The new line between St Petersburg and Moscow has cut travel time from around 10-12 hours to under 4. Speeds reach over 225 mph. New lines from Moscow to Kazan are in progress, as well as other lines connecting major cities.

The cost was little more than a few short segments of US “high speed” that connects to nothing and has no real plans to ever actually function. #USRailFail

Mega infrastructure projects in Russia are almost too numerous to mention

Including his private rail line to his Black Sea palace. Who’s the richest guy in Russia? Yeah. That one.

Meanwhile, east of Moscow hasn’t got an in door toilet.

"Well, at least the trains ran on time......"

Todor wants an answer but notice that he never answers when asked why he so loves and is obsessed by Russia, Russia, Russia!

Russia became an arch-enemy after WWII and a central figure in the axis of evil. Almost every child of my generation remembers the drills: hiding under desks, sitting in hallways, head tucked between knees, fearful that the world was going to end at any moment. That kind of conditioning is hard to overcome, and I think we see that in several cases here.

Until Iraq and Afghanistan, every war or military action we involved ourselves in during the 20th century pitted western democracy against communist tyranny. I'm 67 years old and have just relatively recently come to understand that the need to sate the ravenous appetite of the MIC has been the underlying cause of most of the conflicts we've been involved in, and communism—bad as it is—was the boogeyman our government told us was hiding under our very beds.

I have been vehemently anti-communist, and I remain so, but I don't see Russia as the dominant threat we face today. So many are focused on Russia Russia Russia that they fail to recognize the real enemy at the gate, which is the CCP. Well, they and our own uniquely evil American left.

The CCP and Russia fuel our evil left if you haven’t noticed. Russia is very much still an enemy of the US. Our media, higher education and Hollywood are anti American because of their meddling.

Pro Tip- if someone has different ideas than you, it’s always wise to try to figure out where they are coming from. And usually, all you have to do is ask!

Your snarky bull**** is meaningless because people DO ask you, in almost every one of these nonsense threads - what is your background, why are you so Russia happy, and what is your motivation for all these threads? Tiger just asked you straight up in the previous post and you ignored it. So here, again, since "all we have to do is ask!":

What is your background?
Why do you post Russia threads almost weekly?
What is your motivation to do so?
What do you want to convince this "audience" of?

You can answer each one directly. It will be easy.

Id like to know this too

You may be 100% right, but it is also fair to question your motivation

How about because frick you.

I agree with a lot ye says. Russia is not our enemy. The s soviet union lost. Period.

Our country has zero moral high ground. None. It once did. It doesnt

Thats the thing with message boards, you aint gotta click.

Russia hadnt done one damn thing to me. The EU, WEF, china, prog filth pedo democrats, and the aholes in Ukraine bleeding us dry are my enemies. Why didnt the aholes in Ukraine prepare after we overthrew their government

Who cares about todors motivation.

Yall need to figure out who the bad guys are. Todor not heing a sheep doesnt make him one

Meanwhile our retard president cant climb stairs.

Sanctions are a bust. Putin is an evil bastard. Both things can be true.

Different people, different times but I do remember Reagan’s Star Wars didn’t have any effect on the Rooskie’s. Until it did. There is no telling what is really going on in Russia.

Still waiting to hear what’s worse now than when Putin became President. Why won’t people just list all of the metrics that are down during his presidency.

Still waiting for you to answer all the direct questions you were asked. See? It works both ways.

Pretending you won’t address the topic of a thread that you keep coming back to because you “require” me to do something for you first. That’s rich.

I didn’t post the thread to actually get answers from random people. I posted it because I knew no one would be able answer it, and I just wanted to highlight that fact.

For those keeping track, the thread is over 50 posts, almost 1000 views, multitudes of excuses, numerous attempts to change the subject, but no attempts to actually address the topic of the thread yet.

You started the thread, please list all his great accomplishments so we can all learn.

I would imagine all the soldiers fighting and dying in a senseless war would say their lives are worse off.

Nope, I don't know crap about Russia. Please enlighten me, I'm genuinely interested in learning.

I would suggest cracking a book instead lurking around threads that aren't focused on your enlightenment. I tried to make the title of the thread self explanatory.

With the above said, perhaps if you bothered the read the thread, you would see that I gave example after example after example after example and you didn’t comment on any of those things. Now you say I should “enlighten” you?

Perhaps if you brought forth a little more aptitude and a little less attitude, you might become a little more enlightenment without any further assistance required from me? I can only do so much.

The title of the thread is a question. A question that you are refusing to answer. I lurk around message boards, because they sometimes provide unique perspectives from different people all around the country and the world. I find this useful, as I personally feel any given issue/problem can't be fully understood without having a strong understanding of the perspective of those being affected.

Read the thread then. It’s there. You just won’t read it.

If you have no answer to my question, then I guess this thread just isn’t for you. You haven’t contributed anything yet except a bunch sass.

Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for someone to start naming things.

Here’s yet another example. Life was getting shorter. Putin became President, life expectancy started improving again. Why do you think that is?
