So am I the only one entirely suspicious that one day pretty damn soon we'll wake up to the red flag flying over Moscow again?

Seriously, this isn't me being...well, me.

Tell me no one else is considering this as a potential

	More like it's the country as a whole. It's a bit too familiar. The States didn't boycott this time but...perhaps it should have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a bit extreme isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notachesspiece 2014-02-17 10:27 am UTC (link)
	Not really. Though at least having the media there is exposing what everyone has swept under the rug for years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When you've lived through as many changes in Russia as we have, when it's impacted you as personally as it has us, you notice things.

I personally don't think it's going communist tomorrow or anything. But their economy is troubling, Putin's lack of concern for his people is heartbreaking, and the fact that they knew they were to be on the world stage and still left parts of the city in ruins? Well. It doesn't speak highly to their politics.

	The lack of concern for people? With you on that. And the politics too though that isn't really my area. That doesn't mean communism is making a threatening comeback. But you seem to ~~be para~~ know what you're talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notachesspiece 2014-02-17 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	No, it doesn't. But it also isn't impossible. Well, I did play a part in the Cold War, I do have some idea what happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And a reason to be a bit over zealous about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notachesspiece 2014-02-18 12:03 am UTC (link)
	My father is considered a missing person, I haven't seen my home country since I was five, and I nearly lost everything because Communists decided I'd make an excellent political pawn. If I'm a bit overzealous, my apologies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wasn't trying to criticise, Florence. This place really throws a mixed bag together doesn't it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notachesspiece 2014-02-18 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Sorry. That was a bit defensive, I suppose. Oh, it does. I once thought my life was relatively exciting, until I got here. Now I'm one of the more mundane sorts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_sicparvismagna 2014-02-18 03:45 am UTC (link)
	It's no issue. I've always thought mine was pretty normal. Then again it's all I really know. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Course it is, twenty something years and you all forget (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_sicparvismagna 2014-02-17 10:52 am UTC (link)
	Because twenty years. Times change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not always. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is what we're doing today? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dethronedking 2014-02-17 10:42 am UTC (link)
	Yup. Not a damn thing changed (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some has. It hasn't escalated to those extremes yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not yet. Load of budding Molokov's waiting in the wings (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notachesspiece 2014-02-17 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	Possibly. Or not. We won't know unless things up and change again. Till then, it's pointless to worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dethronedking 2014-02-17 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. Its just been playing on my mind (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd be surprised if it hadn't been with everything else going on. It'll be fine, Freddie. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	~~And that's a bad thing?~~ History does tend to repeat itself. I wouldn't be too surprised. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dethronedking 2014-02-19 09:45 am UTC (link)
	Its kind of pathetic really. The place was a mess the first time round, twisted and believing its own hype. If people didn't learn from that then I guess they are doomed to repeat it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~It wasn't such a~~ Absolutely. It's kind of sad, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dethronedking 2014-02-21 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	Sad? They deserved for it to fail. Commies are basically hypocritical psychopaths. Did they ever really think that was any way to run a society. And now there's McDonalds and a Gap in red square. Its hillarious. For however long more it lasts (Reply to this) (Parent)
