Putin Orders Formation Of New Military Reserve Force
Fifteen years after Vladimir Putin first walked into the Kremlin, Russia’s army is bigger, stronger, and better equipped than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Able to call on three quarters of a million frontline troops, The Telegraph reports, with more tanks than any other country on the planet, and the world’s third largest air force, Russia retains much of the brute force associated with a former superpower. But it has also rapidly modernised, spending millions on rearmament and retraining programmes aimed at professionalising the lumbering, conscript-reliant force it inherited from the Soviet Union. The latest effort, as Reuters reports, Putin has ordered the creation of a new reserve armed force as part of steps to improve training and military readiness at a time of international tensions with the West over Ukraine.
With an estimated 766,000 troops under arms and another 2.5 million in reserve, Russia’s armed forces have shrunk under Mr Putin to the fourth largest in the world, behind China (2.3 million), India (1.4 million) and the United States (1.3 million).
In the relatively low-tech, high fire-power weapons that have defined the Ukraine conflict, it remains unsurpassed, with more tanks, self propelled artillery, and multiple rocket launch systems than any other country on the planet.
However, Russia still lags far behind the United States in total power and many other Western countries in terms of technology, with much of its vast arsenal still made up of ageing Soviet-designed equipment.
And so, it appears "whatever it takes" is spreading to Russia...(as Reuters reports)
The new reserve force has been discussed for several years and was first ordered by Putin in 2012 shortly after his re-election as President. The latest decree was published late on Friday.
It will be distinct from Russia's existing military reserves because the part-time personnel will be paid a monthly sum and train regularly.
Russia already has several million military reservists consisting of ex-servicemen, but they do little training as there are restrictions on how often they can be called up.
Defence Ministry officials have previously said that the new reserve force was envisaged at around 5,000 men to begin with, a small figure in a country with around 750,000 frontline troops.
The creation of the new reserve force had been delayed by a lack of financing, Russian media reported. Putin's decree ordered the government to find financing for the new force from the existing defense ministry budget.

Last year Russia spent an estimated 3.247 trillion rubles (£42.6 billion) - equivalent to 4.5 per cent of GDP - on defence, according to the SIPRI, a Swedish think tank. That’s up from 3.6 per cent of GDP since Mr Putin came to power in 2000.
That SIPRI estimate is higher than Russia’s officially published 2014 defence budget of 2.49 trillion rubles - which still makes it the third largest spender in the world behind the United States and China.

Not sure which is more pathetic--transsexuals or millionaires and other hopelessly lost souls who are desperate to find a fucking fight.
I can't help but think the latter are the more hopelessly clueless. I mean, seriously. Can't find a way to do something with aggression better than meet as a group at the 19th hole? WTF is wrong with them? They gotta make a date?
I have no particular sympathy for the former, just sayin.
If the USSA could win on a first strike, they would have already attacked. The Neocon puppets, their strings pulled by the MIC, who in turn are handmaidens to the central banksters, have never shown restraint when they think they can win. Just ask the Libyans, Iraqi's, Aftgani's, etc They always strike those who are weaker.
Notwithstanding cheap ass lies spread by low level ukie minions, the USSA does not attack because it cannot win, and so is relying upon economic and political wars to dominate Russia. The USSA will fail, and eventually, like all empires, will fall.
Another shitty pro-Prostitutin article by ZH.
Putin's last 12 months record:
> Ukraine is lost. It is under a complete US control and is preparing to a war with Russia
"Ukraine" is a part of Russian Empire currently being occupied by the USA (read, by those, who own the US and use it as their tool), just as the Russian Federation itself is colony of the USA, only more independent than "Ukraine".
How can "Ukraine" be already "lost", if USA attacked the Russian Federation, starting from "the Ukraine" a year ago -- just as Schicklgruber did in 1941? And, by the way, US Embassy in Kiev has the largest headcount. Russia could take the whole Gayrope in three days, but the chosenite "fifth column" within Russian Federation doesn't allow the special task forces remove junta from Kiev (i.e. Russian territory).
Putin is not just a "President" (i.e. a sort of a notary public, simply checking if the other ten officials signed the laws written by the USA embassy in the Moscow, and if all the signatures are there, signing the bill too), but also a leader of the Russian National Liberation Movement.
Current Russian "Constitution" is a "legal subversive act", it was written by the US consultants back in mid 90's and is totally anti-Russian. However, Putin, as a "President", i.e. a guarantor of the Consitution, cannot simply change it, because the chosenite businessmen around him will make sure he follows Milosevic destiny and will be in Hague next day. For the same reason he can't control ZOG media within Russia.
However, Putin has some control over the foregin policy (that includes "Russia Today"), FSB and the army.
Now, talking about "Ukraine" again. The real last name of the leader of junta, Poroshenko, is in fact Waltzman. The rest of the junta officials are also chosenites, and they are rebuilding Khazaria:
Texe Marrs, The Serpent People Return to Ukraine: http://www.texemarrs.com/082014/serpent_people_return.htm
Yawn. Russia has faced far worse threats and survived.
The Ukie army cannot even beat the Novorossiyans, and despite Kiev's lies, has yet to face the real russian armed forces. Moscow could occupy Kiev in 2 days and there is nothing NATO can or will do. But who in the right mind would want to occupy the economic disaster called the Ukraine, a banana republic without bananas? Better to leave the mess in the hands of the EU and USSA.
China has not imposed any sanctions on Russia. They are more than happy to replace business lost by the stupid europeans. More lies pulled out of your loser ukie asshole.
I find it amusing as the Ukie trolls become more desperate, the lie and distortions become more outrageous. But as Hitler learned, lies and propaganda cannot create reality, and as the Ukraine sinks deeper into the economic abyss, it is only a matter of time before the Ukies turn on the USSA and EU.
Of course, as loyal subjects of the Empire, the trolls think they will be rewarded with EU visas, ROTFLMAO!
Caconhma:
I sincerely hope the average american and the average american politician really believes the crap you just said, at least for a year or two more, so thank you for being a fool.
So, dont believe me when I say that not even a needle passes through your generals anus for some time now.
Anyway, the Russian Army is, today, the only wall between humanity and total hell on hearth. So, long Live the Russian Army, the real Army of Christ in the XXI Centrury.

