Russian Arctic Build Up

Again with the INTERNATIONAL MISREPRESENTATION of the Siberian protest and the rather silly maps.
really ? DW : 'We hate Moscow!' Anti-Kremlin protests in Siberia (Khabarovsk)

"Almost no one from the region has been to Moscow. For many, Moscow is both geographically and mentally further away than neighbors like China, South Korea or Japan. They see that their direct neighbors are in a better economic situation, and so they orient themselves more towards them than Moscow," Graschenkov says.


There are also pragmatic reasons why people in Khabarovsk don't speak well of Moscow and the Kremlin, explains Zaripov, who comes from a small town on the region's easternmost edge and happens to be in the provincial capital this weekend. "We hate Moscow. This hate began with the prohibition on cars that had the steering wheel on the right, which we used to be allowed to import cheaply from Japan. Now we have to pay high tariffs. Ever since this ban on cheap Japanese cars, the levels of popular support for the central government has gone down."

Really.

You can't help yourself.

You lied about the reasons there were protests.

Litwin. The reality is Siberia is RUSSIAN and has been for hundreds of years. And it will remain RUSSIAN for the foreseeable future. China isn't going to take it and the USA certainly isn't going to annex it.

As to the Northern route Russia occupies much of the arctic. It is their backyard.

Canada/USA/Denmark will win the great northern route race without problem , no one trusts to the KGB thugs ( Muscovites)
Russia has the icebreakers, and the great northern route allows Europe to China and vice versa
as an alternative to the Suez

Cheka, NKVD, KGB, FSB different names of the same criminal - terrorist gang ,
In the Khimki police station @Navalny (where the trial takes place) sits under the portrait of Genrikh Yagoda, the head of NKVD secret service in 1934-36, hanging on the wall. Yagoda supervised show trials and was the person who launched the #GULAG.

Nope. History disagrees with you again. History says RUSSIA defeated the Golden Horde. Ulus of Juchi =/= RUSSIA. Tartary =/= RUSSIA. Muscovy evolved into RUSSIAN EMPIRE. RUSSIA changed govenrments and became the USSR. The USSR fell and changed governments to become the RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

To call them the same id completely ignorant.

Blah, blah blah.....

RUSSIA =/= MONGOL
 
Russia is already pushing the great northern route as an alternative to Suez -especially after that ship grounding
It looks like more of a Panama Canal bypass than the Suez. And, even that looks limited.

There will never be an American Barbarossa. Get over it. Nobody in the US feels obligated to help you “win” your ethnic feud.
 
screw Ukraine -why are we securing a Russian border state with Zelensky clamoring for NATO?
EAstern Ukraine is Russian oriented

If John McCain and Vicky Nuland weren't on the ground at teh Euromaidan -maybe the revolution would n have happened, and forced Putin to annex Crimea for secure acces to Sevastopol

Putin might not be starting a new war with Ukraine. Moscow is already at war with Ukraine. Ant new moscow military action would be an escalation of an ongoing military & intelligence operation in occupied Ukrainian territory.

" McCain and Vicky Nuland weren't on the ground at teh Euromaidan " I got a clear vatnik BINGO here

Litwin saying Victoria Nuland was not on the ground at Euromaiden is a TV.lt lie.

And you keep misspelling RUSSIA.
 
As usual, Russia is fighting for the Oil that no one will need in 20-30 years and testing weapons they can never use. No wonder the people starve.
Beware that we are financing Putin's efforts with oil sales and he does not care about his people. His goal is to blackmail the world with his weapons like the thug he is.

lol no.. his goal is to make his economy more then a "glorified gas station" (McCain)
 
By securing more oil?
all he has now is a extractive economy. he wants western banking access (etc) and sanction relief.
Our sanction drive him close to China - Russian weapons and Chinese money is not a good thing for us

The Chinese are not a part of this. Putin is continuing his aggression and will get more sanctions not less. The Chinese have far different needs than him. They depend on our trade and our economy for their well being. Putin not so much. He has vowed to destroy all democracies us included.
