Yes, because the forum was hacked this way. Someone uploaded code hidden inside a picture.

Google COSBY COIN.

Ah, I suppose that it's another forum running with stupid nginx settings. Anyway, I like my current avatar

Yeah another reason why people complain on this forum, that the new forum software is delayed every year. ( I think first ETA was 2011!)

What did I tell you? Compensating! He probably also starred in some vanilla porn

lol.. Putin starred in some vanilla porn? I would have believed if you said that Barack Obama starred in vanilla porn. After all, his mother acted in a few pornographic movies before giving birth to him.

unlimited supply of gas which they take from occupied Siberia,

  Sorry Blah Blah - but could you just elucidate that to which it is you are referring when you say "occupied Siberia" ?  Is this the new black propoganda buzzword angle from the US billionaires hegemony machine, pre private US security firm covert placement in Volgograd ?

  "Occupied Siberia" ? What the fuck you banging on about Blah ?

Just rolling with the news... Russia: Siberian autonomy web page shut down
and
Syberia wants autonomy – Siberian artist: “We give away our resources and get piles of dumb laws in return”

So it seems they even have a few angry natives who survived the initial purges, which I guess means that the Russians are not that different from the US, or Australia, or South Africa, or a lot of other places after all.

Well, yes he did it! Riding a bear barechested!

He never rode a bear. Its a photo shop. It was a horse in the original photo. I think US and the West need to have an enemy to direct public attention there instead of their own economic problems. The funny (or sad) thing is that the economic war they started against Russia is going to hit them back just like a boomerang.

... I think US and the West need to have an enemy to direct public attention there instead of their own economic problems. The funny (or sad) thing is that the economic war they started against Russia is going to hit them back just like a boomerang.

The tit-for-tat trade embargoes are ridiculous. Even if we accept the mainstream Russian position that the West are aggressors and acting on behalf of western oligarchs, Putin's reaction is surely going to be harmful to the Russians.

Nobody forced him to restrict trade with the EU. As a "counter move" it's either stupid and emotional, or he's being cruel and cynical. And/or there are additional factors that are invisible to us lay Internet plebs. By restricting international trade, the Russian government eliminates a lot of foreign competition. On an intellectual level, that sounds about the same as deciding to stop going to the gym or stop doing arithmetic exercises, so that you don't have to experience brain discomfort. Could he really be that emotional? Maybe Putin felt pressured to please the Russians even more, despite already being very popular?

Alternatively, maybe he cynically thought, "if that's what they want, I'll give it to them." ?

Its a reaction to the sanctions that the EU put on Russia. If one group does an action, of course there will be a reaction, which is exactly what we see here. These sanctions are harmful to both the Russian and the European citizens, but in the benefit of the authorities and oligarchs.

Europe and USA is not the world. There are plenty of friendly nations that can provide the gap. Like Brazil, Argentina, South American Countries, Iran, India, China, South Africa and many other that is still friendly to Russia.

Putin is a loser.

Why is everyone shitting their pants about him?

.

Putin is just some guy. He probably has a small penis -- I'm just speculating as to why his wife left him! I'm sure he has a great personality, reasonable taste in extra-sweet Bulgarian wine, and makes tolerable jokes.

What I think "Westerners" are shitting their pants about is not the blond guy himself, but the Russian people who love him so much. They seem so extreme, so dedicated to their country, patriotic, so brainwashed... And soon they will love their dear leader even more, while they starve.

On regards to his wife leaving him, its because of a long standing affair he's had with a woman named Alina Kabaeva, thats why his wife left.
And westerners are shitting themselves because if Russia does something they have to cut welfare spending to provide for military spending.

That is why the BRICS axis is so important. With the recent leadership change in India, this axis is going to be even more important. Russia is in good terms with all the other nations in BRICS (Brazil, India, China, and South Africa).

Russian media did make fun of the male Western leaders' unhealthy attention to Putin's bare chest.

lol... Occuppied Siberia... just like Occupied Texas (snatched from the Karankawa), Occuppied South Dakota (from Sioux), Occuppied New York (from Mohicans), Occuppied Alaska (from Aleuts), and Occuppied California (from the Pomo and Chumash). 

Oh.. forgot the occupied Puerto Rico (Tainos).

You can see the root of such rhetoric coming from the beginning of 1800s from England. An interesting documentary to watch:

Yes, Putin have his own (not very popular in western world) policy, and trying to find alias for it in other parts of the World.
Still, Russian ties with BRICS countries are mostly economical, not political.
This countries have very different politic agenda, so it's hard to excerpt they make some kind of political organisation or group, but in some areas (trade, economy etc.) they will cooperate.