Still air-brushed from History.
From your Westerno propaganda Russian money is running out, hm? You Muricans have over 220 trillion dollars in debt, how your money hasn't run out yet?
Sheeple don't understand how the world works.
USA cannot survive without the colonial taxation it imposed on the rest on the world, and since "kapitalism" consumed the whole planet, there is no cash inflow coming from new colonies, and the existing colonies simply cannot fulfill the growing needs of Metropolis (i.e. chosenites' needs, not those of the commoners getting paid peanuts).
US had the best industry and everyone wanted goods with the "Made in U.S.A" label due to a top-notch quality. Up until mid 60's. 1968 was the first post-war year when savings of American population started to decline and the frontiers of "kapitalism" had to be pushed futher, so it was decided the cut a piece of the Eastern Bloc, starting from Czechoslovakia. Russian tanks entered Prague one day before US troops stationary in Cologne were ready to occupy the country.
As usual, ZOG media around the world initiated a well planned info-war campaign with scripts written long before.
PS
BTW, Russians took over Tajbeg Palace (Operation Storm 333 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storm-333) in Afghanistan hours before American forces. And again, despite building hospitals, schools, universities, plants and factories, Russians were the bad guys (according to the ZOG media).
As the U.S. withdraws from the world militarily, Russia will take the countries all the way to the Caucasus. History proves this. It's vital to their survival.
Here are 10 examples of how great putin regime army is:

...and by his 2nd mom... or dad.
Having been in Russia back in the 90'and saw what you mentioned. Amerikan pussification and women are to blame to pussify the kids today. Men are being pussfied as well
But it doesn't even matter if you can't even buy the toys to begin with.
As opposed to being able to buy really fucking expensive toys that don't actually work?
Wow. You really have to wonder who is really getting shafted regarding Putin´s alliance with China.

Thats one of the sickest burns ive seen in awhile......anyway....9o% of Murikistanians are pudgy fuckwit pussies. the other %10 is a sorrid mix of overly medicated overly self intitiled lunatics and psychopaths of varying degree. There is a reason Murikistan is on the chopping block; everyone else in the world hates them. Dont fear the Murikistanians, most of the mean ones are overseas or dead or crippled both body and mind.

Are you a shit-eater? I ask because I know there is a kind of shit-eaters in degenerate liberal West. Your disorder is called caprophagia.
Coprophagia /k?p.r?.?fe?.d?i.?/[1] or coprophagy /k??pr?f?d?i?/ is the consumption of feces. The word is derived from the Greek ?????? copros, "feces" and ?????? phagein, "to eat". Coprophagy refers to many kinds of feces eating, including eating feces of other species (heterospecifics), of other individuals (allocoprophagy), or its own (autocoprophagy) – those once deposited or taken directly from the anus.
Now this sounds like something which would be very popular in that degenerate, liberal West! ehehehehe Degenerates!
Run that lip out, Poootin fanboy.

