I mean sure, Russia obviously has a ton of propeganda going for it and all that stuff that we in the west find "politically incorrect". But hell, Russia knows how to get shit done and keep up their image as a super power. Aint nobody fucks with putin, aint nobody.

of course

[Nathan_Alexandrov]

Shame Im back in work this week, otherwise I would make the effort to go and see it first hand.

[Honigsenf]

keep up their image as a super power

some mineral deposits, the government monopoly on gas ( with its dependences of other countries),  4 % rate of economic growth and old military equipment
the last swashbuckling against the europe rocket shield was nearly unheard and all know its pure propaganda

super power is a little overstated

Wasnt there some corrupt vote where people were feeding like 32 sheets into the voting machine on camera or something like that?

 :ps: Nathan I'm starting to think your more Russian than Welsh, I mean Russian military videos on the AAF forums, now Russian politics on the Argonath forums. :razz:

[Nathan_Alexandrov]

I would agree with you as I consider myself more Russian than Welsh, not by much though.
