Dmitry Medvedev: ‘I‘ll Do Anything to Make Ukrainians Disappear’

If you talk about luxury goods, that's standard of living.

No matter how much of a king you are in your own country, you do not get access to Gucci or Prada unless the population can afford it, not just because you can afford it. That's why you don't see any of the luxury goods brand have any shop in Libya or North Korea, no matter how rich these dictator is.

Libya and North Korea have sanctions.

For countries where there are no sanctions, you can be sure the ultra-elite get every single luxury item that is available in the West. They have them specially flown in if need be. The life of the ultra-elite is a whole different universe to the rest of us.

P.S. What's amusing is that the people who walk around like gods in their own countries (because they are above the law) become meek and ordinary when they go to the West. It's kinda funny watching them learn humility... :)

Well, that's still about the standard of living, if you have to flow these luxury in. Because that is what they are going to do in the west otherwise not possible in their home country.

I mean sure Idi Amin drive a Mercedes, but if you want an AMG, the only place you can get them is in Germany, because even if you can import one, you can't maintain it as there are no AMG dealer that can do it in Uganda....

That also goes for high quality, highly mastered vinyl records.

OK, I can accept that these things are part of standard of living.

To me, standard of living mostly means the intangible things. Like not getting shot for criticizing the government, having your kids get a good education in free public schools, having reliable public services, being able to trust the police force, etc.

Those are more like the right of a citizen. Ala Bill of Right.........

On the other hand, standard of living defined as

  1. the degree of wealth and material comfort available to a person or community.

What's with you and vinyl record?? You collect them or listen to them or something??

Big listener and big collection.

However, wouldn't consider myself an 'official collector.'

Although I would estimate that about 30% of my collection, I could sell for a more than a decent profit

Used to collect Vinyl record myself, mostly bootleg Jazz, but then I just stopped, I don't really know why, maybe I was just doing it for Jazz (people say it sound better on Vinyl) I don't know.

That's why I keep saying that letting CPC/CPSU kids, and wives live in the West only reinforce conviction of their elites. It makes them think that "communism" works for them personally, and that they are doing it right. This way they get the best of both world.

Gucciprada, and gulags full of slaves whom you only need to feed enough to not to drop dead.

They don't need to maintain Shenzhen and other potemkin villages for trendy elite kids to live if they can just send them to the West, and let the rest of the country to be a human pigsty.

This kind of "communism" works perfectly for a low maintenance country you can use to farm money to spend in the West.

Well it can obviously be subjective, but I'd say I am one of those people.

Not just with jazz though. An analog recording possesses a warmth that an antiseptic digital track does not possess.

Not a vinyl snob by any means tho, because I also enjoy high resolution audio recordings depending on what kind of music and what mood I'm in.

I like having the option of Both Worlds

The outside world used to consider him the sane one at the Kremlin top table. But Dmitry Medvedev, who served Vladimir Putin as prime minister and famously did a job swap to keep him in power for life, is every bit as genocidal as his boss when it comes to Ukraine. In a post on social media app Telegram, where he routinely calls for the extinction of Ukraine as a nation, Medvedev wrote: “People often ask me why my Telegram posts are so harsh. The answer is I hate them. They are bastards and scum. They want death for us, for Russia. And as long as I’m alive, I’ll do anything to make them disappear.” See you in The Hague, Dmitry.





And you thought PUTIN WAS BAD !!! :lol: :lol: :lol: This guy is on another level - he will eat US alive if he has to ! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Genocide tribunal you say ? The world is still waiting for the humanitarian American government to deliver George Bush jr and Tony B'liar to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission which in 2011 declared those two as genociders and war criminals in context of the 2003 Iraq invasion. And when you send them please add to the package a few other humanitarians - Obomba, Killary Kill-in-tons, Camoron, Sarkozy, the leaders of their proxies Al Qaeda and "Muslim" Brotherhood, then the Gulf sheikhs, all on charges of invasion, genocide and war crimes against the Libyan Jamahiriya and Syria.

They love the western freedoms for their children. Just not for average Russians

Umm, can you speak about India please from where you source your profile picture of a Hindu god ?

Luxury goods you say ? How many ordinary citizens in the West and the Western bloc like India can afford these luxury goods without taking a big loan ( if banks will give them firstly ) to purchase these items and having to pay off the interest-based debt for years to come and having to sacrifice other things even basic necessities to balance even one luxury item ? A HERMES Birkin ladies bag starts off at 26,471 dollars. Why cannot everyone person in the Western bloc be able to afford this bag ? Why do you keep it only for the rich class ? Why have socio-economic classes at all ( super rich, rich, middle, poor ) ? You don't have socio-economic and political democracy in the Western bloc yet you speak against the pre-2011-invasion Libyan Jamahiriya and North Korea where the system provided / provides basic necessities like housing, basic food, water, healthcare, electricity, education etc for free and the citizen doesn't have to get himself or herself into a dog-eat-dog work environment just to "pay the bills" ?

Well, they needed Shenzhen because these people that went to the west will never go back....

Depends on what kind of luxury goods and what do you mean by ordinary citizens.

We are what you would call a "Ordinary Aussie Family" earn around 150,000 a year after tax, my wife own a few pairs of Louboutin and Jimmy Choo and a few of those Channel suit. I mean, if I wanted (and my wife allowed) I can probably buy a Ferrari outright.

The problem you have is "Have and have not" it's a bad question why someone flip burger for $21 per hours cannot afford luxury item, the better question is why you can only work at a burger joint in the first place. You work hard, you play hard, that's how this world is working, I mean you expect everything but don't want to work for it?? If you want to be a burger flipper, then you lost the right to complain about why I cannot afford a Playstation 5 or A pair of Louboutin heel.

Also, in case you do not notice, Australia have universal health care, free education all the way up to Tertiary Education, you can live in Free housing provided by the Estate if you want. And the government is paying you 550 a fortnight for sitting on your arse and do nothing. It's more than able to afford food, and electricity, while most people use these government handout on poker machine and drugs on top of food.

@jhungary, before I ask you further questions I have one I must ask. I logged out to check your IP location flag which shows you logged-in from Australia so are you going to Ukraine from Australia or USA ?