This is a consequence of the impact of the latest secret weapons treacherous Putin: creepy, secret schizophrenic rays.
The great day in humanity will be the day that warmonger-US no longer exists.
I hate to say it, but day after the corpse of the USA slides flaccidly into History's dust-bin, a new set of hegemon-warmongers will take its place.
The USA is merely Hegemon-du-jour... one of a long and depressing series.
You are stupid, Galician trash! Really moronic! Russian air defenses are the best in the world, you ignorant Galician retard! Even North Atlantic Terorrist Organization's officials admit S-300 is a better air defense system than Patriot, and S-400 is in a different league entirely!
All Putin needs to do is sit at the "bargaining" table with John Kerry representing the illegal Obama Putsch Regime, and they will get every concession they want. Hell, like Iran, a cash prize(wealth transfer) on top of $150 Billion+ is guaranteed.
Nah, not unless they are Muslims.
The Russian Air Force is falling out of the sky
The flights began last year. The government of Russian President Vladimir Putin, eager to send a message, began flying nuclear bombers on training missions near the United States and its allies around the world.
The message was one of intimidation and defiance: Russia is still a power to be reckoned with, and meddling in the Ukraine, Syria, and Russia itself — particularly on human rights issues — is not appreciated.
Now, after months of aggressive flying, Russia's overworked air force is falling out of the sky. On July 5, a Su-24M tactical bomber crashed during takeoff at Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. The plane banked sharply after takeoff and hit the ground. Both pilots were killed.
Five Russian combat planes have crashed in the past month. Russia's attempt to demonstrate strength has backfired spectacularly and demonstrated weakness instead.
In the past year, Russia has sent nuclear bombers to the borders of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands, and Japan. In May, a pair of Su-24 bombers made a low pass over the destroyer USS Ross in the Black Sea, and Russian fighters have demonstrated "reckless" and "unprofessional"behavior near American spy planes over the Baltic Sea, prompting protests from the Pentagon.
RECOMMENDED FROM THE WEEKRICHARD HALL
Russia's Air Force has been run at a high tempo, and the pace is catching up with an already-weary aircraft fleet. The toll in just the last month has been extraordinary: In addition to the fatal Su-24M accident, two MiG-29 fighters have crashed. Less than three hours after the second MiG crash, a Su-34 strike fighter flipped over while landing and went down south of Moscow.
On Monday July 6th, a Tu-95 strategic bomber suffered an engine fire and overshot the landing strip at Ukrainka Airbase in the Russian Far East, where flights against Japan and the Western United States are conducted. Both pilots were killed.
President Vladimir Putin has decided to mount frequent shows of force to remind other countries of Russia's military power. Unfortunately for him, all of Russia's options for a show of force are dicey. Russia's military suffered from neglect during the 1990s and early 2000s, the result of a weak economy that was unable to properly fund the armed forces. Armored vehicles, ships, and planes were inadequately serviced, and even fell into disrepair.
The Russian Army, being what it is, can't mount an effective show of force beyond the country's borders. The Russian Navy can't send its remaining aircraft carrier and cruisers abroad without a oceangoing tugboatshadowing them — in case one of the ships breaks down.
That leaves the Russian Air Force. The vast majority of Russia's Air Force was built and operated by the Soviet Union, making the youngest of these planes 24 years old. The Tu-95 "Bear", MiG-29 "Fulcrum," and Su-24 "Fencer" fighters and bombers that crashed in the last month were all inherited from the Soviet Union.
Compounding the problem is the inability to replace older aircraft with new models. Since the end of the Cold War the United States has introduced the all-new F-22 Raptor and is on the verge of introducing the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Russia on the other hand has not introduced a new fighter design in 30 years. Russia's latest fighters, the Su-35 air superiority fighter and the Su-34 strike fighter, are updated designs dating to the late 1970s.
Russia recently announced an aggressive program to modernize its armed forces, and pledged to spend $400 billion on new armaments. But already the program is in trouble, as sanctions over the war in Ukraine, a ban on military sales to Russia, and declining oil prices have sapped the modernization effort.
Russia recently cut its initial buy of the new PAK-FA fighter, it's first stealthy, so-called "fifth generation" design, from 52 to a mere 12. The troubled aircraft program is suffering from technical difficulties and cost overruns. Russia will likely buy more fighters down the road, but it's an example of the problems Moscow faces in procuring new equipment.
Moscow is caught between a rock and a hard place. Russia can no longer rely on older equipment to project an image of strength and power. But increasingly it cannot afford to replace that equipment with modern designs the equal of American and Western equipment.
Four airmen serving their country have died, a tragedy regardless of nationality. But the upshot of this recent spate of crashes may be a more realistic view of Russian power by those wielding it. The Russian military is simply not ready for war — or even saber rattling.
So is NATO going to invade Russia, and if it did the war would almost immediately go nuclear and Russian nuclear weapons work! Russia will destroy the US before it allows itself to be defeated.
NATO has never planed to attack Russia, but I think putin regime won't attack NATO too... not in near future - here's why:
Russia Is Now Vulnerable to Surprise Nuclear Attack
Russia's space-based early warning system, designed to alert the nation to an inbound nuclear missile attack, is offline, leaving Moscow partially blind to potential intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) attacks.
Since the Cold War, both the US and Russia have used a combination of satellites and ground radars as part of early warning systems to alert their governments to any incoming ICBMs. Russia announced last year that it would be replacing its aging Soviet-designed missile-warning system, which was decommissioned in January, this month. But last week, they announced that the replacement satellites had been delayed by four months.
"Today we are nearly prepared to launch the first satellite into a highly elliptic orbit, the launch of which will take place in November 2015," Major General Oleg Maidanovich, commander of Russia's Aerospace Defense Forces, said Tuesday. Maidanovich, however, did not offer an explanation as to why the launch had been postponed.
Signs of an ICBM missile launch include heat and infrared signatures coming from the hot plume of rocket exhaust created during the missile's ascent phase. Early warning satellites are then complemented by an array of ground-based radars to detect incoming missiles.
"The major difference is that [the detection] range on the ground is limited because of the curvature of the Earth, so you don't have as much warning that a missile is incoming," Michaela Dodge, a senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation, told VICE News. She explained that ground-based systems have to look for different kinds of indicators because a missile's heat signature decreases significantly within five minutes of a launch.
So with its satellites out of commission, Russia can only depend on ground radar, leaving the country vulnerable to a surprise nuclear attack at a time when tensions with the rest of the world are growing.
Last weekend, while Russian President Vladimir Putin called President Barack Obama to wish him a happy Fourth of July, the US Air Force intercepted four Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers off the coasts of California and Alaska.

