Article 172 of Criminal Code of Russian Federation. Up to five years for equivalent of 9M of roubles, up to two years for 2.25M. Where are you getting all the crap you bring here? Try Reuters and Al Jazeera.
Black market ratio is like +20 roubles to official one.

Here it says up to 7years:

But if its really 5 years it doesnt matter much, still hell long time, especially when they send you to some remote, cold work camp.

Do you think when America /Australia threaten Solomon Island with possible "military" action, an Island whose population is less than 1 Million because they recently signed a security agreement with China last 2 weeks is supporting democracy and respecting other country's sovereignty ?


One major difference is that Australia doesnt have nukes to defend themselves when attacked.

Nope, not really.
War goes on, heavy losses on both sides.
There were some civilians evacuated from Mariupol.

In one week, 9may, there will be a big National military holiday in Russia, there are various speculations if anything takes place on that day or just before it.

(...)

edit: imagine if a time came when Russia or China was funding, arming and gearing Mexico for a war with the US.


My friend first of all I dont see China on the same continent as USA and mexico. And in Europe NATO and Russia are neighbours.
Second of all, you have no idea what terrible things have Russia done in the past to people of East Europe.
And they are now worse than ever, so this time even worse thing will happen if they conquer it.
This is why there is such a strong resistance to Russia here, and willingness to stay in the western world, that we are part of for more than 30 years already.
Not to mention, that they dont really have to stop in eastern Europe, why not attack also Germany and France and other countries?
France has nukes, but will the peaceful French people have the courage to launch them on Russia and start the nuclear defensive war? I have some doubts about it. I think the French people would rather accept the Russian occupation, similar as they did with nazi occupation during ww2.
Especially when a president is some kind of Russia friend like ms Le Pen.

Im just catching up on the topic. I saw some of the flaming, remember its normal to have a difference of opinion, no need to flame people or personal attacks ok, everyone is coming at this from their own past.

Mr Trump is not the only Republican party figure who is supported by Qanon and Neonazis, I means you are in a bipartism, so Qanon and Neonazis don't have much more choice than to vote for the republican dude every single time. The trick here is that Trump won using some kind of indecent populism, questionning american constitution system itself. Second term failed by some margin.

You are 75 years late, and you refuse to read WIKIPEDIA:
"
Jewish-Ukrainian billionaire Ihor Kolomoyskyi was the main source of Azov's funding before it was incorporated into the National Guard.
=>
According to some researchers, it must be understood that the Ukrainian far-right/ultra-nationalist groups are not necessarily anti-Semitic, as the term "far right" might more likely imply in the Western European context. The Ukrainian far-right and ultra-nationalist groups are characterized as anti-Russian instead, although anti-Semitism cannot be excluded in all cases
"


I found this relevant while accepting this is a grey area. In the round i liked this contribution.

China...has all the time it wants to slowly...take territories.


forgive me for not fully quoting but the overall theme remains.





this video is excellent, thank you. For those of you that wont watch the video my impression is that he outlined that western society - the model for democracy - cannot be easily converted to other cultures.

Many in charge, or from old influent and wealthy families, will also claim it's not compatible or "doesn't work" because they know they will lose a large part of their power if democracy is implemented.
/e and they will do everything to not let it naturally grow: typically press, information, political freedom. Tensions start here.
