That's like saying North Koreans working in China or something are not allowed to vote in the North Korean elections, like that's gonna make any difference in Kim Jong-Putin's win :d

Angela Merkel is for the forth time in a row German chancellor.  Is she dictator now? 

Russia is aggressor in Ukraine and Syria, but its fine and democratic when USA and UK invaded Iraq, Afghanistan.

Serbia is responsible  for war crimes in Kosovo, Bosnia or Croatia, but USA is innocent for 2 million of dead Vietnamese 

UK made a resolution that characterizes massacre in Srebrenica as act of Genocide (for killing 8,000 Bosniaks), but hundred of thousands of dead in India when that country was British colony is not a act of genocide. Or millions of people in Congo under the Belgian rule?

Vladimir Putin is evil but Obama is Nobel peace laureate? Afghanistan is part of the US sphere of interest, but Crimea which has always been part of the Russian state can't be the same for Russia.

American military base on Kosovo (Bondstil) with 3,000 US soldiers is perfectly fine for all western "democraties" but Russian humanitarian center in Serbia with 5 Russian humanitarian worker is problem and abnormality for all that democraties. 

 

I'm sick of their fake democracy and so called fight for human rights across the globe. They build their fortune and perfect society on slavery and blood and today plays moral icons and human rights activists. So I personally wish all the same for UK, USA, France and all others, same as they did to people across Africa and Asia for the centuries of their colonial rule there.

Not exactly the meaning of dictator, as I'm sure you're aware.

Nothing fine about that. Or better yet: kicking Al-Qaeda's ass was just as good as Russia kicking terrorist asses in Syria.

Nope. Both of the sides you mention are definitely responsible for war crimes. Sadly nothing is done about that.

Obviously Srebrenica is (rather clearly) an act of genocide. Millions dead in Congo was one of the worst crimes in human history, but strictly speaking, not genocide: they didn't die simply for being Congolese, but they died because the Belgian rulers had absolutely horrific conditions for them to work in. Yes, it's all just as bad as genocide, but it simply is not the same thing, just like the millions of dead Chinese under Mao is a huge crime, but not genocide.

No problem with a military presence in an 'allied nation', just like at least in the 'big bad West' there's basically never anyone serious who has any problem with Russian humanitarian centers in Serbia. Never heard anything bad about it and don't see any problem with it. Most people who would have a problem with something like that are the "oh my god everything is a big conspiracy" kind of people.

    • Meant to ask this during the Olympics, but how many of you non-USA peeps are familiar with this song?  In case you don't know, this was written for the LA84 games by John Williams, renowned film score composer (Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park, etc.).  NBC now uses this all the time in their Olympic promos, intros, etc.   I had a friend who moved from the US to England, and when the Olympics came on, he commented that he missed this song.  So, perhaps this song is unknown to non-USers...but I have a sneaky suspicion that you Olympics nerds might have heard it.         Another one NBC uses (though I just learned myself that this was originally by French-American Leo Arnaud, called Bugler's Dream, dating back to the 1964 Tokyo games...apparently in 1996, John Williams combined it with Olympic Fanfare):      The combined version:   Edit: I'm hoping to make it to an athletics session at LA28 so I can be in the stadium where he directed the orchestra to perform this song during the Opening Ceremony.  Williams is still alive, and at 94, I hope he can hang in there two more years to see the Olympics return to LA and receive some honor.  He also composed music for Atlanta '96, and the opening theme of Summon the Heroes also gets used by NBC a lot:
