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?

I don't think that US government will allow that to happen. Texas maybe large but the rest of the states wouldn't allow that to happen either because they need "Texas money" to fill US vaults. Also there are elections coming up so that will keep everybody busy for a while, after that new promises, new talking etc. and 4 years later everything begins anew

I would put Stalin and Mao a bit closer to Hitler but other then that the list is what you can expect. Also Einstein is at top which is a bit of surprise, he was no villain but he helped construct nuclear bomb and was a genus but he was no leader like Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela.

I think China can do it but the question is when? USA and USSR had spent huge amount of cash on their space programs and sacrificed many lives in the process that took tens of years. China has the funds and technology (even if its not the best yet) but they don't have as much experience. The purpose of the expedition is quite clear - they want to show the world that China is a world power and can compete with US and Russia.

When an ordinary citizen steals 1000$ he is sent to prison. When ordinary citizen cannot pay his rent his thrown out from his apartment. But when multimillionaire banker is manipulating finances, which affects billions of people around the world, they are just sentenced to fines that will be repaid by costumers anyway.

what are we supposed to be comparing? that page just showed overall numbers not start and end levels. find another world leader who presided over a 500% increase in his nation's wealth in 15 years then we'll talk.


Not the nation but the rich people. Social stratification in Russia is huge, the poor are poorer, the rich are richer and most of the middle class is slowly going down. So yeah if you are in elite you can be happy how thing are, but if you poor or somewhere in the middle its not so good any more.

You think that every country and every person, that thinks different then Putin is either dumb or an agent of US propaganda. Thats ridicules, if Russia is so "healthy" country then why so many European countries (from Eastern Block) are fleeing from Russia? Yes there are those who partner ship with Russia today but that mostly because they are so close that they don't have an alternative.



Compare to other countries

It is up to the Russian nationals to decide whether they want to appreciate President Putin's actions or not. According to the latest opinion polls, Putin is having an approval rating of 85%, something which Obama can only dream about. And I would like to know how you are defining the Russian economy as "poor". They may be poorer compared to Western nations such as Germany and France, but when compared to their neighbors, they are much better off.

Who made that study? In Russia there is a huge propaganda apparatus, so Putin can have even 101% of approval.

nato and the eu are the ones causing instability in eastern europe, do you think russians want to go back to yeltsin times where nato could provide air cover to terrorists against brother orthodox christians and they had to sit there and watch?

russians have always been poorer than western europeans and americans, putin didnt create that. there's a reason his approval ratings are highest among major world leader even during the ruble crash. it is to be commended that the vast majority of russians apart from homosexualists, radical feminists and other traitors value their national honour above material possessions.

Yes every country in Europe is wrong, only Russian dictators are right, even Australia is wrong

Middle East countries also were poor but when they started exporting oil they became rich. Russia despite having one of the largest gas resources and plenty of oil, is still relatively poor.

putin restored dignity and honour to russia, how can you be ashamed of it?

Dignity? Russian nations don't need Putin to do that, they already have great history, many achievements in science and engineering. What Putin did is caused instability in eastern Europe and is making a sister country bleed out. Also Russian economy is poor (for a country so big and with natural resources), financially Russian people ale also quite poor compared to Europe or US.

The greatest irony in all this is that US is responsible for acts of spying on allied countries like Germany, UK, French and others. Now they have balls to claim that no one should be allowed to steal secrets form another? And what about PRISM program? I can bet that US agencies are using internet to spy not only on other countries but also on US citizens as well. Bunch of hypocrites.

I don't think the mentioned two key issues is issues. From the long term, individuals or business will benefit from this clear policies to bitcoin. It will set a good example for the other countries in bitcoin regulation.

I do think security is a key issue. The avarage user cannot even protect his or her email account, let alone a digital wallet potentially containing thousands of dollars. Fool proof security is required for the masses.

I agree, especially that society combines people at different age and knowledge, so we cannot except everyone to know how things work. Also there should be some kind of campaign informing people how things work and why btc is good for them.
3152  Economy / Economics / Re: While banks keep failing, Bitcoin has proven to be reliable on: May 18, 2015, 10:43:38 AM
Bitcoin will rule the next financial system which will be based on blockchain technology.Banks are pro capitalism they are failing because they failed to give some real time benefit to people.Only rich became more rich and corporates became giants with the help of banking system.Bitcoin is hope in this dark time for bright future.

And how do You thing bitcoin will give more riches to the poor or middle class? If you don't have money you cannot do investment, no matter is it dollar euro or btc. If you will have plenty of bitcoin you can use it as dollars for investment or to start your own business. And banks will just adopt btc and will go on, becouse banks are needed, what needs to change is the way banks are over watched and supervised.

Most people are living paycheck to paycheck and thus don't have the luxury of experimenting w/ alternative forms of energy. Usually, you buy a house and just go w/ what is offered. Those who're interested in getting off the grid tend to look into solar panels and stuff.
This is because people chose wrong study paths and do something ordinary in their life. That's their fault. My parents didn't chose something that unique but they did find great jobs (for where we are).
People make irrational decisions when they chose a major.
I'm pretty sure no doctor or person working in IT has problems affording these things.

Here's an example; with the discount it is $330 which isn't expensive.

It depends heavily on the country you are living in. Many people cant go to collage because they need to go to work, not everybody can count on there parents for whatever reason. Also some people choose wrong because education system is ill and cannot help young people in that matter. And of course there are many that actually chose wrong or didn't pay attention to their future.

