If only for the not-so-politically-correct part. I seriously think that it is political correctness that caused the end of the Pax Americana.

I don't see anything politically incorrect in that article, it's just stupid.Quote:

It derives from Pax Romana (Peace between nations within the Roman empire). Roman Peace. The author compares USA with the Roman Empire and alludes the fact they share the same fate.Quote:

Change the attitude, not words.
It seems that he has washed a lot of Oligarks/Capitalism there, but i really don't know if that is good for Russians or not after Chudorkovskij-tragedy.
Ходорковский you mean? Why tragedy? A thief has gone to jail. That's not a tragedy at all. (To him, perhaps, and some pro-western hypocrites).Quote:

УК РФ не предусматривает наказания за пользование услугами проституток.

Вообще-то, неплохо прежде всего доказать, что там вообще были какие-то проститутки, и Прохоров имел к ним какое-то отношение. А то ведь французское "правосудие" здесь облажалось немного.
Я конечно могу ошибаться, последний раз во Франции был 4 года назад, но тогда проституция там была вроде как легализована...
Сутенёрство там наказуемо. Петю Листермана надо бы в кутузку.Quote:
