At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square.!

Will remember you all.

Thought about it??

Dreaming about it!

IDK if I'll be able to hustle the gear though. But similar gear could make it, eventually, hopefully.

Russia is a capitalist country, it is perfectly capable of being included in the global market, but it is forbidden to so it must try to survive with the rest of rising powers + the second/third world countries as a matter of consequence. Its all part of an economical war that originate from the WW2, with the first cold war, then the de-escalation after USSR dissolution and the second cold war we have today (which could also include China and USA soon over south china conflicts, maybe China and Russia are going to be BFF before any solution appears ).

No it is not. I suggest you go there and see. There's practically nothing Russia produces, except raw materials and weapons developed during Soviet times that the rest of the world wants. Such excuses that they are the victims of an economical war, and that's why they have their situation is dangerous as fuck. The sanctions are a recent thing and a direct response to Ukraine crisis.

On paper it should be prospering and growing fast: 140 million people, incomparably vast resources. Decent education levels and little inner turmoil, with a lot of unity.

Two weeks in Russia for me, was enough to see glaring signs of why it's not so. Believe me when I say that having strong vertical structures in society. Where the powerful wield and will use any power they have to ruin your life. It's a system that produces and reproduces lies, corruption, scheming, to the point it becomes a part of everyday life, and a necessity to survive. The people that bubble to the top in such a system are the most scheming lying psychopaths imaginable. For a "good" person in such a society, the best you can do is try to stay invisible, and not come up with any good ideas, not do anything they can hang you for, for whatever reason they invent.

I don't blame the average Russian, I really don't. I blame the system that is geared and oiled for this abuse, producing people, leaders and mentalities that carry this system on.

And now you think that the west is also a bit like this. Maybe yes, it's not perfect. But our problems are NOTHING compared to what they experience there. Seriously, if you are a Russian patriot, if you love Russia, standing by in silence watching this horror not getting fixed is the worst you can do.

It sounds like you have friends or family in Russia. Take a moment to think about their probably absurd problems, their struggles to get relatively simple things done, their stories of obscene power abuse. This is the reason they are backwards, that's there is little change or development, that it is not a dynamic society.

I agree that both US and Russia are fighting under the table to win countries in their own sphere of influence, in a back and forth that mostly benefited NATO in the last decades; and the Baltics could fell prey to this too, but if it happens it could be a mostly bloodless election/revolution that has apparent legality (like with Ukraine) and a change of political heads as you said.

If u've ever been to the Baltics, it's more like please please please take us away from Russia and protect us! Remember they know what they are talking about..

You gotta also think about the fact that its natural to believe that, since Bandera and far-right BS is real back there, there is a chance the rest of the "rumors" are true.

The most extreme guys didn't get many votes in the election. RF propaganda is saying they are all chocolate chip cookies, because they need to convince the average russian that Ukraine is now the enemy. I think they would anyway shamelessly say anything plausible in their own twisted world view. MH17 was a great example of how the spin was at its most ridiculous.

And Ukraine is at war. Just a little flame that RF can turn up whenever they feel like, as they have done in the past.

2 years ago I thought the bandera thing was slightly fake...

I meet some Ukrainians now and then here in Poland, none of them have been chocolate chip cookies, but a couple have been pretty backwards when it comes to gay people and also display pretty blunt racism. I'm not excusing the chocolate chip cookies, but you need to have two thoughts in the head: One is that it's the same in Russia. Another is that Ukraine is a nation at war, desperately scrambling for national identity and heroes. If you compare the two countries and their nationalism, it looks pretty similar in every way except for the symbols..

Now to see nationalism in Eastern Europe, and the way it's displayed is pretty absurd and depressing. No, I'm not talking Oberyn style skepticism to taking in immigrants (I don't think he would raise an eyebrow over Poland of 40 million accepting 2000 immigrants.), but plain open old neochocolate chip cookies, borrowing tons of symbology from chocolate chip cookie Germany (Who ironically wanted to kill or enslave most of Eastern Europeans slavs..) I guess Nationalism is a sort of last resort for many people. When they have lost their opportunities (for reals not imagined), the easiest thing is to blame others. (And sometimes it can be part of the truth, but not all the time, and not for everyone.)

So the Ukrainians blame the Russians, the Russians blame the west, the west blames the immigrants, and the muslims blames the Americans, who blame the blacks. All of them are partly right, but most of all, they should take a hard look at their own societies first.

It's circus for the masses. It's a way to show how "important" he is (several helis), as well as legit and reasonable security measures.

I also don't believe in any war with the Baltic states, the west would never allow this, and RF would gain nothing.

My main concern about Russia is Russia itself, and their internal politics. If such huge nation doesn't progress, but continues its corrupt mafiesque system, you risk isolation in mind and economy. They already have massive braindrain, a few oligarchs own it all. It's all pretty sad for 140 million people + nations under their influence. I don't believe Putin is able to, or even want to begin transitioning to a modern state. Putin will not attack the Baltics, but if the country continues to deteriorate, perhaps an eventual successor will.

I'm not even saying Russia should or could be a normal democracy here, but you need a level of free press, you need people being accountable by their crimes, and you need a fair and functioning court system. (just couple of weeks ago, a Norwegian businessman was expelled from Russia labeled "spy" after running a successful cement business for years:http://thebarentsobserver.com/industry/2016/07/successful-norwegian-businessman-expelled-russia )

I think the siege mentality is very destructive, almost a psychosis on a national scale. Meant to distract people from the everyday failings of the system, while the oligarch elite sucks out as much blood and gold as they can from the country.

They talk about Russophobia, but I have seriously never met anyone critical of RF culture itself. They have great music/arts, great history, great jokes and are very warm and welcoming people.

Did I say that?  No, I said that if I were in a situation such as has been described I would have a greater chance of successfully defending myself with a pistol than without one.  I agree that a greater amount of guns available means that the chance of encountering an individual with one is greater.  However in one on one crime a knife will kill just as well as a gun.  Statistics are a cold comfort at that point.

Guns are superior for killing in any environment. There are also guns made for any environment. Or you would see special forces raiding hijacked planes with machetes. Machete urban combat etc.

Nah Poles think it's dangerous in France. While in Poland, people drive so recklessly, and also drunk drive a lot, I bet, (without checking), that the traffic fatalities are way higher than France. Probably even making up for terror related deaths.

But they do cherish and love, to cultivate the idea that Poland is so safe.

Just checked the numbers. Seems France have roughly HALF the road fatalities per pop. That means that French driver attitudes would save roughly 2000 polish lives per year. (Yes also better roads, cars etc.. but it doesn't make up all the difference. )

So I can safely say people in Poland would be much safer in France.
