  1. I heard it said that, "socialism is too boring; capitalism is too exciting" (or maybe I made that up); but the question "Why is Russia So Crazy?" is a loaded question and the destruction of Dresden that was us (the allies); if you win it's not called a war crime and currently Russia isn't crazy; it's very angry and it's at war. Maybe it's: high levels of student debt; large medial bills; towering national debt, making people crazy? Oh no wait, that would be America. Maybe it's with the state instead covering these and the utility bills too; subsidizing the transport network; they don't need to pay you much. There's no shortage of bread and Vodka; but it's boring. In other words it's not easy to start a business, or take foreign holidays on (say) $200/month; there are no casinos; they let their "oligarchs" walk off with billions (of largely IMF bailout money). Just don't get into politics they said and they jailed the one that tried (reputed to be Russia's richest man); asset stripped him and now he appears on the msm news complaining. All I can tell you is that Russian and American society view money entirely differently. As for Russia being short of creative talent; I would say that is a myth the msm like to push, I don't know how much longer that will stand up to close scrutiny; but they put the first satellite in space; built the tallest hotel in the world (on loam); they have their own social media; punk music scene; but LGBT is not open for discussion. Officially everyone is heterosexual. I'd go as far as saying that trying to judge other cultures/societies by our rules/standards doesn't work; also they're clearly not interested and run by gangsters; the msm they can talk. I don't believe banning LGBT marches affects Russian creativity; it's similar to the Western morality of the 1950's; gambling is viewed as immoral; in the early 1990's Moscow was virtually run by gangsters; the mobsters from the breakaway states (including Ukraine; Georgia; Chechnya and of course Russia); it was like Chicago 1930's in the movies... and I was there. So I like the Russian people; while I hate the msm and paid killers; one for profiting from peddling misinformation which I regard as evil; the other for also not caring a jot about people. Still, I'm shocked; I never thought about it before; Bryan Callen I believe is correct, there were no old men! At this time it seems America (Western interests) want Germany to deploy tanks in Eastern Europe; it looks profitable, but maybe look at pictures of Stalingrad before deciding how angry Russia will be. The msm have spent years talking smack about Russia (Russia-gate?!); they back two right-wing parties; have never seen a war they don't like; lied us into two wars (I believe); if they are looking for a World War, well Germany and Russia are the go-to nations. If we want to know about superpowers wrecking countries we could very well ask America (our sponsors); Russia wasn't going to let the EU buy their leased port facilities in Crimea from under them; tanks on the modern battlefield won't last long; but the msm talking about the suffering of people (it's an insult); they love money; but msm talk of World domination (is it not the globalists; their sponsors, trying that?). By the size of the forces deployed; Russia has hardly started; they don't accept the promises of the Western interests, I believe Ukraine agreed to be neutral after Russia took their nukes out; if that's true then Russia is responding with righteous indignation; so careful there!. Russian elections; they have eight parties; China and Ukraine have one each; America and UK have, in effect, two parties; one always wins; some groups back both. Until Assange is released; Snowden gets a pardon; I'm not interested in the fate of journalists; colour me cynical, but I don't believe the msm stories (and for some time). Only Russia and Ukraine will resolve this, best avoided; meanwhile back at the ranch, rising debt; inflation; falling life expectancy, so where's our "lethal aid"? While Joe ribs Brian about Russia (where the legal system takes 7 years); it was us that bombed Dresden; dropped nukes; declared Russia to be the enemy after sacking Berlin. "There were no old men" (I'm still in a state of shock); how did I not notice that. I know how you get weed out there Joe (they're just like us, in some respects; Russian punk rock doesn't seem to sell in the West; Moscow is a stunning city, the Metro a work of art, got lost first time; couldn't read the writing). Let us dispense with some msm myths: Russia is not weak and trying to take over the world (both can't be true); they don't blow up their own undersea pipelines instead of turning them off; so they know someone else did and sending billions to corrupt countries in the face of a cost of living crisis... it sounds like something gangsters would do (but you didn't hear that from me, okay?)