non compos mentis
and bored sources...
This Galician imbecile is repeatedly copy-pasting his retarded propaganda! Do you think this is place where 6 year olds hang out for your childish lies and propaganda to be effective in their purpose, hm, imbecile?
The Russian (Red) army was a joke in in 1939 when the Finns kicked the hell out of them. Now go tell that to the Germans that are buried between Moscow and Berlin.
Was Soviet Army, not Russian
Do not conflate Soviet was never a Russian project
From 1917 thru Stalin was never Russians in control
Even Krushchev and Breznev were Ukrainian nationals
back to main, Soviet never used best troops or equipment against Finns..
Later, when Germans near Moscow, arrived the best:
Otto Skorzeny: "It was an unpleasant suprise - at Borodino we fought with the Siberians
for the first time. These were big strapping men - Superior well armed Soldiers, they
were dressed in side fur coats and hats and wore fur boots on their feet"
And all of that comes at a fraction of the cost of the single B-2 crash in Guam.
BTW, to say that the SU-35 is an updated 70s design, while accurate, misses the point entirely. A 70s era US fighter bested a F-35 in a dogfight too.
Russian Bomber Crashes in 6th Military Aircraft Loss in One Month
A Russian Tu-95 “Bear” strategic bomber crashed during routine training in Russia's Far East on Tuesday, news agency RIA Novosti reported, marking the second loss of a Tu-95 bomber and the sixth loss of a Russian military aircraft in a little over a month.
Russia's aging aircraft fleet has been called into heavy service over the past 18 months as relations with the West deteriorated over the crisis in Ukraine. The NATO military alliance has said it intercepted 400 Russian aircraft near its borders last year — a 50 percent increase over 2013.
The increased flight rate is taking a toll on Russia's fleets of MiG-29, Su-24 and Su-34 fighter jets, as well as the Tu-95 long-range bombers, all of which have experienced accidents since the beginning of June.
The Defense Ministry said the crew in Tuesday's crash managed to bail out of the aircraft before it went down, and that it was not loaded with weapons. The Tu-95 is capable of carrying nuclear bombs or cruise missiles.
An unidentified Defense Ministry source told RIA Novosti that the cause of the accident was “most likely a technical failure.” The last Tu-95 crash in early June was the result of an engine fire during takeoff.
Man you window licking Ukrop's are real sore fcuking losers, just face facts you lost because your Army was unmotivated pile of shite.
Either you are spreading utter stupidity or simply just spamming, Galician! But what else can one expect from an imbecile!
Investigation Launched Into Building Collapse That Killed 23 Russian Conscripts
At least 23 Russian conscript soldiers were killed and 19 taken to a hospital when a military barracks collapsed near the Siberian city of Omsk, the Defense Ministry said Monday.
Television footage showed rescue workers hauling large chunks of rubble out of the long, four-story barracks, a training facility for paratroopers, where part of the roof caved in at around 11 p.m. on Sunday.
Whole floors had given way in the middle of the blue and white building, leaving twisted pieces of metal and concrete jutting out.
A local Defense Ministry spokesman said a plane with medical equipment had been sent from Moscow and some of the injured were flown to the capital for treatment.
The Investigative Committee branch responsible for the Omsk military garrison has opened a criminal case into negligence, the violation of safety standards and abuse of power, the Interfax news agency quoted Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the central committee that has since taken over the investigation, as saying.
Markin said that one line of inquiry was the standard of reconstruction work carried out in 2013 on the 1970s building just outside Omsk, 2,250 kilometers east of Moscow.
"All the people responsible in varying degrees for this tragedy, regardless of their position or duty, will be prosecuted and will be punished," said Markin, adding that the crimes being investigated carry sentences of up to 10 years in prison.
Russia has a poor safety record and a history of building collapses and transport accidents.
The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin had sent his condolences to the families of the victims and ordered the Defense Ministry to do everything it could to assist those who were injured.
Tuesday has been declared a day of mourning in the Omsk region in honor of the victims. Flags will be lowered to half-mast and local television channels have been urged to cancel any entertainment programs, Interfax reported, citing a regional government press release.

