If this one is posting to me that´s totally pointless if it expects any reply. Once on my ignore list that´s permanent, I never read that again.
If You are referring to me then You could use my nickname instead of addressing to me as "it". But that just shows personal culture and the inability to discuss the difficult and uncomfortable topics. Regards. |

It's strange how fairly easy Iraqis army have lost their vehicles, considering the advantage they had in the equipment and also the fact that even today there are few American soldiers still training Iraqis. "U.S. invested $25 billion in training and equipping the country’s armed forces before withdrawing in 2011. To this day, a much smaller number of American soldiers remain in the country in order to train Iraqi soldiers." Secretary of Defence Ashton Carter said: “That says to me and, I think, to most of us, that we have an issue with the will of the Iraqis to fight ISIS and defend themselves.” http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/05/why-iraqs-military-has-no-will-to-fight/394067/ |

And if You really want to know how wonderfull East Germany was speak to Germans that actually lived there, that where trying to escape to the West.
I have checked the election results from the East German states. Very few of the people there support Angela Merkel's pro-American Party. On the other hand, the pro-Russian Die Linke usually gets 25% to 30% of the votes there. Now you will be very surprised to learn that the Die Linke is simply a refurbished version of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (the East German Communist Party).  And what that supposed to prove economy wise? almost in every democratic country you have a change of political attitudes, yesterday it was Merkel's party, today Die Linke party, tomorrow right sector. But fact is: East side of Germany is behind West side because of bad management in GDR. At any rate; Germany is an occupied country and has been for 70 years. As such it obviously has limited independence and certainly no independent foreign policy to speak of. And of course a military that is for appearances only if that.
If Germany is rally a puppet in the hands of Us then why they allowed for North Stream? |

But jokes aside, lets compare motor companies that are influential and important in today's German economy:
Audi - West
Volkswagen - West
BMW - West
Mercedes - West
Noticed a trend here?
Both the GDR and the FRG had their own strong points. Automobile industry was one of the strong points of the FRG, while healthcare, manufacturing, military, mining, agriculture, and heavy machinery were the specializations of the GDR. Almost every communist/paranoid government is going for military and heavy machinery but that doesn't proof that it had strong economic. http://fortune.com/2014/11/09/germany-east-west-economy/And if You really want to know how wonderfull East Germany was speak to Germans that actually lived there, that where trying to escape to the West. |

Israel Prime Minister just want to receive some free cash from USA for his army, and if White House support - why not  Any country would be happy to receive free cash from USA  It's not that easy, USA will want something in exchange, nothing is free you know. US may want to have some support from Israel, Senator Jesse Helms called Israel "America's aircraft carrier in the Middle East". Whenever America wants to fight someone in the Middle East it's easier to have some place there that you can get supplies from, instead of transporting them from Europe or US |

The former East Germany (Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR) was a powerful, sovereign state with a sizable army and lots of influence over the world. The CIA operations destroyed East Germany, ultimately re-uniting it with West Germany. The DDR lost its sovereignty and influence, when it merged with the FRG to form the unified German vassal state.
Oh wow, You really made my day  Surly every one remembers influential politics from East Germany for example... a... and there was this guy... e... and then that other one who made that... But jokes aside, lets compare motor companies that are influential and important in today's German economy: Audi - West Volkswagen - West BMW - West Mercedes - West Noticed a trend here? |

I don't see no changes in FIFA, Blatter stays in charge. After some court battles and couple of moths of peace, the mafia will do its thing again. They will throw someone to the lions, someone will apologies for the mess and that's will be all. I do believe it's time to create a new institution to take charge of the world football.

My gut reaction is that this is dis-info.
I expect this will probably happen at some point under one of two distinct scenarios:
1) Russia decides to capitulate to the West (and/or West+China.)
2) The Western influence in the Middle East collapses and Russia and Iran (who are natural adversaries due to geographical and natural resource consideration) move toward a more aggressive jockeying for position against one another.
I don't see any indication of either of these prerequisites. That doesn't mean they are not occurring however.
Edit: I should state option 3) which is more possible: Russia is simply giving up a rook or pawn that they know is lost.
1) Russia decides to capitulate to the West (and/or West+China.) not gonna happen 2) The Western influence in the Middle East collapses not gonna happen 3) which is more possible: Russia is simply giving up a rook or pawn that they know is lost. not gonna happen i would vite for option 4 - ISIS will take control over syric and iraq completely I don't think ISIS will take over Iraq, US invested far too much cash in Iraq to let it go. Will ISIS take Syria? maybe but again that would be to much and US as well as EU would take more drastic action. Of course I could be completely wrong but time will tell and hopefully ISIS will be taken down. |

Already Prime Minister of Great Britain wants to block the migrants from other countries of Europe.
Well he says that out in the open to appease the nazi-light UKip party, in reality the UK needs controlled immigration. It's a small island with an aging population, Britain's needed immigration since the Roman times. The key is not letting in every Tom, Dick and Harry. Currently 60% of immigrants entering the UK are university educated, they need someone to help run the country  That's correct but it doesn't change the fact that currently Cameron's policy is to keep immigrants away fro UK, so he would had very difficult to justify taking in immigrants form South Africa, no matter what their skin colour would be. |

To Europe but where exactly? and why? South Africa has its problems, that's true but so does most of European countries. Currently EU is thinking what to do with Syrian refugees and others from Middle East and North Africa, Italy don't want to take more people and the rest of EU is not willing to take them.
we arent willing to take them because they are black/islamic and don't belong in europe. why are you putting civilised white south africans in the same category as these dark skinned invaders? Because I'm not racist, because colour of your skin does not determine if you are Islamic/Catholic/Jewish. That being said, even if someone is going to segregate people, where those white South Africans will go?

