Uncle..... SAM!
I am from Russia and would like to tell you WHAT they think in Russia about all these statements. Not politicians, simple clever people.

1. Immediately after the "similar" news, the Russians begin to laugh. The first reaction is laughter.
2. Then the second reaction: "Completely in the West, politics went crazy?"
3. The third reaction: "The West is bouncing over, we can also strike with all our military might!"

A significant difference between the Russians and the West: Russian is ready to give his life for his country. The Russians are 100% supportive of their president.

Dear Denya, what kind of President? Not a democratic. If the two leaders (Russia & US) did not rival, but would join together, it would be much better for the world. Of course this is unlikely.
Its insane warmongering rhetoric coming from UK and USA. Its like they are trying to push the Russia over the limit where ever they can.

Most of the congressman's in USA cant even find Russia or Middle East on map but yet they continue with deadly outcry for moving closer to war. All this reminds me about War for Jenkins Ear in 18 century when GBR declared war to Spain when one member of the parliament made a speech about english sailor who lost ear on the sea when spanish officer cut it. Russia should really cut off the gas supply to UK and leave them buy virtual quotas from USA which is almost 30% higher price.

Problem is, normal people will suffer in UK ...not the politicians. Politicians will not have a problem in case of war, they will not send their kids to the front, they will not have food shortages, and they will live to see another day....common folks want.
Help to be helped.
"The Russians are 100% supportive of their president." He is also immensely popular in Florida.

Give it a rest nobody wants to attack you. If the UK and Europe need a secondary supply of oil and gas it's because your president has threatened before to cut off the supply. What good does a war do, you kill us we kill you, even less consumers for your oil and gas.
I find it hard to believe that Russia is the victim in any of this.... and quite surprised at some of these comments. If you commit a chemical attack on foreign soil, then you reap what you sow. With the election meddling in multiple countries, Ukraine, Olympic doping...all I see is a former world power trying to regain the spotlight and be relevant. They should focus on their myriad of internal issues rather than waste Russian tax dollars meddling in other country's business.

I don't think the US rhetoric has been strong enough, but then again, Russia is not a threat to the US and all they really want is attention.

Seems pretty useless to me to give your life for your country I mean what's in it for you ?
Most people will fight if their country is being invaded. So lets just hope nobody has any invasion plans.
A country is just land with invisible borders around it.

With that mind, it's kind of tragic (and a totally waste of one's life) to believe in fighting for that "country."

And no, people does not a country make. People leave and enter countries all the time so that's an useless argument point.

So when Germany spread out and conquered Europe in the second world war nobody should have cared and things went along as normal? I think you need some history lessons.

I present to you raklian: EXHIBIT A

No, I think you misunderstood him. What I think he is trying to say is, we are all on same Earth, it doesn't matter where the border will arbitrarily be. The only difference is who you will be paying taxes to (to one or the other politician that don't care about you), you will regularly buy land if you want to build your house on it (no matter which country that land "belongs to").
So nobody should go to war just because their "president" say so. You only go to war to defend people, ideals. You only go to war if some id**ts want to impose their ideals on you.

A logical person would go to a war against his "own country" (if we should call it like that at all) if that country is trying to impose something to someone else, for whatever reason.

Unless we are talking about defensive war, deserting should be any person's moral obligation.

moral obligation , dont know how old you are but honour and obligation to ones country is your moral obligation . seems todays young morals are for the past and old people are a problem , cant see this affecting the dollar
people leave, but this thread will go on for ever
Sure, this has nothing to do with trading.

But, I am always intrigued by how other people' minds work, so by following your logic, if I understood you correctly, if you were German in 1940's , it would be your honour and obligation to serve your country, right?

If that's so, I am deeply hoping that those "honour and moral obligation" are things of a past.

And, by the way, I am talking from close experience, as I have been through a war as a kid, and I know a few people whose country attacked my country, but they have gone to war to defend attacked country, so going against their "own".

That is the only honour and moral obligation I know of.

It may surprise you to know Denya that the majority of ' simple, clever people ' in this country have completely lost faith in the political class, and see them as the lying, corrupted plutocrats that they are. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that far from being impartial and non-biased, our mainstream media is agenda driven and propagates only that which serves the interests of a small but immensely powerful syndicate of industrialists. We know how popular and now how powerful your President is, but so do they, which is why ' The West ' but most particularly the US and British governments are so desperate to attempt to sow the seeds of his downfall, hence the whole scale anti -Russian rhetoric we are bombarded with on a daily basis. Not one person I know actually believes that Putin ordered the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, yes he may have done, but it is just as likely, even more likely knowing how the British government have lied in the past, that this whole sage was orchestrated by the British, and perhaps US government so that they could point the finger at Putin.

You may well be prepared to die for your country, there is no one more patriotic than a Russian when fighting for his or her motherland, as history has shown, but you will not find many Brits who would be willing to die for theirs right now, or rather, we would fight and die for our country tomorrow if we were attacked, but very few of us would pick up a weapon and fight for our government, and that I think, is the fundamental difference between Brits and Russians right now.

Adding to cat's post -And it seems odd that after eight years Putin suddenly decides to murder someone on English soil? Boris shouting accusations with no concrete evidence shown to people. Then some twat "Tallyho" telling Russia to, "Shut up and go away."
