Looks like you criticizing Russia and Russians because you hate Russia and Russians. Moreover you try to show that you are superior in you thoughts than any Russian on this forum(which is funny to look at).
That's just my opinion.

Dare to predict a date? This year, next year, in 10-20 years?

...

Вместо дискуссии по теме просто можно побольнее персонально задеть участника?
Нет, нельзя. Такие посты неприятно читать всем, поэтому я настоятельно прошу воздерживаться от подобного выражения своего мнения. Переход на личности на этом форуме не допускается.

DUKE ORSINO - I know thee well; how dost thou, my good fellow?
CLOWN - Truly, sir, the better for my foes and the worse for my friends.
DUKE ORSINO - Just the contrary; the better for thy friends.
CLOWN - No, sir, the worse.
DUKE ORSINO - How can that be?
CLOWN -
Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me;
now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass: so that by
my foes, sir I profit in the knowledge of myself,
and by my friends, I am abused: so that,
conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives
make your two affirmatives why then, the worse for
my friends and the better for my foes.

@Milanya... nothing serious really... other than observing that the line of separation can be thin indeed - and often purely be based on point of view

I was just pointing out that sometimes a dose of healthy criticism can be more salutary than a mindless praise. If we do not see the flaws we cannot correct them. Denial is not a healthy state of being. (Just a general observation, not about anything or anyone in particular)
