To be fair, in both cases you cited, I was replying to another person's comment.
Neverthless, point taken.
Though I must add that I am not sure why I am the one singled out to be upbraided for a...

Russia Bashing Is A Dead End - OpEd

Back on topic, I especially enjoyed this op-ed written by the former Director of Defense Policy Studies at the Cato Institute:

Maybe you misinterpret my frustration for "hate."

I hate to say it, but yeah, I do believe that the majority of people are suckers. Not just Americans either. It's just that Americans - by and large - do not seem to realize that they have been...

I think that some of the propaganda is intentional. But some of it is just "playing to the crowd." They play up the stereotypes because it sells, plain and simple. They know that if there is...

Sorry, Medved... so many years of working as a journalist have changed the way I write. Technically, maybe I should have used a "the" and said "the US" but in news writing we often say "US" without...

If as many as 1/2 of the population are not brainwashed, I would be very pleased (and surprised). Unfortunately I think most people are fairly brainwashed. Not just in the US, but everywhere...

Doomer, it doesn't matter what the topic is. Some people are here for the sole purpose of insulting others. If all someone wants to do is troll other members of the forum to dish out insults, it...

Then why is there a whole section for politics? No one is forcing you to participate in this thread, Doomer. Least of all me.

I've been insulted many times during discussions about language as well. So no, forcing everyone to speak Russian only or only discuss linguistics will not stop rudeness. Rudeness will only stop...

At least you admit there is brainwashing on both sides. A lot of Americans don't believe they are brainwashed at all.

I think Lampada does a great job. If she did not moderate, these discussions would quickly turn into a litany of name calling and childish nonsense. If that is what people want, maybe they should...

Thank you for that link! Fascinating.

I think Putin should tell McCain:

TEAR DOWN THAT MEXICAN WALL!

:ROFL:

The funniest (and saddest) thing about McCain's little rant is that he THOUGHT he was publishing it in the Soviet-era Pravda (which no longer exists). This is how outdated his thinking really is! ...

UhOhXplode, to answer your question, I am not able to access comments on that article either. Could be that their server is just busy with too many replies.

Here is Senator John McCain's editorial in Pravda.ru:

Senator John McCain: Russians deserve better than Putin - English pravda.ru

To me, it sounds like the kind of Cold War rhetoric which...

This discussion made me think of this song...

You and me are the same
We don't know or care who's to blame

It was Mark Twain: "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damn lies, and statistics." As a journalist, one of my favorite quotes. And I agree with what you say about polls being extremely...

All I know is that every day I hear anti-Russian and anti-American sentiments and it makes me sad to see us sinking back into another cold war. It feels like the last one never really ended, to be...

So, is it too soon to say our countries may be entering into another Cold War period?

These two articles published by the Russian news service RIA Novosti got me thinking about it.
