Medvedev blames U.S. for world financial crisis

Quote from Michael88:

I dont have comments on his speech especially, I am not at the kremlin to know if there was a logic behind this speech.
But you have started the thread about the speech and made a conclusion about geopolitical role of Russia based on speech.

Excuse me, but I do not see logic in your answer.

How would you define "wise play" BTW?

yg10 : "made a conclusion about geopolitical role of Russia based on speech"

It wasnt a conlusion it was a "remark"

yg10 : "wise play" BTW

If they reinvest the oil money in building a strong economy and try to fix the corruption, then yes they have a chance.

I dont say they will, but they have a chance... and if they succeed, then they might be key player in the future. I admit its a "small" chance, but you cant say its not there.

If you disagree with my "remark", let me know I will be very happy to have my eyes open thanks to your feedback.

Have a good week end yg10 :)

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev blames U.S. for world financial crisis

The aggressive financial policies of the United States push more and more people into poverty around the world, according to the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

He made the statement during a speech at the 12th International Economic forum in St. Petersburg.

That's rich, coming from the president of a country whose government collectively enslaved and impoverished their own and Eastern Europe's population for most of the post WWII period. If it wasn't for the USA, we'd all be queuing in line and waiting 8 years for our Ladas at the local Communist Party branch.

Considering Russia defaulted on its sovereign debt a mere decade ago, Medvedev really should stop calling the kettle black.
 
Quote from Michael88:



"Most people on the planet have become poorer."

World GDP growth from 2000-2007, whilst the US laboured under an expensive war and an economic illiterate president Bush, averaged about 4%.

Perhaps Medvedev can remind us what communist bloc GDP growth from 1945-1990 was? That's if Putin will let him.
 
Quote from Jayford:

Only because of energy prices. A deep US recession, followed by tumbling energy prices would absolutely crash the ruble again.

Why? cause 80% of their economy is based on fuel exports. They have a rapidly expanding consumer economy, but mainly just contained to Moscow (now the most expensive city in the world) and St Petersburg. This still has its base in fuel prices however.

They also have a problem of a rapidly declining population.

As for the mail order Ukrainian brides, I met a guy in Finland that married one. Absolutely gorgeous, and sweet as could be. Until after they were married, at which time she morphed into a controlling, money hungry monster. when she had residency, and he refused to spend huge on her, she rapidly obtained a divorce. from what I hear, this is the rule more than the exception.

If ya want a mail order bride, marry a Thai!

Thais mail-order brides will be just the same. C'mon, don't be naive - women are women, gold-diggers are gold-diggers. You can take the ho out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the ho.

As for your other points, the main problem Russia faces is stuff like endemic corruption, lack of property rights, ineffective rule of law etc. Do you see the average Russian benefiting from the giant commodity boom? Or is it just a few rich, connected, decidedly shady insiders in business and government? It's not the regular Ivans who are making hay.

As Confucius said "“In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.”

The reason why Russia defaulted on its debt ten years ago is because of the Jewish mafia Berezovsky, Abramovich et al robbed the treasury with the aid of the CIA and MI5 sponsored alcoholic Yeltsin.

The west installed him so they got what they paid for. It's not Russia's fault that the Russian Jews ripped off their cousins in the West!

Just admit it. Life in Russia these days is better. I've been to both countries this year and I don't see the homelessness there anywhere near the extent as in Los Angeles, New York etc.

They defaulted because Yeltsin was an incompetent drunk, and the rest of the elite (mostly slavs, not jews) were too busy pillaging the state sector and sending it to their Swiss bank accounts.

As for the state of the country, take a non-white friend to Russia, then get back to me on that one.

I hear there are no homeless in Oz , as they quickly get eaten by the Aborigines or the wild dogs.

In Eastern Europe there were no homeless and there were not unemployed. Have you been anywhere else besides big city in Russia you stupid fuck?? First post I read and it must be so retarded that I get pissed off immediately.
