I dont think Russia is a true Communist government but an Oligarch type govt. much like Danny described. LOL
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

If you go back and watch the original Star Trek episode " A Piece of the Action" with James Tiberius Kirk, the current Russian economic system is very similar to the one on planet Sigma Lotia II.

Seems to be lot of splitting hair going on here. Seems to me we should fight dictatorships everywhere they happen by all means possible, no matter what you want to call them.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

They are accepting volunteers in Ukraine if you feel that strongly about it.

Why are we the world's cops? Why are we footing the bill? They want the world cleaned up, they should do it themselves or pay us to do it. When they pay us, first should be funding veterans getting proper care, second should be the taxpayers being refunded for every dime spent. Then we can argue over how the profit above that is spent, after #1 & #2 have been properly taken care of.

all the anti russian demonstrations in ukraine that I have seen on news sites have people carrying signs in perfect english...I doubt many people in ukraine speak/write english. A large percentage of their population speaks English, they study it in their schools. It's the international business language. Not a stretch at all to see signs written in English.

I can't speak for Ukraine but from my time in West Germany I would willingly place a bet that sneaky is correct. As an American I could travel through Germany, France and Spain in the eighties and nineties and have no problem communicating. Most Europeans are almost naturally multilingual seeing as they have so many languages side by side. Heck, Germany itself has several different dialects itself. And they take learning languages in school seriously unlike our playing at electives. We Americans are pretty much lazy and arrogant when it comes to language.
