I wouldn't call them enemies. I don't think they were ever enemies.. Just rivals. Like any emerging economy will be a rival to the US.

Here it is not only about the economy. The Russian economy is so weak that it poses no competition for America. The fact that Putin's Russia poses a threat to any civilized country. Russian is a completely different system of values. This aggressive inadequate country. Russia is the enemy for any democratic country.

Many Eastern European countries were the enemies of Russia. Don't put them all in one basket! The Soviets used many of them as military bases and supply centers for their vast army and had agents and puppet governments that allowed them to influence the life of citizens and keep the countries in poverty. To give you an example Poland was occupied by Russia in the 18th century and later, after it gained independence, it was attacked and destroyed by Russians and Germans in 1939. Russians later claimed to have liberated the country from the Germans, but it was the Russians that served the country to the Germans on a silver platter in the first place. Look at what is being said in Ukraine about Russia, not much love towards them outside of the Crimea.

Yes. Considering their economy has never been great as compared to other Western countries and yet they go around invading other countries' turf, I guess that's enough for some people to see where their priorities are. China is also doing the same thing though save for Tibet, most of the territory their invading are uninhabited unlike Crimea.

This is something difficult to figure out.

A very old person would remember when Russians were sort of like isis or al qaeda is today. All you had to know about somebody was that they were Russian, and you knew they were plotting to destroy the world.

A middle aged person would remember a sort of detente and some cooperation with Russia and Eastern European countries, even sympathy for some of the miseries people in that region endured.

A young person today looks at supposed Russian meddling in the U.S. election and it seems like no big deal. Is it because Russia does not threaten the U.S., or is it because the two countries are not hostile still?

The world seems to be shifting from 'western caucasian vs eastern caucasian' in politics to 'caucasian vs asian' in economics. China is taking over de facto control of African resources, often in a more ethical way than the United States did for decades. So is China the enemy now? If the furthest east asian culture, Native Americans, becomes more powerful will it be a step towards civilization or away from it? Or something else?

Crimea is historically ethnic Russian territory, which was temporarily placed under Ukrainian administration in 1954. At that time, certain promises were made to the people of Crimea. These promises were not fulfilled, and the people decided to go back to Russia.

aggressive inadequate country

The United States apologized on Friday for an experiment conducted in the 1940s in which U.S. government researchers deliberately infected Guatemalan prison inmates, women and mental patients with syphilis.

In the experiment, aimed at testing the then-new drug penicillin, inmates were infected by prostitutes and later treated with the antibiotic.

"The sexually transmitted disease inoculation study conducted from 1946-1948 in Guatemala was clearly unethical," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement.

The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,

Welcoming the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as non-nuclear-weapon State,

Taking into account the commitment of Ukraine to eliminate all nuclear weapons from its territory within a specified period of time,

Noting the changes in the world-wide security situation, including the end of the Cold War, which have brought about conditions for deep reductions in nuclear forces.

Confirm the following:

1. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.

3. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.

4. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.

5.

And what you want to say that this is proof?

  Putin is doing the same thing.

For sure, this is a proof.
There are OSCE observers.

If You need more - just check there.


Explain, please this better.
- "Putin" is shelling Lugansk city from "Kiev Forces" side?
This is Your version?

And who said that the shelling by the Ukrainian army?

Spot report by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM), 3 February 2015:
Civilians killed and wounded in strike with cluster munitions in Izvestkova Street in Luhansk city
KYIV 3 February 2015
...
The SMM discovered parts of rockets, including engines, fins and cargo compartments, in the front and backyards of several houses; the cargo compartment in particular is typical of a rocket carrying cluster munitions. Some parts sighted by the SMM at the impact site (1.5 cm white metal fragments, 6 by 3 cm black metal fragments of bomblets cases) are typical for cluster munition. The SMM identified them as parts consistent with 9M55K model “Smerch” rockets (calibre 300mm). The SMM observed a crater (diameter approximately 4m, depth approximately 3m) at the backyard of the house located at Dekabristiv Street 106 which had been caused by the explosion of a “Smerch” rocket, according to the SMM’s assessment.

The SMM measured by compass the angle between north and the axis of cargo remains. The SMM measured the incoming azimuth for the three cargo remains of the “Smerch” rockets, indicating a general incoming north-north-west direction.

OSCE report it

But in any case, even they never confirmed that Kiev is shelling residential areas.

To determine the direction of the attacks, Human Rights Watch examined rocket remnants, including the cargo, rocket motor, and tail sections of cluster munition rockets. In most cases, the tail sections were stuck in the ground, indicating the direction from which the rockets came. Human Rights Watch also analyzed craters and damage to buildings. In the cases Human Rights Watch investigated, the tail section also appeared to fly further than the submunitions, providing additional indication of the rocket’s direction.

How can you believe such a report?

