Вашингтон НЕ заинтересован в новых территориях. В этом заинтересованы прежде всего мы, простые граждане умирающей страны.

А как присоединиться к другой стране против ее воли, к стране, не заинтересованной в нашей территории?
Да и сомневаюсь, что, если такой вопрос будет вынесен на референдум, он получит большинство голосов.

What makes you think so?

Это вам в госдепе сказали? Сколько России (Руси) и сколько США лет? Еще США переживем :p

Cогласен с вами, коллега. Давайте отдадим страну на аутсорсинг, чего уж там. Разве мы, посконно-домоткано-кондовые, управимся с такой страной, когда Повелитель Стерхов улетит в страну Вечной Охоты?

А в ресурсах?
Может быть вы верите в то, что в Югославию, Ирак, Ливию и т.п. Вашингтон бомбил во имя демократии? :D

Dear Артём! To start with, I should say that the Cold War echo is too strong in minds of common Russian people. Our parents, our grandfathers and grandmothers were taught that the American imperialism is the main enemy of the Communist world (and, frankly speaking, so it really was, same as USSR was the main counterpart of the United States). Many representatives of those generations are still alive, and it is normal for them, that the USA has always been, and continues to be, our opponent.
Secondly, many people connect the 'perestroika', or, as it is sometimes called, 'catastroika', with the USA again, blaming the American politicians for supporting Mr. Gorbachev and the economic consequences connected with perestroika, especially the 90s that followed.
Thirdly, the American government as well keeps behaving as a Cold War superpower, which is disliked by many Russian citizens, who do not support Mr Putin, but who would really mind the repetition of democratic reforms a la 90s.
I could speak about it at great length, but I hope that I satisfied your curiosity, generally?

In your dreams!!!

Bullshit!!! These words are from books. They don't have any connections with real life.

Never Say Never Again.

США конечно великая страна и жить там намного лучше, чем в РФии, но я бы предпочел объединиться с Австрией или Швейцарией :D

Proof or GTFO! :D
Bro, you wanna say that the USA was our best friend during the Cold War? Or what, gonna say the Marines and the United States Navy aren't sent anywhere you wanna see them in, eh? You're just sitting peacefully on your continent, planting corn and don't give a shit about what's happening in Europe and Asia?

О да - Швейцарская область и Австрийский край нам не помешают :D

Наш ЛидерТекстильнойКоманды уже предлагал присоединить Россию к Украине. И Белоруссию прихватить, чего уж там. И столицу сделать в Бобруйске. :cool:

Comrades, let's speak English in this forum. It's so interesting.

What is GTFO?

It is an abbreviation of a rather unpolite 'Get the F*** Out', commonly used in the same context :D The link is to Lurkmore, common usage - proof or GTFO, for girls - tits or GTFO...
Though I didn't really mean that, it just came in handy :cool:
Ok? :)
As for me, I don't mind, but I can't say for others.
