Thread: USA government gone rogue (well... not exactly. L.)

Если бы в зарубежных СМИ эта трагедия объективно освещалась, я бы ничего сюда не тащил. Я считаю, что студенты, изучающие русский язык, должны знать точку зрения людей, живущих в России, на эти события. Нельзя жить как страус, засунув голову в песок, и делать вид, что нас это не касается.

The biggest employer of people with skills in Russian in the USA is the CIA.
(Followed by the Military, I imagine.) Wouldn't want the future employees of the CIA to have their indoctrination challenged in case they should find their way here, now, would we?
Let them "learn" about Russian politics at Radio Liberty!

What got into you, I thought you enjoyed the political forum and the debate? Well good luck with the verbs....

I have picked up my Russian language studies and yes, sure the Political Forum is a huge distraction. But to be honest the way the world is moving lately, the political aspect has become one of the reasons I want to learn Russian.

Didn't expect it, but my re-awakened interest in Russian language and culture after a 15 year hiatus happened to co-incide with plenty of political and international events where I find myself sympathising much more with the values Russia stands for, than the Western ones.

What got into me is 2 more weeks with lots of exams. I'll still be reading current events threads but I won't have much free time to join in till after May 23rd. And I totally do agree. All the Russia bashing and lies in the Western media totally is unnecessary and counterproductive. There's just so many cool things I see in Russia that I never see here.
