Didn't see you for a long time. :hi: [/quote] Hi! Well, as I've predicted not long before I've stopped coming here, at some point I've become fed up with explaining same things over and over to those who don't care to listen. One of the peculiarities of Russian culture, the result of vast territory mostly - if something annoys us we just go away. Actually, it may be the most dangerous Russian psychological state - one of not caring what others think about us. It's just that lately the level of hysteria has risen to a whole new level of absurdity and I'm somewhat curious once again. Don't know how long will it last this time though. [/quote] Understood, I remember you wrote that regarding perpetual explanation of the smae things. I need ts say your insight and historic perspective was missed on many occassions. And, naturally I will use this opportunity and ask you what's your ippinion regarding the Skripal's incident and where do you think all of this leads? [/quote] Well, I'll of course answer any accumulated questions. As for the Skripal incident... Summarising everything I've heard about it there may be three options of what it really is: 1) He was foolish enough to leak some confidential Mi6 information to his daughter and it was detected by said agency. Either accidentally or because he was getting ready to perform another defection. And was punished for this alone. 2) They were used just as false flag. 3) A combination of previous two options: he was urgently terminated because of some imminent dander of disclosure (for example, there's a theory that he was used as Mi6 agent in f.Ukraine at some point) and then to cover up the true reason whole false flag operation has started. As of where it all leads... I don't believe that Europe would dare to start anything serious. Not quite Archduke Ferdinand level, huh. Mostly, it's quite similar to MH17 story. Also, the timing was just too perfect. Both happened just before EU higher-up gatherings just in time to completely derail the original plans for them. As Mikhail Leontyev noted recently "In their war against Russia Russia is a foreign element, the very notion of it is used as a scarecrow. No one actually cares what scarecrow thinks about being used." [/quote] Pretty much what I make of this, too. I go rather with the FF option in order to deepen crisis in relationships and to give an excuse to go further with hostile actions against Russia. But true is that there are other really interesting things, as relationship with Steele, author of the infamous Trump's dosier, or alleged Skripal's request to return to Russia (it would be, actually, good motive in your 1st and 3rd point).

I’m on GLP for more than a year and quite tired of a bunch of popular misconceptions and myths you people have about my country. That’s aside from clear propaganda and some trolls (or shills – whatever).
So, I’m willing to answer some questions regarding my country to have a page to where direct all the recurring rubbish I encounter here.
As a short summary – I studied history (mostly Japanese though) in university-level college. Before that I was interested in programming. So, I can answer quite a wide variety of questions. Don’t expect however me having a lot of “special” knowledge. There is some of that too, but quite outdated and not that interesting.
BTW, I’m not tolerant at all. I’ll block for excessive swearing and trolling without any hesitation. I’ll answer any questions I can - even if I don’t like them - as long as they are asked politely. Don’t expect to like all of the answers though.
