t need to get anywhere near the enemy air defenses. The missiles that Tu-95 can launch are rumored to have 2000-3000km range.
