That would explain a hell of a lot.Originally Posted by Mrs Steve R wrote on Fri, 03 April 2015 00:02Quite a few people in this thread seem to think of the Ruskies as good guys, hasn't anyone ever met them on holiday. Rudest people I've ever met.Originally Posted by calonlan wrote on Thu, 02 April 2015 23:50Can't imagine why anyone would ever want to go there.Originally Posted by calonlan wrote on Thu, 02 April 2015 23:48It's a bit like the "I'll support anyone playing Man Utd" mentality (one I share incidentally!) - anyone who opposes Israel or supports anyone who hates Israel is fine by them!Originally Posted by truthpaste wrote on Thu, 02 April 2015 23:21Iran hates every square inch of Israel, Russia is in bed with Iran, simple.Originally Posted by Steve R wrote on Wed, 01 April 2015 14:52I don't think you have that right at all.Originally Posted by truthpaste wrote on Wed, 01 April 2015 11:59I intensely dislike the actions that Israel takes, but I'm not to fond of Russia either.Originally Posted by redjk wrote on Wed, 01 April 2015 09:38From my experience, the people who are sympathetic towards Russia, tend to be the people who are most distrustful of our own media's version of events. Russia is usually selling an alternative story to go along with its aggression, and to people who want to believe that we are being fed a load of lies by our government this can be quite seductive.Originally Posted by truthpaste wrote on Wed, 01 April 2015 09:25There is probably some crossover with people who also dislike Israel, but I don't think anyone is supportive of Russia because they are anti Israel (if indeed they are).Originally Posted by TruBlue wrote on Tue, 31 March 2015 23:40To me, anyone who thinks Russia are harmless and demonized by western propaganda should go and do some research into the people running the country.
