All your ranting against the west can be boiled down to one element. Lawyers. They are the enemy. And the 1% of good lawyers just don't have the money or numbers to succeed.

As for the rest of the thread. While I find myself cheering Russia more and more, I also understand that they have their own slew of bad problems that I want no part in like the rampant mafia corruption that resulted in the most expensive Olympics ever with shoddy and incomplete construction that could have been done at a fraction of that price.

Oh boy, Lawyers, or as here they like to be called Attorneys.
Don't get me started on Lawyers.

You have a point with possible depopulation plans, and how the banks control the west. What you don't have is any definitive proof that Russia is any less corrupt or brutal. The justifiers and some of the particulars for achieving the agenda may be slightly different but the agenda is the same... power and control. This inevitably leads to callousness to suffering and corruption. If you agree with their moral stance then fine. If you want me to buy the line that Russia is less corrupt and a better place to live than you will have to provide something a bit more substantial than your personal assertion that it is so if you are going to successfully make that argument. Right now, you only have half of a point here. The rest is nothing but a weird combination of hubris and wishful thinking.

Maybe you should get started on the lawyers. After all almost all politicians, government officials and almost all those who run the corporations as CEOs, CFOs and COOs all have law degrees of some sort. And they all have a army of law firms to back them up.
See the pattern?

Your anti Russian comments regardless of the nature of the post has been noted, not just in this thread.
Russia stands for NO GMO, NO ChemTrails, Christian Values (although orthodox but Jesus is Jesus)
Russia has a national central bank which does not put Russia into unpayable debt, RUSSIAN FEDERATION HAS NO DEBT
Russia certainly isn't the beacon of hope the OP would like to believe they are, but the OP's post does indeed have some truth to it; after all who gave Snowden refuge when he leaked the criminal surveillance activities of the West?
In the UK, Litvinenko became a journalist for a Chechen separatist site, Chechenpress. Litvinenko wrote two books, Blowing up Russia: Terror from within and Lubyanka Criminal Group, where he accused the Russian secret services of staging Russian apartment bombings and other terrorism acts to bring Vladimir Putin to power.
On 1 November 2006, Litvinenko suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. He died three weeks later, becoming the first confirmed victim of lethal polonium-210-induced acute radiation syndrome.[2] According to doctors, "Litvinenko's murder represents an ominous landmark: the beginning of an era of nuclear terrorism".[3][4][5]
Litvinenko's allegations about the misdeeds of the FSB and his public deathbed accusations that Russian president Vladimir Putin was behind his unusual malady resulted in worldwide media coverage.[6]
Subsequent investigations by British authorities into the circumstances of Litvinenko's death led to serious diplomatic difficulties between the British and Russian governments. Unofficially, British authorities asserted that "we are 100% sure who administered the poison, where and how", but they did not disclose their evidence in the interest of a future trial. The main suspect in the case, a former officer of the Russian Federal Protective Service (FSO), Andrey Lugovoy, remains in Russia. As a member of the Duma, he now enjoys immunity from prosecution. Before he was elected to the Duma, the British government tried to extradite him without success.

After all who poisoned Alexander Litvinenko?

Russia is ruled by an oligarchy. It is actually a good example of what something looks like when it's ruled by a small handful of people.

Russia is no place to live unless you are connected. I have had many dealings with Russians and a couple became very good freinds. None of them (except the connected) say nothing nice about their Government or of living in Russia.
That being said Russia has every right to not want a Nazi Facist Government controlling their pipelines. Reports about who is going to be running the New Ukrainian Government are already spilling out. The three wealthiest people in all of the Ukraine have been put place in three of the top positions.
These are the people that will take the Ukraine and turn it into yet another profit center for those that already have to much. Not that that is not what it was before as Russian corruption and Ukrainian corruption have gone hand in hand for a very long time. The old regime under Viktor Yanukovych made it clear that corruption there was a problem.
The new Regime will not make it clear. Instead they will privatize all the resources (as is already on the table) and dole out the profits to themselves instead of Viktor Yanukovych and his cronies.
IMO the people of the Ukraine are being abused by BOTH sides.