Electrical power numbnuts...
Hydroelectric power generated at Niagara Falls is shared by both Canada and the United States; both have multiple power stations located at Niagara Falls that feed their power into grids that power both northeastern parts of the United States (not just exclusively New York City or New York State) and eastern parts of Canada (such as Toronto and Ottawa, the largest and fourth largest cities in Canada, respectively). However, it is quite possible that since New York City uses such a tremendous amount of electricity, that they might very well be consuming the lion's share of the hydroelectric power generated by the United States power stations located at Niagara Falls.
Actual case in point:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/08/14/otsc.blitzer/
Cheech: your mommy is calling. Dinner is on the table!
You are quoting an event that was 12 years ago which was caused by the software bug and everything has changed since then.
First of all the Hydroelectric power is a small franction of overall supply both for NY and Ontario. The Niagara Generating stations are even less in the mix. For Ontario the Sir Adam Beck (Niagara) generates around 2,000MW (out of 35,000MW) which is around 6%. On the American side the Robert Moses Generating Station has capacity of 2,500MW which would be 8% of total for NY.
The impacts of nuking the Niagara Falls would be small and easy to correct via robust electrical grid connecting Ontario and NY - not too mention the domestic connectors with other state/provinces. This redundant grid can handle over 20TWh transmission between Ontario and NY per year enough to mitigate any imbalances.
Both Ontario and NY have changed their energy mix. 100 years ago it was all about the hydropower. Right now the hydropower is a tiny fraction and decreasing. There is more nuclear, gas, renewables in the mix and their share is increasing.
Go back to masturbating in front of Putin's portrait (before your mom beats you up) and stop worrying about Canada.
You are ignoramus and idiot.
What does New York city have to do with this? The hypothetical situation presented has NYC vapoerized. Which means not many will be worries about the vaporized hydrodam. Not to mention the destruction of a massive shipping lane for the north american continent. Let's just ignore that though, right?
He is talking about nuking the Niagara Falls. Go back to elementary school and learn reading skills.
It's called reading comprehension, not readin' skills, fuckwit. Also, he mentioned and I paraphrase, "They will nuke 10 major US cities and 2 hydro dams." Unless I'm mistaken NYC is a major US city, about major of a US city as you are an imbicile.
before you try be cute,you might check...I think he might be Dutch,
pay attention next time, dum dum...
I love it when you talk dirty!
Vichy DC spends what they don't have on what they can't get and it's all downhill from here.
Dozens of professional Russian soldiers are facing trial after abandoning a training base, according to media reports. The soldiers were allegedly pressured to "volunteer" for fighting in Ukraine.
The troops were reportedly offered money and benefits from people in uniforms without insignia. The people then tried to motivate them to join the war in Ukraine, according to an article published Saturday on well-known news site Gazeta.ru.
The media outlet also claimed that dozens of soldiers left their posts out of fear of being illegally deployed across the border in Ukraine to fight at a time when Russia is not officially at war with its neighbor.
"They all have the same story. They all served together in the same unit," Tatiana Chernetskaya, a lawyer representing five of the soldiers, told the AFP news agency.
Chernetskaya confirmed to AFP that "dozens" of freely enlisted soldiers faced tribunals for abandonment of duty, after suggestions they they fight in Ukraine.
"They weren't directly forced to go to Ukraine. People came to the unit to canvass them to go," she said.
At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry denied dozens of soldiers were involved, saying that only four soldiers named in the report are under investigation for "disciplinary offences," the Echo of Moscow radio station reported.
The Kremlin has repeatedly rejected accusations by Ukraine and Western countries, whose governments claim Moscow is providing troops and weapons to pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine. Instead, Moscow has maintained that only Russian volunteers are engaged in the fighting.
Money for volunteers
Junior Sergeant Alexander Enenko told Gazeta.ru that he saw uniformed people trying to persuade soldiers to fight in Ukraine while he was stationed at a training base in the Rostov region of southeastern Russia, only 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the border to Ukraine.
According to Enenko, the unknown recruiters promised 8,000 rubles (127 euros, $142) per day of fighting in Ukraine, as well as various benefits for the troops.
"I know for a fact, from my fellow soldiers, that they would bail out on the money, nobody would get anything," 22-year-old Enenko told Gazeta.ru.
Gazeta.ru also published a handwritten statement by another soldier, Pavel Tynchenko, who has been charged with going absent without leave.
In the statement to the judge of the military tribunal, Tynchenko wrote, "I did not want break the oath I swore, and did not want to take part in military actions in Ukraine."
The news website also cited official statistics on the garrison's military tribunal in the city of Maikop, saying it convicted 62 soldiers of going AWOL in the first half of 2015. In contrast, there was only 35 such convictions between 2010 and 2014.
Up to ten years for deserters
According to Chernetskaya, the soldiers did not want "to find themselves in battle" so they fled the training base for southern city of Maikop, where their unit is based.
"They went back to Maikop and started writing resignation letters but these were not accepted and this all led to the launching of criminal cases," she said, adding that four of her clients have been charged with going AWOL while one is charged with the more serious offence of desertion.
Russian laws call for sentences of up to five years in prison for being absent without leave, while deserters face a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Here and tossed about in impotent rage.
Continue in the same spirit, stubbornly, foolishly and to no avail...
Poor sissy boy I bet you are one of the new happy homo living the American dream.
On July 8 and 9, Russia hosts Chinese, Indian, Brazilian and South African leaders at the annual BRICS summit in the Russian republic of Bashkortostan. The conference takes place at a time when Russia’s rift with the West over Ukraine has sparked some concerns that Moscow might turn its back on the West and pivot towards Asia, both economically and politically.
Since Japan has joined the West in imposing economic sanctions against Russia, and India’s trade with Russia remains small by comparison, the Kremlin’s turn to Asia has in essence been a turn to China. In the months following the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, Moscow announced plans for a number of projects with China — ranging from a new method of inter-bank transfers, to a joint credit agency — that seek to create a shared financial and economic infrastructure between the two countries that would allow them to function independently of Western-dominated financial institutions.
China and Russia were also among the countries involved in creating alternatives to the Western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund, namely, the New Development Bank (NDB), which will finance infrastructure and other projects in the BRICS states, and a related $100 billion dollar special currency reserve fund that is meant to provide member countries with protection against global liquidity risks.
The most substantial developments, however, happened in the energy sector, including the signing of a landmark $400 billion dollar natural gas supply deal in May 2014, involving the construction of a roughly 2000-mile gas pipeline from eastern Siberia to northeast China. In November the two countries agreed to construct a second major gas pipeline from western Siberia to China’s Xinjiang province, along the so-called “Altai” route. Unlike the eastern Siberian pipeline, the “Altai” pipeline would tap the same gas fields in western Siberia that currently supply Europe, potentially giving Moscow the ability to shift gas supplies east or west at will.
Moscow also took the unprecedented step of opening parts of its upstream oil and gas sector to direct Chinese investment, specifically the vast Vankor oil and gas field in northern Siberia. Moscow had avoided this move in the past because it didn’t want to grant China influence over its strategically important domestic energy industry. It took similar steps in other sectors that had previously been closed off to Chinese investors, including automobile production.
Chinese companies have stepped in to provide Russian companies with technology that they can no longer access as a result of Western sanctions, and Chinese banks have become an important source of loans for sanctions-stricken Russian businesses.
But more than a year after the two countries initiated most of their bilateral projects, there has been no significant progress, and some projects have been abandoned altogether.
China has been much more interested in developing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which Moscow was hesitant to join. Compared with its more tepid involvement in the drawn-out process of creating the NDB, where it enjoys no privileged voting rights vis-à-vis other members, Beijing aggressively pursued the AIIB project and made a concerted diplomatic effort to involve as many states as possible. Russia repeatedly rejected Chinese invitations to join the bank, but eventually signed up in March, just days before the deadline to become afounding member.
Even in the energy sector, the two countries have struggled to carry out their plans. Although they began constructing the eastern pipeline in September 2014, energy analysts have recently doubted whether gas shipments can begin in 2018 as scheduled, due to a disagreement over a $25 billion pre-payment to finance pipeline construction that China had pledged. In September Gazprom a official said that the question of the payment was still “hanging in the air.”
The two countries have yet to agree on the exact route, construction financing and, above all, the price of gas supplies on the western “Altai” gas pipeline project. Beijing is unlikely to offer Moscow attractive prices for gas imports through the pipeline, since it would deliver gas to remote regions of China that are already well-supplied by Central Asian gas pipelines and far away from China’s eastern industrial heartland where gas demand is highest.
Meanwhile, China and Russia have so far also been unable to agree on the price for the proposed Chinese stake in the Vankor oil and gas field.
The limited progress of Sino-Russian economic initiatives is consistent with Beijing’s broader response to the Ukraine crisis. Although China’s state-controlled media has expressed understanding for Moscow’s actions in Ukraine, and senior Chinese officials have publicly opposed the West’s sanctions against Russia, Beijing has refused to provide diplomatic support to Moscow where it matters most. The Chinese leadership has not formally recognized the annexation of Crimea. It did not vote with Russia on Ukraine-related resolutions in the UN Security Council and General Assembly, and it was quick to develop good relations with the new authorities in Ukraine.
A few days after the overthrow of the Yanukovych government, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that China “respects the independent choice made by the Ukrainian people,” and Beijing has since deepened cooperation with Kiev in agriculture and other sectors.
Moreover, China’s relentless economic expansion in the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan is causing concern in Moscow. Central Asia analysts warn that the Kremlin’s strong-arm tactics in Ukraine — such as spurring separatist unrest among the region’s ethnic Russian population, or using its military bases in the region as launch pads for covert military operations — might in the future be directed against China’s interests in countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan.
China and Russia are often depicted as having closed ranks in response to the Ukraine crisis. But they’ve made little progress in the bilateral economic and financial projects that they’ve announced with considerable fanfare.
The recent warming in Sino-Russian relations should not be overstated. It does not mark a tectonic shift in international relations, and Moscow’s renewed romance with Beijing has little potential to break its deepening international isolation.

