    Rogozin planted a Topol tree @ NATO, as a memory for his function as ambassador to NATO.

    His next tweet was (including this link: http://www.ria.ru/world/20120113/538690265.html )

    Many people hope for the collapse of countries they see as an enemy still... their beliefs often have little to do with reality.

    150 million is not some magic number that when reached will create an open fair happy society.

    Russia has a few problems... just like any other country does.

    Personally I like Putin and I think he is pushing things along better than any other leader in the world... if he was a New Zealander I would prefer him to be our prime minister and I am sure there are a few Americans here who would vote him American president if he was an American citizen with American values and issues at heart.

    Half the problem is that the west sees growth as positive, stable level numbers as some sort of stagnation, and decline as a descent into poverty and chaos.

    The reality is that if you take away migration then most of the west has shrinking population problems too, but these problems are covered by immigration which as you mention causes its own problems.

    There are many people who will leave their country in search of a better place for their children, but with a growing economy and job creation in Russia I rather suspect the flood of people leaving the country for better employment prospects has dropped to a trickle. Of course there will always be those looking for a better climate or a thousands other different reasons... and that is fine.

    Of course things are not helped by the negative picture of Russia painted in the western media, but I am sure over time the real people will get tired of these sad old stereotypes and with contact through the internet those dumb white euro centric westerners will realise most people from Russia are just people, they are not satan worshipping baby eaters. They don't back Syria to spite the west. They back Syria because they have good relations with Syria and port facilities there. Just like the west has good relations with Saudi Arabia and has lots of facilities there despite that regime being nothing like a democracy. Iran and Syria give their people a vote and in many ways are much more moderate and tolerant societies than Saudi Arabia.

    The western media wont tell you that.

    Good news.

    That Monsanto company sounds like a monster anyway.

    I don't like genetically modified food, and it makes me suspicious when they put big money into stopping laws to make them admit to using genetically modified products... what have they got to hide?

    I particularly hate their reported treatment of farmers in the US and Canada... they seem to love to stick it to the hard working farmers... damn suits.

    sorry for the double topic

    People say that the food produced in the communist block was many times worse than the western food but my grandparents and my mother say that the quality standard of the fruits and vegetables made in the kolkhoz and the candy, soft drinks, etc. were much better since they lacked the tens of Es, substitutes, and artificial flavors than the crap we buy today.

    Today we might have larger choice of garbage to pick but we dont have the choice to buy a truly quality product that lacks the contents I mentioned above.

    Yeah, lots of people in the west seem to be experts on communism, yet I remember talking to a lot of people from the Eastern Block during the last 10-15 years on the internet and many of them remember communist times with nostalgia.

    Of course they might be happier now, but during the 90s they missed the rule of law and the stability.

    The huge irony is that China is evidence that communism can coexist with the west, and can actually thrive... in fact I would say that democracy, or more accurately consumerism works best when there is a cheap plentiful labour source able to make consumer items at affordable prices. There needs to be a slave or poor class or group to create products for the masses but without needing to be paid at a livable wage because that would make the consumer items too expensive.

    For a while there was a rumour in Europe that Japan might rise up and use its money and technical knowhow to invest in Russia where there was a large group of trained and educated workers that would be willing to work for very low wages (in comparison to Japanese wages for Japanese workers)... particularly they feared that Japan would again become an aircraft leader like it was in WWII, and expand into aerospace technologies.

    Never happened of course.

    ——I have to say , In recent years, this trend has changed. Today anybody who wants start a factory in China, must pay more and comply with more strictly labour laws. From wikipedia, year 2008's Russia's minimum wage was aroung $130 monthly. And here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_in_Peoples_Republic_of_China
    is minimum wage in China by different provinces. Most province's minimum wage standard is nearly the same as Russia's in 2008.

    Yes, and no.

    The trend is for change but the game remains the same.

    50 years ago the cheap crap came from Japan and South Korea, and they used the investment to build and grow their economies. As they earned money standard of living rose and the workers demanded rights and the costs got higher and they got to a point where they couldn't be the cheap place to make stuff any more... so they went for quality and started with their own products too. TVs, cars, consumer electronics, etc etc. The rich western companies shifted from Japan and South Korea to other countries... Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia... right now most computer Hard Drives are made in Thailand, China, many of these countries use the investment and don't make cheap crap any more... they make quality products and have dragged themselves up though hard work and smart choices.

    Wages alone are not a good indicator of standard of living... you need to allow for living costs... a poor weekly wage is fine if it is cheap to live... equally a high weekly wage is not a great thing if 75% of it goes to pay rent.

    Dunno about minimum wage but Chinese average wage is 2-3x smaller than Russian.

    Sorry GarryB,
    but calling China a communist state is like calling any western country a real democrisy.
    A real communist state never existed also the majority were totalitarian socialisms and ignored mostly basic aspects of communism which had its citizens as the center of how a communist state can be established.

    Same goes for the west they don't give a **** what people want, the big decisions are kept away from its citizens like we had in Germany with the ESM and now we are slaved to Brussel and they can take 780 bln Euro per year without any questioning without any sue or anything german citizens can do.

    We only have leaderships who try to be the center of a state, which is a contradiction to the idea of a country with a government.

    I quite agree Werewolf, but for the purposes of this discussion China is technically a communist governed country.

    Democracies like to kid themselves that giving their citizens a vote every 3 to 7 years makes them democratic, and that ability to remove governments from power somehow equates to freedom for the people.

    Of course real freedom comes from money... the rich are free... the poor are enslaved... in fact here in New Zealand if you have to work a second job to pay the rent then that job gets secondary tax... no matter how much you earn... so that second job gets taxed like you are rich... at 33 cents in the dollar... and everything you spend it on has Goods and Services Tax at 15% on the remaining 77 cents you get left with... often is simply doesn't work out to be worthwhile taking on a second job...