Some of us may not like USA but the in the modern world are set drastic drop in dollar is dungarees for everybody.

Yes, throw empty handed soldier on tanks and machine-guns and let them fight (in fact that exactly what Stalin did with Red Army).
And if Stalin had helped Poland instead of invading her, then WW2  wouldn't even happen. So please don't write that USA is responsible for Nazi conquering Europe. No offence <^.^>

The Soviets had the largest force of tanks in all of Europe at that time. So please read some history books before making silly arguments (No offence <^.^>). And why should the Soviets help Poland? Poland had antagonized them years earlier, by indulging in various provocations. The Soviets were right in not helping the Poles.

Tanks yes but rifles, machine guns, even pistols were missed. Many Soviet soldiers had to first get weapons on enemy, then they could fight with guns.
And why should US help Soviets?  You just answered it yourself but they helped anyway, so don't write that it didn't made a difference.  (No offence <^.^>)

As for equipment, if $11.3 billion worth of supplies is a small issue then...wow.   Just few hundred trucks is not all that US give to Soviet Union.

If they were so eager to defeat the Nazis, then they should have sent some "real" soldiers to fight them rather than waiting till the end. Equipment was never an issue in the WW2. The number of soldiers was all that mattered. With some extra 5 or 6 million soldiers from the USA, the Nazis would have been defeated much earlier than 1945, and tens of millions of lives would have been saved.

As for the equipment, if US wouldn't help Stalin Soviet Union would fall.

Yeah.. spread your lies. Without a few hundred trucks from the US, the Soviet Union might have even surrendered to the Nazis. Lack of equipment was never an issue for the Soviets. And regarding the execution of Polish officers, I don't give much importance to testimonies from US officers. They have been proven to be serial liers. 

Germans, Americans, British, France, almost every country except for Russia have acknowledged that Soviet Union is responsible for Katyn , yeah lies.

As for equipment, if $11.3 billion worth of supplies is a small issue then...wow.   Just few hundred trucks is not all that US give to Soviet Union.

At the begging it was Stalin who helped Hitler conquer Poland. Later Hitler attacked Soviet Union so Stalin had to fight him, so its quite different to USA. Also Americans were giving supplies to Soviet Union before it was certain Nazi would fail

Stalin and Hitler decided to divide Poland in to two, with the Germans taking the Western portion. This at least helped to save the lives of millions of Poles in the Eastern Poland. The decision by Hitler to attack Stalin ultimately led to his downfall. If the USSR had remained neutral in the war, the Nazis would have conquered all of Western Europe, including the United Kingdom. And giving a few hundred trucks and armored personnel carriers is much different from putting actual soldiers to the battle. Without the soldiers, what you are going to do with the equipment?

Don't make me laugh, Stalin attacked Poles from other side when they were defending from Hitler. Stalin attack on Poland was not to save lives of Poles but to slay them and deport to Siberia to let them die in gulags

It was Stalin who helped Hitler in the first place. Read Army would fail without USA help. In WW2 there where other nations fighting with Hitler, Poles, Baltic Countries, Norway, Yugoslavia, Australia, Czechoslovakia and many others.

If Stalin helped Hitler, then the Americans also did the same. Shameless people trying to take credit for someone else's efforts. Soviet Union fought Hitler for 5 years, and sacrificed 27 million of its citizens. The Americans started fighting only after it was clear that the Nazis are going to be defeated, and joined the Allies only to get a fair share of the post-war loot.

The tank clearly was on breaks due to a driver error, thats why the other tank was unable to pull it, does not make the parade any less classy. Russia + China + India = Rip America

China is playing for herself, now its convenient for them to partnership with Russia but if they feel it would be better to leave her thy would do so.

Russia is a first class military power, and Russia is backed by China and India, whose soldiers marched with Russia’s in the parade.

You mean this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tMvBFgnmY8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQgKxIvHQSg

Russia biggest military trump are nukes, other then that its difficult to say which "class" it is.

So, while the increasingly irrelevant West, absorbed in its own self-importance, snubbed
the celebration of the victory that the Red Army gave them over Hitler,

It was Stalin who helped Hitler in the first place. Read Army would fail without USA help. In WW2 there where other nations fighting with Hitler, Poles, Baltic Countries, Norway, Yugoslavia, Australia, Czechoslovakia and many others.

the three largest countries in the world were present united. Russia has the largest land mass, and China and India, also large land masses, have the world’s largest populations.

You forgot to mention that in the pas years Kim Jong Un was on Russian parade but decided not to be this year.

Consider now the impact on Washington’s vassal states in Europe, the crux of the American Empire. Europeans are aware that two of the most powerful military states in history did not survive their invasions of Russia. Napoleon lost the Grande Army in Russia, and Hitler lost the Wehrmacht in Russia. It has dawned on Europeans that they are being shoved into conflict with Russia in the interest of Washington’s claim to be the World Hegemon. Europeans are accustomed to obey Washington, but when it came to being forced into conflict with Russia, Europeans began to express dissent. Signs of an independent European foreign policy appeared with Merkel and Hollande’s meeting with Putin to resolve the Ukrainian crisis orchestrated by Washington.

After WW2 almost half of Europe was under influence of Russia but somehow today countries like Lithuania Latvia Poland Czech Republic Slovakia Hungary Romania Yugoslavia Bulgaria are quite happy without Soviet Union.