As you are obviously a retarded simpleton, I will explain this one more time.
It was in Moscow's interest for the coup in Kiev to succeed. China knew it and played its part with that statement.
If Nuland hadn't planned the coup (and spent $5 bil) or Yanukovych had put it down, Moscow's hand would be weaker today: they wouldn't possess Crimea. They would be limited to a few bases, a couple of naval stations and an air field or two.
NOW, POTATO FACE, THEY'VE GOT THE WHOLE ENCHILADA.
And no change of government in Kiev or vote in the Rada can change that.
When Russia sees what bullshit you've been slinging at zh, they're going to grab you by your enchilada and squeeze it till there's no more salsa left.
China is in the Ukraine to recoup their now 3 year loss of the $3billion wheat deal. I doubt that they are getting anywhere with that either.
What about the drone count?
What about the satellites that disable stuff just for fun.
Foot soldiers are a thing of the past - used after a battle has been waged, not to wage a battle.
Geeks sitting in bunkers with a few screens, headset, joy stick and a button - with missile launching stealth drones at the other end.
How many tanks/practice targets does Russia have again?
Worked so well in Afghanistan.
Those aren't new weapons either.They were used in WWII by the Germans.Thats why we all speak German
now.
Oh wait......
Your assumption is that Afghanistan was a battle/war.
Afghanistan was for beta-testing. US tests military technology in real situations - the only way to know how well it works. Lessons learned from Vietnam.
Each mini-war is another series of new technology tests for the US.
There's no money in war, only in selling weapons and munitions. The US controls the shipping lanes with technology, not war.
There are two schools when push come to shove.
1) Show your adversary what you have before hostilities break out.
2) Keep your weapons a secret until they break over the heads of your enemy.
Makes you wonder about Khibiny over the Donal Cook on the Black Sea.
What if that's just a pea shooter compared to the one the Russians and Chinese have on Tiangong?

Talked to alot of former military people. Glad their out. Fodder will be bottom of barrel.
How many of those Russian soldiers already in the US?
If it speaks Russian in a UN uniform, kill it.
How many of those American soldiers/mercenaries are already in the Ukraine?
If it speaks English, kill it.

As long as they have a fairly large drone force and special ops teams of personnel for taking out western bankers and western banking families they should be relatively prepared to do whatever is necessary to see that the human race survives.
Not the modern Russian style.. but close.. Force them to make a few 'bad' trades empting their bank accounts,, leaving them at average middle upper class retirees (hell in their eyes).

