  3. +Andrew Hay I have no nostalgia whatsoever for the Soviet erea. However, Latvia was part of Russia since 1721 and thrived under the Russian Empire.

  4. +Andrew What makes you think that you're a foreigner for me? Maybe you are not. As for the fellow in charge of Russia, he has done a great deal of good for his country, and Russia isn't doing anything to Europe - conversely, Europe is doing damage to Russia and allowing the USA/NATO to build military bases all around the western part of Russia and equipping them with nuclear missiles aimed at Russia, openly threatening Russia. Note that Russia and Putin have zero desire for war, but if attacked it has more than the means necessary to defend itself. Go take your hatred against the guilty parties instead of attacking the innocent ones.

  5. Andrew Hay No, because yours is a totally misguided and even insane theory that is totally divorced from reality.

  6. Andrew Hay All that is besides the point. It is your interpretation and "analysis" that is so totally wrong.

  7. Andrew Hay Italy is riddled with debt, Russia is not. Italy has no natural resources of any import left, Russia has enormous reserves of untapped natural resources. Anyway, there is no point trying to explain things to someone as apparently so obtuse as you are.

  8. +Andrew Hay Early on, Putin found a clever way to deal with the oligarchs. He told them that they could keep their fortune but had to pay income taxes and not get involved in politics, or they had to leave Russia. The wealthiest ones left Russia and became bitter enemies and spread lies about Putin.

  9. Andrew Hay No.
