For starters, go censored yourself.
You claimed Russia does not really need a navy because air and land routes are open to all the people they need bother trading with, and I gave you a relevant example where you are wrong.
And be grateful that you have that red font on your username to hide behind otherwise this conversation would be taking a lot more scenic route. Fortunately for your ego I am in no mood to look for new forum at this moment.
What you have posted already is enough for a ban according to the rules... which are quite clear in fact... I always love to hear how tough internet warriors are... red font or not what difference does that make?
For someone who lives directly off Uncle Sam's generous tit down on secluded island enclosure in the middle of nowhere you really seem to have unhealthy boner for Russia and not too much gratitude to USA. Biting hand that feeds you? No class.
Too much kool aide for you it seems... when was the last time the US actually helped us directly?
WWII?
Saved us from the japs I guess... except they did fuck all until they were attacked and then they mobilised their forces to save us.... right, we should be grateful...
Or was it the Vietnam war they dragged New Zealand into... boy were we lucky not to miss out on that little police action.
Or is this really sour grapes because your countries leadership seems to have found the trough and can't stop making pigs of themselves from the stuff that falls of Americas table?
You get off here ranting about some bull***t you don't know first thing about because at no point in your life you even heard gunfire in person but you have nerve to tell others how to conduct their own geopolitical affairs?
I have every right to express an opinion and discuss the opinion of others... just like you do... and I don't see what the sound of gunfire has to do with anything being discussed here.
As for your precious Asia, Africa, Central and South America they can all go f**k themselves. If they have issue with USA they should get off their pathetic asses and do something about it because nobody, least of all Russia will be there to wipe their asses.
Hahahahahaha... when you dismiss those victims of US imperialism just like I dismiss your government for being equally weak you become abusive... should I reciprocate and tell you to perform some sexual act upon yourself?
Today you either pay for stuff you want or you f**k yourself for free. Those regions should always be aware of it.
And when the US has you by the short and curlies and there is no viable alternative... right now for most countries in central and south america the idea that Russia could be an alternative is like for the people of Serbia that Russia might be able to help them with Kosovo, or less close to home for Georgian people that the US can help them get South Ossetia and Abkhazia back.
Yo moron, Vietnam ''won'' because they had several million disposable illiterate meatbags to throw into the grinder, not because they knew how to fight a war or use equipment that was donated to them.
But the people of Africa, Asia, central and south america and Serbia are pussies because they in some cases put up a little bit of a fight and then folded and now as part of the US Empire must tow the line.
They can be Americas bitch or have a revolution and overthrow their own leaders and murder the 1% and take back what has been stolen from them, or just accept the way it is.
Russia can accept the same... just keep a navy of corvettes and the occasional frigate... or they can build a decent global navy and give countries around the world an alternative to the Imperial US.
In terms of Balkan region Russia can go fuck itself.
That ship has sailed for them long ago and nobody here expects them to be of any help.
But you are not bitter right?
If the rest of the world should get off their asses and show the finger to the US why should Serbia get a free ride and be saved by Russia or anyone?
Russia isn't the US, it is not and will not be the worlds policeman/lynch mob.
But in the future it is going to have trade ties with countries well beyond the reach of its airforce and army so the navy has to do the job of keeping things going... that does not mean regime change or bullying countries into trade or out of trade... it is being able to send ships to a friendly country under blockade from the west and help them remove that blockade... what is the point of trying to improve ties with the US if the US can pass a law and then block all of your ports... US law applies to every country around the world didn't you know?
EU law is not better as Russia found trying to refuel vessels going to Syria.
This is the future world Russia will be operating in and she needs to be ready.
We seen first hand how much their help and their word is worth.
Exactly what help were you expecting?
If they have issue with giving us free shit then no problem. We will simply do what everyone else does: lease an aircraft or buy an aircraft. And in both cases we would not be going for some obsolete Soviet shit, especially now when Uncle Sam and his entire EU posse is trying to lure us on the other side.
Of course... give us stuff, or we will turn west... blackmail anyone?
Free stuff us never state of the art... that is forward deployed foreign stuff, not aide.
Russians are not giving us free shit because they like us but because they know that if we switch supplier now (or ever) this market will be lost to them permanently.
A market that can't actually afford to buy their new stuff, and wont take the old stuff... even for free.... yeah, I can see them fighting tooth and nail for that market.... that is part of what killed the Soviet Union... so many clients wanting stuff for free for the good fight, no one actually paying for anything.
Lemme guess: one of those clown-countries in Central Asia that whose name ends with -stan and whose greatest scientific accomplishment was detecting a drop in disease and mortality rate once they were introduced to concept of toilet-paper in mid 20th century?
You are calling his country a shithole without even knowing what it is... congrats... you make Donald Trump look good.
This clown started ethnic themed shit-throwing contest first so I am just responding in kind. Some lines you don't cross.
Indeed there are lines you don't cross, and you have crossed several.
Sounds like you need a break from this forum, I am giving you a 5 day ban to think about how you behave.
If you can behave like an adult when you return you can continue to post here, but I suspect you might find another forum or just permanently leave this one in a huff.... others might even follow. I don't care.
Just making it clear this ban is about abusing a mod and other members, and not for being a super hard bullet dodging pro serb patriot who has lost his faith in Russia as being the knight in shining armour who rides around the world saving every joe blow from evil US and western regime change democracy.