Let's do an IQ and wealth of nations survey?
How is the genetic potential of Russia and China? Are they stupid?
Do Russia and China have natural resources that come from the earth? Are these people smart enough to fashion these goods of the earth into Weapons.
Do these people have their own money system to then fund this arms making activity?
How easy is it to steal technology and copy it? Is it easier to steal and copy, or is it easier to invent?
People here that keep goofing on the Russians and Chinese as if they are losers ,are whistling past the graveyard. They are lying to themselves and cannot see reality.
America's assymetric force projection of bombing and air power is not a good match for a land power. Even a lower technology army land power can overcome the higher technology air/sea projection force.
Further, are they flooding their countries with thirdworlders? Are they dumbing down their educational institutions to pretend the lowest denominator is smart? Are they destroying the family unit and its role in rearing children? Are they eviscerating their armed forces to create jobs for women and operations for transgenders, etc? Do they spend defence funds to buy the best weapons or to make profits for the MIC, lobbyists and politicians?
The US hasn't any chance of success confronting Russia on its borders and in nearby countries. Yet Obama and his pack, and most US politicians (but not Trump) are pushing conflict with Russia in Ukraine. In its other recent conflicts, the US military has left with its tail between its legs. Get into a fight with Russia in Ukraine and the US units involved will be simply obliterated.
ICBMs aside, Russia is no threat to America. The bombers they keep buzzing us with in most cases have PROPELLERS for crying out loud. But it is not just about defending America, our neocons want to start trouble with them. This is a bad idea on a lot of levels. Russia may be absurdly weak compared to USA at projecting power, but they can operate along and within their own borders quite well. Whether we could beat them or not depends mostly on whether the latest AA technology has largely neutralized close air such support. In a "if it flies it dies" environment, our advantage goes away. But we don't know the answer to what this environment will be because we have never fought an enemy with such advanced AA capabilities.
In determing strength of ground forces, how many of those old tanks should we count? A smart infantryman counts them all because once all of the modern tanks have destroyed each other, an "obsolete" tank is still a tank.
USSA is going to have to use most of those excess ground troops elsewhere anyway- guarding the empire and increasingly tamping down on civil unrest at home.
I council peace with Russia.
Good commentary. Russia does not need to project power, she only needs to protect herself against the predatory USSA. The Russian AA can easily defeat the USSA air force (remember how the primitive serbian AA shot down a stealth figher in 1999), the US navy can do little while Russian ground forces on their home turf cannot be beaten by the USSA army.
If the USSA could militarily attack Russia and win, they would have done so already. They cannot, hence the Ukie troll army fighting the only battle they think they can win, aka the propaganda war.
The bombers they keep buzzing us with in most cases have PROPELLERS for crying out loud.
Ahh... they are 'turbo props'.....for crying out load.
Same as the Lockheed Electra. The finest passanger plane ever built....from the passenger's perspective.
But if you're convinced that aa stategic bomber that moves at 450kn and burns 3x the fuel as one that moves at 350kn is better, than go for it.
Both launch cruise missles exactly the same, the former does it much cheaper

The guy from you’re your tube example is a simpleton.
The Transbaikal Krai area is not equal to Crimea.
Take a look at a map. Without the Crimea, there is no Navy in the Black Sea.
No Black Sea presence, then No Russia.
Russia is fighting for its survival. After the Yeltsin years, the Harvard boys (Jews) convinced Russia to convert to an extraction economy. This means that its land and national patrimony was hypothecated to create Euro and Dollar Credit money. These debt instruments were “overseas” in a mechanism similar to the Greek Gambit.
Putin often talks about the Russian’s not having babies, and the general implosion of the country during this period. If labor cannot make money, to then survive, then they stop reproducing. An extraction economy is not balanced, and does not do anything really, other than extract oil and minerals. Only Oligarchs who enclose the lands, and then extract, will make money. The labor value added to make “things” from Russia’s resources is done elsewhere, especially in the West.
Note that today, Volkswagen and others are forced to put factories in Russia, otherwise they will lose markets. The U.S. by forcing Russia to pivot, has done her a favor, by forcing the Russian economy into more balance.
During Yeltsin’s years, the Oligarchs (Jews for the most part) borrowed private credit money from their international brothers, and then bought up Russia’s patrimony - that is Russia’s natural monopolies, such as radio, T.V. , Steel, and especially Oil companies.
Russia at the time of Putin’s takeover was also under threat from the “stans” or Muslims in their midst. White Russians were in fatal demographic and economic decline.
Losing a little land in the “East” to appease China is smart Chess considering Russia’s near death circumstances.
Almost certainly, there were security guarantees that China has since honored, while Putin focuses on shoring up his Western flank, and re-invigorating the Russian economy.
Also, the pivot creates a two front problem for Western hegemon. No army fights a two front war. This act of Putin’s political chess stops aggression before it can start.
Extraction economy.. Russia in 2010 got to its final IMF payments and that is when the game got into gear. Ukraine became the conflict zone and land to turn into a fire-sale extraction economy, but only after destroying it's manufacturing and decimating its labor force, so that industry in the west wouldn't have to compete against it, just get the raw product at bottom bargain prices, but the west underestimated Russia.
Now Russia has 1.2 million Ukrainian men as cheap labor and probably an equal amount of women. Access to 1/2 of the Donbass minerals and perhaps more. Was able to devalue its currency 30% in six months and stabilize, kick out foreign competition of strategic vital goods and still have their economy grow. Something that the US policy makers can only dream about, as it wouldn't happen that way here.

on the verge of introducing the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
The F-35 is a absolute piece of crap and merely a project to shuffle hundreds of billions to Defense corporations and friends.
It is an appalling aircraft and fails on a comparative basis with aircraft already in operation for many years. Calling it shit is an offece to shit.
you don't have to have a superior force to take down the top dog
you just need a better strategy
I see subterfuge making great inroads

This is Putins initial offensive strike force he will send out to the middle east and parts of Europe. Remeber these words.

