Is that because Russia is the only one he can remember?

Russia is in Europe?

Did I miss a memo?

OlafTheBent: Russia is in Europe?

Did I miss a memo?

There was no memo. Russia / USSR is and always has been in both Europe and Asia.

I wouldn't necessarily call Putin senile, or warmongering. However stupid it is to continually fight wars in the Caucasus (and it is stupid, seeing as how Chechens are basically the modern-day equivalent of orcs), at least they were attacked by the people they're fighting right now.

Cranky and autocratic, though, I'll give you that, subby.

Reggaenomics: There was no memo. Russia / USSR is and always has been in both Europe and Asia.

Which is commonly called Eurasia... but it ain't "Europe"

Cagey B: seeing as how Chechens are basically the modern-day equivalent of orcs

That's the first time I've ever heard that analogy, but somehow it works.

Vladmir Putin doesn't care about black people.

That's like saying since it's commonly called "the Flu," it ain't "Influenza."

It may be commonly called Eurasia, but it is still Europe and Asia. Hence Russia is both European and Asian. Europe extends to the Ural Mountains, and Russia falls on both sides. Eurasia is just a lazy way of saying "Europe and Asia."

A winrar is you.

Hey the rest of Europe hates Russian's president and prime minister. Europe doesn't want to have two biatches smacking them directing them to either be apart of the European Union or be a puppet of Russia. Russia seems to get the idea that John McCain is right person to be elected for our next President.

The way I see it, you find out which candidate the world opinion favors & vote for the other one.

Really? Do the Germans like Obama because he reminds them of a woman that couldn't even stand up for herself when she got a backrub from Bush? Do the French like him because he has no problem looking past any and all treaties as long as we keep getting oil?

You know you're in trouble with Hillary has the best ideas (not much competition) but not enough personality or political sense to pull it off. Obama has the personality, but no clue. McCain is wondering the woods with 1/2 formed ideas and a 1/2 formed personality.

Seriously.. what would it take to get someone with ideas AND personality to run? are they mutually exclusive?

/Time to vote for the least of the evils
// again

>Russia seems to get the idea that John McCain is right person to be elected for our next President.

FTFA:
The Republican appears to have made a striking impression on Russians, with 24 per cent saying they would vote for him if they could - a mere seven points behind Mr Obama.

Why? McCain has the most policies that are Anti-Russian. Can someone please explain WHY Russians would think that? I would probably say becuase McCain is White and Obama...well isn't.

/was in Russia in march

NEWSFLASH

Some Russians are being stupid.

BobtheFascist: The way I see it, you find out which candidate the world opinion favors & vote for the other one.

Congratulations, you are exactly the same kind of dumbass as someone who votes for a candidate because Europe thinks they're cool.

Cagey B: at least they were attacked by the people they're fighting right now.

A couple of journalists that have investigated the matter would probably want to disagree, if they weren't so busy being dead.

Fair enough. The Moscow apartment bombings and other events are suspect. But there is a long, long history of violence in the Caucasus region between Russians and Chechens. And there were most definitely attacks separate from the supposed sparking events of the Second Chechen War on Russian personnel and territory.

I'd rather have a cranky, senile autobot than a young, inexperienced decepticon.

Mr Obama appears to have made less of an impact in Britain than elsewhere in Europe. A relatively modest 49 per cent of Britons would vote for him

That's probably because we've already experienced our own Obamamania:

My impression was that the headline was in reference to Boris Yeltsin, or all the incompetent Soviet Premiers who kept dropping dead between Brezhnev and Gorbachev.

From now on, I will start referring to him as "Comrade McCain"

Russia likes McCain because he wants to continue Bush's disastrous foreign policy. Big win for them.

inert: That's probably because we've already experienced our own Obamamania:

I think it has more to do with you all being pussy-whipped biatches who flock to Hillary because she minds you of a Queen.

/Oh yes, I went there

I don't know about Russia but does anyone else find it weird that he quoted Chairman Mao on The Daily Show? He's a manchurian candidate!!111leventy!/11

Not immediately retreating out of Iraq;

Wanting to achieve victory in a war your country is in;

Not wanting a repeat of what happened to the South Vietnamese when the U.S. cut and ran;

And not wanting to undo the recent progress that's finally being made, that was fought for so hard and was so difficult to achieve;

= "warmongering."

Liberal dumbasses.

FishingWithFredo: Liberal dumbasses.

Not a liberal, but the Bush foreign policy is disastrous at best. Their handling of the Iran situation is pathetic and warmongering.

OlafTheBent: Russia is in Europe?

Did I miss a memo?

Anything west of the Ural Mountains is considered Europe, East of them is considered Asia.

Immediately leaving a bullshiat war, that was based on layered lies, with no distinct goals or exit strategy;
Is Iraq "Vietnam" or "World War II"?;
See first point;
="dumbass."

Yep. Warmongering.

Undecided voters may favor John because the sound of his last name creates the urge to scream:

MCBAIN!



/it rhymes

Russia's love for you is like a truck...BERZERKER.

You know you're in trouble with Hillary has the best ideas (not much competition) but not enough personality or political sense to pull it off.

Please. Hillary's ideas are horrible. For one thing, she doesn't even believe them. They are pure political pandering.

But they are still horrible. Paying billions in reperations to guam? health care mandates? Gas tax holiday?

No way you honestly think these are good ideas...

Russia is in Eurasia, and Russia is in Asia, but Russia is not in Europe. It is in the part of Eurasia that is in Asia, therefore if you split Eurasia into Europe and Asia, that doesn't mean that it's in both of them.

Gah, I have a headache just from trying to explain that.

You have no farking idea what you are talking about

Asia: obvious
Europe: Continent that is attached to Asia and whose land boundry is considered to be the Urals
Eurasia: A term for the landmass that comprises BOTH europe and asia

Russia: A country whose boarders extend into both Asia and Europe, thus also being a part of Eurasia.

=

Europe

Notice how part of Russia is in there?

Dear, that don't make no sense! Russia is in Europe and in Asia. That's the only way to explain it. Saying "Eurasia" just makes you sound like one of those 1984 wielding maniacs.

/is sleeping on the couch tonight
//don't argue with your spouse on fark.

My last pic is Eurasia.

notice how it includes ALL of europe in addition to all of asia?

HBK I'd rather have a cranky, senile autobot than a young, inexperienced decepticon.

Oh no you didn't



Besides, everybody knows Hillary is Starscream. McCain is Unicron.

Dah, the Russians are going "We don't know WTF to do with Iran, let this McCain clown step in that pile of shiat so we don't have to."

Optimus Prime is about to punch Obama in the back of the head. :(

Thank you.

Shillmitter, you attempted to spin this in a way to smear McCain, when all the evidence suggests is that Russians and Americans would vote more similarly than say Italians or the French. That's all.

Your fondue is getting cold.

Are you trying to suggest that voting like the Russians would be a good thing?
I'd take super liberal European politics over any form of "Russian Politics" any day. I'd even go to say I'd take yugoslavia's Tito over Russia's leadership.

Um.... Russia is like out biggest enemy in europe. Italy and France are two pretty long standing allies, a few quibbles about Iraq policy with France aside.
