Metal detecting rock. I love my old ACE250 , bought it for a song and it still does the job. Got hooked when my first dig and first coin turned out to be a old English silver florin. But with that aside , if you watch this on mute these guys could be from any country in the world. Russia, China, USA, UK ,Aust, NZ and on and on. My point is we get fed these lines by our governments about the baddies over in ??????? and the baddies in ?????? yet we are all pretty much exactly the same. I love watching vids like this and realizing just how much we enjoy the same things THE WORLD OVER.
@sterling-nz: probably post of the month! Looks like govt around the world need "enemies" so people can forget about their problems at home... :/
Well if Putin were not about the hypocrisy of the usa would not be so evident. After all if Putin does something it is considered a criminal act, if the usa do it they call it fighting for democracy. For any "criminal act" committed by Putin, i am pretty confidant i could point to a similar act committed by the usa that they call fighting for democracy. I am not arguing that all of these acts committed are not criminal, i would argue that the usa commit these acts and try to convince us it is for DEMOCRACY. If you can not see or admit that the usa has "do as we say, not as we do" attitude then it would be pointless arguing our differing points. EDITS, i would prefer no personal digs at each other as i do enjoy your posts. I just have major issue against the way the usa government acts against others on our planet
In think there are many more people responsible for crisis there that only Putin. As usually civil wars are far more complex than other conflicts, especially when outside parties gets involved like in case of Spain before WWII.
If you swallow the MSM, from where I am standing it's a country keeping a buffer from a aggressive surging NATO expansion into Russian sphere of influence. And with good cause to given the rhetoric flying around
LOL And thank for the viewpoint from RT. The biggest chunk of steaming propaganda out there. Umm...I can taste that yummy kremlin's cake but it is still to lumpy and sour to swallow.
Interesting that you say that. Those with more than a passing interest in the issues of media freedom would say otherwise. I suppose you might also find Al Jezeera going against the grain of what you perceive to be truth and therefore must be propoganda? I'll give you a tip, all corporate or state owned media is propoganda to one degree or another; with mainstream US affiliations being towards the top of the list. I know it takes time - and maybe even a tinsy winsy bit of effort instead of just turning on the idiotbox or reading what papers are available locally - but look into any given hotbutton issue of the day from all the *different* systems. Investigate the same issue from 'insights' presented by BBC world service, ABC, CNN, Al Jezeera, RT and Der spiegal and you'll have a baseline on which to go off. Then do your own independant research to come to the truth. Unfortunatly the truth isn't contained in a headline, soundbite, or even a 1 one hour/5 page 'investigative piece' no matter how much you wish it to be so.
Big problem today is that there is no many "real" journalists left. Big media companies are cutting expenses and trying to survive with developing their internet models. On internet info is available basically "in the moment", amount of information is too huge. In the morning you get newspaper which is basically already old. As a consequence they are removing staff that report from foreign countries. This I think is bad practice as then you lack "local" point of view (e.g. reporting about war in Yemen, from comfort of homeplace in some West country).
