It seems counter-intuitive for any country to attack the U.S.A. in such a way. I believe it is a measure of how depressed the Russian people are that they would consider self-annihilation worth daydreaming about. Vodka anyone?
We should pity their misery, I suppose.

It seems to me to be a reasonable basis for this propaganda attack. It's cheap: they use our Internet, all they have to do is hire a few thousand posters who sign up for ten or more accounts and do X posts per day. It's a lot cheaper than modern weapons systems. Russians all study English for many years in school, so while their English is easy to tell from Americans or British, still, they can communicate. They have the infrastructure for a propaganda war. Often they lie that they are living in America or Canada, but they aren't.
We have not won any important war since World War II, after all, and continue bogged down in a lot of hopeless "forever wars," so the public is pretty fed up. The Russians' job is to feed this discontent and demoralize us, as that one is said to be trying for.
I think it's working pretty well for the Russians, but I don't want to participate in anti-American activities. So as soon as I recognize a Russian propagandist, I stop reading him.
This is happening all over the Internet, not just here. They attack pretty much every forum.
I see Balu now as part of the continued attempts by Russia to infiltrate, sway, deceive, and then silently attack us by DIVIDING us in the easiest ways possible. They know HOW GULLABLE Americans are, and how EASILY-LED we are. Need examples? Look at how our Democrats betray, cheat, and have been lying to Americans...primarily Black Americans for VOTES.
The Russians, and our enemies around the World know US...WE THE PEOPLE, better than we do.

I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !
Time to knock off the 1950's rhetoric and bullshit, Balu.
We love your photos, but your COMMUNIST comments send you underground.
USA and Allies will make that vast wasteland a sheet of frozen glass.
Remember how many your beloved Stalin murdered?

I would say the same - your comments of a slave owner, descendant of the colonialists are disappointing me greatly. Think about the genocide of the American Indians, Negroes and the inhabitants of the British colonies if you consider them human beings. Or do you think that you are a collective Mother Teresa? If you think so, you think wrong.

Balu, why are even having thoughts on how specifically Russia should attack the US? What kind of around-the-dinner-table discussion is that? I can tell you that I never have had discussions with anyone on "if the US were to attack Russia, how should we do it?".
How about during your next dinner conversation, you focus more on how specifically Russia could attack North Korea? After all, you actually share a border with them. Plus, you'd be doing everyone a favor.

You know, I think, that it is time to trow away all that Russia vs USA shit. Damn propaganda. There are not too many young people here actucally believe all that crap. Only few crazy, or dumb persons and commies. But there always will be crazy and dumb people. And communists, their ideas - is past.
I do really hope, that soon people here will stop to be such a paranoiacs.
And I belive, that it is not only "USA vs Russia" discussion. It's about "Russia vs The whole white, european civilization".
Yes, in past, when my land was ruled by red traitors, there was propaganda and people here did not have any opportunity to know, how the West lives. But now, when we have the internet, when we can travel, we finally start to communicate with other folks. And I belive, that soon people will just laugh at that propaganda.
All civilized people must unite. Unite to discover the unknown, to travel and study to space, to eliminate that middle-eastern islamic threats. We must move forward. But we spare resources to just hate each other.
It is the most stupid thing, that humanity doing.

I owned slaves?
My family were dirt farmers in the south Potomac Valley,

It means I don't speak Russian. I'm pretty good with Euro languages because they all follow the same basic principles. Russian is like when I was trying to learn Greek when I lived on Crete. Different letters and rules. I an actually understand more Japanese than I can Russian.

AMERICA HAD BEST WAKE UP, IMHO..
China is the great threat, far more so than Russia..This ongoing hostility/agenda and maneuvers by the dem party and pro-china idiots is exactly why Russia is targeted to be vilified.
The status -quo-- of China manufacturing for us is why so many are choosing Chin over Russia, that and the cold-war era not being forgotten.
Truth is we have a damn lot more in common with Russia than we do with China.
Balu supports his nation , just as we support ours..
We would be better of as firmer allies with Russia than with China.
By the way, I am no propagandist, and suspect neither is Balu.
I am a hardcore history buff and also see how CHINA HAS FOOLED US FOR A FEW DECADES NOW.
China created a ballistic missile system designed specifically to knock out -AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS!!
CHINA IS EXPANDING ITS NAVAL FLEET AND GRABBING TERRITORY.
CHINA IS THREATENING A WAR WITH JAPAN..
