How many Russians are in Russia, and so follow the events in Ukraine. So, VTsIOM did not discover anything new.

[Nasrat]

By and large .... I practically do not follow the events in Ukraine ... I am sincerely sorry that the Donbass is suffering .. And so - do not care about Ukraine, although relatives live near Kiev - they rode themselves, get the result.
Our media practically bypasses, and the vile debate in prime time just got it - who is watching them ??? Lead the TV channels - please stop this debate - they got it already !!

It is necessary to monitor Ukraine in the interests of Russia's own national security.

It’s like a neighbor’s dog!
It would be ridiculous and dangerous for citizens, for example, going out on their own business from their own home, not to pay attention to the neighbor’s dog - whether it’s an aggressive and angry dog ​​or not! and where is his dog already! Maybe he is already at your gate ?!

We have someone to follow ... they were taught this + they also get money for it.

If there is a war, then one way or another all citizens of the Russian Federation will be mobilized for war!
And, in your opinion, NasRat, with which, according to the knowledge about the enemy’s brains, Russians will go to war with the enemy! Do you want Russia to have more victims in the war?
If a soldier does not know what he is fighting for, he becomes a quick and easy victim of the aggressor!

Oh well! It’s immediately obvious why you yourself chose such a nickname “NasRat”! On the principle - "My hut from the edge - I know nothing!" So?

[Nasrat]

Drink soothing pills and exercise - dig a trench in front of the house, at full height - so that the enemy does not pass !!! I wish you success!

ps again convinced(first time Ukraine)that the people massively bring to paranoia, with the appropriate impact of the media - this is not a long thing ...

Oh, yes, I also saw such "bold" as you! They usually say this: “And with our age, we would be able to calmly die now, so that we would be buried without war! After all, we’ll have absolutely nothing to live! And after our death, even though the grass doesn’t grow everywhere! at all - we don’t care! " Good luck to you too!

[Nasrat]

I have already passed my wars, if that .... I was not bold, but I did not hide behind my comrades ...
Reading your pseudo patriotic nonsense is disgusting.

That's it - "I have already passed my wars!" And others will still have to go through their wars! For the rest, I apologize if something is wrong!

Reading your pseudo-patriotic nonsense is disgusting.

Well, you yourself write so that your "patriotism" is clear to all of us! And then how they whine - and respond!

[Nasrat]

And I don’t have any ostentatious patriotism - that’s why you don’t understand it. If I wrote that I follow the events in Ukraine day and night - would you like me? And I would be a patriot, in your eyes? Excuse me, I’m a direct person - if I don’t follow Ukraine and that hysteria in our mass media, then I say so - I don’t follow! And to do the image of a zealous patriot - I do not need anything!

[Tatyana]

And then, ostentatious and showy patriotism? I personally proceed from the interests of elementary pragmatism in the war in the interests of the people for victory over the enemy. The social instinct of collective self-preservation should work. There cannot be trifles here!
If there is a threat to the country, it must be monitored. The enemy needs to be tactically and strategically studied and tracked.
Before vigilance on the country's security, adults even taught children!

You are right, you need to follow, but how tired it is .... Whatever the day, the new excrement of the Kiev spill, and so - "... uncle in Kiev ...", "in Lviv is undergoing major repairs ...", "in Odessa everything is calm, calm, calm ... "
But in the Crimea, the first blocks of the thermal power station, according to Novak’s promise, will be launched in the 1st quarter of 2018, and it pleases.

[petrol cutter]

"Ukraine should be monitored in the interests of Russia's own national security."
Strongly agree with you.

[RASKAT]

----- We are not slaves ----
Who are you? The gang did not understand who threw off the legitimate president, almost killed the former prime minister. And now milks you just like slaves. He calls cities and streets whatever he wants, having lifted tariffs several times, the hryvnia as well as the economy as a whole collapsed almost to the pre-default level, etc. They spit from high tribunes into the faces of your fathers and grandfathers and into the whole Soviet past, they forbid you to speak your native language , all who disagree with whom to prison to whom the bullet, and you all humbly endure, who are you after that, if not slaves?

[Smoked]

Well, first of all, how not to follow, all the same, her mother.
Secondly, the media will not give no follow up.
Something like this.

They won’t give. You're right.
But the emphasis is currently more biased on what is happening in the ATS ...

Do not follow will not give the media.
Something like this.

That's right, because if you do not write about Ukraine, you would have to cover life in your own country where serious problems are also higher than the roof. Otherwise, where would over a million calls to the President go to the “direct line” to solve not only serious, but also elementary issues ...
Only now not everyone can get through and what remains for them to do with their unresolved problems? Keep track of what is happening in Ukraine and worry about the fate of civilians in Syria and Iraq and "there are no other worries"? How can I not recall the joke about Honduras ....

[Smoked]

I don’t know about you, but as I saw the news about my own country, I still see it. Just if before they were presented as a guard of guard, now it’s more calm.

[Xnumx vis]

There are many complainers and whiners. Much less taxpayers .. Why me. my children, my wife, we work about a huge number of people - we pay taxes regularly, but does everyone use free education, medicine, payments for children, subsidies for housing and communal services and other social money? You do not give income tax to the society-state; you do not have the rights of a citizen of the country. And the point! Enough to produce cunning ... x!

[den-protector]

They are also being watched because our independent pseudo-media are persistently pushing us, like, look, we have some problems in Russia, but in Ukraine it’s even worse. And if you do not want, as in Ukraine or in Syria, then you need to rally around the current government. She, darling, will protect and not allow. Naturally, no one wants war or Maidan. Therefore, people still endure bourgeois lawlessness in Russia, which would not be worse.

And if we compare it with what is happening, for example, in Zimbabwe, then we must pray in general for our dear authority, for our benefactors ....

Damn, now give me an idea, and then we will all have "happiness"

I wonder what is there

[spirit]

If you watch TV, you get the feeling that you live just the same in Ukraine and border on Syria. And what about us in Russia? as they say is not your business))

[LUCKY777]

Stupidly does not learn from the mistakes of others, besides, a free circus. We learned from them to pour water on their assholes (in / in Ukraine, where you can’t get into a schizo). After all, they don’t allow us to watch the gay parade, idiots walk in the streets in crowds. Well, to be honest, I look forward to the next Maidan, we are bored, silence and order, work, salary on time, longing ...

[Winnie the Pooh]

It’s just mainly Ukrainian, foreign news on channels, newspapers. Therefore, the "follow".
To hide your problems and not discuss them. They make a fool of people.

[Naughty]

Bullshit! .... Yes, there was a time when at the beginning of events it can be said that 101% of Russians watched this Now it’s no longer relevant. Forgive our media out of habit. Or maybe for American money they load us with information from nezalezhno Empty and unnecessary
