Why everyone forgot that many newspapers and news outlets once tried to take money for their info and miserably failed moreover some of them started as paid services. It was less than a decade ago. Only true news generators like AP, Reuters, etc can take money for their premium content even if it's news only. I don't see what possibly should happen to change this.

My first thought was about Eiffel Tower. It's the strangely skewed world in the poll limited by 10mln.sq.km. only. To become a joke it has one wrong answer. :)

A good rant, Ashika! Too bad it's a lack of facts. So let me fill the gap.
Once Russia pulled out of Chechnya. The result - no law zone, the rampage of people abduction and borders attacks, and finally, the thugs from Chechnya invaded neighboring Dagestan in an attempt to annex it.
http://www.nationmaster.com/country/rs-russia/imm-immigration The numbers are positive.
Personally, I believe that country cannot have friends countries aren't individuals. What Russia needs is to have less haters.
P.S. Selling weaponry to Iran violates no international law. Please, don't confuse U.N. with U.S.

I don't see any problem at all. If a domain is written in a language different from English it's meant to users who know and use this language. The only nuisance probably is email.

Really? Does Russia violate the non-proliferation treaty? Why it's not in headlines?! Ah, IEAE finds nothing wrong with building nuclear plants... It's all about uranium enrichment. Well, does Russia help build uranium enrichment facilities? No. Question closed. Let's paranoia go.

Calm down, please. Now you can trust and leave your bunker - Russia not commie for 20 years at least. :)
Don't try to frighten yourself. Russia just building nuclear plant not "nuclear program".

Funny. There's national sports in Russia - making threats out of blue. Why? Don't ask "it's a well-known fact". The facts of the same level as ubiquitous drunk bears strumming on the balalaykas.
It's a U.S. trick - destroy cities with nukes.

Firstly, not a word about Iran is said yet. Besides nobody should expect that Russia would ever become an unconditional ally.
Secondly, Russia will not deploy its close-range missile systems in Kaliningrad. Not enough? Don't be too greedy. :) It a long way ahead on mutual trust.

Such unique things cannot be sold, like Raphael frescoes. And nobody besides musicians is able to value the instrument. Just keep it? It rather soon comes back to the owner.

In modern world to be a sovereign nation means to have a nuclear weapon and not have foreign bases on its soil. I think Japan should have one or at least have an ability to quickly make it if needed.

Yes, http://www.jacdec.de/statistics/types/Types.htm. Here you find crash stats of third world class aircrafts, like Boeing 747 'Classic'. Life is easy for the arrogant, is it?

That's why PwC and other independent audit firms have a good business. EU has an accounting problem - employ an auditor.

In fact they still are. The awful dictatorships were turned into the awful civilian wars - the cure is worse than the disease. Sadly, "Leave'em alone" is not an answer any more. Well, the question is who'll be next after the US got completely tired and march its troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan?

You'd be surprised but Russia helped North Alliance during Taliban rule. Do you know who was a leader of this alliance? Former enemy. Besides, USSR (not Russia by the way) made not only war it's poured resources and built infrastructure (probably, a futile attempt to make another soviet state) And it's remembered... Now it's a NATO problem to clean up the mess Muslim radicals (US born "freedom fighters") brought. Russia has no business their except a concern of increased opium production after US led troops came.
I guess they have a more important thing to do - keep the economy upbeat.

Ok. The next logical steps are to control these:
-- Accidentally watched the movie /brain made a copy/ - must pay;
-- Lend the book /memorized it/ - must pay;
etc.
R.M.S. maybe a bit extreme but his "The Right to Read" definitely has a clue.

:) It's a true. Now Russian population developed a strong antiamerican sentiments even liberals did, maybe except a marginal pro-western group. It happened gradually step by step, and Russian government and media have a minor role here... As to Orwellian state I can point the finger at a half of dozen countries carrying the same taint claimed to be open minded and democratic.
U.S. and Russia have many common features :)
Yeah, comes to mind: "The cruel and treacherous enemy has launched attacks on our planes that were peacefully bombing its cities"
Seriously, please, don't pretend you have no clue. These systems are intended to protect anything - civilian buildings, schools, hospitals, ships, strike groups, military command centers... against terrorist attacks, accidents, counter strikes, retaliation... And someone cherish a hope that similar systems will remove letter M from M.A.D., in future.

Oh, well, let's have another boring try.
Exactly, that's why weapon doesn't need any additional bogus characteristics like defensive or offensive. It's a part of military which itself is simply a tool of a state.
One should not pay attention to declarations: once SDF is a defensive force another day is not, once proclaimed "defensive" weapon protects against "rogue" rocket starts, finger snap, and its a vital part of offensive messianic operation to "bring a democracy to a dictatorship".
No problem, just less hypocrisy about "peaceful U.S." and "we have no russophobia" too.
Good joke :)

This argue foreseeably goes in circles... I know that these systems are used as elements of defense but they ARE the part of a bigger military machine.
Like a tank, it has armor and gun you cannot separate one from other to leave an entity intact.

These elements are part of a system which is built to deal with an attacker and/or/then attack itself but surely not just ward off strikes.
