My name is Olesya.))I understand your...Hello, John. My name is Olesya.))<BR/><BR/>I understand your feelings very well, because I'm also quite patriotic person.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless strong lobbying the expanding of Nato,and some other steps of american administration doesn't look friendly.It begun when Russia was weak! Did you notice it? <BR/><BR/>When someone lied to you more than twice, will you trust this person? I'm sure not. <BR/><BR/>And once again -we don't want war anymore because we have this bitter experience already.<BR/>Russia is not a rapacious bear which is always hunger for someone's blood.<BR/><BR/>When I read foreign newspapers or watch TV I have an awful felling that you don't have the real information like it was in Russia in Soviet times.<BR/><BR/>Concerning the WW2 Stalin was very much afraid of possible competition on the part of talented militaries.<BR/>But our allies didn't hurry to open the second front.The factory's of Henry Ford supplied Hitler' armies with new tires,and repaired their trucks in Switzerland."Standart oil" supplied them with jet fuel for 20 millions dollars...Nothing personal -just business...<BR/>Just some of historical facts .lastochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693705381682951810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259082628352435132.post-5944209486855900622008-09-13T05:54:00.000-07:002008-09-13T05:54:00.000-07:00Iastochka, the only American paranoid and hysteric...Iastochka, the only American paranoid and hysterical regarding Russia is me :) <BR/><BR/> My view of war and peace is far closer to the Russian idea than to the current American idea of war and peace. I do not believe that war and peace are opposites but simply part of life and come and go.<BR/><BR/> I respect Russia greatly. That is why I am so fearful of it and its intentions toward my country. At my core I am an American patriot and I oppose any nation that is hostile to my own.<BR/><BR/> Again, I respect and love Russia but have a deep animosity toward your leadership. Russia is not weak it is strong. America, my country, is much weaker than is apparent on the surface. Your government will prove that in the coming months. <BR/><BR/> But to what end?? To what effect?? That is the question of the hour.<BR/><BR/> John.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345372935462829552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259082628352435132.post-1214246689588541082008-09-11T20:44:00.000-07:002008-09-11T20:44:00.000-07:00I appreciate the sacrifice of the Russian people d...I appreciate the sacrifice of the Russian people during ww2. Also Ukrainians and all the people of the USSR.<BR/><BR/> The Nazis were and are monsters. Unfortunately, some of the dead could have been if avoided if Stalin had not been incompetent in his troop deployments and not allied himself to Hitler in 1939.<BR/><BR/> Hope all is well in Moscow.<BR/> More soon, John.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345372935462829552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259082628352435132.post-38734919631461959862008-09-11T14:03:00.000-07:002008-09-11T14:03:00.000-07:00Hello, John.

The last war in american territory was a long time ago.<BR/><BR/>The World War 2 had come practically to every family in USSR and took away lives of more than 30 million people.It's witnesses are still alive.My mom is one of them.I was born in 1976 nevertheless I feel like it was finished only yesterday.I think this fact is telling...<BR/><BR/>"What are people's thoughts about the US??" <BR/><BR/>Course not any paranoya, or isteria.<BR/><BR/>Concerning american foreign politics it's quite sceptic and arrect for a lot of reasons:war in Iraque;Kosovo;RLS in Czechia,missiles in Poland;the position of american authorities during and after Georgian-Ossetian conflict. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately, the american leadership is not all americans.lastochkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693705381682951810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259082628352435132.post-66228735082331014462008-09-09T03:38:00.000-07:002008-09-09T03:38:00.000-07:00Hello, I am the blog person at ogradyblog that you...Hello, I am the blog person at ogradyblog that you posted a comment upon. Thank you for the comment, I don't receive many :)<BR/><BR/> We disagree as to the Georgian situation although perhaps in unconventional ways.<BR/><BR/> We can argue about that if you like however I am much more interested in the general strategic situation between Russia and the US. I believe it is quite dangerous and in fact explosive with events spiraling out of control by year's end.<BR/><BR/> Here in the US, we Americans, as usual, are as complacent as ever. I believe your leadership knows this all too well. <BR/><BR/> I would like to have a conversation with you about the general atmosphere in Russia and the US. What are people's thoughts about the US?? Is there also an atmosphere of complacency among the people or is there a sense that tensions are rising??<BR/><BR/> Sorry for all the questions.<BR/><BR/> John.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345372935462829552noreply@blogger.com
