Introductions

[Abbey Marie]

Welcome, John V.

[John V]

John V ... welcome ! I'm a fellow Brit, though unlike you, the extent of my globetrotting has been to cross the border at the Severn Estuary and travel from London (my place of origin) to South Wales, where I now live.

I'm looking forward to your contributions. I suspect we may have certain areas of disagreement, but plenty also to agree on ... like you, I'm against liberalism and Marxism (and the Left generally).

One other Brit here is Noir, from Northern Ireland. I usually disagree with his viewpoints ....

Best wishes to you !

Oh my God Drummond, you don’t live in the valleys do you? (For the benefit of Americans, that would be the equivalent of Obama living in Kansas City). It’s a strange world, in which many of us have to leave the UK to find the individuality and freedom we couldn’t find in a supposedly free and equal western society. How times change, Maggie would feel more at home in China than she would in the UK.

St. Petersburg is a lovely city - at least it was when I visited many years ago. Welcome.

It is still a wonderful city. Thanks

Welcome to the new folk. I am the grumpy old guy that only posts when something pisses me off or otherwise catches my attention. Ivan in particular caught my attention as did the Brit.

Man, we'll let anyone in this place...

Bet our Russian member is having problems seeing how EASILY we all say...how we feel about his HERO "PUTIN" the terrible?
I enjoy how hiding behind pretending to use BAD English is somehow expected to be an excuse to somehow pardon...the Phony!

This new member also reminded me of Ronald Reagan's words..."Trust, but Verify", which we all should apply here IMO.

Let's be civil to a new member that does indeed live in St. Petersburg, shall we, Detective?

He's going to have a completely different viewpoint - and that's to be expected.

Myself and many others here are interested in speaking with a Russian, so do you think you can hold off on your snark? I think your cheerios are safe from him pissing in them.

Sure thing. I've been scolded before here on DP. Why should this be any different? Forgive me for being suspicious. Seems everybody wants to be appeasing, friendly, and look the other way. I did that several times. IT STILL DOESN'T WORK.

Which is why I now hesitate to WELCOME any new members here.

I dont understand, what's your problem. I never called Putin hero and I don't think he is. I think that I already told you about my opinion about him. But when I really did not understand what do you want to know you started to blame me on something.
You asked me about "leadership in Russia". I still don't understand what are you talking about. What's your problem?

Look. I don't propagandize my opinion. I just thought that it could be interesting for you, to know real russian citizen's position about situation in the world. I do not offend anybody. Well I don't want to. If I offend you - sorry.