...
On 12 February the SMM visited in Luhansk city a number of areas affected by shelling which occurred at 00:15hrs the same day. On Stara Mogila Street (approximately 6km south-east of the city centre), the SMM spoke to a de-mining team from the “ministry for emergency situations” of the “LPR” who said that they had removed from a children’s playground what they said was the body of a rocket fired by a Smerch MLRS. Based on the angle of the impact, which the SMM measured, the SMM estimated that the firing had originated from a north-westerly direction. On Oboronna Street the SMM observed the body of a rocket in the soil. Based on the diameter of the rocket and its marking, the SMM assessed it to be a Smerch and based on the angle of the impact, the SMM estimates that the firing originated from a north-westerly direction. At the Luhansk municipal bus company parking, located at Olega Koshevogo Street, the SMM observed the empty cluster cargo compartment of what it assessed to be the same type of rocket. The SMM observed damaged houses on Volgodonska Street. The damage to the buildings (broken windows, roofs, fences) was estimated by the SMM, based on the small size of the shrapnel and the high number of impacts on the wall, to have been caused by explosions of bomblets from cluster munitions. In Arkhticheska Street (approximately 1,2km east of the city centre) the SMM observed nine impacts – small craters – in the yard and on the roofs of buildings. Based on the small size of the impacts the SMM estimated that cluster munition was used.

After the scandal with the booze in the Donetsk and disclosure of information on positions of the Ukrainian troops to trust the information the OSCE is not very desirable.

Yeah sure... we know that you don't want the OSCE in the frontline, as otherwise they will expose the current silent genocide being perpetrated by the Kiev junta against the civilian population of Donbass. The problems with scandal will go away if they refuse to report the rocket attacks, right?

The whole world knows who to blame for what is now happening in Ukraine and not only.

The problems with scandal will go away if they refuse to report the rocket attacks, right?

Yes Russia as well as Belarus is the enemy of civilized democratic society, because there's still dictatorship in these countries

It seems to me that Russia is worse than Belarus. Formally, of course, and Putin and Lukashenko are dictators, but if Lukashenka is dangerous only for the people of this country that Russia is a threat to the world.

Very well noticed. About Russia you can not say anything, you will not hear anything new. This is the heiress of the Soviet Union, which means that the evil empire continues to exist in a different guise. But Minsk of its people begins to strangle with sophisticated taxes, because of what began to be wiped.

Russia is not democracy

Do You need the direction to take with Yous lessons about the democracy?

Do you personally know what democracy is and what are its bases for a civilized society? To read the lessons of literate people is One, but you must also have your own understanding.

In my opinion, its Terrorist organisations such as ISIS, AL QAEDA who are the real enemies in the modern world, The US and Russia became enemies because of the war, the three super powers instead of coming together decided to form allies, Britain sided with USA and this left Russia out and thus the start of the Cold War and the animosity between them that still stands today.

In my opinion, its Terrorist organisations such as ISIS, AL QAEDA who are the real enemies in the modern world, The US and Russia became enemies because of the war...

Historically, the Western nations have sided with anyone (including the radical Islamists) to defeat Russia and its allies (such as Serbia and Bulgaria). There are hundreds of examples, such as the Crimean war and the recent conflicts in Kosovo and Macedonia.

Any civilized country always takes the side of a country that was attacked. Until the Imperial policy of Russia will not change on her side will only dictatorial regimes of the East and Asia.

Yeah sure... so as per your logic, since the ISIS is under attack in Syria from the Russian warplanes, the NATO should support the ISIS. Wonderful! Reminds me of the support you gave to the Al Qaeda in the 1980s, when the Soviets were attacking them.

You are confusing religion with ethnicity.

There are many Russians who are Jews, Muslims, Catholic or Atheist. 
They are all Russians.  They speak Russian at home, like to drink vodka, beat women,  and talk about the glory days of the Soviet Empire.
Or whatever you guys do in your spare time.

They think they are all better than anyone in the West.  Most of them think Americans are morons.

They are all Russians whether you like it or not.

So zatknis suka...

In the 1960s there were two superpowers. One superpower had ensured the possibility of eliminating the other and vice versa. This nuclear "balance of terror" that humanity has experienced so strongly with the missile crisis in Cuba 1962, was created a situation which was called MAD, or Mutually Assured Destruction. Nowadays, USA and Russia ensure a different way with a kind of balance of terror in Syria. Under this light is difficult someone to believe that both of them are friends. Is not that right?

How do you know that Russian missiles capable of reaching America? Russians might be bluffing. All the weapons Russia inherited after the Soviet collapse. Of new technologies no. The Russians seem to be strong only through propaganda.

Russia has plenty of money to get nukes.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States purchased billions of dollars worth of highly refined nuclear material and lots of prepared armaments.

With all that cash Russia could buy any weapons it wants, except the people who got the cash are mostly in Europe now probably.

Not so easy in the world to buy weapons of mass destruction, even if you have a lot of money. I'm not sure that all the old Russian weapons able to fight. Russian often bluffing.
