[QUOTE=thisispain]It's still too weak, they wouldn't risk the progress they are making with a war. Their spending power is still very limited. Medvedev is focused on Russian social systems.[/QUOTE] What the hell are you talking about? [quote=world web bank]Russia’s short-term economic growth has accelerated above its long term trend, defying weak global conditions. In 2007, the economy grew by 8.1 percent on the heels of high oil prices, robust domestic demand and strong macroeconomic fundamentals. Preliminary data indicate an even faster real growth in GDP and industrial production of 8.7 and 6.2 percent in the first quarter of 2008.[/quote] So long as they make sure it doesn't overheat, they have a booming economy.
[QUOTE=Whatwhat1337]I will say one thing and one thing only: Go Georgia.[/QUOTE] Those fucktards started it.
[QUOTE=Whatwhat1337]I will say one thing and one thing only: Go Georgia.[/QUOTE] Georgia started it but I see why you say that.
[QUOTE=Dr_Chippay]Sorry, that doesn't make the bullshit you said any less wrong. Nice try though.[/QUOTE] What? Their capital is like 50th in the world. Where do you suggest they tromel up soldiers and battlefield equipment from?
[QUOTE=Toline]Those fucktards started it.[/QUOTE] So what? They can end it.
[QUOTE=Toline]Those fucktards started it.[/QUOTE] I was under the assumption that it wasn't clear who started it.
-snip- I was very wrong.
[QUOTE=Dr_Chippay]You really should stop talking about politics. You don't know what you're talking about.[/QUOTE] I know a bit about what I'm talking about.
[QUOTE=John Edwards]War creates alot of profits[/QUOTE] Rarely for the countries involved, mercenaries can make a pretty penny, but in order to maintain the military superiority needed to win a war comfortably (like the invasion of Iraq) it costs such a silly amount of money that invading for financial reasons is about the dumbest thing on earth.
[QUOTE=thisispain]What? Their capital is like 50th in the world. Where do you suggest they tromel up soldiers and battlefield equipment from?[/QUOTE] Maybe their 140 million strong population? They still have the draft. I thought you were a lot more intelligent before this thread. My innocence has been shattered.
Nations are suppose 2(smartness) be in debt, this shit is normal.
[QUOTE=Bitores]What the hell are you talking about? So long as they make sure it doesn't overheat, they have a booming economy.[/QUOTE] I don't know, maybe I should sleep more. I'm usually a bit sharper.
[QUOTE=Toline]Those fucktards started it.[/QUOTE] Russia is the one who invaded Georgia. They started the Georgian conflict, Georgia started the Ossetian conflict.
[QUOTE=Dr_Chippay]Maybe their 140 million strong population? They still have the draft. I thought you were a lot more intelligent before this thread. My innocence has been shattered.[/QUOTE] Zing.
[QUOTE=Mikedestruct]Seriously, I know Marx fundamentally created communism, therefore he says no economy.[/QUOTE] And that's probably all you do know. [quote]An economy is the realized social system of production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and services of a country or other area[/quote] I think it's obvious you don't know the basic tenants of marxism. It's difficult to argue against it without.
[QUOTE=God of Ashes]which is why the U.S is in a half trillion dollar debt because of the war were in right now right[/QUOTE] nation profit =/= business profits
[QUOTE=Dr_Chippay]Russia is the one who invaded Georgia. They started the Georgian conflict, Georgia started the Ossetian conflict.[/QUOTE] Oh, Didn't know that.
[QUOTE=Dr_Chippay]Maybe their 140 million strong population? They still have the draft. I thought you were a lot more intelligent before this thread. My innocence has been shattered.[/QUOTE] Let's talk about Ayn Rand instead?
[QUOTE=Kilr]Yeah, because none of that debt existed before we went to war.[/QUOTE] That's debt due to Afghanistan and Iraq. That's doesn't include any other debt you have.
[QUOTE=Kilr]Yeah, because none of that debt existed before we went to war.[/QUOTE] Actually before Bush was elected we weren't in all that much debt.
[quote]riginally Posted by Dr_Chippay: Maybe their 140 million strong population? They still have the draft. I thought you were a lot more intelligent before this thread. My innocence has been shattered.[/quote] [b]RUSSIA ONLY HAS 140 MILLION PEOPLE?![/b] America beat you commies again!
[QUOTE=Arachnidus]I was under the assumption that it wasn't clear who started it.[/QUOTE] It's getting down to a shitfest of accusations, but it's looking more and more like Georgia went in over their collective heads.
[QUOTE=Bad)-(and]That's debt due to Afghanistan and Iraq. That's doesn't include any other debt you have.[/QUOTE] Debt without those wars is like 4.5 trillion isn't it?
[QUOTE=thisispain]What? Their capital is like 50th in the world. Where do you suggest they tromel up soldiers and battlefield equipment from?[/QUOTE] Maybe this was just a tired mistake (or I misread) but Russia is sitting quite nicely on 11th in the world in terms of GDP, and 6th in terms of purchasing power. Shit got turned around big style.
[QUOTE=thisispain]Let's talk about Ayn Rand instead?[/QUOTE] Anthem was a good book.
[QUOTE=God of Ashes]Actually before Bush was elected we weren't in all that much debt.[/QUOTE] Uh-huh.
[QUOTE=Toline][b]RUSSIA ONLY HAS 140 MILLION PEOPLE?![/b] America beat you commies again![/QUOTE] According to wikipedia it's 142 million. They're using population at an extraordinary rate though. I once read a story that said it was around a million a year, but that seems much too large.
[QUOTE=Mikedestruct]Seriously, I know Marx fundamentally created communism, therefore he says no economy.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/index.htm[/url] Try reading this before you go on about Marx / Communism.
[QUOTE=KillerTV]Maybe this was just a tired mistake (or I misread) but Russia is sitting quite nicely on 11th in the world in terms of GDP, and 6th in terms of purchasing power. Shit got turned around big style.[/QUOTE] I don't know anymore, decide from here [url]http://www.imf.org/[/url]
[QUOTE=Bitores]It's getting down to a shitfest of accusations, but it's looking more and more like Georgia went in over their collective heads.[/QUOTE] Oh, then there's still hope that this won't get worse.