They are winning because they have the more compelling narrative. We don't like to admit it, but there is a huge movement toward Islam. We think we can shoot a powerful idea to death, but the people we are fighting are more committed than we are, and actually believe in the morality of what they are doing. By comparison the rest of the world has no consistent position or policy. Those who know war could see this coming when we announced we were going to "liberate" Iraq.
If killing innocent people = evil. And killing those that kill innocent people = good. How can a powerful idea, that is evil, ever attract more than the idea that is good? I don't think ISIS will ever win. Their advancements are over areas in the world that are susceptible persuasion, influence, and blind faith. These are areas that have week government, military, and infrastructure to begin with. Areas that don't subscribe (let alone are able) to ruling locally by force. It's not a surprise that ISIS has grown in Syria. Could it grow in the world? I don't think so. A world war, one with combined forces from a few countries, would put an end to it. There's a responsibility for the Middle East to control their own. The West has learned that through endless (decades of) intervention. That's why the world, largely, waits. Liberation is only possible if it's lead by the people that want to be liberated. The border of the control ISIS can have is limited to those that choose not to fight their direct oppression. Evil never wins. ISIS is evil. If they weren't evil they would believe what they believe without forcing the entire world to also subscribe to their ideology. ISIS is greedy, no different from "the evil corporations". That's probably the greatest irony of their reign. Well said. I'll just add that ISIS could be dealt with within a month by razing it to the ground, but Western nations wouldn't allow for that because of human rights, we don't know how many people in that area are civilians that couldn't escape from the terrorists. Also if everybody would be annihilated on ISIS terrains, then that would make more bad blood in the region. |

I hate when they do things like this. But you got to protect the big corporations who lobby the congress, who in term sic the FBI on the file sharers. But I guess they are going to get the people who have no idea what is going on. But I think for every filesharer they nab, there will be thousands more. You cannot stop them all.
Corporations have money and resources to push their ideas in terms of copyrights and how to how to enforce them. But the problem with pirates is that they earn money on fileshare without doing anything in the developing process of the actual game. We want to have freedom in the internet but we should respect someone else's work. |

And I don't care what people say, if we threw the Jews in the ocean it's not going to make the Muslim world like us any more or less. Once Israel is gone then they'll be demanding Spain/Al-Andalus back next, it's just a game nothing more.
lol talk about scaremongering, Israel could turn the entire Middle East to dust if they so wished. There is absolutely no risk of Israel being destroyed, anyone who believes that is just pandering to the Zionist fear factory. Even if the the US did stop providing military aid (which I doubt will ever happen), there is still no Muslim nation that can match Israel's military capability. I wouldn't be so sure about that, look what's happening with the ISIS, I wouldn't underestimate terrorists. And if military aid wouldn't be necessary then Israel wouldn't be asking of it. |

Helping Israel is convenient for US because Israel is an "island" on a difficult terrain. Middle East is difficult for US yet very important because of oil, so having someone in the region that you can relay on is helpful. $4.5 billion a year is a healthy sum but if 70% of that will be used to pump up US military market then that's not a bad deal.

Why is ISIS winning? Maybe because, US is stretchered out and cannot do more?" Maybe because there is no one else to fight them? Or maybe US government is deliberately waiting for ISIS to grow and become bigger threat so that other countries will put their money to fight against ISIS?
And maybe just maybe the US is ISIS meaning they have funded and created them just like they did with osama and the homies. cia do some crazy shit I would not put it past them. ISIS will be 'winning' for as long as the US and other countries want them to. I wouldn't go as far to say that US deliberately created ISIS but there might be some truth in what You are writing. Having constant threat means you can justify spending millions on military equipment, which will make "military group" happy and armaments plants will be busy. Also having a target lie ISIS allows to test some new toys. |

Hmm... but why Turkish government would be helping ISIS? Turkey is aspirating to join EU and is presumably allied to US so why? Trying to frame Russia? But that's way too sloppy to have an effect. Or maybe Turkish government is playing double with US, officially they are supporting US forces but in reality they are Islamic fanatics...

It will not happen until people see it as a reliable investment that will protect their capital in the long term. Even though fiat is collaping, people will still have doubts putting their money into something that will have high possibility ended up the same, unless they see bitcoin giving a steady return. Until that happens, there is no correlation whatsoever.
Agreed. Most of people are afraid of new thing and bitcoin is still very young and new. Many people still don't recognize btc. so for them to invest in bitcoin is impossible. Also the fact that some governments are banning (or planing to ban) btc. in the eyes of many is another argument against crypto currencies. |

I think Bitcoin could be a good thing for Russia but apparently Miedwiediew and Putin think otherwise.
Also the statement of Miedwiediew: "The Internet must be free" and then "Secondly, it should be regulated by a set of rules[...]" is showing how every government is working, they try to convince they are supporting the ideas of free media and free flow of information but on the other hand they want to control what information can be sent through those "free media".
