    Some of that money probably went to the late-Nemtsov:

    Since 1992, we have provided $20 billion to Russia to support pursuit of transition to the peaceful, prosperous, democratic state its people deserve - Victoria Nuland

    Very good video. Maybe people will understand me now when I don't want to see dead Ukrainian soldiers and I was happy that they managed to GTFO out of Debaltseve.
    6:34 one soldier says same thing like I wrote here before. So ceasefire is not good for Kiev, they will need to keep their soldiers busy and away from such thoughts

    IMHO.. The laws in Russia should be more severe against any opposition who is receiving money by the US government or any other foreign nation to create anti-Government feelings in the country. 20 years jail sentence minimum..that is if proven they received money or any special
    favor from the west to promote division in your nation.  A real opposition have to come from inside the nation.. not from the west or any other.

    Here for the "freedom loving" US fanboys in the forums. ie... Like TR1,F-15 and others..

    A poll with hardvard students

    America Imperialism a bigger threat than ISIS for world peace..



    This is what is most sickening ,that the majority of americans see the corruption and crime
    and out of control nation they have. yet ..so many Russians and and others do not see it..
    and even wants to use USA as an example of nation progress.. and future.  Rolling Eyes

    They falls for the "Freedom" propaganda , and the glamour of the american culture , its entertainment Industry like holywood and music industry and highly developed nation and quality of life in most of the country.. (Economy they created through their pillaging and stealing of other nations resources and a its hostile criminal interference in the politics of other nations to overthrow any Goverment not aligned with their interest).

    also was interesting the discussion of the video how vast majority agree with it..  Cool  
    (with 500,000+ views)

    here is one example of a top liked post.. there..

    Why are so many Americans butt-hurt.. I'm an American and I do agree with their views... Ever since we gained our independence, we've only had 21 years of no war. Every president finds something wrong somewhere in the world and dispatches military power to tackle it, leaving behind dead bodies and ruined infrastructure and people hell mad at us. Whether it was nuclear bombing of japan, Iraq invasion base don a lie, Vietnam or ISIS, which was initially funded and supported by the US and its allies. Maybe its time to step back and reevaluate, we might be the problem.

    So is there a change in thinking at Ivy League universities?. I recently read that Princeton was teaching that America is an oligarchy and not a democracy. I also recently read that a bunch of students at Harvard Business School mentioned that the business practices they were being taught were unethical. If you think about it, you have to be pretty bright to get into these schools, and it's inevitable that some students will start questioning the status quo.

    Thank God these students know their politics. I love how offended some of you are, and you should be because as Americans the leaders are to blame. I'm an American citizen and I love my country dearly but I hate who runs it. The corruption is obvious in America since the beginning, from supporting Hitler in gassing Jews through Ig Farben to the discussion Rep. McCaul had with John Kerry about how we've funded in support of the group we refer to today as ISIS. SUPPORT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT THE AMERICAN POLITICIANS! 


    While most americans see the Tyranny of their own government.. Fanboys everywhere else.
    Living in fantasyland ,the 5th column in RUssia or Europe of Latin america ,Pro USA fanboys only see the material things that comes from there.. and completely look to the sides to ignore how terrible is the Totalitarian State and repression there..People can be arrested like criminals just for giving food to poors ,or not walking on roads on the right side ,beaten or killed for nothing.. That is the norm there. Not mentioning the terrorism that the government promotes inside the nation and in others countries. and the excessive invasion of people privacy.. now they not only have torture of civilians people as a legal thing..without any court hearing or due judicial lawful process. but also now the government agencies of "Security" can touch people sexual body parts in airports..including elder people in wheelchair or children. only nation in the planet that does that.  Neutral

    Werewolf, they dont have to be the best. It's enough for them to be roughly on par with the rest of the first world and US industrial base will do the rest in every conventional war.

    Also bear in mind that military power is just one type of power projection, the other is soft power - and on that battlefield America simply crushes everyone else.

    Dude, you dont like it, I I dont like it, but It's true. Most scientific innovations originate in the US, the entire world learns English, listens to American music, wears American clothing brands, and eats American food. Ambitious young people from all around the world want to study in the US. US is the ultimate trend setter in literały everything.

    Without breaking that monopoly - you will not change geopolitical situation.

    I appreciate American culture, soft power, its contribution in science, engineering, innovation, service, entertainment, etc... too

    That doesn't mean I, or you have to like its hegemony though, and we are far from alone in such views, very far from alone.

    Yes, there is much to look to America for. But many of those who look to it want to take the good from it; not the bad, and not its political control. You conflate all these things, but in reality I think that of those political conscious and aware people, more people think like me, than anything else.

    That monopoly is already being heavily challenged. American culture may be ubiquitous but awareness is growing.

    There is no such thing as an american culture, the culture there was wiped out from the face of the earth. Now some idiot collonials are there that have forgotten their heritage for the most part and believe this is their land and they are "Americans". They never had and never will have cultures, except if you count hypocrisy and warmongering as a culture, 239 years of existence only 12 years without war....great culture.

    I would actually like Germany to be a superpower.

    But the main point of my post was something else - that the USMC does not have to be the best. Its enough that it enjoys a high budget and a 100 mln pool of recruits.

    I only counted american continent, australian and the countless islands which were genocided by brits, not to mention death toll of murder and genocide of chinese, africans and indians with opium wars intented to destabilize countries like china and to reduce life expectensy dramatically, further the dozens of millions by portugal and spain in south america.
