k, im really confused here. I said that Russia was the third largest oil producer, and proved it. Where does the russian gas industry come into play?
Oh and even without oil Russia would still be world largest natural gas producer.
You only proved him wrong on the oil production on Russia, not to this and to this I was referring to.
Correction, I made an estimate based on current figures, whereas Otmo just came up with a number from nowhere.
I was talking about the GDP which he got the number from somewhere. He estimated from the current number just like you and you did this after saying not to.
As i said in a previous post, a large percentage of that involves millitary expenditure, which DOESNT impove the standards of living of Russia
Wtf, when did I say it did? He is talking about it becoming a superpower again, that has nothing to do with the quality of life which isn't actually that bad. If it was then why are so many people committing suicide in other countries like America and Japan (1st world) but not in Russia.
Does that mean its growing?
In one way or another yes.
Does that mean a majority of the population are benefiting?
No..... when did anyone say that the majority of Russia was benifiting from the GDP.
Actually i wasnt born in the U.S.A. and it seems that Iliaran has proved enough for you guys to be more than happy. I dont think he needs to prove any more than he has already. When its a "fact" it cant be a "opinion" and you cant seem to get that through your head. And thirdly i dont hate Russia, and this didnt make me hate Russia. And lastly i dont care if you make U.S.A. look bad because every country has its faults but you seem to evade that for Russia. So shut your mouth and come back with better evidence because yours just doesnt seem to hold up your arguments.
By "you guys" do you mean me awell? What has he proved to me? You have given jack shit as evidence, you are just bitching at us, you have to debatable argument, you are just kissing Iliaran's ass(no offence to Iliaran) because this is one of the rare times he bothers to really argue here and what he is saying against Russia suits your American tastes born there or not. You have no really argument here except with anything otmo says and absolutely nothing to back up what you have said. Stop replying with your spammish posts about how we are wrong and how you read all of this thread, you haven't said a word on the original topic, just let me, otmo and Iliaran who actuall has a half decent argument to post about.
Your not even worth talking to..
......................... All the wit I expect off you. some one line piece of crap.
(yea...invading chechnya is GOOD for Russia!).
It probally isn't but that french bastard that almost took Europe said "to have well trained soilders, one must always be at war.
. I would expect the US to be one of the largest importers though. Urm I think he said producer.
