North Korea did request and accept aid from the UN in 1995. It wasn't a food shortage that killed all those people, it was what happened to the food when it arrived. Apparently some of the food went...

So, Strelkov is using North Korean military strategy? Cool. Our military and our CIA both use Chinese military strategy. One of the best sources is Sun Tzu's book, The Art Of War.



In military...

Correction - What I said isn't totally true. Yeah, I would fight to defend my country but I wouldn't shoot Russians. That's one war I would refuse to fight.



Thanks for the North Korea links....

Saying that K-Pop "sucks" is like saying that cauliflower tastes like dog food. They're both serious understatements and either one could easily be considered more inhumane than waterboarding. But...

His royal family? I thought Osama Bin Laden was an Afghan but if Afghanistan was really primitive then yeah, that doesn't add up. Anyway, that's a lot I didn't know about all that. So he was really...

All I know about that is what I've been told and what I read. Osama Bin Laden was in Afghanistan when it happened and the Afghan government refused to extradite him. The Taliban was letting Al-Qaeda...

Well, I thought it was off-topic but maybe not. I mean, we are discussing the American government so that really means the whole country and not just the political stuff. And hey, if you wanna know...

Then I'll stop asking. But those countries in the link are "feared or imagined". Iraq was not a nuclear power. They did have terrorist training camps but terrorists were caught training in our...

Russia wasn't involved in the Crimean referendum. Russia had a military contract with Ukraine and had every right to protect it's naval base, including sending in troops and hardware. Violent...

Who is this "Axis of Evil"? What country is posing a serious threat to the security of any other country today? Please name the country and explain how it's imminent that they will invade and take...

See iCake's response (^ above).
Did I miss something? Because I really don'r remember Obama, Kerry, McCain, or anyone else in the White House being Canonized. Seriously. So when did God command the...

Well, I do like cold climates but no, I seriously doubt I could get happy living in Alberta or Saskatchewan with their Mennonite culture, lol. Try Washington State. I could probably deal with British...

The Crimeans voted to join Russia. I saw the voting and I saw the ballots. So yeah, they did something. It's Russian soil now and it will be Russian soil forever. Unless Ukraine wants to declare war...

Lol! Well I meant the US but I don't really know which nation is the wealthiest. I made a similar mistake when I wanted to know why the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor...



I don't know. I never...

A lot of Americans and almost all the politicians have their own media source. I think it's called The Jurassic Times. It's as progressive as fossils and it supports all the highly Xenophobic...

The facts of everything that's been happening in Ukraine (and everywhere else in the world) have already been recorded. A million elections can't erase that. And everything I've posted has already...

There's a very clear distinction between admiration and patriotism. For example, the US founders idolized the teachings of a British subject named John Locke. He wasn't an American but he inspired...

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...

I think it's important to spend more time learning the Russian language and the culture but you have a good point. The threads were very disturbing but they were a very valuable lesson about Russian...

It's not easy to know when I'm reading "baby talk" or hardcore stories. The Russian media sources I use are Комсомо́льская пра́вда, Российская газета, Аргументы и факты, and Красная звезда.
And...

The US media is very anti-Russia and the Russian media is very anti-US but at least the Russian media has more information. Mostly I quit reading the US media because:
1. They make serious claims...