Russia has a big problem. They are not inundated with Mexicans and other illegals. They still have a very high IQ White population who are actually educated. Compared to the American imbeciles their school system turns out.
Also you justs cannot beat someone on their home turf. So go ahead America invade Russia and see how far you get.
Talking about imbeciles - you are one of them. Patented and certified.
First, in the post above you suggested bombing the Niagara Falls - what a genius.
Now you make ridiculous claim that ruSSia has educated society. I hate to rain on your parade but ruSSia consistently (every year for as long as I can remember) scores one of the worst OECD educational systems.
Go to this link and scroll towards the bottom to see the newest OECD education ranking.
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-32608772
This is not the first time that ruSSia scores that low. Every year the OECD runs tests, ruSSia ranks in 30s or 40s. This year ruSSia's education is ranked #34 while USA is ranked #28. Not a great rank for USA either but every year ruSSia's education is ranked below US. Plain and simple. These are facts sunshine. If you are fighting facts then you need professional help - which is true based on your Niagara Falls idea anyway.
How bad it is in ruSSia? Recently a guy who is one of the heads of the Academy of Sciences suggested that they can nuke the San Andreas fault to trigger tsunami. There is only one problem - tsunamis are impossible on the California Coast. We have slip-strike fault that generates horizontal earthquakes (not vertical to make it easier for you to understand) and no tsunami is possible. Imagine - head of ruSSian Academy of Sciences suggesting it. Moron. Scary to think about what other so called 'high IQ' individuals are. What is high IQ in ruSSia anyway? In teens - lucky to be out of single digits?
By the way - there were smart people in ruSSia but all of them were butchered. No smart ones left for sure. So which breakthrough technology came out of ruSSia in the last 50 years?
ruSSia - country of morons. I love to see what they do now. Never prevent an idiot from doing what he does the best.
And what are all those Educated American Geniuses doing right now? Flippin' burgers if they are lucky.
BTW, the San andreas fault shouldn't cause a tsunami because it is land based, not because its a slip-strike fault.
The Ventura fault on the otherhand, is capable of at least an 8.0 magnitude tsunami creating quake.
"...tsunamis are impossible on the California Coast" you say? Way to show how high your IQ is, numbnuts.
http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-ventura-fault-20150420-sto...
1. The ruSSian moron from their Academy of Sciences suggested to nuke the San Andreas to cause a tsunami. Idiot.
2. San Andreas goes to the ocean north of San Francisco. You seem to be from LA but the next time you go to the local liquor store to buy your daily load maybe you should cross the intersection for the first time in your life and continue walk. There is a world out there, it is not flat and you will not fall into abyss. A trip to San Francisco could help.
3. The article that you quoted is 100% woulda-coulda and full of hyperbole. They started to research the Ventura fault. The fault is inland but close to the shore. Just like San Andreas. A lot of wild speculation in a paper that is not known for scientific rigidity. What is the scientific argument for Ventura caused tsunami? I cannot find one. Not all earthquakes cause tsunami. Reads little bit like colored press. Any evidence of major tsunamis on the California coasts? Surely over the millions of years something would have happened. Where is the evidence of past tsunamis? Even if there were tsunami - which direction it would go? Toward the coast? Really?
Next time please bring something more of substance and not an LA Times article written when all journalists are on vacation.
This article is not even remotely any valid argument for tsunami.
You are typical moron. Get a whisky. Get drank. Jerk off.
ALL earthquake research is "100% woulda-coulda and full of hyperbole", numbnuts.
When was the last time someone successfully predicted an earthquakes location, intensity and effects, numbnuts?
There is plenty of actual scientific evidence about recent major earthquakes can have totally different results to what is expected, even spreading to faults that are thought unconnected.
That article was the first thing google pulled up when "california tsunami" was entered, which appears to be well above the total sum of your OECD IQ ability when it comes to research. Silly me for thinking it was simple enough for you to grasp.
Had you actually read it, you might have discovered a little tidbit about sections of coast with 26 feet of uplift, which your obvious lack of knowledge shows you know nothing about. Uplift is only one mechanism that can cause a tsunami. Numbnuts.
I bet you use the bible as a scientific textbook.
"What is the scientific argument for Ventura caused tsunami?"
Here: http://www.bssaonline.org/content/early/2014/04/29/0120130125.abstract
And you said a tsunami on the California coast was IMPOSSIBLE!
NUMBNUTS!
I await your rebuttle containing something about BSSA not being a reputable source.

The boys on the International Space Station love the Russians.
So.! if Russia is so far behind in science for example, how come they have to rely on Russian rockets to go to the ISS. Those made in the usa have a habit of exploding, luckily no one is in them.

Russia has the blessing of Jesus Christ. Russia will be endure. The trolls can bitch and moan - none of them have probably even been to Russia - but the truth is that in Russia there is a massive rebirth of the Orthodox religion and you will find that there is a true focus on the church, the family, and the identity of Russia. Oddly enough, Russia today reminds me of the US in the past - hardworking, creative, improvisational, and focused on keeping its faith strong. Most Americans today would be well received in Russia - they know the difference between the Politicians and People.
The US under Obama is on a Jihad of tolerance that breeds weakness and discontent.
So correctly said
USA has degraded into immorality : legalized un-natural sex & drug abuse
Spiritually both of these are very dangerous & evil
Drugs destroy the brain and propel a person into all kind of wrong
Un-natural sex (LGBT) opens perverted pathways within neural network of people.
What they dont know is that evil forces & demons enter thru lower organs' nervous systems, these change the thinking pattern.
An example : In some countries many homeless ppl live in sewers below ground, they are drug addicts & homosexuals & have AIDS , they come out at night to rummage thru dustbins for leftover food, they do perverted sex for money/drugs. What kind of future they have, spiritually? Aren't they already in hell.
And Satan America is promoting these values all over the world. President Obama wherever he goes in the world he tries to coax the heads of govts. to legalize homosexuality aka un-natural sex which will lead to majority of humanity possessed by evil forces/demons thru their sexual organs.
USA is leading the whole mankind to demonic possession, to hell and let mankind recognise Obama as the agent of hell
