Vann posts dumb comments, Sujoy posts dumb questions. How are they any different?
They are worlds apart... some questions Sujoy asks reflect some very biased sources he is using for his information, but the fact that he asks here shows he is not interested in the CNN and BBC all sides of the story answer, he wants to hear the truth.
He asks questions and listens to the answers...
Vann often makes dumb comments... and even PD makes dumb comments like Rogozin is trampoline man based on a myth he has made up all by himself.
When someone shows him the actual incident his comments become much more understandable... the difference between Vann/PD and Sujoy is that after learning the truth or at least information he can further look up himself is that Vann and PD don't stop calling Rogozin Trampoline man... they are not here to learn... that might be how they earn their money... CIA paid trolls sent specifically to piss off Mike and KVS who are obviously under surveillance by the NSA and CiA.
They are both spreading FUD.
Sujoy is delivering information about the current angle of Russia bashing used by the western media propaganda machine... enabling us to collectively rip the shiny packaging off and get to the truth... sometimes everyone here will know that lie is bullshit, but other times it takes Mindstorm to pop in and tell us what has really happened and what the real truth is... but it is never what the western spin tries to make it into.
Why does he question the quality of Russian hardware?
Because he might not be sure? Not all Russian hardware is perfect and state of the art quite yet, but most of it is rather more practical and effective and affordable than western kit.
Do you realize thousands of forum members and non forum members reading his posts will develop a negative impression about Russian weapons and more importantly about Russia?
Do you realise when someone raises these sorts of issues by asking such a question the fact that thousands of members do not instantly agree, but read what other members post in response suggests it is more than just Sujoy that is learning here.
I have been following Russian equipment since it was Soviet equipment but I don't know everything, so when someone asks about this or that I am as interested in the answer as the person asking.
The real trolls are the ones not interested in an answer... they didn't post a question... they posted flamebait to get some conflict going... can you remember the names of any members who would do such a thing?
A few years ago I would have said Arrow was such a member because his comments always seemed to be flamebait... and honestly ignorant... but he listens to the answers and has clearly taken the time to think about things and his comments are rather different... honestly rather less spitefull...
Perhaps he started posting when he was a bit young and has matured, I don't know... this is not really very fair discussing this here and I will be removing bits of this conversation to the talking bollocks section
It is not easy to have your world view changed and some people will never accept that change... the west is good and the US is the leader of the west by general consensus and white people are rich and powerful because they are the smartest and nicest to others... and then you find out what the world is actually like... a real shock... a real kick in the balls... some people never bother getting up from that and stay in their little matrix...
To elevate the experience of people who visit this forum we need smart forum members not dumb posters like Sujoy.
I am constantly amazed at how people think they know people they have never met in person and really don't know at all.
Jumping to such conclusions with such generalisations have to be wrong... mostly because I think you are judging him based on the fact that he is Indian.
An obvious response from the thousands of members here might be... well you are just a Russian... what would you know about it... when people are more than just the country they associate with.
Will move posts shortly.
