    Russia blames US for current world crisis

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/27513524/for/cnbc/ Well, yes. But Russia never blamed (thanked) the USA for Russia's meteoric energy driven economic success. AT the end of the day its all a relative game. If energy prices get crunched further you might find Russia commiting some other sort of...

    why is Russia so afraid???

    Off the topic of this thread a little. But check out this youtube link from around 5 months ago. This in my mind proves Russia's true aggressive intentions in Georgia. Like and trust certain Russian individuals and friends, yes. However, never trust the Russian nation, never, it is like a...

    What $100 BILLION can buy you...

    Shaqi, I am sure Humpy was referring to the tribal ways and africanisms that when combined with modernisation and attempts at democracy spoil Africa, rather than anything genetic. Take away a white baby from Europe and bring it up in africa tribe it will have tribal ways and visa versa.
