first time poster but have been reading this site for a while now,so hello to everyone,if u watch certain old films from the late 80's and the 90's, if it was about terrorists and action it always depicted arab's as the bad guy's one example i can think of is true lies with arnie,im sure you all could think of more, lo and behold! 10 to 15 years later we are at war with arabs, also i can't remember the name's of film's but i remember morgan freeman and danny glover starring in certain films where they were the president of the usa, at the time i remember thinking , a black president thats never happened and seems odd they have chose a black actor to be president, then 10 to 15 years later usa have a black president, i firmly believe we are conditioned by television and tv some for good reasons and some for bad, some things would never change if we were not conditioned for it first, joeyored

To Britain and America Russia is the true boyeyman
Middle east terrorists are are only invented to take away rights from citizens.

And I do have to agree that the Russians have been a big "bad guy" in a majority of films.
an american red
The Russians have fought many wars, lets see some were against
the chinese
the japanse
the germans
And they won them all
Forget whether the actor who plays the russian is from the UK or somewhere else usually the baddie is Russian
Russia terrifies America and for good reason, have you ever been there its a vast unforgiving country much like its warriors.
The motto of the russian police
We ask no mercy we give no mercy
The motto of the russian special forces
Any mission, any time, anywhere
America has one thing right about Russia its warriors are savages, the most brutal and deadliest.
I admire the Russians, unfortunately the west is brainwashed against the russians, so I would not expect anyone to have a good opinion of them.

Have you been on holiday with the brits whn they are roaring and shouting and generally cuasing all sorts of s**te.
Russia fought Japan in 1905, and lost
Russia fought Germany in the Great War and lost decisively
Russia had its backside handed to it in Afghanistan
Russia had a devil of a job fighting seperatists in Chezhnya (spelling).
Russians troops might well be plentiful but it doesn't guarantee success
Okay I am willing to take the lesson, lets see:
Russia fought Japan in 1905, and lost
No Mate they did not but I am sure your western teachers or western controlled media including internet sources told you otherwise.
Russia fought Germany in the Great War and lost decisively
See answer above
You know there is a part of Germany that Russia still occupies and maintains its now part of Russia, Can't remember the name of this place off the top of my head but if you like I'll ask a Russian friend.
Russia had its backside handed to it in Afghanistan
The russians did not have a war with the afgans the USSR did, have to be careful with your accuracy.
And the invasion of afganistan was an american ploy that the USSR unfortunately fell for, it was the USSR's vietnam. However it would be a bit far to say they lost as what did they lose in soverign terms?
Oh and another thing the war in afganistan did not entail a USSR surrender, nor did the USSR cede any land to the afgans.
Does not seem much of a loss in war terms, of course in human cost it was not good for either side.
Russia had a devil of a job fighting seperatists in Chezhnya (spelling).
Don't know exactly what your point is here fighting terrorists is always an impossible job.They don't stand and fight like say the Nazi's did they hit and run and the chechen rebels are Russian mate and damm good fighters.
Russians troops might well be plentiful but it doesn't guarantee success?
Of course nothing guarantees success it was not any point made by me, but any invasion of Russia or war with russia will fail, america will never implement a regime change in Russia (they are trying hard to imlement a revolution there right now for regime change as they now conventional forces just won't work) they would love to control russia more than anything else as the Russians provide the counter balance to America and they hate that.
Think of what goes on in the world it is the Russians that constantly twart american ambitions and that is good for us but you'll never believe that you could not you are brainwashed by the propaganda of the west.
Some things you may not know about Russia mate:
It does not just rely on it vast army
It was russia who invented the Harrp and other technology that america stole
Russia has advanced weaponary that america does not have, here are just some snippets I could tell you more
Advanced Tesla technology
Advanced Plasma technology
Oh and the most crucial most Russians unlike the weak west are willing to die for their country (mother russia), america knows it has to be careful around russia and rightly so.
Also russia and china have signed a pact the details of which are a bit hidden but most think that it goes something along the lines of if you attack one the other will come to its aid.
Even america and its allies (in europe) knows thats a fight they cannot possibly win.
Yes the Russians can be brash and a pain in the ar*e at times what nationality does not share these traits?
I was in france recently and the only restaurant off the motorway was a Big M
I went in and there were American fighter pilots there (they were in uniform) well mate you could not get louder or brasher, you could see the french did not like it but did they care not at all.
I am not Russian mate,
The treaty was practically obsolete before the end of 1918 with zero ramifications for Russia.
And Poland, Latvia and the other satellite states went temporarily from russian control, only to be picked back up again later.
So the ground - territory - russia lost was that of the satelllite states, hardly an integral part of mother Russia.
Russia and the USSR not the same thing.
Russia = the russian federation
USSR = Union of soviet socialist republics
USSR and Russia not the same territory
