On the political level John Bull and Bear cant' live on the same planet, no matter, what.
This is unchanged since at least 200 - 300 years.

Much less problems with French roosters and Uncle Sams.

Unfortunately that country of John Bull is my 'favorite'. The worst food on the planet paired with ugliest women and worst weather. What else you need?

On the serious side, Rote is correct, the story is true and I don't want anyone in that situation. For the keyboard warriors: the single reason the jihadists have any room is that the official military or even secret service is bound by certain rules. Under normal circumstances they are incompetent cowards and not a match even for the well-trained police force of any country. To bad(?), the police is bound by rules, the terrorists are not. They can only win by attrition only.

Yup, "Russia" and "eat Nazi's for dinner" are Oxymoron since somebody can't eat himself!

Below are the last words of Alexander Prohorenko the 25 year old Russian officer who called the airstrike on himself and died together with the jihadists that surrounded him. Was he a threat too ?

A.Прохоренко: "Командир, я окружен. Они здесь. Я не хочу, чтобы они взяли меня и утащили в плен. Запрашиваю атаку с воздуха. Они будут издеваться надо мной и над моей формой. Я хочу умереть с достоинством, хочу, чтобы все эти сволочи погибли вместе со мной. Пожалуйста, исполните мою последнюю волю – запросите атаку с воздуха. В любом случае, они убьют меня.”

Командир: "Пожалуйста, подтвердите свой запрос".

А. Прохоренко: "Они вокруг. Это конец, товарищ командир, спасибо. Расскажите моей семье и моей стране, которую я люблю. Скажите им, что я был храбр и я сражался до последнего. Пожалуйста, позаботьтесь о моей семье, отомстите за мою смерть. Товарищ командир, прощайте. Скажите моей семье – я очень люблю их"

Why doesn't he come here to Brussels and explain to the families of the dead and those who have lost limbs why money should go to protecting unrepentant Baltic nazis instead of trying to deal with the terrorists here in Europe?
(EU Dude, 31 March 2016 13:07)

Very simple... Because if Nazi Russia is allowed to wipe off the face of the Earth the Baltic countries, the same fate might await Belgium one day. With Ukraine, Nazi Russia has shown that it is crazy enough to embark on such adventures.

On the other hand, the terrorists might ocasionally kill some people, but ultimately they don't have the capacity to defeat Belgium or any other Western country.

And in any case, NATO obligations and fight against terrorism are not at odds.

He's just one of a long list of western official trolls (like General Breedlove) who think they are part of an effective 'hybrid warfare' program against Russia. They are not. They only come across as demented retards who have been employed solely on the basis of being brainless.

Change the newspapers in your toilet! Everybody in the USA talks about Russia as a superpower already. Only several moron peoples like Ukrainians, Poles, Shqiptars, Croats and Baltic micro states still hope that Russia will disintegrate while all others can see the new reality. For your information after the showroom in Syria Russia contracted arm sales for USD 56 Bln. It means that other peoples do not fear the USA. Because among the buyers there are the Saudittes, Iraq, Algeria ect. Despite the pressure of the USA peoples and states saw a chance to get rid of the tyranny.

It's fantastic the way that a country - with its past and its present - talks about other countries. And we are not talking about a "normal" country: we talk about a country that has fish-and-chips as national food, where citizens don't use bidet and have never washed their butts, where they use those idiotic sort-of-USB to connect to electricity and with a football national team that since 1967 is collecting only ridicoulous moments (and before 1966 it was the same). Ah, and they also drive on the wrong side of the road and killed the former wife of the son of the Queen since she was probably pregnant.

This is all a dark comedy. Western manufacturing is way down, and they need an excuse to build a bunch of equipment that they are not going to need otherwise. Everyone knows that if there was going to be a war, it wouldn't be a ww2 style engagement of aircraft, ships, tanks, men and equipment,it will be multi warhead thermonuclear ICBMs and it would be over (for all of humanity) in a couple of hours. instead of a new cold war and tanks for show, maybe they should learn how to get along

Sir, you have your self-interest, so do others. Don't be cranky about that not everyone is your sheep yet. If you intend to infringe others' national interest, that's fine. But prepare your own blood not spill others'. If yours is not enough, then your wife's, mistresses' and kids and etc. Ok, don't be a coward!

