That dosn't sound so bad then. I get that around here sometimes, but it's not horrible.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;31527798]-15? That dosn't sound so bad then. I get that around here sometimes, but it's not horrible.[/QUOTE]I live by the west coast in southern Sweden (in a big city, too) so it doesn't get much colder here.
[QUOTE=DarkCisco;31494835]Putin wasnt alive during the siege of stalingrad[/QUOTE] Damn you are right yeah.. his family went through it.
[QUOTE=Ond kaja;31527883]I live by the west coast in southern Sweden (in a big city, too) so it doesn't get much colder here.[/QUOTE] I live in the Chicago area. Nearby Lake Michigan lowers the overall temperature and adds a lot of extra snow during the winter.

[QUOTE=Marbalo;31487468]Not to mention the debt itself it tiny compared to the US. Russian debt is estimated at - 480,200,000,000 Dollars. American debt is estimated at - 14,300,000,000,000 Dollars.[/QUOTE] Yes but the US has a way higher GDP and population.
Putin's right in a sense.
Wait so other nations are extremely dependent on the American economy, so wouldn't they be more parasitic than the US?
[QUOTE=amute;31529024]It was a socialist state, somewhere in the lines of the dictatorship of the proletariat which wasn't communism.[/QUOTE] i was under the assumption that the dictatorship of the proletariat was a critical stage of marxism, which was the original theory of communism.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;31531789]Wait so other nations are extremely dependent on the American economy, so wouldn't they be more parasitic than the US?[/QUOTE]You can be dependant on other economies for a lot of different reasons.
UK should annex the USA
[QUOTE=Marbalo;31529559]It wasn't even that either :v:[/QUOTE] I said somewhere along the lines, it really wasn't. [editline]5th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dr_Funk;31538925]i was under the assumption that the dictatorship of the proletariat was a critical stage of marxism, which was the original theory of communism.[/QUOTE] It's not communism, it's the transition stage to communism. Same with Socialism. [editline]5th August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;31531789]Wait so other nations are extremely dependent on the American economy, so wouldn't they be more parasitic than the US?[/QUOTE] In contrast, the US' economy is practically owned by China.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31493741]We have 310 million people, they have 142 million, of course we have more people in prison you idiot.

They own something like 7% of US debt...If anything China is owned by the US as their economic "growth" is built upon American-given jobs and investments.

Frankly speaking, the Russian cops might rob you and there's cases where they have killed or arrested people for cash so basically they are pretty crooked. This thread is also loaded with pissed american patriotism right now.
Hey, hey guess what. Both countries are horrible with money.
Russia can talk when we stop getting shot at by Soviet hardware. Until then, fuck off.
If you're talking about Afghanistan, it was the CIA who funded a lot of those weapons for the Mujahideen, with Osama Bin Laden as the go between man.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;31531789]Wait so other nations are extremely dependent on the American economy, so wouldn't they be more parasitic than the US?[/QUOTE] No, because the US, and US controlled multilateral organizations like the WTO and the WB forced alot of companies to globalize and become dependent and one another.
[QUOTE=Mort and Charon;31555804]If you're talking about Afghanistan, it was the CIA who funded a lot of those weapons for the Mujahideen, with Osama Bin Laden as the go between man.[/QUOTE] The Taliban are also using weapons such as G3s, Lee-Enfields and others. Maybe GunFox should tell Germany and Britain and fuck off since ISAF is getting shot at by British and German weapons, out of the many other small arms used by the Taliban.
[QUOTE=GunFox;31552024]Russia can talk when we stop getting shot at by Soviet hardware. Until then, fuck off.[/QUOTE] And America can whine when they stop supplying third-world dictatorships and violent countries with American hardware. Until then, fuck off. [editline]5th August 2011[/editline] I also hope you're not talking about Afghanistan or the like.
I read that he bent a frying pan with his bare hands to show off in front of supporters.
