The official position of our FA department is that NATO maneuvres in black sea serve to "escalate pressure" and "call doubt on the ukrainian peace process". Anti-NATO propaganda is booming, yeah. It may seem stupid for you, but for most of us Russians it's really not.

Yeah, but why single out Canada like that? It's just kinda... weird and nonsensical. Especially since you already have a good target in NATO/the US.

The particular ship that was encountered by Russian planes and provoked this piece of news and this train of thought was Canadian. That's all I think, no further reason needed. what I'm trying to tell you is that the entire Russian people here is being kept extremely frustrated and agressive. It's almost like Palestinian/hamas ideology: the West is threatening our peaceful country and encroaching on our land, so we must hate them and fight them. we feel like the victim despite really being the agressor.

Canada also was one of the first countries to start sanctioning Russia IIRC, so somebody did not do his research...

regarding NATO led by Jews, that is a thing. Just not in official/para-official propaganda yet, but it's a huge ideological staple for far-rights and far-lefts here. Like those Strelkov wants to unite.

Propaganda wise, its not that hard to make that claim.

Claim 1 - US de facto controls NATO through financial means. (Many people believe this statement to be true)

Claim 2 - The Jews de facto control the US through financial means. (Many people believe this statement to be true)

Conclusion - The Jews de facto control NATO through financial means. (The people believing in the two claims above, should also believe in this conclusion. if they don't they have a logical fallacy)

97% of the Scottish electorate are now registered to vote in the referendum according to the Guardian.

If a lot of people registered recently, they might be 'no' voters trying to prevent a close vote for secession.

Actually I consider Canada to be one of few real friends of Ukraine

Canada is everyone's friend. Yes, even Russia.

Hasn't Canada traditionally served as election monitor for Ukraine?

Scottish independence and how it could affect the Scottish computer games industry.

I think we're blessed to have companies like Rockstar North in Scotland. Given our well-established pedigree in the gaming industry we should do everything in our power to grow this industry as it becomes more and more lucrative.

A friend on an IRC told me about that three Scottish banks are threatening to leave if Scotland declares independence.

I didn't know the Scottish people were the one to invent GTA. Woah.

You've never driven in a bad part of Glasgow, I take it. 

[smjjames]

How bad is Chicago compared to Glasgow?

[Loud Whispers]

Surprised no one's mentioned this yet.
Scottish independence: RBS confirms London HQ move if Scotland votes 'Yes.'
Lloyds confirms plans to relocate to London if Scots vote Yes.
The announcements from RBS and Lloyds were swiftly echoed by Clydesdale Bank, TSB Bank and Tesco Bank.
If you try to strike down London it merely comes back stronger than ever before. It must grow stronger if ever it is to finally win its eternal economical contest against New York and Tokyo!

There's the story of the Coca-Cola vending machine:
Coca-Cola had developed a new high-security vending machine. They tested it by deploying it in a really bad part of Chicago.
When they came back, it was evident that people had tried to steal from the machine, even using copious amounts of violence. The machine, however, resisted.
So they decided to put it in other cities too. Glasgow was among these cities. When they came back the next morning, the whole machine was gone.

How bad is Chicago compared to Glasgow?

The way I measure Glasgow up to anything else is with the following event:
A terrorist crashed, blew himself up, was set on fire, and then kicked in the balls with enough force to sprain the guy's ankle in 30 seconds when they attempted to bomb Glasgow airport (Emphasis on attempted. Hit the bollards)

If Chicago has better/worse, I wish to know what that is.

EDIT: LW,

Another man exited the car and ran into the terminal building while he was on fire and began writhing on the ground, before being kicked in the testicles by a member of the public, John Smeaton,[23] who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal for his heroism.

This man is now my personal deity of ball kicking.
