closeted republican posted:I can't wait until Gaddafi's death day becomes a national day of mourning in Serbia and Russia. They're already in denial over it; just need to wait for them to get to "acceptance" before the tears fall. My grandpa from my mom's side is Russian and he was lecturing me how the protests against Gaddafi are totally stupid and Gaddafi is awesome. Thing is, he was an engineer back in the day who designed the goddam bathyscaphe for the USSR, but apparently simple facts can't get through to him. Oh god this is going to be a fun topic when I visit him. I tried explaining some valid points, but nope, he knows better and supports the Russian media's opinion 100%. I still don't understand how Russia has these weird political views, especially when the evidence and numerous facts state otherwise.

ThePutty posted:Hasn't anyone been told in Russia that the cold war ended 20 years ago? They still have this mentality that Russia > everything else, and thus whoever disagrees with glorious Putin/Medvedev is a traitor/capitalist pig dog/western media supporter. I think it's a carryover from the Soviet era. Much like how a large chunk of our population still calls Russians "reds" unironically. Disagreeing with my mom's Russian side of the family when it comes to politics usually leads to heated arguments full of blind patriotism  vvvThat too vvv awesome-express fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Oct 22, 2011 |

The Iron Rose posted:Don't know if this has been posted about yet, but the US and UK have merged SAS, Delta Force, and SEAL Team assets to make a hunter/killer unit within IS territory. Ok that sounds pretty badass.
