I am German, not Russian, but I minored in Slavic languages and can speak Czech and Russian. I never have been in Russia, but I have visited Ukraine a few times. Oh, and I have also visited Latvia and Lithuania and wasn't impressed - even Romania seems to be more prosperous.
So, instead of trying the old and tired whataboutism - a stupid Soviet tactic designed to distract from the actual topic - and calling me a Russian troll (because, frankly, you are the one who sounds like a shill), pray tell me why the exactly same corruption has existed when their anti-Russian leaders were in power? Why is Ukraine's GDP per capita is only half of GDP per capita of Belarus and has continuously been lower since 1995 or so even though Ukraine is far more resource-rich and has started as the a lot better developed country?
India used to have a large population of vultures which took good care of the corpse problem. Unfortunately diclofenac poisoned almost all of their vultures. I shit you not, they have lost over 99% of the vulture population inside a decade, going from being basically the most abundand bird of prey in the world to being critically endangered with only a few hundred birds still alive.
If Ukrainians want freedom and prosperty, why have they kept voting for crooks for the past 25 years and went on being the most corrupt country in Europe for the same 25 years? Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
That's how you get to be like Ukraine, not by not scrambling interceptors for every fart in the border proximity.
The only T-72s Ukraine uses are these that were actually sold to some African country but were never delivered. The ukrainian tank factories only can maintain T-64 and the diesel version of T-80 because it is what they used to manufacture in the soviet times. T-72 is being built in Nizhny Tagil, Russia. This was actually the proof of Russian military helping the separatists - they have used several T-72B3, which Ukraine never had. Ukraine used to have thousands of T-72 in 1991 (older versions) , but because of the aforementioned maintenance issues (they cannot manufacture the T-72 engines and autoloaders) the ones that were still good were sold, a few of them were downgraded with T-64 engines and also mostly sold, and the rest still rusts on their tank graveyards.
Hear hear. I visit Zuerich every now and then for work and usually stay for a while using my free time. I like the Swiss, they are very relaxed and friendly. If only they could speak decent German...;-)
"Immigrants take our jobs" is a prime example of xenophobia, but also a lie. So yep, this is very much racism. I mean, Brits have always been quite xenophobic, but at least they used to be honest about it.
I use a high DPI display daily with my Sony Xperia Z4 tablet. And yes, the crispy sharp text is pretty cool. It doesn't really ruin normal displays for me, though so I won't get a 4k display for my PC any time soon.
X201 is ridiculously easy to disassemble compared to many other notebooks. You can replace the WiFi MiniPCIe card in 5 minutes or so. The only problem is the BIOS whitelist, but a modified BIOS with the whitelist removed is not difficult to find.
No one in the West, especially NGOs, sponsored the Ukrainian protests over Yanukovych's refusal to listen to the people.
What are you smoking? Even the current mayor of Kiev was directly sponsored by a "NGO" that answers directly to our conservative party and hence Angela Merkel.
The people of Ukraine made it very clear they wanted closer ties with the EU and the West in general.
Some did, some didn't. Ukraine has been a very divided country in the past 25 years. But apparently for you only one part counts as people.
When Yanukovych ignored the will of the people he then ordered his Berkut security forces to murder the protestors, then fled into the arms of Putin for protection, taking with him hundreds of millions of dollars he had stolen from the Ukrainian people.
Even though Yanukovich had it coming, an armed rebellion would be dealt with harshly in every western country. Probably way more harshly than he did. I remember how the peaceful protests in Stuttgart against the planned reconstruction of the central railway station were brutally broken up by the Baden Wuerttemberg police.
Let me set it straight. Saying that drastically lowering standards of living and available freedoms for millions, not to speak of several wars and their casualties and destruction is a geopolitical catastrophe is a loathsome thing in your book? How evil are you?
Ah yes, I see that you have majored in Hollywood history. First of all, the second front happened only when USA and UK have seen that Hitler was on the losing side - they didn't want the USSR to win the war completely on their own.
Second, the bullshit with "building up huge numbers" is, indeed, bullshit. It wasn't a strategy in first place since it happened only in bad fiction. Even more bullshit was the "never changed this strategy". The strategies of the red army in 1941 and in 1944 were seriously different. Just read this to see how professionally the red army was able to execute a solid plan. By 1945, well trained and equipped, the red army has utterly curb-stomped the Japanese Kwantung army in Manchuria in less than two weeks. Even before that (Moscow counter offensive of 1941 for example) the strategy of the Soviet high command has been decent, but due to lack of equipment the red army just wasn't mobile enough.
We did have superior training and equipment at first, but the Soviets got better after a while. The Soviets stopped us with blood and guts, but they won by good strategy and good equipment.
But it is. High oil prices makes oil companies really happy - their cost is mostly fixed, so expensive oil is pure profit. I work for the oil industry so our company felt the falling oil prices and lower profits of oil companies (and deepwater horizon, that also hurt a lot).
Huawei Watch is perfectly capable of operating for 24 hours continuously with an always on display (OLED). Even for two days if you use a simple watch face and reduce the colour of the ambient mode to dim green or red.

modern greek have nothing to do with the old greek - they are basically descendants of slavs and turks. they don't even speak proper greek nowadays.
Is that how you were able to get a ticket to the USA?
By the way, I am from Germany, dumbass.

It is relevant, but apparently an expat from the European Zimbabwe is too stupid to understand it.

Sweden is not in the NATO, dumbass.
And this is why Pentagon is in charge for domestic propaganda in the USA - it is neither an intelligence agency nor a law enforcement service.
Windows DLLs don't usually have the lib prefix. Just saying.
Like librussia.so?
I know it for a fact.
They didn't. They just no longer want to do this kind of work, simple as that.

Old programmers also made mistakes. Remember the Morris worm? It has used vulnerabilities in several Unix applications.
It is strange that people who hate abortions, arr perfectly fine with death penalty and warmongering.