norms

pre 8 godina

it would have been more useful had mr hammond state some examples of this extra-international-norms behavior. is he referring to when Russia broke international laws and norms by starting a war based upon purely fictional evidence of WMD? is he referring to when Russia and its alliance recently removed and had murdered the former recognized leader of a nation? is he refering to when his country and allies brought war to another nation indirectly by supporting "moderate-rebels" with the single intention of having that leader replaced (according the the will of the people -- but not the people whose country they're refering to) breaking international norms relating to not interfering with the internal structure of a country. are these the cases where russia is acting rouge and outside of international norms?

i wonder how many recent cases of acting outside international norms mr Hammond can count UK doing? i'd be further interested in hearing how UK is going to counter the UN's recent decision to classify the Falklands and south Georgia and the south sandwich islands as being Argentinian because of the limits of the continental shelf. will the uk follow the norms and laws mr hammond so dearly holds, and abide by the un (one of their own organizations) and give up this territory and the oil that comes with it.

time will tell mr Hammond. it will take a little bit of time to show that you don't care about international laws either. like your predecessors.

Everyone? He's exaggerating. Russia is only a thread for neighboring countries of the former Soviet Union, that Union Putin would like to revive on expense of the sovereign neighbor countries. But there are numerous of them, starting with the Baltic states, Ukraine of course, Georgia, Moldova. Did I forget any others regions where Russia claims territory as 'their holy land' or where it installed puppet regimes?

On global level, Russia has not much influence. In a way, Obama was right when he said Russia is a big regional power.

This is all a dark comedy. Western manufacturing is way down, and they need an excuse to build a bunch of equipment that they are not going to need otherwise. Everyone knows that if there was going to be a war, it wouldn't be a ww2 style engagement of aircraft, ships, tanks, men and equipment,it will be multi warhead thermonuclear ICBMs and it would be over (for all of humanity) in a couple of hours. instead of a new cold war and tanks for show, maybe they should learn how to get along

It's fantastic the way that a country - with its past and its present - talks about other countries. And we are not talking about a "normal" country: we talk about a country that has fish-and-chips as national food, where citizens don't use bidet and have never washed their butts, where they use those idiotic sort-of-USB to connect to electricity and with a football national team that since 1967 is collecting only ridicoulous moments (and before 1966 it was the same). Ah, and they also drive on the wrong side of the road and killed the former wife of the son of the Queen since she was probably pregnant.

Philip Hammond is your classic pommie wanker whose mindset is in the 19 century and thinks that Britannia rules the waves when in fact the UK holds onto the coat tails of the US while telling the populace that Britain matters.
It does not.

Why doesn't he come here to Brussels and explain to the families of the dead and those who have lost limbs why money should go to protecting unrepentant Baltic nazis instead of trying to deal with the terrorists here in Europe?

Very simple... Because if Nazi Russia is allowed to wipe off the face of the Earth the Baltic countries, the same fate might await Belgium one day. With Ukraine, Nazi Russia has shown that it is crazy enough to embark on such adventures.

On the other hand, the terrorists might ocasionally kill some people, but ultimately they don't have the capacity to defeat Belgium or any other Western country.

And in any case, NATO obligations and fight against terrorism are not at odds.

On the political level John Bull and Bear cant' live on the same planet, no matter, what.
This is unchanged since at least 200 - 300 years.

Much less problems with French roosters and Uncle Sams.

Unfortunately that country of John Bull is my 'favorite'. The worst food on the planet paired with ugliest women and worst weather. What else you need?

On the serious side, Rote is correct, the story is true and I don't want anyone in that situation. For the keyboard warriors: the single reason the jihadists have any room is that the official military or even secret service is bound by certain rules. Under normal circumstances they are incompetent cowards and not a match even for the well-trained police force of any country. To bad(?), the police is bound by rules, the terrorists are not. They can only win by attrition only.

This audacious pipsqueak would crap himself if a firecracker went off next to him and here he is giving it large in public again. Once again you can see the strings . It's a bit like watching an episode of Thunderbirds with a comparable level of fiction thrown in. Hammond you pompous ass-wipe you and your ilk are an embarrassment to diplomacy and politics. It's Russia that's the real International Rescue and you and your mates are the nasty boys from the Hood.

My city got blown up last week and this stupid f/k has the temerity to squeal about Russia.

Why doesn't he come here to Brussels and explain to the families of the dead and those who have lost limbs why money should go to protecting unrepentant Baltic nazis instead of trying to deal with the terrorists here in Europe?

He's just one of a long list of western official trolls (like General Breedlove) who think they are part of an effective 'hybrid warfare' program against Russia. They are not. They only come across as demented retards who have been employed solely on the basis of being brainless.

Yup, "Russia" and "eat Nazi's for dinner" are Oxymoron since somebody can't eat himself!
