lot of Russian - not it is time to protect the Russian citizens in America?!! A good occasion for intrusion the

order in America - let Americans will see Russian tanks!! The western countries - it of the prostitute - Gitler,
Stalin, their Putin-this product of arts! If they would be noble people they never have admitted(allowed)
concentration camps in Europe and so much sufferings of millions people! White this white, black - it black! Russia
declares normal people in fascism, terrorism of all has passed to it Road! Mass media of Russia on all
continents do it the false information! Except for all Russia uses the Internet and other technological
opening in the world for achievement of the political dividends, Putin cleans the opponents with the help of poison

and other psychotropic means, которпые to find out it is impossible!Russian Mister Zhirinovsky has told very much
imple - America, almost ours!! While president Bush loves with Putin, in the world there were some changes! The
NATO - TRUST is impossible! Everyone is protected independently! And if me will call, as reserverman- I with a
plaesure shall go to shoot at animals! My opinion is necessary to the Western countries do it opportunity to punish
Russia once and for all!
